greek yogurt???

MichelleWagner50

I tried Stonyfield plain, no fat yogurt today. YUCK!! It left a nasty after taste in my mouth. I mixed some granola with it which helped the taste, but did not like the after taste.
Are there any good tasting greek yogurts out there??? I want eat more healthy.....great protein!!

Try Fage greek yogurt 0%. I eat this everyday and love it. I do put some walnuts and dried blueberries it in.

Did you try Oikos Greek Yogurt? I know it's made by Stoneyfield. I love it with honey or fruit. More expensive, but worth it!

You could always try adding a little bit of agave nectar to it (similar to honey) to help with the taste.

I love greek yogurt. I bought 2% fage, plain and I put my own Honey and blackstrap molasses.

You have to sweeten it or it tastes like sour cream. I add a packet of Truvia or some honey. Then I add fruit/granola.

My favorite greek yogurt is Chobani.

Trader Joe's carries a fantastic Greek Yogurt -- their store brand. Regular, low-fat or fat-free. Yummy, and cheaper than all others.

My favorite is "Chobani". :smooched: Here is the thing though. It is sooooo good I won't even read the nutrition label.:devil: Sorry to be so bad. I do only eat half of the single serving container at a time though. I hope that gets me some points here.:embarassed:

Mmmmmm. yogurt.

I like Kefir plain, which is a drinkable yogurt.

Just in case, I would say always avoid any low or no fat foods, especially in dairy, because it just increases simple sugar intake.

This is the one I tried. It had an awful after taste, but wasn't bad while eating it.


Thanks for all the other responses!! I will try Kefir cause I have seen it at my local store. I will also try sweetening it next time first before adding the granola. :-)

This one only has 2 grams of sugar....it is actually really good for you. I just didn't like the taste

FAGE

Definitely has to be Fage Total 0% for me. I add a packet of splenda, but sometimes I add a 1/4 cup of frozen blueberries or a teaspoon of sugar-free apricot jam. I like it wish agave nectar also, but it waters it down a bit. I just finished a 6 oz serving with splenda and a 1/4 cup of Fiber One original cereal in it for my afternoon snack.

I have tried Oikos and the trader joe's brands. I do not like any of the flavors at all. They have a weird aftertaste. And none of them are as thick as Fage. The Trader Joe's in my neighborhood sells Fage also, and it is the cheapest place I've found it so far. (about $1.69 for a 6oz cup).

I love Greek Gods yogurt, especially the honey flavor. They also make a fig and a pomegranate flavor. It's made in Seattle and I'm not sure how widely available it is. It's really good with fruit and a little bit of granola. I also use it in cooking quite a bit, both the nonfat and the full fat. I use it in place of mayonnaise in tuna and smoked salmon salad and in place of sour cream in Mexican dishes.

CHOBANI!!! The blueberry is my favorite. Even my friend who doesn't care for yogurt loves it.

I wasn't aware that Stonyfield was Greek yogurt. What is greek yogurt? I'm allergic to dairy products and it would seem that greek would not be cow's milk? But I have the same allergic reaction as I do with regular yogurt. But I like the banana one. Sometimes it's just worth it.

Stonyfield makes a Greek yogurt called Oikos. It's made from cow's milk It's basically strained unsweetened regular yogurt....

I love Stoneyfield's greek yogurt! Of course you're not going to like it plain unless you're used to it -- do you eat plain regular yogurt? Same thing. I've tried the honey, blueberry, and vanilla kinds and I love them all. I've also had the strawberry & blueberry brown cow greek yogurt. But guess what -- greek yogurt is pretty much greek yogurt. Changing brands doesn't really change the taste.

Try chobani if you get the plain, add some sugar free jam...yum

I love Fage 2% Total yogurt, but it's pricier ($1.79 each!). Oikos 0% has a 4 pack at Wal*mart for under $4.

I just found that Yoplait makes a Greek yogurt too! They started selling it at Meijer. It's called Yoplait Greek 2X protein and it comes in plain, strawberry, and blueberry for $.99 each.

Try adding some fruit or granola to it. It's not sweet like most people are used to yogurt.

Or try regular plain yogurt. Dannon makes a good nonfat or lowfat, or Meijer or Kroger brand plain yogurts are good also and still higher in protein and lower in sugar than the sweetened kind.

I like Chobani 0. I just don't like the vanilla one
