    That is due to the continuous brain washing of people thinking they need to keep away from fat. <SMH>

    To the OP: As others have said, Trader Joe's Whole Foods, most health food stores, etc carry full fat in the larger tubs.

    I love the Trader Joe's cream line, Greek God's plain full fat, Fage full fat and Noosa.

    All of these are yummmy

    I'm sure you are right, but I personally end up usually getting nonfat Greek Yogurt, also, because I generally like to keep most of the foods in my kitchen as significant sources of only 2 macros. It just makes it easier for me to make my macro goals without really tedious balancing of my intake.

    The food sources in my house are also significant sources of 2 macros; fat and protein. I get carbs that I need from fruits and vegetables.

    Fage Total is available at my local grocery store. It's available in a larger container.

    ive not done it but sitting here thinking...what if you just added nuts to it?

    not a bad idea =) I'm trying to create the perfect balanced refrigerator oatmeal for my breakfast! so adding nuts could get me the fat I want =)
    but it is still FF yogurt. the difference is not just the fat content but the creaminess and taste. i found some 4% a while back, oh so heavenly. way better than FF. cottage cheese is the same way. 4% is way better taste and the creamy goodness. but yea, can't find it too often.

    Trader Joe's! Although I still usually go for the 2% because it has more protein, which I've never understood. Why does full fat only have 9g of protein per cup and 2% has 24g??

    Learn to make your own. Yogurt is really easy to make.

    The hardest part of making Greek yogurt is straining the whey.

    Probably because they're the same volume, I'm assuming. The fat does take up some space that would otherwise be filled with protein.

    Whole foods might carry full fat Fage...I've never seen it anywhere else

    Or take regular whole fat yogurt and strain it (gravity filter using a paper towel and strainer) and be amazed that regular whole yogurt loses roughly half of its volume to "change ethnicity" and become "Greek"...I guess that's how most Greeks like yogurt?

    1) Make your own. It's very easy to do.

    2) Buy on Amazon.

    3) Buy fat-free and add fat back. I do this and like to switch up my fat for different flavors and colors ... flaxseed oil, olive oil, palm oil, nuts, etc.

    Whole foods or Fairway I guess. I don't see full fat yogurts at supermarkets unfortunately. You can always try to make your own. Apparently it's not too difficult.

    A gallon of milk makes about 8 cups yogurt after it is strained. This is why the greek kind is so much more expensive than the regular. I go through two gallons of milk a week. I used to feel guilty for pouring all that whey down the drain.

    My understanding is the Greeks like it strained, full fat and topped with honey and walnuts. Sounds yummy, but I've never tried it that way. I usually use 2% milk, but have used full fat before. Both are good.

    I can find a few 2% and full-fat varieties of Fage at larger Giant stores in central Pennsylvania. The one in my town has a very limited selection of Fage and only fat free varieties, but now that I've discovered how amazing 2% and full-fat are, I'm willing to make a special trip!

    If you're in Texas, Sprouts sells Fage Total. I love stirring in my favorite fruit preserves. The full fat version is so rich, it feels like I'm eating dessert!
