    Has anyone ever tried making their own? I've done this a couple of times using the Melissa D'Arabian recipe and while it's not as low in fat or as thick as storebought (even strained through a yogurt strainer) I find the flavor very mild and it's very filling with some fruit and/or granola mixed in.

    Vanilla Greek yogurt is my favorite. Don't like the plain ones.

    Oikos was ok (even the triple zero) and Chaboni sucks IMO.. I much prefer Dannon Light n Fit.

    I've never tried this before, just saw it announced for my country today actually, but it also looks pretty good.
    Sweetened with sugar. Very low fat and more protein.

    ETA: natural variatie is not sweetened, only their flavored varieties.

    Damn. I've never seen this brand before. I've been buying TZ, myself.

    It's a Danish brand which they sell in Europe, don't know if it's sold in the US.

    I second the Skyr yoghurt, I bought lots of it back when I noticed it half price at tesco xD then I looked at the macros and was like WHUUT o,O they have strawberry flavour , and a honey flavour (the honey one is a bit weird, but strawberry is alright :3 )

    Yes. In my family we make our own (using Fage 2% as a starter.) However, ours is low fat as we use 1% milk and add dry milk.

    absolutely not- this is one of those things that falls squarely into the "way to much effing work for me" category.

    When I've made yogurt I put the starter in mason jars with the milk and one jar of boiling water in my cooler. Nice warm, moist, stable environment. And pretty maintenance free. Not like making cheese.

    I can only eat regular yogurt. I can't eat any greek yogurt and I have no idea why. I just don't like it.

    I thought about it, but decided to keep buying the Greek deli's homemade version. They do it so good and it's only $5 for a gigantic tub.

    Agree about skyr it is amazing. It is just ridiculously expensive everywhere I see it.

    Fage is hands down the best to my taste. I prefer the full fat version most.

    ^ This. I'll take 5g less protein for 6g less carbs any day. I never have a problem hitting my protein macro anyway. I don't really care about artificial sweeteners AND L&F comes in a ton of amazing flavors. I've never seen the Triple Zero yogurt in my local grocery store, now that I think of it.

    Triple zero only came out a few months ago. I was not impressed.
