    Greek Gods Traditional Plain yogurt, full fat. I add a bit of honey and some fresh fruit. I just switched to a non-fat brand today, just happy I'm getting more protein out of it than I was getting with a full-fat because I don't care for the taste or texture.

    Lived in Greece for 2 years and ate loads of Fage - love it with Thyme scented honey and chopped nuts.

    Dannon Oikos Key Lime yogurt is an occasional treat for me! I bet if you ate it with a graham cracker it would be like key lime pie! :)

    I used to love Chobani until I tasted Fage.....Wow it has the consistency of sour cream...yum. My favorite is the cherry Fage. I'm almost embarrassed to say, but I use all the cherry and use my finger to get every last bit of it out of the container!!! I know, gross, but ummmm good. Really, I don't eat anything else like that .....ever!

    My favorite is Fage Total as well, the plain variety. Trouble is, it's getting harder to find the full-fat version and I've had to settle for the 2%. Wahhh!
    Yes, unfortunately that's the case since so many people buy the 0% and 2%. The only places that sell whole fat plain is Whole Foods and smaller stores like Natural Grocer. Also, Fage is the only brand I know that makes a whole fat variety. I just hope they keep making it since there is a good part of the population not on a low-fat diet (I follow the Primal blueprint and get around 40% calories from fat).

    That's most definitely the reason. I use to be able to find the Total at 2 local grocery chains: Wegmans and Harris Teeter. They've both expanded their Greek yogurt offerings, but damn, no more full-fat! I don't get out to Whole Foods very often, but I'll have to make a special trip and see if they still carry it. Thanks for the tip!

    Trader Joe's Nonfat Mango is the most amazing flavor I've yet to taste. Actually all of there greek yogurt is wonderful. And I like Fage plain 0% fat then I add fruit, cinnamon, almonds/walnuts and a drizzle of honey. amazing.

    I am addicted to Chobani pineapple w/ a bit of fresh pineapple mixed in. I'll admit I have also been eating the Chobani Champions very berry and vanilla with chocolate chunk. I bought those for my son, but he refused to try them :(

    I love Fage! I also think it tastes like sour cream. I mix it with berries, bananas, plain with honey, cucumbers and lemon juice. Someday soon I will put it on a potato with chives.

    The whole fat Fage is thicker and more fluffy than whipped cream, not liquidy/thin like the 0% or 2%. That's one of the reasons I prefer it over the more "popular" varieties.

    Fage is my number one. I get the plain versions and add to them.

    When I can't find Fage (it happens. :sad: ), I've liked Voskos. Chobani comes in distant 3rd.

    I haven't found anything yet that I like better than Trader Joe's. And they offer full fat, 2% and non-fat varieties. The full fat in INCREDIBLE, so smooth and creamy, but I usually buy the 2% plain and add my own fruit and honey, or use it as a sub for sour cream. Good stuff.

    I love Greek Yogurt I do love choboni and when I lived by a Wegmans I loved their honey Greek yogurt. What is your thoughts on Greek yogurt? Is it worth eating it?

    I go with the basic 0 % Fage - then add whatever mix- in you want. I prefer Dutch Apple Jam - 30 calories a ton of sugar but one tablespoon is good for about 3/4 cup of plain 0% greek yogurt

    Trader Joe's 0% Vanilla Bean used to be my favorite, but I just discovered Oikos. The 0% vanilla reminds me of cream cheese. I love it. I've tried other kinds and it must take some getting used to - I didn't like the Fage texture and the Chobani taste.

    I like Fage 0% with Honey, it had no sucrose and the Yogurt is smooth. I like the flavor better than Oikos or Chobani.

    Fage Total (whole fat). I don't buy fat-free or reduced fat dairy products.

    I also get plain since I prefer to put my own fruit. The fruit-filled ones have too much sugar and not enough protein. One of my rules - protein has to be at least 2:1 over sugar.

    Ditto the Fage Total. 2% Fage is OK in a pinch (there is only one store that carries Fage Total in my area).

    I love it! Plus it has around 4x more protein than regular yogurt.. I really don't have a favorite brand I like certain flavors from them all. I would say, yes it is worth it to eat it. :happy:
    Wow, please check your facts before making a statement. It has TWICE the protein.

    I like Dannon Oikos and Fage. I wouldn't touch Chobani with a 10 foot pole.

    When I first started MFP I was having trouble getting enough protein. Everyone kept telling me about Greek yogurt. I tried the stuff and hate it. It is sour and tastes like sour cream. Is there a variety that doesnt taste so sour?
