Greek Yogurt

[HEARTONMYSLEEVE 1]

I would like to know what everyone's favorite brand of greek yogurt is? Also, do any of the brands make flavored sugar free varieties as they do with regular yogurt? I tried the Fage plain but I ended up putting honey in it as it was to bitter and strong for me. I liked the fruit mixed ones as well but I know that is all added sugar and I am trying to avoid adding too much sugar. As well, any suggestions on adding things to the plain to make it nicer? Thanks for the advice.

I like Fage, and Oikos brand of the vanilla flavored or plain. Tracey suggested using sugar-free strawberry jelly, that definitely helps.

Other people use the sugar-free Davinic or Toriani syrups to help cut the bitterness.

I mixed splenda with mine and that was enough for me to be able tolerate it.

You can also use greek yogurt in place of sour cream in Beans, or with a little marinara sauce just for a different flavor.

Get some davicni or torini sf flavored syrups that people put in coffee. they come in every flavor you can think of. I like raspberry and Peanut Butter. I also like to mix in stevia to sweeten it or sf jam.

I like Fage, Oikos and siggi's which seems to be new on the market. I think the Oikos is the creamiest and least tangy.

I agree Okios is best for me. If I want it sweeter I add a little stevia.

It's great to make Soups creamy and adds a hunk of protein!

I love Oikos, but I get Fage because of the high Protein and lower carbs.

I add the crystal light iced tea drink mixes - 5 calories, no carbs, no sugar.

It gives it a sweet taste with a little kick.

For the minimal difference, I prefer the taste of Okios. Everyone's different though...try them all.

I just tried Oikos strawberry today, it was great! The other brands of Greek Yogurt I have tried were too tangy and sour for me

I'm going to have to try this Greek yogurt. . .

I am eating the Dannon Greek plain right now. It is also a bigger container than the rest. I agree that it is an acquired taste but one I am willing to acquire so as NOT to acquire my spare tire (or 2) again!!! I actually add chocolate whey crisps to mine to really up the Protein content.

Okios is what I buy....the plain because the carbs are so low. I add stivia to sweeten it when I make a smoothie or whatever and last night I used it for sour cream on a baked potato, and so did my husband....it really does taste like sour cream!

Yes it does, I put a big ol' heaping spoonful of it in my chili!

I really like Brown cow. It has 23 g of Protein per 1 cup and I'm on full liquids and can add it to my shakes and it helps me get to my goals!

I like the Brown Cow too, but they don't carry it in our little town. I've gotten it before when we shop at the Woodlands, a large grocery store about an hour from us....but we aren't there on a regular basis! It is also less expensive, which is nice!

I actually found it in our Walmart. Walmarts all carry different stuff but I bet if you request it they could get it for you.
