...and it is delicious!! Granted, it's strawberry Chobani which is probably a far cry from the authentic stuff but I thought I'd try a tamer version first. I tasted it before mixing in the strawberries and it's really good just plain too. It tasted like a combination of ice cream and cream cheese! Yum.

I want to get more protein in my diet and it seems like everyone recommends this stuff. I have wanted to try it but was nervous because I don't like regular yogurt that much and heard Greek yogurt is an acquired taste. I must have acquired it haha. Anyway just wanted to share my latest food adventure. Thanks MFP for giving me that little push to try something different!

    that is a good yogurt, but if you want to really have your socks knocked off -- try Greek Gods Honey flavor (it's named Hermes). HOLY SMOKES that stuff is like crack to me. (the honey vanilla is not the same and not as good). try it!!

    I use it in place of so many things, ok, one thing, sour cream, I make my dips with it, on my potatoes, with a dash of honey as dessert, in meals as cream.

    I use the plain Greek to stretch cheese farther on less calories. It's also great as a sour cream substitute.

    FAGE' IS MY #1 GREEK YOGURT...BUT HONESTLY WATCH THE SUGAR IN THE FLAVORED YOGURTS...THEY CAN BE KIND OF HIGH!

    Fage 0% is great because it isn't full of artificial sweeteners or anything. Great way to get protein with your breakfast!

    These days my go-to is Fage Total 0 plain, nonfat. It's lacking the sweetness, but I'm digging it...

    But let me tell ya... Liberte yogurt is really good stuff, the lemon & coconut are probably my all time 2 faves. Great stuff!! Also, Chobani apple cinnamon is good too.

    Same here - it replaces sour cream perfectly. I add seasoings to make a veggie dip. It's the best thing since sliced bread :happy:

    I have heard this is actually easy to make and am intrigued. Do you have a recipe on how to try?



    I have been using fage 2% (sometimes 0% but honestly, it's fine but not nearly as good as w/a little fat). I hate all the little yogurt containers and recycling them.

    Oh and I saw that a lot of people like the honey flavor--this is so expensive! buy the plain and buy some local honey and use a little of that...much less expensive. Or maple syrup. My favorite combo is the plain 2% w/a little maple syrup and sunflower seeds and wyman's frozen blueberries (or fresh berries if you have them). Quite the treat.

    This sounds great! I'm going to try it :)

    I love Greek Yogurt, but keep in mind that the flavored Chobani varieties have added sugar. Yes, "evaporated cane juice" is sugar.

    I like Fage the best, but Chobani is much less expensive. I only buy the "Plain" no-fat Greek Yogurt in the quart sized though.
