I get the dannon's brand
it may not taste delicious at first. but when you are on a move, and need something quick. perfect for calories, low on carb, and high in protein. and if you really still dont like it. add a little of honey and some fruits and BAM!!! you will notice. its a different feel to it. and not only that. you start to like it and bam!!! you are HOOKED!0 -
I heard great things about it, too, and finally tried it for myself a few months ago. I absolutely LOVE it! I must warn you that the plain flavor is kind of strange tasting if you are expecting the traditional "American" yogurt. It is a lot thicker (which I prefer) and almost has a sour cream taste to it. My favorite brand is the Fage yogurt (you can find it almost everywhere including generic markets and Trader Joe's) and I take them to work for breakfast. My favorite flavor is the 2% with Honey but the other fruit flavors are delicious as well. I like them not only because they taste great but because they pack a lot of Protein and are low in fat. I highly recommend trying it out!0

I tried Chobani and absolutely loved it so I've not tried other brands. I get the plain non-fat, I've tried the ones with fruit but found I didn't like them at all. I do put the plain on fresh fruit though and it's great.
It is thicker and has a much stronger taste.0 -
I eat supermarket's own fat free version with frozen berries, it's lovely!
I also mix it with my tuna.0 -
So it sounds like I am going to get some of this tomorrow (pay day) when I go get my groceries!!
I am worried about the calories though... I am eating Source 35 cals / 100 g yogurt right now and I think it is one of the lowest calorie yogurts.
But I guess I can try this greek yogurt thing - need the protein!0 -
Natural greek yoghurt with fruit is lovely and so very good for you!0

I love Greek yogurt. It's thick kinda like sour cream and has a bit of a tang to it but its not over powering. I love it with mixed berries or sliced banana for breakfast. The brand I buy is 140 cals, 0 fat and 16 gr of protein for 175 grams, you get more per serving and its a thicker yogurt so it fills you up more. I used to eat the 35 cal Source to but I really prefer the Greek yogurt now.
We are a bit limited on brands up here but hopefully soon we will more kinds so I can find one with a bit less sugar.0 -
Agree re: honey yogurt! Over the top delish.0

Once you find a brand and flavor(s) you enjoy, try finding them at a wholesale club. My CostCo store carries Chobani (my favorite); I eat two cups of Greek yogurt a day, as my mid-morning and mid-afternoon snacks, so buying in bulk makes dollars-and-cents!0

If you want to save a LOT of money, buy a quart of store brand of regular plain nonfat yogurt ($1.67 at a discount store). Line a strainer with a paper towel, put it over a bowl, and dump in the yogurt. Let it sit for about an hour, and about one cup of whey will drain off. Then I put it back into the original container. You can sweeten it a bit, if you want - try mixing in a tablespoon of raw sugar or honey. I also like to cook down fruit, like peaches or strawberries, with no added sugar, and mix it into the yogurt.
If you let it drain longer you get a sour cream thickness. Overnight, you get cream cheese.0 -
Is whey bad?0

Fage (2%) and Chobani are my favorite brands. Depending on the flavor, you're looking at a 120-130 calories. Or the honey version of Fage, which is 180 calories. It's one of my main protein sources for breakfast.0

my favorite brand is OIKOS too...I use it instead of sour cream and sometimes instead of mayonaise...i don't really notice that much difference0
