    I really like Siggi's Icelandic yogurt. Low calories, high protein.

    Because I'm on a budget, I buy Greek yogurt at Aldi's. It tastes pretty good, and it costs a fraction of the other brands.

    If you find the taste too sugary, buy the plain and add jam/fruit spread/honey to it.

    The "best yogurt" for you may not be the best yogurt for someone else. Just choose one that you like, that fits in your calorie goal and that meets your nutritional requirements. For example, I love full fat yogurt and have no problem fitting those extra calories into my day, so that's what I typically eat. If it's harder for you fit in those extra calories, go for a lower fat option.

    I was a die hard Greek yogurt fan till I tried Siggi's Icelandic yogurt. It's low sugar, it's high protein like Greek yogurt, but to me it's much creamier and less tart tasting than Greek.

    Target had this on sale this week - $1.00!

    I bought a couple to try - strawberry rhubarb. Should be interesting.

    I have been eating yoplait yogurts but feel like they have too much sugar. Would dannon whole yogurt be okay? Or is 0% 2% greek yogurt the healthiest choice?

    If you like those yogurts, the eat them. Greek yogurts have more protein, so I'd naturally go for the Greek yogurt versions (I LOVE strawberry!). Unless you have a medical condition that requires one to track sugar, the you do not need to worry about sugar. Calories are what counts for weight loss.

    This isn't necessarily "the best," but I like it: Great Value Light Vanilla Greek Yogurt.

    I haven't had it in a while, so I don't remember the values off the top of my head, but it's something like 120-130 Calories and 18-20 g protein.

    This is what I am currently eating. I will eat any greek yogurt, almost, but I like the plain greek yogurt, because I can eat more for less calories and it is cheaper than buying the premixed varities IMO. I also like that I can add my own fruit or granola in.

    I alternate between whole milk and 0% plain Greek yogurt, depending how many calories i have left. I cant eat it plain though, it makes my face hurt from all the contorting lol
    I buy a 1 kg tub of the plain kind, and add peanut butter or maple 0 calorie flavour drops into the whole tub, until i get it to taste how i want.

    Love Siggis! I loathe Greek yogurt, personally. I get the multi pack of 4 oz Noosa from Costco and use it as my dessert. Mmmmm

    Has anyone tried sheep yogurt? I can't do dairy and this was suggested to me bc of protein content. I do have to watch sugar content. Trader Joe's is a pretty good hike for me and I don't really want to drive there if it's not worth it or tastes nasty.

    I'm so jealous you can get flavoured Quark. I can only get the regular old plain kind here, and it tastes terrible!

    I love it. I usually get the strawberry, haven't tried the blueberry yet. and the lemon is good too. My daughter liked the caramel but I haven't tried that either.

    I love the plain non-fat Chobani Greek yogurt. I add a packet of Truvia and a big handful raspberries or blueberries. Great for protein, fiber and not all of the sugar added to sweetened yogurts.

    Someone above mentioned jam/fruit spread. I want to eat plain non-fat Greek yogurt but only like it with cut up fresh strawberries which are not always in season. So maybe a sugar-free jam might be good with the plain yoguret. Thanks for sharing :)
