I know that there was so posts about Greek yogurt in the forums. But I was wondering which greek yogurts people like, and what is the "healthiest" for you. I believe I read that as long as it has higher protein then sugar, its better for you, is this a good "rule of thumb",

Thanks!!! :)

    I liked the Aldi Happy Farm greek yogurt the best. It has the consistency of sour cream, and makes the best substitute for it on a baked potato or taco.

    Go to your grocery store and buy 1-2 flavors of each brand of Greek yogurt (Chobani, Fage, Oikos, etc) and decide which one you like best. All of them will have about equal ratios of calories and macronutrients, so it's mostly up to which one you enjoy eating the most.
    Just be careful, the fruit-on-the-bottom ones are delicious but can have up to 21g of sugar. A 'plain' Greek yogurt (like Fage 0% just for example) has 18g of protein and 7g of sugars, but some people find the taste of the plain hard to deal with so they add in fresh fruit, granola, etc.

    My PERSONAL favorite is Siggi's skyr, which is actually Icelandic style yogurt. It has 14g of protein per serving, and 9g of sugar. And I think it tastes like cheesecake (it's creamier than Greek yogurt)...but unfortunately it's also expensive.

    I live in Canada and like Liberté brand 0% but now I'm on to Oikos 2%. It's so thick and luscious!
    I buy both plain and add my own berries and such.

    I think Fage with honey is the best.

    I'm not as crazy about the Fage fruit yogurts, but I could eat Fage with honey with every meal.
  • Thanks for all your suggestions... I just had no where to start! :0)

    Fage and Athenos are the ways to go.

    I think Chobani has a weird texture. Can't put my finger (spoon?) on it. But many people love it.
  • Chobani is my favorite!
