Well, just had my first taste of greek yogurt. I am not a yogurt fan BUT I think adding a wee bit of granola sure helps it taste bunches better. I had the fruit in the bottom kind and think I will just get plain next time. It wasn't really fruit, more like jelly. That sugar will definitely get the heart burn going.. As I ate it I started wondering if all greek yogurts were the same. This brand was Dannon are there better, healthier, more authentic "greek" yogurts out there. I also want to know what you add to yours. I'm sure liking the granola. What a wonderful afternoon snack. Oh and what about protein? Are they all about the same in that too?

I like Chobani Greek Yogurt. They have MANY flavors and even plain. If I get a big tub of plain I add my own fresh fruit! Its a taste adjustment, but now I only eat Greek Yogurt, anything else tastes too sweet and artificial.0

im a HUGE fan of the yoplait greek ones...there arent too many flavors but i dont liek the chunky fruit ones anyways...and oikos by dannon is getting to the top of my list too...0

I like Chobani.. but Fage 2% is (by far) my favorite.0
-
I have tried 3 diffrent kinds of greek yogurt...the only and I repeat ONLY one I like is chobani...it is so different from the others it is unbelievable... worth the extra cost....and I love the pomegranate flavor and the plain the best... the fruit have 14 g of protein and the plain has 18 grams0
-
I echo the Chobani lovers...it's good stuff.0

If you're getting plain, go for Fage, if you can find it. I buy mine in the 4 cup container at Costco for $5. It needs a little sweetener of some kind (berries, honey, Splenda, whatever you like) since it tastes a lot like sour cream but it only has 7 grams of sugar.0

I buy Oikos Greek Yogurt and add fruit or Kashi ceral to mix in. Pretty good0
-
I love Oikos....so yummy! I dont add anything.....0
-
Fage and Chobani are the only two I like. I buy both plain and will add 1/2 a teaspoon on honey per cup of yogurt. Fage has the best flavor but Chobani has an additional 3 bacteria which gives it a slightly more sour taste.0

Be careful of the brand.
if the label has high sugar and carb counts then you might as well eat regular yogurt. I was fooled by yoplait but with 22g of sugar (i think it was) and then something like 12g of carbs, well sugar is a carb so that adds up pretty high.
Fage is prolly the better stuff, plain, and add some honey.
Just an FYI.0 -
I'm used to regular yogurt and I tried the chobani one and it had a little over 15g of sugar.... I'm wondering as well if there are any ones without that much sugar0

I agree with the Chobani one being great...i've tried the pineapple and the pomegranate...both are great!0
-
Chobani vanilla with Kashi berry crumble mixed in is a fantastic snack!0

I don't recommend Yoplait.. I found the strawberry one to be way to bitter/sour tasting.
I like Chobani and Dannon... Plain Chobani though tastes like sour cream. I added Oval-tine and raspberries to it yesterday and it tasted a lot better!0 -
I recently came across Chobani Champions. They are meant for kids so they're a bit smaller but still high in protein and fat free.0

Athenos Greek Yogurt (Honey Flavored). It is the only yogurt I will eat. Tastes great alone or with granola. Mixes well if you're making a smoothie or protein shake. The taste gets better and better as you get to the bottom.0
-
I think Chobani is just the best. Next I will have some Yoplait 2x Protein nonfat plain. I had that for breakfast with some cut-up canteloupe on the bottom of the bowl, the yogurt, 1/4 c dried cherries and 1/4 cup pumpkin seed granola. Mmmmm!0

Why eat something that you are "not a fan" of, especially when dieting?0

I second Chobani Champions! They're a smaller portion and only 100 calories. Love them!0 -
I'd say that if at all possible, buy the plain yogurt and add real fruit.
Whenever anybody sells something thats supposed to be sweet, I think the market pressures them to make it *really* sweet. Sometimes it's nice to have something a little bit less sugary. At first (mainly as a precaution) I would drizzle a bit of honey on mine, but now I enjoy it as is.
Yogurt itself is its own preservative (it's already spoiled !). But fruit goes bad if you don't preserve it somehow. "Preserves" work by adding a ton of sugar; enough to kill any bacteria that might try to grow in it. I don't know if flavored, sweetened yogurt contains additional artificial preservatives or just sugar. Either way, fresh fruit and plain yogurt is likely healthier.
Another thing that's nice (and healthy) : plain yogurt with 2 tbsp ground flax seed. Great way to get omega-3's, and a lot cheaper than salmon.0
