    I like Zoi honey-flavored Greek yogurt, too. It's a local western Washington brand, so I don't know if it's widely available. Greek God's is good.

    I enjoy Athenos and Fage.

    There are just some things you can't buy store brand for.

    The best bet is to stick to the brand/companies that specialize in that. Dannon and Yoplait aren't greek manufacturer's.

    i've never tried anything other than the Dannon and Yoplait - the "good" brands are sometimes half again more expensive, and i just don't have the heart to try them, knowing i'll probably like them better. i usually mix mine with agave, granola, and/or fruit anyway, so it doesn't matter as much to me that they're not as "high quality" as some of the others.

    is it sheepy?
    I cant handle sheep or goat milk stuff.

    you can get greek style, which is just creamier cows milk yoghurt, might be better.

    I always thought greek yoghurt was super fattty though, no?

    Zoi is my favorite too! The Honey flavored one is AWESOME.

    I also make homemade blueberry compote if my grocery store only has the plain Zoi, and that makes it super yum!!!

    I have also MADE my own greek yogurt (all it is, is strained yogurt - has a thicker consistency). Although I would say, only do that with plain and not flavored yogurt. I strained some vanilla flavored and it had a weird taste afterwards - the consistency was great, but the taste - blech :( . I strained another batch of yogurt (plain) and it was great.

    I also found a recipe to make my own yogurt in the crockpot, one day I will try it out. ;)

    I like the Fage and Athenos brands with Honey....the fruit kinds have more sugar than fruit for me.

    I tried the Chobani peach, ehhhh, not thrilled.... Honestly the best so far has been the Dannon strawberry flavored one w/fruit on the bottom, throw in some low fat granola or Kashi and I am good...

    Fage, Cabot, or Vosko's plain, full fat.

    I add a bit of pumpkin and stevia to them. Very good.

    I have 2 choices here ... PC and Liberté, both 0% fat. (I wish I could get the higher fat) I'd been eating the Liberté and then PC came out with theirs and it was much cheaper so I bought a tub. It tasted like someone had poured a salt shaker in to it. Then I read the label ... almost 3 x as much sodium. Yuck. It was deliciously thick though so if they ever come out with a lower sodium version I'd probably try it again.
    Thankfully, Costco now carries Liberté at a much lower price than the grocery store.

    oh i didn't realize it was a local brand! i love things native to western washington <33

    anyway, I usually get the full fat version and only eat 1/2 a cup at a time. i usually don't go over my fat for the day anyhow, and it helps keep you full. it also helps the flavor a lot i think, though i haven't tried the reduced fat. i usually just get plain, but maybe i'll get honey next :D

    The Zoi honey is DIVINE!!!! It's hard for me to only have 1/2 a cup. LMAO!!! The plain non-fat is pretty tart, but I do use it for cooking and it is a great substitute for sour cream. I have sweetened the plain non-fat w/ splenda or stevia and added some blueberry compote and it was great!

    Fage (2%) and Chaboni are the only ones I like, and I either have to get plain and add fruit or the ones with fruit. I did not like the the one with honey at all.

    I accidentally grabbed the Safeway brand honey flavor Greek yogurt. I don't know what was Greek about it. It was watery, and had a terrible flavor. Avoid this one, everyone!

    Have a great day!!

    While I generally *love* Chobani, I totally hated the Honey-flavored Chobani. It was too bitter and just tasted like plain yogurt which I'm not a fan of. I like some fruit and/or granola in it to liven it up a little.

    Liberté is my choice. I eat a lot of it. I found a few full fat ones at the local Foodland, but I don't want the fat. I am eating it for the protein. If I want fat it will be from something with high Omega 3s.

    I really like Skyr! It's traditional Icelandic yogurt but nutritionally very similar to Greek yogurt- tons of protein. I can unfortunately only find it in Whole Foods but it is delicious!

    Do give up try some of the brands people suggested. My first try was Yoplait and it was just nasty, I'm glad I didn't give up. My husband tried one bite of his and threw it away. I ended up in a neighboring town with a bigger grocery store and pretty much got one of each of the brands of Greek yogurt they had. Like may others I like the Chobani , Oikos and Fage. The Greek Gods was okay but for 240 calories it's not that good, I'll stick with the others.
