Greek Yogurt

charlie716

What kind of greek yogurt is good and doesn't have that dry texture to it? I love the Trader Joe's Honey Greek yogurt but it has 29 g of sugar (I believe). I don't know if that is a good sugar count for greek yogurt or not. I would like to try a yogurt that has lower sugar but no addiives. Thanks.

i like Fage0 or 2%

29g of sugar?? Yikes!! Plain non-fat Fage has 7g sugar. If you add in sugar-free or low-sugar fruit jelly/preserves and/or fresh fruit it is delicious.

Not sure how much sugar is in it but the only kind I've tried is Chobani low fat with fruit on the bottom.

Aldi's plain greek yogurt... and flavored with some mio.. delicious! And only 90 calories for 6oz.

Chobani, Yoplait, Brown Cow, they're all good.

Fage 0% w/ fresh berries

I just tried the Kirkland brand greek yogurt (Costco) It is AWESOME!! I was looking for the Fage 0%, but my Costco just has the Kirkland and it is so much better. It doesn't have as strong of a tang to it and it has a good amount of protein and low sugar. Plus, it is CHEAP!

Chobani or Fage Non-Fat. Any flavor.

Fage, chobani and other high quality Greek yogurts are what you want. Plain yogurt and mix in honey, nuts etc.
Look at the nutrients(duh) and see how many gram's of protein it has. It should have at least 20 per serving.

There are so much more good things in the better quality ones that will help your body not only lose weight, be be much healthier.

I also buy plain, fat free and add my own items (honey & vanilla, berries, etc)

I agree..the Costco one is quite good. I do put low sugar preserves in it as well as fresh blueberries and 1/4 cup granola...

One of my favorite things to eat is 3oz of Fage 0% fat, mixed with either a can of tuna or chopped up grilled chicken, and cut up a stalk of celery. Sprinkle on some lemon pepper and celery seed... mmm.

Is that stuff that Uncle Jesse is hocking in TV any good?

rocketpants

My favorite is the Kroger brand. It is sweetened with steevia

Second favorite is chobani

Chobani is my favorite out of the ones I have tried.

I like them all! The dryer kind reminds of Quark (Curd cheese, popular back home in Germany). I buy mine plain and flavor with honey, fruit or just leave it plain as it is!

Here are the ones that I've tried and the sugars in them:
Yoplait Strawberry Greek - Sugar - 20
Yoplait Honey Vanilla Greek - Sugar - 18
Chobani Blueberry Greek - Sugar - 20
Dannon - Oikos Fruit on the bottom - Blueberry - sugar -19
Dannon - Oikos Fruit on the bottom - Vanilla - Sugar -18
Taste of Inspirations - Vanilla - Sugar - 17

None of these are great on Sugar.
The Dannon Oikos is my absolute favorite- I LOVE them. (and I normally hate yogurt - LOL)

Good Luck!!

I like Fage 2% with a teaspoon of Agave Nectar, if I need something sweet, or some fresh fruit (whole or pureed).

I use Fage 0%. My son says there is no flavor. But I am always adding a little honey or fresh fruit so I don't notice the flavor or texture.

ALSO, I use it instead of sour cream with everything. My kids never knew the difference.

Fage non-fat with berries and whatever high fiber cereal you like and top off with chopped almonds or walnuts. Well rounded and will help with digestion after any meal that you might have trouble with.

Chobani!!!!

TeaBea

Are you looking for a texture close to regular yogurt?

Oikos Organic (Stoneyfield Farms) is almost runny compared to most greek yogurts. This is not the same thing as Dannon Oikos, which is much thicker.

I like Athenos Greek if I want the fruit without all the sugar - 9 or 10 grams per serving, depending on which kind you buy (unless you get honey, of course).

barbarabo

I like the Chobani and the yoplait. The sugar content is better than some. I got an Activia greek yogurt the other day thinking I would be helping my gut too, and it was good, but I should have looked at the sugar content before I ate it. The Chobani depends on which one you get but I think they are all less than 20g. I would like to find one as well that tastes good but has less sugar. Generally, the ones I have tried that are marketed as Low-carb are disgusting.

Thanks for all the information. It looks like I have asome yogurt to try!

Yes, the Oikos yogurt by Dannon is VERY good; it's even better than Chobani [in my opinion].

LisaKyle11

Fage 2% hands down.

leomentlines

Chobani pomegranate is my favorite hands-down, but their 2% pineapple or strawberry banana ones are pretty amazing too

I love Chobani Fat Free Plain. It's really creamy and delicious.
