    I buy the Dannon brand of yogurt for a boost of protein and carbs after my workouts. SO tasty.

    You know you can make your own greek yogurt?? Just buy a big one of plain regular yogurt. Get a round bowl-shaped strainer and put a couple coffee filters in it. Dump the plain yogurt in, set it over a bowl, cover and stick in the fridge overnight. In the morn, you will have Greek Yogurt! All it is is yogurt with most of the liquid removed!! I do this a lot and it is so much cheaper!

    I love to stick either blueberry or cherry in the freezer right before I pull out dinner.. then it's frozen just soft for desert after an hour or so.. nice

    I haven't tried flavored greek yogurt. But I like Fage more than Chobani, it's even thicker.

    What is the sugar content in the flavored Greek yogurt? I usually just by the plain 0% fat and add my own fresh fruit. I love tracking it to work for lunch!

    regularly eat 900g tub at once. I normally mix in some protein powder and make a sludge with plain flavoured yoghurt.
    I never thought about adding protein powder, great idea to help boost calorie intake and extra protein! Whats kind if protein powder do you use?

    I only found the plain flavour in Australia :( The flavoured ones are in little containers.

    Fage full-fat owns them all.

    Side note: Im making crock pot buffalo chicken tonight and was thinking about doing a homemade ranch dip/spread/whatever to put on the sandwiches. The recipe I looked up called for plain greek yogurt, hence my trip to the grocery.

    Yay Yogurt! But I want to know how this turned out....

    Blood orange, pineapple, and pomegranate are my favorites.

    Our local store brand (Harris Teeter) is pretty good as well.

    I don't mean to be a downer on the yogurt but I rather use plain fat free greek yogurt and add my own extra's. My favorite right now is either fresh strawberries or frozen unsweetened blueberries, fat free plain greek yogurt and some sliced raw almonds. I also like natural peanut butter, sweeter of your choice and yogurt.

    I prefer to use the natural and add my own fruit too :-)

    To each their own on flavors. I personally like the Chobani black cherry the best. Fage plain, non-fat with some honey is great too.

    Look at the ingredients of the Dannon "greek" and some of the store brands. Some of them use corn starch as a thickener to approximate greek yogurt. If you like the taste of them, no problem, but I personally like the real stuff.

    I buy the plain, zero fat, and add fresh fruit, unsweetened coconut flakes, flaxseed, a little granola, Tajin, and started adding a little protein powder becuse I am not getting enough protein according to my Dr. Mix it all together and it's breakfast heaven. I also use in place of sour cream and add to a lot of sauces. Also it's my secret ingredient in guacamole. Well one of them anyway. Oh and I buy Fage, I like it the best.

    if you think chobani is amazing....try fage!!! it is by far more supreme...it's creamier and doesn't leave the slight aftertaste that chobani does....(plain and flavored) that and fage has a seperate compartment to the fruit so you control how much sugar you consume...I never eat all the fruit mixing!

    I thought the dannon greek yogurt was okay, but I'm sitting here eating Chobani Peach Greek Yogurt.. This stuff.. is amazing. Thick, creamy, and overall perfect. I'd seen people recommend it on here and I grabbed some different flavors at the store this morning. You also can't beat the numbers. 140 calories, 14 grams of protein... I'm in heaven.

    Do they make it in a plain version? Not into sugar.

    Yep! I bought a big tub of the plain yogurt to make ranch dip and to put in my protein shakes.

    Ahmazing. I tried to put it on a sandwich with the ranch spread and lettuce, but it absolutely fell apart with all the buffalo sauce goodness. However, that didn't stop me from eating it. :)

    I LOVE the pineapple flavor. I put a little coconut in it and BAM! Instant pina colada fix! :)

    I bought a plain fat free tub and plan on trying it with different frozen fruits I have on hand. Thanks for the suggestion about the natural pb, though! I wouldn't have thought to put that in with the yogurt.

    The next time I'm at Walmart I'll look for Fage.. I love trying new things! Our local Kroger didn't have it, or else I would have picked some up to do a taste test comparison.

    Use Chobani plain 0% mixed with cucumber, mint and garlic as a sandwich. BETTER THAN ANY CHEESE OR MAYO OR DRESSING. I promise.

    I use to only eat Chobani but now im hooked on Fage but only buy it when its on sale. Here it $1.89 a cup but its been on sale for $1.00 so I been stocking up on it :) I use to buy the honey flavor but now I just buy the plain and add my own Tbsp of honey.
    Yummy stuff

    plain fat free Greek yogurt + chocolate protein powder = chocolate mousse HEAVEN!!!

    I also like to add strawberries or blueberries to it.

    The protein powder eliminates any tanginess or bitterness that you might have otherwise noticed, and it's very low sugar and nearly fat free (which depends on your protein powder of choice).

    One of my friends added Nutella to it one time. I will do that soon, cause it sounds awesome.

    My problem with that brand is I can't find any full fat versions. It is all the low fat or non fat stuff and I personally prefer full fat over the other kind. So I stick with brands like Greek Gods.

    I use half the fruit for the yogurt and the other half I mix in oatmeal.

    I just bought a case of it this weekend at Costco, 15 in the case for $13 and some change.

    i subscribe to a fitness blog & the author is always raving about choboni. the greek yogurt i eat is only 80 cals so I've been hesitant to switch to something that is nearly double the cals. but I'm guessing I need to =)

    They had that brand at Kroger.. Do you recommend I try it as well? I'm not scared of fat or anything, so I'm more than willing to try new things!
