Do you eat Chobani or Oikos Greek and leave the fruit alone?

I don't buy the "fruit on the bottom" type because I think it's gross. The blended ones are super good though... I love coconut, orange cream, cafe latte, and several others. If you're worried about sugar, maybe buy plain and add your own fruit?

I buy Dannon Greek but the light and fit version. Way less calories (80), still 12g of protein and usually only 8 or 9 carbs and 6 or 7g of sugar. I buy the flavor blends or the vanilla and add my own fresh fruit.

Ouch harsh bunch...

Yes, that is the obvious choice. Just to buy the plain but I dont like the plain. If i do the fruit cups I get some of the fruit flavor but not all the sugar since its separated and sitting at the bottom.

I buy the cups for conveinence and dont really care to save the planet. Where I buy yogurt, the individual cups are the same price as the tubs per ouce. I have done my homework on yogurt since its my favorite go to snack/breakfast.

As for cost that is something I watch like a hawk and well I pay about 12.1 cents an ouce for the fruit version and 12.0 cents an ouce for the plain. I eat about 10 ouces a day (netting 24g protein) so I would be saving a wopping 1 cent a day (30 cents a month) and still have to flavor the plain boring yogurt.


Try Dannon Light and Fit greek, esp Lime and also pappya ,intense flavor no fruit
I really enjoy my food and while I dont eat sweets anymore I do watch sugar intake. I eat for healthy living not to cut ever carb. I eat about 150-180 grams of protein a day, fill in the rest with carbs and keep my fats for the most part around 40-50 grams. My pie chart has equal parts carbs and protein and about 20-25 percent fat.

The point was to get what you want in your day and modify modify modify as tony horton says to make it work for you. I do that in my dieting as well but still truely enjoy what I eat.

I just heard they came out with pumpkin flavor, I'm obsessed with all things pumpkin, so I will have to try this one lol.

You better not be kidding right now....

Bleh. How can anyone compare Chobani to Light and Fit is beyond me. Light and Fit is full of artificial crap. Every time I have one I end with that gross aftertaste in my mouth.

Well I guess I am alone on this one. As to the stevia comment. Absolutely. Stevia has changed my life. I dont have to hunger for something sweet anymore, I just mix up a glass of brewed iced tea and add stevia for a sweet fix.

Lol I kinda get it. My hubby likes the black cherry chobani, I try and stay away because I'm lactose intolerant and yogurt is hit or miss sometimes it bothers me other times it doesn't. Anyway sometimes I take one of his yogurts, but for me it's too sweet so I throw out most of the fruit out. Not sure how to count this but I just log the full yogurt. This is not something I do often so I doubt it's really affecting my numbers and I try to over estimate calories and sugar if there's a question.

I just heard they came out with pumpkin flavor, I'm obsessed with all things pumpkin, so I will have to try this one lol.

That is kind of why I started this as well. I am lactose intolerent to whole milk but oikos and chobani doesnt bother me. When I bought a tub of greek gods yogurt it would make me sick. This was trying to mitigate that and what it has turned out to be.

As for the pumpkin. This is the season of all things pumpkin and I just bought a couple cans of pumpkin to make some of my favorite seasonal favorites. love the stuff.

Why not just buy Greek yogurt without the fruit in it?
