Is Greek Yogurt the same as Balkan Yogurt?

I don't mean how it's processed, but rather in nutritional value and flavour (I always buy the plain and don't use it for cooking, I just eat it with fruit). Is it similar with proteins and carbs etc? Does it taste similar? The Balkan can be much less expensive, so from a budgeting viewpoint I'm wondering....

    no it's not the same.

    greek yogurt is thick and has few carbs and high protein

    balken yogurt is more like plain normal yogurt, just a different style

    if you compare nutrition labels, you'll notice differences

    No it's not the same. Greek yogurt has fewer carbs and more protein. Balkan yogurt is just.. like plain normal yogurt but I like it more. :wink:

    Hi, I'm new to this site. Just began 4 days ago. I love this site and I'm doing very well (although I have gone over my recommended calorie limit a few times). Anyway, your question got my attention because I eat one greek yogurt every day and I love it. I have never heard of Balkan yogurt. Where do you get it? I love trying new things

    Read the thread, go buy regular yogurt.
