Greek Yogurt??

I just tried Fage 0% yogurt. It's wonderful. It's creamy, not runny. I got mine at a Market Fresh Kroger store. I also mixed honey and rasberries in it. YUM! I'm getting hungry, I think I'll get some now.

I get mine from Wal-mart, but i have also seen it at Publix grocery store and others. Dannon Greek is the cheapest I have seen. In my opinion it is creamier than regular yogurt and something about the taste is different that i can't quite put my finger on, but it's a good different. The major reason that i like it better than regular yogurt is because it has less sugar and more protein than the regular. It's definitely worth a taste test.

Greek yogurt is unsweetened, and strained. It is not sweet, and is very thick. I like the individual cups (Fage 2% is sold in most stores) and they come with a flavored mix-in like honey or a fruit flavor. Note, the mix-ins are more corn syrup/fake stuff than actual fruit. It may not be the most decadent thing when you first try, but the sugar, sugar substitutes, and preservatives that make regular yogurt taste like desert, is exactly the stuff you don't want in your body!

It's also a great stand-in for sour cream!

Oh my gosh...it is SO much better than regular yogurt! It is creamier, tastes better and the ingredients are more natural (less processed) Depending on what you get, my fave has been the Brown Cow brand. You'll have to check your local grocery stores or health food stores to see if they carry it. You'll be amazed at the difference! I don't like the taste of regular yogurt - plus there is so much sugar, etc. in it. I wish I knew more information about the differences between the two, but I don't. I'd have to research it further. I just know it TASTES better and the ingredients seem to be more unprocessed.

It's very tasty. This is from someone who hates to eat yogurt. Since my weight loss journey (45.5 lbs.) I have a Greek yogurt at least once a day. I like mine with fresh strawberries or you can buy it with fruit. Faye is the best I have found. Has a taste similar to cottage cheese (which I don't care for either). I also buy Chobani, but it has sugar. You need to try the brands that is right for you. Greek ygurt is suppose to be better than regular yogurt. Check out the ingredients whenever you buy.:flowerforyou:

If you take store brand plain yogurt and for example "Chobani" plain greek yogurt and just read the ingredients. You will see that in greek yogurt just cultured milk and yogurt bacteria. Regular plain yogurt has whole bunch of chemicals in it.:ohwell:

Theres a ton of benefits. I usualy buy Stoneyfeild's Oikos brand since they make the best yogurt...its thicker and doesnt have stabilizers, caregeenan, a ton of sugar or artificial coloring added to it like other yogurt. The best part is you can get plain greek yogurt with little to no fat and use it like sour cream! It almost tastes exactly the same, and would taste great on a baked potato, or as a sauce base for chicken curry or something. Yum!

Ditto the benefits info. I, personally like the Stoneyfeild's Oikos brand since it's organic and comes in super yummy flavors (honey, caramel, blueberry) and I like that it comes in a 4 pack. I also use the plain in smoothies. I have also heard of the plain being used in place of sour cream. I would, but I don't really like sour cream.

Greek yogurt is so thick it was a total shock. I didn't care for it as much but the fact that it is so high in protein and low in calories I decided to get creative with it I use the ff plain as sourcream on a bake potato and I also sometimes add frozen fruit and cinnamon or I use it in a smoothie.

love it I use it instead of cream cheese....I used it to thinken sauces while cooking. I always have it at home
