Activia Greek Yogurt is GARBAGE

Costco sells plain Fage 0% in a 4 cup container for $5. It's much more economical than $1.25 or $1.50 for 6 ounces.Sounds like Fage 2% is what you want... And they are delicious
and from cows not given rbgh!
Yes, all that! And soooooooo expensive! :-(0 -
Lol...I hear you! I am not a fan of the Dannon or Yoplait version of Greek yogurt....
Chobani All Day ^_^0 -
I like Oikos Greek yogurt as well. I prefer it with fresh pineapple slices or some strawberry slices. Yum!
And I resent the Acitivia commercials. They try so hard to make it look healthy...but it's an epic fail when you read the label.0 -
Dannon also makes LIGHT AND FIT GREEK YOGURT ONLY 80 CALORIES It has most of the benefits of Activia and very low in sugar0

Fage is the best!!! This coming from a girl who REFUSED to eat yogurt. It's the only kind I will eat, and I feel rather lost when I don't/cant have it. Case in point: Went to DC for a vacation, so I had a whole week w/o my beloved Fage... I was an unhappy girl, and my tummy was even more unhappy.0

It's not terrible either. Which is as good as yogurt gets. LOL0 -
I love my Chobani, but I thought I'd buy ONE new Activia Greek yogurt for giggles...ahem....other than the fact that it has 190 calories in it....it has TWENTY NINE GRAMS OF SUGAR! 34 GRAMS OF CARBS! What??????????? Pass this one by folks. Dannon should be ashamed!
This, and it doesn't really taste like Greek yogurt. It's not as good as the real thing! Although I do like chobani.0 -

You're never going to succeed at getting diabetes with an attitude like that.0

I stick with Fage or Chobani. Every other brand pales in comparison! Chobani 2% is far superior to their 0%, IMHO. Better flavors, plus it's creamier, and the calorie difference is usually ~20/cup, plus I think the extra fat is good sometimes.0

Have you tried mixing fat free and full fat together and making your own? Fage has their 0% fat version, which I prefer, but also a 2% fat version.One thing that does drive me crazy with yogurt in general - it's almost always either full fat or fat free! Per my dietitian, I need to always have some fat in my meals and snacks. One snack I do like is a yogurt, but there is almost no middle ground on the fat, and so few flavors that I like that are in that low fat category when I can find it. Rawr!
With Greek yogurt, it seems to be 0% or 2%, but with regular it's either non-fat (or close to it) or full-fat, which is hard to find in single servings. When my son was a baby, I had the hardest time finding good full-fat yogurt without buying some special brand marketed for babies (read: $$).0 -
Also, for probiotic purposes, you all should check out kefir, which is like drinkable yogurt but with more probiotics. I prefer Lifeway.0

I like full fat Fage or Greek Gods. I bought Trader Joe's full fat cream line yogurt this past week and is good also if you have a trader joe's around you.0

Yup...Activia and Yoplait both tend to be higher than other yogurts with the sugar grams. If you really like yogurt, look for a plain yogurt (less sugar) and make sure it has at least 3-4 cultures (that makes for a healthy yogurt). You can always add your own fruit to flavor it or go for the granola, its higher in fat (not the bad fat, also higher in protein and fiber). Definitely makes for a healthier choice in food 0

If you think Dannon should be ashamed, be sure to take a second look at Kashi ...can we say false advertising?0

Can you tell me what the difference is between the greek yogurts, and the regular yoplait yogurt? I haven't ate much lately, but really should.
Greek yogurt is strained twice. It is the same yogurt but by straining an extra time it has less water in it. Less water leaves the same amount with higher protein level.
I make wonderful Greek yogurt simply by straining the grocery-store brand plain fat free yogurt -- which has no thickeners or any other extra ingredients. I just dump it in a screen strainer and put it in the fridge for several hours. I get the same amount of Greek yogurt as a $3.79 container of Fage for $2.39 and the whey is great for making bread.

Fage is sooo cheap. Like $1.25 per.0 -
Anything Activia gives me unbearable stomach cramps! Shame, their 'creamy' dessert yoghurts are rather delicious.0

But it's delicious!0

i love love LOVE Oikos PLAIN greek yogurt! Only 80calories, 6g of sugar, and 7g of carbs (I think, either way it's very low) and high on protein! I don't advise getting any brand of yogurt with fruit already in it because they all have tons of sugar. I'd just stick my own fruit in my yogurt!0
