    I make my own yogurt and then strain it through a cloth to thicken it up. This is Greek style yogurt. Delicious. I used to use fat-free milk, but now I use full fat because it tastes so much yummier and I'm usually way under on fat anyway.

    If you strain it even more and add some salt, then you get labane which is kind of like a soft cream cheese made of yogurt.

    IMHO, no yogurt sitting for weeks or months on the shelf will ever compare with fresh. When you make your own you can control how sour it is. I can make my yogurt so mild that it has almost no tang at all and sweetens right up with just a small handfull of ripe blueberries.

    I'm a big chobani fan. I usually add a little splenda because I find it a bit bitter. Haven't added granola yet and I'm not sure why b/c I really like granola.
  • I enjoy Stonyfield Greek Yogurt in a morning protein shake with ice cold water, frozen fruit, whey protein (I prefer vanilla) and Quaker oats for a little added fiber. I know that greek yogurt is far better than regular but I can't eat it alone. Taste's like eating sour cream to me XD. I don't mind the stuff mixed with fruit one bit but it has so much more sugar...

    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.


    Splenda! Excellent idea.. I tried honey and I didn't care for that so much. I will try Splenda tomorrow..

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

    I wasn't, LOL. But I am looking for alternatives to cereal and eggs. I do like the greek yogurt though. And I love EVERYONES tips and advice. Going to vary the granola mixes and add a bit of splenda (I've got a terrible sweet tooth.) and berries. I like those parfaits from McDonalds so I'm trying to make a "healthier" version at home. Again thanks everybody!
