Fat-free Greek Yogurt is an abomination

...with apologies to those who like it...but I just can't stand it, it tastes like chalk. Are there any other brands of full-fat Greek yogurt besides The Greek Gods? I can't seem to find any others.

There are, but I still prefer Greek Gods. Recently tried the Dannon - didn't like the consistiency (Greek Gods is thicker), and Trader Joe's - again, a consistency thing. Better than the Dannon, but watery. But I'll keep an eye out for the other brands mentioned here.

When in a pinch and can't find Greek Gods or the store is out, I get plain, full fat regular yogurt and strain it myself (2 coffee filters lined in a collander/strainer, drain over a bowl overnight). Only problem is not knowing how to track it then, lol. And, you'd be surprised at how much liquid comes out of it!!

And, I add some cinnamon and fruit to mine. My 1 year old nephew, a yogurt-fiend, even ate it plain!! He knows what the good stuff is.

I make yogurt from skim milk and eat daily with fresh fruit, cinnamon, walnuts and flax seed meal. I've made greek yogurt but much prefer the regular, and my homemade is tastier than anything I've bought in stores. It is fairly simple to do and I've made a batch or two a week for many years. My favorite yogurt to use as a base culture is produced by Seven Star Farms.

I mostly use plain Greek yogurt as a smoothie base. I love regular flavoured yogurt, but I'm always way under on protein so I've been switching things up to get my protein higher... but plain Greek yogurt I cannot eat on it's own. I put strawberries and blueberries in mine, and mix in a little honey to sweeten it, and it's pretty good that way.

The Kroger brand of fat free Greek yogurt is pretty nice too. Theirs is vanilla flavored and sweetened with stevia though, but still awesome.

*shudder* Sorry, but this is the brand that made me choke. But thanks for the other suggestions.

However, I feel that some folks are trying to get me to eat fat-free greek yogurt. I'm really not interested in fat-free yogurt. I really don't need to be convinced to eat it - just need names and places of brands that sell full-fat versions (and some of you have, thanks!). Sadly, the Kroger I shop at does not have the full-fat version of their yogurt. At my Kroger, there is only ONE full-fat version of Greek yogurt, and that's The Greek Gods.

I should have been more clear about this in the beginning, that's my fault.

Check the Dannon Oikos ones there. The Kroger stores around here carry at least a FEW of the "traditional style" flavors. You have to look for the red band around the top of the container, that's the easiest way to spot the ones with fat as opposed to the fat free versions. Most have at least one or two flavors of the Chobani 2% as well.

I've pretty much given up on Fat free greek--- blech. It may only be in Canada, but the Astro brand full fat greek is to DIE for. Whopping 10%. SOOOO creamy and good! It's 200 calories for 1/2 a cup though, so I save it for days that I'm using up cals at the end of the night. If I need to lighten it, I'll mix a couple tablespoons with most of a serving of Oikos plain 2%, ( or even fat free) and it will maintain the thicker goodness, for the most part. I love the Astro Honey , but hate other brand honey flavors. I don't buy sweetened yogurt-- if I need to add something, I'll throw in a teaspoon of honey myself. ( that said, the Oikos Key Lime is REALLLY good. )

Best way to eat it though? Tiny bit of honey, topped with a few chopped almonds and one chopped square of dark chocolate. I will *actually* lick the bowl.

Oh, and the Liberte brand has the Mediteranee yogurt too-- 7%. Also yummy, but not enough to bump my Astro.

Fage full fat is even more delicious than Greek Gods! (But every full fat yogurt I've ever had was delicious.) Fage 2% is delicious too. I don't think I've tried their nonfat - just not interested in nonfat dairy.

P.S. I only eat it plain, so I can't speak for the sweetened varieties.

For breakfast today, I had apple, banana and pineapple covered in fat free Greek yoghurt with honey drizzled on top. Great way to start the day. Yum Yum!!!!

Can eat it 'raw' if I have to but soooo much nicer with bits added!!

Fage has a full fat option

Really? Where can I find it? The places I've looked have Fage, but it's all 0 or 2% fat or something.

The 4% is the full fat.

Have to say I do like the fat free on its own.
However, I quite often do myself an evening treat with 100g fat free yogurt, 30g blueberries (warmed in the microwave), and half a pot of Hartleys low calorie jelly. If I'm feeling totally decadent I crumble on a mini meringue (15 cal)
It's like an Eton mess and totally delicious.

I often use it as a "spread" or topping.

I will mix it with 2 scoops of my vanilla protein powder, and a touch of cinnamon. I will spread that on my protein pancake ir pour it over bowl of fresh fruit for breakfast....

So good!

double

Chobani.


Enough said


0% fat & tastes closer to sour cream. comes in some awesome flavors as well.

I am in love all over againw ith Greek Yogurt! I used to only like Fage, but have now stumbled upon *cue the rainbow and glitter* Oikos Key Lime Greek Yogurt! Deelish! :bigsmile:

Zoi is the best I've found.
