    Fage is my favorite, but I also like the little Chobani Bites, especially the coffee with chocolate chips, and some of the Flips.

    I absolutely love the Chobani peach yogurt. My second favorite is the apple. If you haven't tried Chobani, you should. I also like their strawberry banana but it contains some fat so I don't eat it often.

    I like any flavor of the 80 calorie dannon light & fit greek! ( I am partial to the vanilla though...I love vanilla anything and you can add berries or whatever you like to it to change it up):happy: Yummy and creamy..not a strange texture like I hear some people talk about with some brands.

    This is my preference for eating too....not so much in my smoothies.

    As for Plain it's great for dips or instead of sour cream

    I like Liberte's greek yogurt (and their plain yogurt). It doesn't have the bitter aftertaste that the Danone Greek yogurt had.

    I like Chobani. The non-fat and low fat are both good. My family goes through about 15-20 a week.

    I was told by naturopath to only eat Kefr. Not sure why, but I do what she says. Maybe she has shares in the Company!! Who knows, but it works!!

    Fage, Fage, Fage, all the way. Take it from me, I'm Greek!

    Like some other posters have mentioned, most of the mainstream brands add thickeners and fillers to get the thickness. Only Chobani and Fage are truly just thicker because the moisture content has been removed.

    And of those two brands, only one of them is actually Greek. Fage is amazing nutrition and flavor and is the most authentic thing on the market.

    By the way, it's pronounced FAH-yay :)

    HOMEMADE! Once you try it it's amazing how grainy and strange store bought yogurts feel. You need one package of plain yogurt as a starter, but other than that you just need milk. I use 1% or 2%. Heat the milk (about 8 cups per 1/2 cup of starter) up to 185 degrees F, let it simmer at 185 for 20-30 minutes, put the pot in an ice bath to cool it down to 110 degrees F, then whisk in the store bought yogurt. Pour into Mason jars and let it sit on the counter for 8-24 hours (the longer it sits, the less lactose will be in it). Then you can either strain it by lining a colander with cheesecloth, add the yogurt and let it strain into a bowl in the fridge (the extra liquid is full of protein and flavor so it's great for cooking rice, pasta, or adding to bread mixes) or eat as is. I freeze about 1/2 cup in a mini jar to use as a starter for my next batch. All in all it takes about 1/2 an hour to make and a day to rest. I make a huge batch about every 2 weeks. And all it costs is some milk. I like it because it reduces waste, I know exactly what's in it, and the benefits are stronger in homemade.

    Noosa is amazing, but pretty high cal.

    Mostly, I try to find something with as few ingredients as possible, like milk and the culturing agents. I eat enough food with additives and artificial sweetners away from home, so I try to keep it clean there!

    I like Taste of Inspirations Nonfat Plain greek yogurt. Very smooth, not sour at all. I add my own fruit and a drip or 2 of honey (less than 1 tsp) Best I ever had.

    Fage is decent, but I prefer Chobani. The peach one is the best.

    I too love fage greek yogurt. I usually add a little honey or fruit as it is a bit on the sour side but the texture is great - not to mention it is packed with protein! I also like the greek gods brand - the honey vanilla flavor is heavenly (though it has too much sugar for me to eat it often).

    What? There's orange?! I haven't seen that one. I haven't found the coconut Flip since the first time I got it, either. I'm bummin'!
