Chobani Yogurts

I recently stopped buying the flavored chobani when I realized how high sugar it was. Even the "chobani champions" (for kids) was high sugar for the smaller serving size. I'll sometimes put a dollop of the plain on fresh fruit, which is great in its own way, but it doesn't have that "take it with you, ready made, convenient" thing that pre-flavored yogurts have.

then, just today I found this: Siggi's Icelandic Style Skyr yogurt. It's got that same super thick style as greek yogurt but MUCH less added sugar. The sugar they do add is agave which they claim has a lower glycemic index, though I'm not informed enough about that to judge. Even if "sugar is sugar" the amount is significantly lower. It's definitely not as sweet, and the blueberry I tried didn't have any fruit chunks, but for the calories and sugar saved, it's worth it.

Thanks for the info. I had never seen that brand, I'll have to look for it. Medically I have to keep my carb counts down but love yogurt & sometimes need a change from plain Greek yogurt.
