Well, the supermarkets I go to have been out of my Fage total 0%:grumble:
So I tried the Chobani. Higher in protein and slightly higher in calories. For me, the texture was gritty and the taste more like cottage cheese than yogurt. It was okay, but just not as creamy as the Fage.
There you go. Unfortunately, I bought like six containers, so I will muddle through and hope they start stocking more of the Fage.

    That stinks. I hate it when you buy something and it's not at all what you expected. Is it plain or with fruit and stuff? Maybe you can make smoothies or soup out of it? Hopefully if you blend it up and mix it with enough other ingredients, it will taste better and you can use it up.

    Greek Gods is pretty close to Fage, and you can buy the large size of it. I like the "honey" flavored version.

    DO you have a Trader Joe's around?? I got my Fage there. I haven't tried it yet. I'm a little scared since I normally don't like yogurt but I'm up for trying something new! :bigsmile:

    Revisited?
    Maybe the container I had the other day was bad, but I just had another one and it was not gritty at all. Creamy, smooth ... tasty after all. I'll have to have more and report back as to which is the anomaly.

    I use the Chobani and what i do is take a lil Blue Agave Syrup (which i got at trader joe's) and mix in some fruit...about a tsp of the syrup is all i need...it taste delicious and sometimes i throw in some of TJ's granola in there too

    Yep!! It was definitely an "off" package. All the others have been just fine!
