    All plain greek yogurts are not in the same ballpark nutrition wise. Fage has 24g of protein/serving while the Greek Gods brand has only 6. I also like the one from Trader Joes. Just be sure to read the labels.

    The greek gods stuff isnt even greek yogurt. Its just regular yogurt that has a thickening agent added to it. That is why you see the big difference in protein.

    Agreed. The label at first glance is misleading calling it "Greek Style" yogurt. It didn't become truly clear to me until I read the nutrition facts. Kind of like the whole grain vs made with whole grain marketing.

    I love Fage. Used to eat Chobani pineapple but got a lumpy one once and couldn't go back. Yet.

    I use Dannon Light and Fit Greek Yogurt for snacks and lunch. I use Fage 0% for sour cream substitute and other applications when I'm at home. Both are low carb and available at Costco. Super cheap! Headin' to Davis Street Costco after work... gotta stock up on my yogurt... Also have to pick up muffins and milk for church activity tomorrow morning.

    All yogurts, even plain, contain lactose which is a natural simple sugar found in all dairy products except cheese that is low glycemic and doesn't spike blood sugar. It is recommended for diabetics.. What you want to avoid is yogurt with ADDED sugar

    was going to post this but now I will just agree
