    I also eat one yogurt a day, adding flaxseed to it. Chobani is my favorite, it's hard to beat the strawberry banana flavor! I like the Oikos super-fruit flavor as well, so I would suggest that one if you try it.

    Also, if you go to the Chobani website, you can print out some coupons :)


    Thanks, Never thought of that :)

    Well my favorite is the Pmoegranate Chobani of course!!! I may try the Oikos by Dannon and see if its any good, and also the Fragi. Thanks to everyon that posted, I really appreciate it.

    I like the Fage plain, but the Fage with fruit on the bottom had non-sugar sweetener and other additives, which surprised me. The chobani fruit-flavors are made with real fruit and came sugar so if I want fruit, I get chobani. Usually I just add 1/2 tablespoon of honey and it's delicious.

    The dannon is my Greek yogurt of choice. I usually get the plain kind and add honey and cinnamon... Or mango... Or something like that. I did try the vanilla nonfat one today and I enjoyed it, but think I still prefer the plain with honey and fruit

    I have tried a bunch of different ones but I like dannon best

    I just tried the Dannon one because I too saw the commercial, I say Chobani is way better. I get a 12 pack of the Chobani at Sams club for just under $12.

    Fage is THE best by far! More expensive, but worth the price. I consider it my "treat" version of yogurt!

    My normal yogurt intake is a personal blend:

    1/2 Yoplait Original any flavor ( it is low-fat, no artificial sweeteners or high fructose corn syrup)
    1/2 Plain fat-free

    Blending the two significantly lowers both the fat and sugar per serving, but is still plenty sweet for my liking!

    i wasn't a fan of greek yogurt until i tried chobani. i really liked it but it was pricey. Oikos was on sale so i tried it and i personally like it better. probably because it is sweeter. i also tried athenos which is tolerable but i wouldn't get it unless it was on sale.

    Ok so today I decided to try the Dannon Oikos Greek Yogurt Strawberry flavor and might i add it cost more then Chobani and to me
    it is NOT as good as Chobani. I can tolerate it but it is not as smoothe tasting as Chobani. I think I will stick with Chobani.

    Chobani is really gross. The fruit on the bottom looks like fruit which has turned brown and is gummy-like, as if they use xanatham gum or something. Dannon's looks and tastes 10 time better. Plus Chobani is a rip-off and that organic crap they try to push on us .

    I buy the big container of the Chobani 0% plain yogurt and love it. I add it to my protein shakes, use it in place of mayo and sour cream. I've substituted it for milk in my mac & cheese (it was a suggestion on the back of the Annie's box. HIGHLY recommend it!) I'll eat it plain or add honey, maple syrup, home made black berry jam, PB . . . oh I could go on and on and on about how much I love the stuff!! LOL!!

    I like Fage the best. The plain yogurt is great to add to different recipes and the split cup - the one with the fruit on the side is super yummy!

    I've had both varieties. Chobani is pricey, I've seen Target, Walmart, and Tom Thumb carry them at around $1.22 each, on occasion they'll have a sale where they sell it for $1, and that's when I usually buy a bunch of them.

    I really like the mango and apple cinnamon flavors from Chobani. My Walmart is carrying Oikos for $1, so I've been buying that one lately, I really love the black cherry flavor, and the blueberry ones. I haven't tried any of their other flavors.

    I think the flavor is stronger in the Oikos' yogurt as opposed to the Chobani yogurt, but they both taste delicious.

    I like both, but Oikos is my preference. I don't care for Fage because of the texture--it's very thick. But if you like that, you'll like Fage--its my husband's favorite.

    I love Chobani! It's like a meal and very satisfying. I get it at Costco and it ends up being less that a dollar each.

    I've never tried Chobani but Dannon is alright. Fage is the best ;)

    Fage is the best one ever, but its not sold near me.
    So I chose which ever is cheaper between Chobani & Dannon, I like Dannon more than Chobani.
    I normally like to get plain yogurt and put in grapes and grape nut cereal! YUM, that way its way better on sugars.
    Also for a nice treat I LOVE the Dannon Key Lime Oikos yogurt its sooooo Good!!!

    I'd say avoid Dannon.

    My favorite is Fage Total 0% plain.

    I also like Voskos with honey.

    Stonyfield Oikos.

    Chobani plain was OK, but not as good as Fage. I haven't had any flavored versions.

    You can also strain regular yogurt to make Greek yogurt. Line a strainer with coffee filters, put it over a bowl, pour in the yogurt and let stand in the fridge for a few hours (consistency/taste of sour cream) or overnight (consistency/taste of cream cheese). Amazon sells a fancy little contraption with a fine mesh strainer and container to catch the whey (think that is what the liquid is called).

    I LOVE Oikos - I haven't seen Chobani in Canada, at least where I am anyway.

    Take a look at the ingredients list. You can read the ingredients in Chobani. Not as much in Oikos. Also, Chobani tastes better :P

    ZOI Honey flavored greek yogurt. It's like crack cocaine. Can't get enough.

    Theres ones store near buy that carries this....and another that carries the Zoi :D

    But I've never tried it...looks good. I'll have to pick some up. I prefer Chobani but Fage is what got me into greek yogurt. I've been hooked on pineapple chobani lately though.

    My favorite is Liberte Mediterranee both plain and in flavors.

    but i've yet to see it in the states when I'm there. I think it may be Canada specific.

    My favorite brands of Greek yogurt are Chobani, Brown Cow, and Dannon Oikos. I always buy a box of Brown Cow greek yogurt from Sam's Club. The box of 12 is $10.68 which comes to $.89 each.

    Chobani for sure! I think the Okios taste chalky to me.

    My new fav breakfast that actually holds me over til lunch is:

    1 6oz thing of chobani plain fat free
    1 honey tangerine
    20 grams of honey almond granola
    1 teaspoon stevia

    It is yummy!

    I love dannand oikos... I think cobanni is too sour. I go to Safeway and get the 50% off going to expire in a week ones and it brings he cost down to a manageable price.

    Chobani is sex in the mouth.
    But I agree, pretty pricey and I don't like all the sugar.
    So I pick up plain, non fat greek yogurt and add some trail mix and splenda to it, of some Kashi Go Lean Crunch cereal to it. pretty tastey, you get your fiber and taste minus the insane amount of sugar.

    I personally prefer Oikos, but I usually buy whichever is in stock, they are basically identical nutrition wise, local store usually runs low on Oikos some days of the week and I have to buy Chobani
