Greek Yogurt

I eat Greek yogurt b/c of the extra protein and I simply like it. I get the fruit at the bottom kind and eat it with a meal or alone as a snack. I typically have one a day.

I prefer Greek but honestly? Why eat something you don't enjoy? I eat it because I like the taste, it is high in protein and calcium. I eat it plain so it is very low cal (100 calories for 6 oz. of Fage plain). Sometimes, like today, I mix in berries (or honey) but the pre-sweetened ones are a bit cloying for my taste.

I LOVE Greek Yogurt!! When I first tried it, I had bought a no name brand and it was discusting and I thought I would never eat it again and then I found Danone Oikos Greek Yogurt with blueberries on the bottom...so creamy and smooth, before you give up Greek Yogurt you need to try this one

Greek yogurt = easy "cheap" protein. By cheap I mean few calories for the volume of protein. This is true at least, for the no fat, plain versions. I try to get at least 2g protein for 1g carb (sugar) in things like yogurt. They all fail miserably so I do plain, 0% Fage with berries and walnuts. I am lucky in that I don't like sweets so this works well for me.

Down sides of Greek yogurt, as I see it, are higher cost and less calcium than regular yogurts.

I love it - it's like a healthy treat for me. It's lower in calories than regular yogurt, but has a lot more protein. I like the thick consistency too. 120 calories left in the food diary and need more protein? Greek yogurt is perfect!

I prefer it over other yogurt...the consistency is soo good. I prefer Dannon Oikos or Chobani.

Chobani Pineapple is THE BEST!!!!!!! Add some granola if you need to. Its awesome because there is twice as much protein as other regular yogurts but 0 fat! YAY!! And NO artificial sweeteners, BONUS!!!

I use it instead of sour cream. I also use it when I make greek food.

I eat about one a day now for breakfast but I just get the vanilla or plain and add whatever fruit I feel like eating. Usually pinapple or berries

blah

Though I've had friends describe eating it as a form of torture, I personally love greek yogurt-both for its nutritional content and flavor. I eat half a quart of the stuff daily...no joke. I prefer the 0% Fage (which I normally eat completely plain) because their sugar content is a little lower and protein content a little higher...but its so minimally different to certain other brands that in the end, its my pick based on flavor. I do recommend that if you're going to choose a brand other than those mentioned, you take a look at the label. I've found some sneaky "greek" yogurts that are loaded with sugar and have surprisingly little protein, so if you're pushing through a taste you don't like in order to reap nutritional rewards, those aren't going to be your best bet.

Although they sure do tastes good, I've been avoiding any yogurt with fruit flavors added recently, so if I really want to sweeten up my plain greek yogurt, I add some fresh pineapple. For some reason, I find that's the best fruit to mix with it because the juice does a great job of lessening the tart taste...but obviously that is personal preference. If you can bear to try a single cup of some other brands, give it a shot. They're all a little different and the flavor really does grow on you. (Either that, or eating it has completely ruined my taste buds)

Fage with strawberry is my fav! Eating it plain is kind of gross.

I think that Dannon Oikos w/fruit on the bottom is the best greek yogurt that I have tried.

Half a cup of Oikos or Liberté plain greek yogourt (0% fat), with drops of vanilla, 1 packet of Stevia (this is the only way, so far, I can stand Stevia), 1 teaspoon chia seeds + 1 cup of my favorite fruits: this has been my favorite breakfast and dessert for the last 6 months.

I also was not that keen on greek yogourt to start with, but sInce I developed a taste for it, I like the yogourts a lot less.

Try 0% Fage with 1/3 cup Comstock Sugar Free Cherry Pie Filling (35 calories). Very close to cherry cheesecake for less than 200 calories and 0 fat!
