Flavored greek yogurt without a ton of sugar?

Is there such thing? I've been buying the big containers of fage and adding fruit, but it's not always handy and it's so much more convenient to just grab a 100 calories cup or whatnot... I noticed that I just ate more yogurt as a snack when I can do that, instead of measuring everything.

I got the yoplait greek kind, but I realize it's not really greek yogurt. They only have 14g or so of carbs though, which isn't too bad, compared to the 19g or something I saw on the chobani containers... Is there anything else out there?

    Why not grab individual containers of the plain and bag up a handful of berries to stir in or some honey?

    Make your own.
    I flavor mine with a little bit of protein powder and berries.

    I "dispense" my yogurt into individual Rubbermaid containers with screw top lids and add some fruit spread (25 calories/TBL) at the bottom (so dumped in container first). You can do this one at a time or set up 4-5 containers at once, so they're easy to grab.

    I strayed from Fage. They were sold out in the supermarket so I got a nice hefty tub of something that had about the same nutritional value on the side.

    Long story short, now I know why the Cult of Fage exists. This stuff and strawberries is pretty grim. It's watery and sour and keeps separating. I dunno, is it separating? It's something. It's evolving. It's not bad for me but it is not pleasant. And I have like a litre of the stuff to get through. UGHHHH

    Another vote for Fage + fruit puree/ chopped fruit.

    I buy the Fage with the fruit separated out. I think it only comes that way. And I don't dump all the fruit into the yogurt. I dip my spoon into the fruit and then into the yogurt. I try to only use only half the fruit sauce. This cuts the sugar down. It is the same principle as salad dressing on the side and dipping your fork into it rather than use it all on the salad.

    You might be able to use some of that liter up adding it to other foods - gravy, curry sauce or something along that line. I know what you mean about Fage versus the "others". Fage has a consistent mild flavor and consistency/mouth feel of good sour cream. It will separate some - that is the nature of "real" cultured milk products (where no stabilizers are used to keep it uniformly "solid")
