Hi, I just started working out and watching what I eat and I was told to try greek yogurt as good breakfast add on. What brqnds are good? I tried yoplait and I didn't like it. Any ideas???
Thanks

Chobani is good. I mix in granola or fruit, too.

I like the Oikos, either vanilla or honey. Usually about 13g protein for a 5.3oz cup.

Greek yogurt is usually more tart than what you might be used to, and the ones with fruit don't cover that well. The vanilla and honey flavors do.

I like Fage.

I like Cabot. It's a little cheaper than Chobanni. I mix it with granola. It's a super delicious breakfast!

I've tried most of the brands and they are all good- even the store brand (we have Winn Dixies here!).... much yummier than regular yogurt!!!

Hated it for moons-- "that Greek crap," was my favorite name for it-- but it definitely grows on you. I like Chobani, and have tried some cheaper store brand that was good, too-- I like a touch of honey, some walnuts-- delish.

Lately I've been eating the Traditional Full Fat GREEK GODS brand. I'll mix in some blueberries, slivered almonds, and 1tbsp honey. It's amazing. About 190 cals total. Mmmmmmm.

I did Oikos for a long time and it was fine. I then moved on to Chobani. More flavors and honestly a better flavor after I tried it for a while.

Greek yogurt is an acquired taste. It has about twice the amount of protein as regular yogurt. The plain kind is the best for you because the flavored kinds have a ton of sugar. If you add berries & granola to plain Greek yogurt it is good. I like Oikos or Chobani, but the Kroger brand isn't bad either.

Big fan of Chobani myself.

Chobani Strawberry Bananna is my all time favorite or the mango is really good too. I have a different flavor each day for breakfast cause the protein keeps me full for a long time and its really tasty. Let me know what you think.

I like pretty much all of them, but you should be aware that the tastier ones have a lot of fat. Ha. But really, check the label.

I eat Dannon Oikos regularly. It has 0 fat and good protein. You can get it plain, with honey, or fruit on the bottom.

i started out with the chobani with fruit and fell in love. i've also had dannon (not my fav). as far as plain, i've had chobani, greek god, and fage. i like them all and usually substitute the plain as sour cream because it does have a tangier flavor. for breakfast, i'll add berries and a little agave.

Stoneyfield has a great Caramel flavored one!

TeaBea

Yeah - Yoplait greek is not very good. Kinda chalky.

Athenos (flavored) is really low sugar ... but good (Wal-Mart). I like the pineapple the best. Containers are not very tall, but are bigger around than other brands.

Chobani is good too.

I like the Oikos, either vanilla or plain, I find the honey one too sweet.

They are pricey but woth it in my opinion.

lniffa

I do Chobani, the Strawberry and the pomegranate is my fav.

DixiedoesMFP

I hated it at first too. It tasted like bitter sour cream. Now I really enjoy it. Currently eating the Stonyfield farms Oikos because it has more protein but Chobani with the fruit flavors is also tasty. I add Bare Naked Granola and it is yummy. If you really can't stand it though, don't force yourself to eat anything you don't enjoy.

I just started eating Chobani and love it! I tried the ones with fruit on the bottom... strawberry is my favorite! I might try some other less expensive brands... been wanting to try honey.

The pay-off is great, espeically the fat-free, but if you don't find the right mixture of add-ins, it can be light eating sour cream. I mix in fresh fruit - raspberries, blueberries, apple, etc. - and count in 1/2 cup of the fruit along with the 6oz serving of yogurt. It really does give you a good fill up. I've only tried Chobani, so far.

I like mine mixed in with my hot cereal in the morning: oatmeal, or Red River cereal.

I have tried all the brands available in my area and have found the Fage 2% to be the better one. I always get the plain so I can add in what I want. I use honey most of the time. Granola & fruits are good too.

Greek yogurt is usually more tart than what you might be used to, and the ones with fruit don't cover that well. The vanilla and honey flavors do.

I also like Oikos it's made by Dannon & is more mild in flavor not tart like some of the others. I like the Vanilla & Key Lime flavors.

I love the FAGE 0%... texture and taste is great. You can add a few berries to it if you like to change it up. I even dip my reduced fat wheat thins in it LOL

I love the Oikos honey one the best! But the blueberry is really good too

I like Dannon, but I've also found two generics that are very good-Aldi's Friendly Farms brand and Hannaford/Sweetbay's Taste Inspirations brand.
