Help me find a new yogurt to try?

jenniferinfl

I'm so tired of trying yogurts that are way too sweet or have a weird chemical taste to them. I used to love Yoplait, but I've been picking up on a weird chemical taste in them. I've tried a couple of the greek yogurts, but, the only one's I've found are the 0% ones and those have tasted gross to me, kind of like an aspartame flavor.

So far I've really liked Brown Cow and Greek Gods, but, neither of those is higher in protein like Greek yogurt. Is there a Greek yogurt that is more similar to those ones? I don't mind higher fat, I prefer yogurt as a treat with more protein than a staple item.

Have you tried mixing in some Jam to the plain ones just to mix up the flavour a bit? Yum Yum.

Dannon Lite and Fit Greek Yogart. Fruit on the bottom. I add berries to them.

I'm a big fan of the Dannon Oikos Greek Yogurt. I especially love the fruit at the bottom or vanilla variety. Good luck!

I like organic yogurts personally. Also, if you get plain yogurt and sweeten it with stevia and fruit, i've found it's even better than the premixed junk that's so full of sugar and that chemical taste. I love using frozen blueberries,strawberries,bananas, ect.

I have never tried those two you mentioned, but I LOVE Fage 2% Greek yogurt. I add fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey and Natures Path Peanut Butter Granola. Yummo!

Don't know where you are at but i only use Kroger carbsmart. High in protein and low in carbs. I love it. But i know Kroger grocery is not everywhere.

My favorite is Voskos Exotic Fig! It's higher calorie, but I mix it with Fage to get the flavor without the excess calories.

Chobani plain is super good c:

Plain yogurts are the best ones (IMO) because you can use them as a base and add whatever you want. Suggestions: honey, berries, granola, protein powder, etc.

I'm obsessed with Chobani yogurt to the point that the check-out people at the grocery store laugh at me because I buy so many at a time (one a day for breakfast and they don't expire for over a month, so why not buy a month at a time when they are on sale!). My favorite flavor is passionfruit -- a little higher in calories but worth it (and more filling because it is the 2% instead of nonfat). It is just sweet enough but not overly sweet. The vanilla flavor is also great, as is plain with a little honey mixed in. None of the flavors are too sweet.

I like Fage 2% Plain the best. Good texture (0% feels to "thin"). I add honey, nuts, and fresh fruit.

If i can't get Fage, Voskos is good, too.

Fage 2% plain Greek. I stir in berries or kiwi, nuts , dark choc. Or ... Stir in peanut or almond butter with chia seeds and dark choc mini chips.

2% much creamier and not as bitter as 0%. However, with nut butter, 0% s ok !

I like Dannon Light and tops brand.I have one every morning before a workout!!

I like Liberté mediterranée. It is full fat, but it tastes really good no after taste or too tart. They have a full range of flavours.

Oikos 2% plain is my staple but I'm thinking of switching to iogo 2% plain because it tastes better.

Ever thought about trying cottage cheese? I switch it up between Danone Oikos yogurt and Western pressed cottage cheese.

But no iogo is very creamy and pleasant with only a gram or two of fat and 16 grams of protein per serving.

Hope it helps.

I like Wallaby Organic Yogurt. It's creamy and comes in a nice variety of flavors.

I love love fage with honey, and yoplait greek is very treat-y too!

MysticRealm

I love Iogo yogurt. 35 calories for about a half a cup. I add a touch of splenda then add frozen raspberries. So good! Not the highest in protein but I usually make or bypass the protein levels MFP sets.

Healthy Choice frozen greek yogurt!

NRBreit

Fage Greek Yogurt Plain 0% or 2%. I like it plain but it's great mixed with fresh fruit (strawberries, melon, blueberries, etc.), dried fruit such as dates, chopped nuts, or vanilla/chocolate protein powder. I eat it pretty much every day as my after dinner snack.

Make your own from organic whole milk. (Once you get the method down, you can use reduced fat milk.)

Get some "real" plain yogurt (nothing in it but cultures and milk). We usually use Nancy's at our house.

Buy whole milk, maybe just a quart, for your first batch.

Eat all but about half a cup of the yogurt.

Heat the milk up gently to 180 degrees.

Cool it to 110 or room temperature (so that you don't have to babysit it).

Mix a little of the cooled milk into your yogurt to make it more liquid.

Pour all the milk and yogurt into a container (preferably glass) with a lid. Mix it together a little if you like.

Leave the container in your oven overnight with the light turned on to keep it warm.

In the morning, put the mixture into your refrigerator. It should firm up as it cools. Add whatever you like to it: some vanilla, some preserves, a little orange juice, or just eat it plain.

Now, if you want "greek yogurt," just put a cup or so of the yogurt into a strainer lined with cheesecloth or a paper coffee filter over a bowl. (There are also little strainers made for exactly this purpose.) Let it drain for a day or two. The longer it sits, the firmer it will get. You can add the whey to other dishes (I put it into my cereal with my soymilk and some yogurt). As it gets really firm, it makes great "yogurt cheese." I can rarely wait that long though, because this yogurt is so tasty.

Just make your own. It's very simple to do. Lots of youtube videos on it. I make my own greek yogurt. Try sweetening it with honey, or maple syrup. I add frozen bluberries to mine sometimes.

PM if you have questions

Good luck

Dannon Lite and Fit is the best! I don't love other greek yogurts, but I eat one of these almost every day. I usually add a little granola, but they're heaven without it, too.

I love the Vanilla and the Black Cherry.

I love Chobani Greek yogurt. It's high in protein. The passion fruit one is my favorite, but I also like the pomegranate, peach, or plain with a little honey mixed in (about 1t).

Personally...I like Publix supermarket brand the light yogurts are very good!

belgerian

Fage 0 or 2 percent plain. Like the 2 better but it is not always available. I mix it with my steel cuts. Also use it for dipping my fruits, apple, bannanna or raspberries.

jennfranklin

I put fresh fruit, honey, nuts, flaxseed in my plain greek yogurt! It is yummy!
