Hi All, I have heard that Greek Yoghurt is a good source of Protein but while I was at the store getting supplies for my up coming sleeve I noticed that have around 20g of sugar so is it good to eat or not?

Thanks

What store did you find it in? I have looked at my kroger's but I can't seem to find it?

:thumbup::glare::w00t:

Super Walmart and Ralph's which is Krogers both carry it. Dannon makes some with flavors strawberry, peach, blueberry.

Look for the non-fat, plain variety. If you purchase the flavor, or fruit ones, you will get the sugar content.

With the plain, non-fat, you add sugar free pudding (the white chocolate tastes like cheesecake), or other flavorings to make it taste better.

I avoided the fruit or flavored varieties because of sugar and carb counts. I mainly used (and still use it) as a sour cream substitute.

Brown Cow Non-Fat Greek Yogurt had 23 grams of protein per serving and negligible sugars carbs etc. 2 weeks out from surgery it took me 2 hours to eat a serving but it was great stuff, I drizzled honey on top (nut. said it was ok) and tapped some cinnamon and it was sooo gooood! =) Really wish I had access to it now.

Wait so I can add sugar free pudding mix right to my yogurt it? Does it really taste good? I will have to try this I been eating Greek yogurt but with the fruit at the bottom.

Yeppers you sure can, and if you pop it in the fridge for about an hour, I swear the white chocolate flavored sugar free pudding powder mix makes the icky, tart plain, non-fat greek yogurt taste just like cheesecake.

The lemon sugar free pudding is yummy too. I don't even make pudding with milk anymore, and I also make pies like lemon chess pie this way. I mix the pudding powder with greek yogurt, and toss it in a graham cookie crust, stick it in the freezer for 2 hours, and VOILA I have lemon chess pie.

Do you know about what your ratios are? How much pudding powder per how much yogurt? Would be great to know so I get it right the first time! :thumbup1: Thanks!

Wow Tiffy, thanks! I'll be trying that one! As for ratios, you could probably add a little and taste test, then add some more till it's perfect.

Even with the plain, you have to read the label. Yoplait has tons of sugar--don't use it. Same with a few others I've seen. Dannon makes one with almost no fat and sugar, that's what I use.
