    More protein. Less sugar. Gotta be careful though, the ones with fruit in them already are not as good as that. They have more sugar and less protein than the plain Greek yogurt. I like adding frozen blueberries to my yogurt. I add them together in the morn and by the time I'm ready for it as a snack, the blueberries have defrosted and blend nicely into the yogurt. Blueberries being one of the superfruits adds to this very good snack. :smile:

    Most definately. Much more protein just to start. However, you need to get the good stuff. Chobani, Fage, etc. with 20+ grams of protein per serving.
    I would suggest a web search on the comparison of the two types.

    The real question is, are several question marks better than 1?

    I have to agree! It is worth the money for the better nutrition you get!

    Greek yogurt is awesome!!! It helps me to meet my daily protein goals. I don't find it more expensive than regular yogurt because usually you can find great deals.. I like Dannon Oikos and Fage. Chobani is okay, but I prefer the other two brands. Kroger also has a good Greek yogurt too. I eat one serving everyday.............

    I absolutely love the Danone Oikos Vanilla. I'll have to try Chobani the next time I vist the States. I think though, I'm going to buy the plain next time and blueberries. The Danone does have an awful lot of sugar.

    @Sunkisses. What is so disturbing about seeing multiple question marks that has prompted an off-topic, negative response from you????? If you can't add to the discussion in a positive way, then perhaps you should remain silent.

    I eat greek yogurt almost every day! I love it, and it's worth the extra money for the extra protein and lower sugar. I usually get Fage with honey, or Chobani.

    I should practice what I preach.... I agree with the posters on Greek yogurt as a great protein food source- twice as good as your average yogurt.

    @Catwrangler.... I strongly disagree. It WAS off-topic and added nothing to the discussion. Our focus was on Greek yogurt, not English grammar and punctuation. I am through beating a dead horse.

    You've misinterpreted tone on the internet. Surprising! Your comment, on the other hand? Irony.

    Greek yogurt has more calories but they are healthy ones. Plus, I think it taste better.
    As to Sunkisses and md02...Sorry but I seemed to have taken it wrong also. I felt the comment sounded sarcastic. But then, I guess I misinterpreted also.

    I read it in a sarcastic tone as well...since it was an unneccessary comment.

    Switched to Greek six months back. I can never go back to regular now. Love Greek yogurt.

    If you are in Canada, the Super Store for P.C Plain Greek yogurt is the best and the best deal.

    Not all greek yogurt is created equal! Check the labels before you buy. I think the plain ones are probably all ok, but I know the Dannon and Activia (sp?) add ALOT of extra sugars to the flavored ones. The flavored fage and Stoneyfield organic do also, but I think those were all natural sugars though I can't recall exactly. I just remember my disgust looking at a individual cup of Activia and it had 29! grams of sugar.

    I like to make different salad dressings with plain greek yogurt. I also use it as a substitute for sour cream. You can add it to various recipes, google cooking with greek yogurt. I told my coworker about it and he tried Making Penne Ala Vodka with it instead of cream and he said it was wonderful.

    Thank you foodcraver. I live in Canada and I bought "Liberte" from our co-op. I am just getting in Yogourt so I bought the blueberry one. It has 0% fat and 15 g of protien but alas 22g of sugar, 150 calories per 3/4 cup. I will look in the SuperStore and check those out... and thank you everyone for the information on this.

    Love the stuff! Not only is it better for you, but it is so versatile. I use it in place of sour cream in many recipes. I prefer the plain (to keep the sugar count down) mixed with a little flavored omega swirl or flavored protein powder and fresh berries.

    The only kind I can ever seem to find where I live is Liberte. I have never found the other kinds.

    This is what I was going to post. LOVE Fage!
