    Fage or Chobani. Sometimes I just buy a big container of plain and add honey and fruit.

    I've also tried Liberte and Méditérranée but my grocery store doesn't stock enough of the lower fat/cal ones. They're like 5oz and 230 calories - eep!

    I have texture issues with regular yogurt. It looks like what I think snot would feel like in my mouth. I'm also lactose intolerant, but I can power through Greek yogurt without issue.

    Look for Brown Cow. Very good!


    Not a lover of Greek Yogurt but tried it again the other day (Brown Cow brand) and it was pretty good.

    I agree that it is acquired... My fav is still Dannon Oikos. I have some of the Athena (I think) brand in plain. I use it for cooking. I mostly make spinach artichoke dip with it. (wayyyy less calories than any other version) I also make ranch dip from scratch with the plain for big events.

    In my opinion, Chobani is the BEST. I LOVE Chobani -- lemon and mango are my favorite!!! I don't like regular yogurt, it always has a sour after-taste. Greek yogurt is so much better!

    I must say i'm surprised no one has mentioned the best benifite of Chobani! It contains FIVE active live cultures which are beneficial for your digestive system and has so much more protein for the calories/sugar of a fruited cup verse a "normal" yogurt. I can't stand to eat the sugary thin Yoplait any more, and it used to be my favorite. Keep trying different ones and I'll bet you'll find something you love.

    I like Fred Meyer (Kroger) brand flavored greek yogurts...I have also tried Fage (from Costco), but I prefer the Fredy Meyer brand (and its cheaper!)

    I like the Dannon and I add a scoop of vanilla whey protein powder. It takes away the tanginess Totally yummy!!

    Plain greek yogurt is an AWESOME replacement for sour cream :) I make spinach veggie dip and use the plan greek yogurt, no mayo, no sour cream, still yummo and LESS calories, plus better for ya.

    Fage 0% is a great sour cream substitue on tacos or for making dips. I put it in my preworkout smoothie as well. I also like the Fage with the fruit on the side and Dannon Okios with black cherry is like cheesecake texture and taste. It's indulgent but way better for you! It didn't take long to make the switch!

    my husband and I just started eating the chobani on a regular basis and I really like it! I like the texture of the greek yogurt much better.... not a fan of the apple/cinnamon though....

    I'm not a fan of yogurt, but I really don't have trouble eating the chobani with the fruit on the bottom

    ditto about the apple cinnamon! I was excited to come across it, bought 4 and it was very tart...didnt like it. But will still eat the other 3 so I am not wasting them. I agree about the sugar...the chobani has 17-19g so I am thinking of switching to plain and also adding my own fruits.

    So, this is only the 2nd time I've had it. The first time I tried Dannon Oikos with strawberries. Now I'm trying Chobano with black cherries.

    I didn't like the Dannon brand, but Chobano seems to be a bit better. I think it might take me a while to get used to the texture of Greek Yogurt.

    Is there any brands better than Chobano?

    Ditch the Dannon, Yoplait and Chobani.............

    Try some Greek Gods or Fage. Add a bit of honey and some fresh berries and it is better than ice cream.

    Fage is by far the best and one of the best for you. Mix in splenda and berries and you are set!!

    I :heart: Fage and then my second choice is Chobani.

    I used to buy both of them with fruit in them......but then switched to the 0% no fat plain versions and put my own fruit in them.


    If you want a snack.......I mix 1/2 cup of non-fat (0%) plain greek yogurt with a sprinkle (about 1 tsp or to taste) of sugar free cheesecake jello pudding mix..........It tastes a lot like a real cheesecake and then you can sprinkle your crushed graham cracker in it too :wink:

    Fage 0% Plain is really good! I like to mix it with a container of Carbmaster (found in Kroger's). Also, you can add in sugar free jello powder. Yum, now I'm hungry!

    Fat free plain Chobani is my fav...my friends all think I'm weird but I just like it plain without anything on it. Sometimes I put some fresh blueberries on top. I don't like Fage as much and the Dannon kind is horrible imo.
