    FAGE is the best! It's the cheapest at Walmart ($5)... I sometimes buy Chobani if it is on sale but it does not taste as good as Fage, it is more tart and sour, while Fage can be enjoyed plain

    I also make my own, in a process similar to lbossingham's, above. The differences in my process are that I hold it at 180F for 20 minutes before letting it cool, and I use a hot water bath inside a cooler to keep it warm while it sets.

    I saw a lot of people talking about straining regular yogurt to make Greek yogurt. What does everyone else do with the acid whey left over from doing that? I usually end up dumping it, but I have had good luck using that liquid as part of a broth for soup.

    Hi there! I have friends who make ricotta a mozzarella with the whey but I haven't. I have plans to make sauerkraut with it this time around. You can find many recipes online. Apparently the most popular is from nourishing traditions.

    I usually pick up a case of Chobani cups at Costco on my US shopping trips, and I'm very happy with it compared to other brands I've tried. If I buy in Canada, I usually get the probiotic President's Choice stuff, but it's very chalky.

    Last time on my US run I bought Dannon Fit and Light instead of Chobani as the former was on a good sale. It tastes so heavily like artificial sweeteners that I doubt I'll ever buy it again, even though I like the calorie to protein ratio.

    I found an Icelandic yogurt called skyr the other day and man was it good. Even thicker and more protein than Greek yogurt and the flavors had a lot less sugar. If you can find it at your local whole foods or similar store I'd recommend trying it.

    I love all the Dannon Light & Fit Greek Yogurts. But the blueberry and vanilla (I add sliced strawberries) flavors are my favorite by far! I also have steered clear of Chobani lately. But their seasonal watermelon flavor is INSANE. I'm a sucker for anyhthing watermelon (:

    I don't care about the recall, I LOVE chiobini with pineapple. It's all I buy.

    And thank you to your hubby for what he does....I appreciate our military and the sacrifices their families make :)

    With that being said, are your also for giving them (especially those that are injured) free healthcare, education (for them and their children to attend college) and housing which will mean paying more in taxes to make sure this happens.

    I am.

    Chobani, nonfat, plain.

    Obviously low sugar and fat content, but I think it's the highest protein content I've seen (and I think it beats out lowfat cottage cheese, too).

    I really like the Fage o% one. I chop up strawberries and mix them in through. Yum. We don't really have alot of proper greek yoghurts here, just alot of Greek STYLE yoghurts, whatever thats all about :ohwell:

    I get a big container of plain Fage.
    I then add some fruits (mostly berries because I like yogurt+something tart), cinnamon, and a little bit of honey.
    Because of the fruit and cinnamon, it's already pretty flavorful and I don't need to add much honey (usually less than 1tsp is sufficient).
    I recommend getting locally made honey. When they're fresh, they have big flavors and I don't need to use much to taste its sweetness. They're definitely more expensive than big name brand ones but totally worth it.

    I do this also... although with the summer fruits the honey is really not necessary. You can also put a dash of vanilla in it if you want to.

    I love Fage and Oikos.

    Noosa is amazing!! But their small containers are typically two servings and they have become incredibly sweet too me. But the yogurt .. amazing!

    Great value Greek Non-fat :
    cal 120
    pro 23 grams

    Add my own fruit and a couple of walnuts or almonds.

    Yup, this. Most bang for your buck, protein-wise.
