Chobani Greek Yogurt or Dannon Oikos Greek Yogurt, Which do

I love love love Oikos, especially the honey. And please, for the love of god, DO NOT buy yoplait. Ew.

I did a taste test and blog about this awhile back.. Oiko's won for me, taste more like regular yogurt, although I liked the taste of the Fruit on the Bottom more than that traditional, except they Key Lime.

If I can't find something on sale - I go for Fage at Costco

This probably isn't very helpful but I buy whatever is on sale or cheaper that week...or what I have a coupon for. I only buy the non-fat plain varieties and I would say that I enjoy them equally. I usually have it for lunch with a little agave nectar, berries and almonds!

I loved Vanilla Dannon Oikos - it tastes like vanilla pudding to me. To "save" on calories, I switched to the plain variety. Then, I tried Fage 0% Plain and OMG, it was the best thing in the world to me. I mix my cereal in it for breakfast, with some fruit (strawberries, blueberries, dried cranberries, orange sections... any and or all of the above) or I will spread it on a bagel thin instead of cream cheese or butter.

Like a previous poster said, it is VERY thick, but I like that about it.

Making your own is very simple to do, and way cheaper.

LOVE Oikos!!! And I have had both.

I always liked Oikos until I tried Chobani Apple Cinnamon... OH MY GOD. NEVER GOING BACK. I could eat it every day. I work at my local Wal-Mart and it's sold out. I checked the handheld and the warehouse is sold out, too. I wanted to cry.

Chobani's

> two thumbs up

They are both pretty good and way better than the store brand.

I like both Chobani and Oikos although I prefer the stonyfield Oikos rather than the dannon. I also like the Chobani Champions for dessert, they are whipped up more like a mousse. Oh and just had Adonia frozen greek yogurt bars, those things are 75 calories and heaven on a stick!

Chobani definitely. It tastes awesome.

Plus, some of the Oikos flavors contain carmine - a.k.a BUGS. Crushed up bugs for coloring. Google it. So nasty...

Hi there,

I have been seeing commercials on Tv saying that people prefer the Dannon Oikos Greek Yogurt over
Chobani Greek Yogurt and I just wanted some opinions before I tried it.

I never liked Yogurt period until I joined MFP and learned about Chobani Greek Yogurt and so far its the only one
that I can eat even after trying a few others. With that being said, it is a little pricey at $1.19 each and I eat 1 a day
and I have been seeing commercials on TV for the Dannon Oikos Greek Yogurt and just wanted to see what people thought
about it in comparison to Chobani.

I have heard of Fagi, At least I think thats what its called but I have never tried it, In Walmart they carry that brand with some fruit in a side cup instead of mixed in. The only place I can find Chobani is at Krogers.

Thanks

Please read all labels before you decide. This is very important! I am from Europe and was amazed to learn that most yogurts here are stuffed to the gills with unnatural fillers like gelatin and/or pectin etc.

Fillers give the yogurt a grainy taste. They are also loaded with sugar! Like natural milk - which should be the basis of a good yogurt - there should be no more than about 6 grams of sugar in your yogurt.

Personally, I prefer the greek Fage yogurt. No fillers, and only 6 grams of sugar! Fage comes in small, medium and large tubs. It also comes in full-fat, 2% and 0% fat. I am in the southeast and buy it at Kroger or Publix. I found that buying the largest tub will give me a portion every day for less that I would have spent on the individual cups.

I do not like the fruit cups as they add back the sugar I have been avoiding. One exception though; the Fage with honey. Once in a great while I can't resist it... Forgive me *lol* Call me strange, but I eat my yogurt with cereal, like most people eat cereal with milk. Doesn't get soggy and I like the crunch.

So, there you have it... my 2 cents worth.

I prefer the Dannon Oikos. Key lime is my FAVORITE, it eat one almost everyday. I did pick up a thing of Chobani Strawberry/banana yesterday though and plan to try it tomorrow.

i buy the plain chaboni or Fage in big container and then take ziploc or rubber made containers the 1/2 cup or cup size and measure it all out ( i usually do this on sunday to get ready for the week i usually do 1/2 cup in each. Then I went to walmart ( can get it anywhere) i sugar free preserves i have a range of flavors. I walmart brand and smuckers in more flavors. I then measure 1 tbsp into each and then mix if not sweet enough i put a packet of truvia in it you end up with a snack or part of a meal for about 75 cals. The preserves are only 10 cals. I also have use torani coffee syrup sugar free in them also and thats yummy as well but i like the fruit better,
