I tried so far Chobani and Fage greek yogurt,and I didn't like them The flavor is disgusting ( to me ) even if I add to the plain one Torani SF syrup or splenda.

Is there any other "bariatric friendly " yogurts that I can try out there? I know the greek yogurt is high in protein Which one is your favorite?

You didn't even like the Oikos fruit on the bottom? I think those are soo good. They also have Chobani Champions, a kid- friendly Greek yogurt that is much sweeter.

Do you have a Trader Joe's where you are? The TJ brand of greek yogurt is DEEEELICIOUS!!! (It's not fat free or sugar free though). It's the first greek yogurt i ever tried, so when I tried other brands I went "blleeeech! what IS this stuff?!"

I hate Greek yogurt, too. Never could find a brand I liked. Early in the full liquids phase, I realized I was going to have to figure out a Protein source, so I used legumes--Beans, peas, Peanut Butter, soy products--all of which can be blended, mashed, hidden in other foods (I snuck rinsed white beans into smoothies--yummy and completely not "beany" flavored).

I also smushed up cottage cheese into a creamier texture, and that worked well. You might also try ricotta cheese with sweetener, vanilla, or cinnamon on it--I liked to put some orange or almond flavor in there and stir--it's like eating cheesecake filling, but good for you. :-) I use the lower-fat ricotta because I prefer the texture to the full-fat one.

I like my greek yogurt made into a smoothie. Try it and see if it works better for you.

Early on, I used 1/2 cup yogurt, splash of OJ, two small strawberries or one big one, 3 tablespoons Splenda, and 1/4-1/2 cup Water.

I still have one for Breakfast everyday, but now I am up to 1 cup yogurt and I add a piece of whole wheat toast.

You can also add the greek yogurt to Soups or use it to make dip (just substitute for sour cream in any dip recipe).

My NUT suggested to put some Crystal Light in it. She said it turns out delicious. I personally haven't tried it.

Greek Yougurt is great in protein. I just buy the Yoplait light and add some unflavored protein powder to it. It tastes really good and has high protein.

The first time I had greek yogurt I about gagged. I'm still pre op, but I eat it every morning. Fage is still my favorite though. I do the flavored ones though. I haven't been able to do the plain.

I love the oiknos plain greek yogurt with a little bit of sugar free strawberry preserves and bear naked granola. YUMM!

^{Kroger / Fred Meyer chain stores carry a store brand of sugar-free, carb-control yogurt. I forget what it's called, something like Carbmaster? If you like yogurt, you might give it a try. It was too sweet for me, but I had success blending it with plain greek yogurt.}

What about Skyr yogurt? It's an Icelandic yogurt (and thus more of a really soft cheese) and I know that it has great protein, not sure about the sugars though.

Thanks for great suggestions

Doris I love the idea of buying a low fat yogurt and add some unflavored Protein Thanks!!!

Try a savory version. Add Hidden Valley ranch dip packet.....it tastes just like dip....but with an awesome protein kick!

OOOOO!!! Interesting!!!

Granted I just got home and started eating...but I got Stoneyfield LowFat plain and mixed in one scoop of chocolate protein powder, with some Truvia for sweetness. I also added one of the crushed pills in it too and it was pretty good.

i'm not there yet, so my question is...why does it have to be Greek yogurt? Is there more protein in it?
