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 also love the Dannon nonfat and lowfat. I drain the water from it overnight. I'll bet that makes mine taste different. Definitely creamier... I add fresh blueberries and cheerios or fresh blueberries, almond slivers, and cinnamon for a yummy snack.0 -
I use Greek Yogurt to make Tzatziki. Which for those that aren't familiar it's the creamy cucumber/dill sauce that you get on a traditional Gyro.
Start with 1 pint Greek-style yogurt, 2 cloves garlic, 1/2 medium cucumber, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, and 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil. dill or mint can also be added, I personally prefer dill.
Peel and seed the cucumber, then shred it and squeeze out any excess water.
Peel and put the garlic through a press, pulverize it , dice it with a knife, however you prefer.
Mix garlic and cucumber with olive oil and vinegar then mix with the yogurt. Add fresh dill to taste.
You should let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours for the flavors to meld for the best results.0 -
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.

I really like Fage 0% Greek yogurt. I also found the Yoplait Greek yogurt at Meijer. It was okay, not as thick as Fage. I also found Dannon Greek Yogurt. I really liked that one, and it was very similar to Fage or Chobani.0 -
I started buying Astro Balkan style, which is basically the same think but has a little less tang.0

I decided to give FAGE a go since so many people speak highly of it. I just looked at the label as I sat down to eat some for my afternoon snack and realized it has 3 FEWER yogurt cultures than the Stoneyfield Oikos I have been getting. I think this accounts for the aftertaste of OIKOS and I'll probably continue to buy it instead. I'm enjoying the flavor of the FAGE but I personally feel the OIKOS has better ingredients and with 5 cultures vs. 2, I think that tips the scale for me in favor of OIKOS. It may also have something to do with the fact that I buy 0% OIKOS and this is 2% FAGE. I'll probably buy plain FAGE in the future (I think I'm going to replace sour cream with it -- it really is very good) & flavored OIKOS. I also bought Chobani to try. Thanks for the thread & the recommendations.0

You might also like Brown Cow greek style. They also have 5 cultures. Although I did just buy the Okios chocolate...can't wait to try it. Yum.0 -

I tried Brown Cow and did like it. I mean... I love it all. :laugh: I'm just trying to find the one I love the *most.*0 -
Oikos CHOCOLATE?!?! wahhhhhh0
-
I have tried Oikos, brown cow and a host of other yogurts.
The only ones I like are Mountain High Yoghurt and Fage Greek Yogurt sweetened with fresh fruit only.0 -
I'm with you. I've tried a couple different brands and it tastes awful to me!!0
-
:happy: Thanks for all the input everyone!! I am going to try a couple different brands and maybe see if I can find Oikos chocolate flavored. Maybe I will like that better0

Oikos CHOCOLATE?!?! wahhhhhh
Yep...it's in a 4-pack...they also have a caramel out.0 -

I had a coupon so I tried the Oikos w/ Caramel and it was ok. I prefer it plain and adding in my own fruit.0 -
I really like Fage. It's so creamy and delicious. If you need to sweeten it up a bit to your taste, add just a touch of honey or some fresh or frozen fruit. Then it's healthy snack...filling and delicious0

Must agree...I just had it today as one of my snacks...it just wasn't as creamy as the others. Oh well, it was worth a try.0 -

It is my favorite also............
Also, Mountain High Yoghurt is just as good as Fage. It is thick just like Fage and a bit cheaper.0 -
Trader Joe's carries a fantastic Greek Yogurt -- their store brand. Regular, low-fat or fat-free. Yummy, and cheaper than all others.
Totally agree with this post. I mix mine with raspberries and blueberries and Kashi nuggets. YUM!0
