    Even plain yogurt (including Fage 0%) has sugar -- it's lactose. I'm not bothered by it, but it's there. 0% means no fat.

    Greek yogurt has both protein and sugar (source of its carbs for the most part) plus fat, depending on what kind it is, so can't have 80 calories and 20+ g of sugar.

    Powerful Yogurt (Apple Cinnamon, Blueberry Acai, Banana, Strawberry) 170 cals, 21g protein

    And if I need something with less calories my goto is Dannon Greek Light & Fit for 80 calories and 12ish grams of protein.

    Fage is by far the best but can be pricey. I like chobani or oikos for everyday yogurt.

    Another vote for Dannon light & fit. I try different flavors so it doesn't get boring. But so far my favorite is the strawberry with chocolate on top. It takes like the real thing.

    Liberte mango and white chocolate Greek yogurt (but it does have quite a bit of sugar, so I don't have it often) :)

    Fage blueberry, strawberry or key lime. Stock up when they're on sale for $1

    Trader joes aren't bad either.

    Fage 2% with honey or plain. Don't care about the sugar. Most Chobanis taste weird/not like real greek yogurt and oikos is way too artificial in my opinion.

    I like Dannon Light and Fit Greek yogurt, too. Like just about all the flavors, but Banana Cream is my favorite. All the flavors are 80 calories for the 5.8 oz. container. Bought a 4 pack today.

    The sweetened stuff is either nasty or made with fake sugar or concerning amounts of the real thing. I once compared a few cups of it to a so-called "splurge" and put the better mousetrap in the cart. Cashier probably looked at the rest of my choices and went 'one of these things is not like the others' haha.

    I prefer it homemade or Fage. I do buy plain, but add my own toppings. I can control the calories and taste better this way.

    Siggi! It is not Greek, it is Icelandic. But it is awesome, most favors are lower in sugar, and it is made from skim milk. My fave is coconut, but it is harder to find. I also like vanilla and strawberry and blueberry.

    I also like choboni flips, and the choboni pinapple- but I don't eat the pinnacle off the bottom.

    Tillamook strawberry Greek yogurt is amazing. Chobani was my go to before I found tillamook. It is soo delicious.

    Trader Joe's Honey Greek Yogurt. It's only sweetened with honey...minimal ingredients.

    ^ That's my go-to, but I'm not overly picky. If something's on sale, I'll probably buy it.

    My regional chain grocery store (Hy-Vee) has a store brand that's actually pretty good.

    Chobani is probably my least favorite, but only because it's not as thick and rich as I prefer. But not enough to preclude me from buying it on occasion.

    Tip: Just don't buy the chocolate flavor Oikos. I like every other flavor they make and usually I love chocolate anything, but their chocolate flavor is awful.

    And the caramel one. But it's not just Oikos, those two flavors are just not good yogurt flavors IMO.

    Yoplait Greek 100! A gram more protein than the Chobani 100 cups, same amount of sugar, and taste way better imo. They're the best Greek yogurt I've tried... And that's coming from a long-time Chobani fangirl.

    Another vote for Siggi's! Less sweet but still tasty.

    My splurge yogurt is Chobani Flips Almond Cocoa. Tastes just like an Almond Joy!

    Dannon Light & Fit; most flavors have around 6-7 grams of sugar. Some have more, so you have to read labels. But I think they're delicious.

    I actually like the TJ's Coffeehaus mocha and chocolate yogurts, but those are definitely desserts and not comparable to greek yogurt in macros or especially low cal. But for a quick pudding-like option with a bit more tanginess, I think they are tasty.

    Someone posted about Fage about a week or so ago and now I'm hooked on the stuff! Pricey though.

    I buy Rachel's or Yeo Valley when it's not on sale. Full fat, plain - with powdered peanut butter or sliced apple and cinnamon. My husband likes it with lemon curd.

    I buy Chobani because it's the cheapest at my store that doesn't have unnecessary additives. I buy plain and add fruit because the sweetened yogurts all taste too sweet for me. Fruit adds just the right amount of sweetness.

    HEB brand because it's sweetened with splenda, which I prefer to aspartame, or excess added sugar.

    Do you or any other 80 calorie Dannon eaters get FRUSTRATED that the lid never tears off completely? While I like the 80 calories, I cannot put up with the lid problem as the a way to start the day.

    I like stoneyfield but it's not where i shop
    i used to do yoplait 100 whips because it's like dessert but moved to the dannon 80 because the flavors tasted better
    but i bought fage total for cooking and enjoy it plain with honey or fruit or both or granola, etc

    Chobani apple cinnamon... So good!! I mix a few spoonfuls of benefiber in as well, and it is crazy filling.
