Yogurt

Personally I use Skyr the Icelandic yoghurt.
Naturally low fat and high protein, no added sugar. I like the Natural and I’ll add my own fruit sometimes.

Personal taste though. Greek Yoghurt is also good!

I have two approaches using un-flavored Greek yogurt. Note that it takes a while to get used to the lack of sweetness, but if I can do it, so can anyone else. (I love sweets!)

1) Whole milk (4% fat) yogurt with berries

2) Non-fat yogurt with nuts an berries (fat comes from the nuts)

I subscribe to the notion that you need some fat in your meals to make them satisfying. I do the second option much more frequently.

Just checked my recipes - should be 214 calories

So many choices! I think it comes to down to personal preferences for tartness, texture, and nutrients. I like most yogurts (except for the "diet" varieties filled with artificial ingredients) and enjoy trying new types and flavors.

I usually choose skyr or Greek yogurt for breakfast. Both are strained, so they have a good amount of protein (about 15 g in 150g). Quark, when I can get it, is nice too - like skyr but less tart. I add fruit, nuts, granola, and/or a drizzle of honey to plain or choose a lower-sugar variety of flavored skyr or yogurt. My favorite brands are Siggi's for skyr and Fage for Greek. My sister likes Two Good, a low-sugar flavored Greek.

The amount of milkfat in the yogurt affects the taste and texture. Yogurts made from lower fat milks tend to be more tart and less creamy, so I use full (4-5%) or reduced-fat (2%) Greek in recipes and as a substitute for sour cream. Watch out for thickening agents like gelatin or guar gum in some fat-free varieties that can affect the final product.

Some of the flavored or fruit-on-the-bottom French and Australian yogurts I've tried make delightful, indulgent desserts, but they contain a lot of sugar and not much protein. (I'm currently obsessed with the Oui Petite Dark Chocolate Raspberry and Noosa Salted Caramel and Raspberry Lemonade flavors). Fortunately, they usually come in smaller containers!

The best way to find what works for you is to read labels and try a few different varieties. Enjoy!

depends on what my calorie goals are for the day - on my days where i do higher fats - i love Noosa full-milk yogurt; if its a lower fat day, i do an oikos triple zero and another low fat option

It really depends on you, your goals, your tastes.

I often buy plain greek yogurt from a local farm. If I get storebrand it's usually Fage or Siggi, but my current grocery has a huge selection of smaller brand yogurts (there's a neighborhood with a somewhat significant Middle Eastern population that also feeds into the grocery store's area, so I think this is why, it has more and different ethnic stuff in general than my prior market). I've tried some of these others, but they are mostly not greek style so have less protein in a serving.

My preference for eating on its own with berries and such added is 2%, although the stuff I get from a local farm is delicious and makes the full fat worth it. Sometimes I have that around and also 0% Fage, which I like on the side with eggs and veg or with potatoes (it's works as a sour cream replacement for me).

I always get plain and add fruit or whatever if I want flavored.

Best for what?

I like Icelandic Skry

I am also a Dannon fan. I like the Oikos Zero as well as the Light & Fit Varieites. The Oikos Zero variety averages 110 calories for 15g protein and 6g sugar. The Light & Fit variety averages 80 calories for 12g protein and 7 to 9g sugar. There are quiet a few tasty options in both.

One brand I won't ever buy is Yoplait, because they've been aware for at least 20 years that wildlife can die after getting their heads stuck in the containers and won't alter their design enough to protect skunks: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/yoplait-yogurt-wildlife-danger-skunk-cups_n_5602dde9e4b0fde8b0d0d5cf

I make my own batch once a week. It’s a 24hr process. If you want really tasty yoghurt best to use full fat milk but for a lighter but (less tasty to me) yoghurt you can use semi or skimmed milk. Great with fresh fruit & a little cereal. Add honey, Golden or Maple Syrup if you want a kick of sweetness.
Also once made, you can blend a little with a small amount of fruit puree/juice to make your own pro-biotic smoothie drink.

It varies. I go for a while on supermarket brand plain yogurt, then Greek, then Labneh (middle eastern). Lately, my favorite kind of "yogurt" is sour cream. This summer I'm liking a fruit dip made from 9 parts whole milk sour cream, 1 part honey, and 1 part vanilla extract.
