Greek Yogurt Question

Is the 100g flavoured Oikos yogurt cups really all that great for you?

Or if you really want the greek yogurt to be beneficial do you have to acquire a taste for the plain stuff?

(only other type of greek yogurt I can buy here is Liberté - so please don't say "GET FAGE" lol)

I spruce up the Chobani no fat Greek stuff with granola and honey. It's turned into my ice cream.


That's really hard to admit for a gun toting republican. My wife keeps trying to get a picture of me with the granola package in hand.

You're not taking away from the quality of the great yogurt by not eating plain. The issue is how much added sugar there is.

Go for 2% plain, not fat free. In a compartive 6 oz, the 4 grams of fat is far better, (both tasting and health wise) than the added sugar. Same calories.

^^^^ I call that a carb. It is "better" than traditional yogurt in that it has more protein, but I would not waste the carbs or sugar eating it.

I just buy the 32oz Non-Fat Plain Greek Yogurt and portion it out myself. I usually add a few drops of agave nectar to it to add a touch of sweetness. Agave nectar is extremely sweet so you need very little and has a low glycemic index.

For the plain Fage, here are the nutritional stats per cup (227g):

Calories: 130
Carbs: 9
Protein: 23
Fat: 0
Sugars: 9
Calcium: 25%
