    Did you know that if you take your favorite regular yogurt and filter it using a coffee filter placed in a strainer for an hour or so, you make Greek yogurt? This doesn't work on the flavored yogurts, but if you buy the plain and then sweeten with stevia flavors, or just add your favorite jelly or honey, it tastes great!

    Chobani raspberry with vanilla protein powder every day for breakfast. YUM!

    I'm going to have to try that. My favorite is Chobani black cherry with chocolate protein powder :)

    I just tried Chobani last week and LOVE it!! I'm trying to get my hubby to switch. I think all the flavors are great but haven't tried them all yet. Passion Fruit was crazy good, almost too sweet but the creaminess helps!

    I, too, am "addicted" to Greek yogurt, and my favorite is Fage Total 0% plain--mixed with fresh fruit and a bit of splenda, and also used everywhere in place of sour cream.

    Here's good news for all of us: According to _The Lean Belly Prescription_, by Dr. Travis Stork, "Harvard Medical School researchers found that people who ate three servings of dairy foods daily (containing 1,200 mg of calcium) were 60 percent less likely to be overweight than people who consumed less. And a study in 'Molecular Systems Biology' found that yogurt-based bacteria can also reduce the amount of fat the body can absorb during digestion." He goes on later to state, "A University of Tennessee study found that people who added three servings of yogurt a day to their diets lost 81 percent more belly fat over 12 weeks than those who didn't eat yogurt! Just beware of the ones with tons of added sugar!"

    I've just recently started reading this book (recommended by a friend who's had success following the plan), and I'm planning to up my consumption of yogurt. Easy to do, since I love it so much!

    all of them! Does anyone know if they make a "light" version? That is a lot of calories. I love it though

    They actually aren't too high in calories considering the protein content. and nearly all of the are fat free.

    Aww, no Cabot fans?? I could be a little biased (my dh works there, and I do believe the marketing team would be sad to hear they aren't being talked about more!) but Cabot Greek Yogurt is fabulous!! The vanilla is my favorite, followed by blueberry as a close second. YUM!

    oh, and if you freeze the vanilla (or probably any flavor, but I've so far only tried vanilla) it tastes like yummy icecream....mmmm)

    this picture was from the taste test we did last week when he brought home all the flavors for us to try out:)
