Favorite Greek Yogurt (In the U.S.A.)

This is probably a U.S. only question.

I am using Stoneyfield organic Greek yogurt but it is on the expensive side, I don't think the stores I go to sell a non-organic variety.
I had a store brand that was awful, I ate it for breakfast and it felt like putty in my stomach for half the day. It was the same ingredients as the Stoneyfield.

Does anyone use Cabot brand? What brand Greek yogurt do you recommend?
Thank you

    I use Walmart whole milk plain. Not non-fat, though. Non-fat = gross!

    I use the non-fat version and it is fine. Most other things I don't want non-fat. Thank you

    I like Chobani, particularly the apple cinnamon.
    Also Trader Joe's store brand is pretty good.

    I buy the Aldi store brand, they sell fat-free but I eat whole milk as well ;) The Chobani 4% when they have it at Costco.

    When I used 0% I'd get the 3lb tubs of Fage from Costco. They also have their own store brand one but I never tried it.

    I'm a fan of Chobani and Tillamook plain greek yogurt.

    Oikos Triple Zero is my favorite.

    This is becoming my favorite too. I also love noosa, but its 2x the calories and satiates me less than low fat versions.

    Honestly, I think non-fat is less forgiving taste-wise. A little extra fat smooths out any taste issues IMHO, I could only find one or two brands and one or two flavors in those brands I liked. So I switched to 2%.

    Oikos Triple Zero is the only non-fat I still eat, but only a couple of flavors. Some of them seem really chalky or bitter to me. I usually get some variety of Oikos, Chobani Blended, or the store brand. The gold standard for me is Fage, but that stuff is pricey, so I haven't been able to afford it in awhile :cry:

    I got a coupon for a new Yoplait variety, YQ I think? Said something about using ultra filtered milk. The Strawberry was yummy, but I only had it once.

    Are you by any chance a Costco member? The tubs of Fage 0% they sell are 3lbs and cost the same as the ones they sell in the grocery store that are 2lbs making it a very affordable option :)

    Whatever is on sale. I prefer Chobani or fage, but they are often costly so I settle for store brands.

    I like Triple Zero vanilla and all of the fruit flavors (peach, strawberry, mixed berry, banana creme, etc.), but some of the other flavors aren't so great. I'm not at all a fan of the salted caramel, coffee, chocolate, and a couple others.

    Wallaby organic whole milk vanilla Greek yogurt is my absolute favorite. So rich and creamy and vanilla-y! I don't think it would be a cheaper substitute as it's around $7 per tub. I usually get it while it's on sale. Definitely worth it for me!

    Trader Joe's plain non-fat Greek yogurt is excellent. I usually put Splenda in it. It also makes an excellent sour cream substitute.

    The ONLY one I like is Trader Joe’s 0% fat. I don’t like the pomegranate or honey flavors though because they are too tart.

    Fage Total non-fat Greek (especially the split cups!) is far and away better than any other I've tried. The iBotta app has had a $0.25/cup rebate on the split cups for the last several weeks; between that and a Publix 10/10 sale, they've been pretty affordable for me lately!

    I like the flavor of the Chobani fruit-on-the-bottom non-fat Greek varieties, too, but I wish the texture was thicker/more similar to Fage. I have found that, if I throw the Chobani in the freezer for about 30-45 minutes prior to eating, I like the texture a bit better.

    I haven't tried Oikos Triple Zero yet; I'll have to toss a couple into the mix on my next shopping trip.

    I eat Fage plain 0%. I stock up on the big tubs when Safeway puts them on sale.
