Can anyone shed some light for me on now low fat or fat free Greek yogurt can be included in clean eating recipes when the ingredient list is huge and full of junk? And the full fat type is 300 calories for a cup!!! Help!!

What ingredients are listed? In the one I eat (low fat) the ingredients list is: "Cows' milk".

Have you tried looking at other brands?
http://www.chobani.com/products/plain#plain-non-fat
Ingredients
Nonfat Yogurt (Cultured Pasteurized Nonfat Milk). Contains Milk. Contains Live And Active Cultures: S. Thermophilus, L. Bulgaricus, L. Acidophilus, Bifidus And L. Casei.1 -
Erm ... those are the bacteria nessesary to make yogurt.
Are you serious? Sounds like trolling a bit.16 -
If there are none then I would be seriously concerned what is in this 'yogurt' lol.3

oikos triple zero but.. um.. what is "clean eating" and "junk". No such thing. #iifym6

That's basically what I was coming to post about 0% and 2% Fage, which have the same limited ingredients as those listed for the Chobani.
Maybe my yogurt experience is limited, but I've never seen a low fat or skim yogurt that was unflavored with added stuff (it's only different from the full fat in that they use skim or low fat milk).
Whether it's "clean" or not, dunno, as it's still obviously processed (not that there's anything wrong with that), but this idea that plain yogurt has a bunch of extra ingredients added is not something I've run into.7 -

"Clean eating" has dozens of different meanings. And yeah, yogurt includes cultures. They aren't "junk".10

I believe marieamethyst's point is that there are no added ingredients beyond what you'd expect, no?13 -
Incidentally the reason yougurt is recommended by our GPs when we have tummy issues is because these bacteria are helpful in digestion.0

I would like to point out that I am not the OP, and I only posted an example of a nonfat Greek yogurt so they'd know there are brands out there that don't have all the extra ingredients that some of the other brands do. (Usually the flavored ones)
If this means I'm trolling, then so be it.

be careful of all the sugar that is in yogurt. I stopped eating it for that reason.0

I just looked at my Fage 0 Greek Yogurt - it is only skim milk and yogurt cultures. Nothing huge or junky.4

@marieamethyst I have to apologize. (And possibly put down the phone and go to sleep.)
I mistook you for the OP. I was basically arguing with what in my imagination was the OP complaining about the bacteria.
Sorry for the confusion everyone and good night all!18 -

I have no issues with lactose. I believe it can be an issue if you are lactose intolerant.4 -

The sugar in plain yogurt is natural (lactose). Flavored yogurt has added sugar, but not plain. And if you don't have a reason to watch your sugar intake, it's fine in moderation.11 -

Yay all the more for me then!7 -

The chobani 0% yogurt i eat has 3.2g of sugar per 100g. The full fat one has 2.7g sugar. Hardly a huge amount of sugar, pretty minimal IMO.
The flavoured yogurts can sometimes have around 10g per 100g, still not a lot of sugar if you ask me.5 -
Thank you everyone. I wasn't referring to the cultures as junk. Obviously this is the primary reason to eat the yogurt. I was reading containers at Walmart and got frustrated and gave up. I don't recall the brands but this post makes me more comfortable that I can find something without additives and extras. Thanks again for the links.2

Ain't skeered. I eat Oikos Triple Zero every single day, sometimes two or three of them. I haven't grown a third eye or developed diabeetus of the kanser yet.18 -

Yes. Get a real strained yogurt that doesn't have all that crap in it. Seriously, yogurt doesn't need all that in it to be yummy and have a nice texture.0 -

But that's a flavored yogurt. If you don't want all the stuff then get the plain and flavor it yourself. Of course flavors are going to add extra ingredients.8 -

Which ingredient, specifically, are you concerned about and why?8 -
You could also make your own yogurt. It's fairly easy and you control what's in it.1

What's wrong with that list of ingredients?3 -
I buy plain Greek yogurt which i don't particularly like the taste of (too tart), and flavour it myself. I use 0 calorie flavdrops from MyProtein, they have many different flavours to choose from.0

Clean eating means nothing, and do you really eat a cup (250 ml) of yogurt in one sitting?4 -

This. The same is true with the full fat, btw. If you are looking at flavored yogurts, of course they have the various ingredients used for the flavoring in it. There are tons of 0% and 2% plain yogurts, though.
It's all still processed, of course, but again, not that there's anything wrong with that.2
