Hi everyone hope your day went well today! I have found the best greek yogurt ever, in my opinion... I had a hard time early on with plain Greek yogurt and since I am still taking potassium twice a day, I have to open capsules and mix them in food. So I have been trying different yogurts and thought I just simply could not eat Greek when I found "oiko's" fruit at the bottom Greek yogurt by Dannon. Friends once you mix this yogurt it becomes so creamy and yummy!! I had the vanilla, mixed in a squirt of sugar free Raspberry Torani syrup and added 2 tsp of low fat granola and it was super. Then today, I found strawberry fruit on the bottom...oh my!

The strawberry has 120 cal and 12 grams of Protein, 0 fat. I am so happy to have found these little blue cups!

Wanted to share with you all an option. I purchased these at Fred Meyer for $1.29 ea but, I am certain they are or could be available at large retail stores.

Best to you all,

Agree these r awesome!! Sounds grose, but when I was first able to start soft solids like fish, I grilled salmon but needed it to be mushier/moister. I had one of those Greek yogurts so I mixed in some with my salmon. Not realizing there were blueberries in the bottom of the Greek yogurt!! But guess what!? I loved it!! Sounds sick but it was so delic!! Now I mix in blueberry Greek yogurt with my salmon and love it!! I know how strange that sounds!!

Hey that is how recipes are found, by accident I like the flavor of salmon too much to mix it but I can see how this creamy yogurt could help in the mushy stage!!

Just watch the sugars! Aren't they like 12-14-18g 's of sugar?

Greek Yogurt can be too thick, but I've got a tip for making it creamier: Just add a little Water and stir. I use the Fage 0, which has 23 grams of Protein and 130 calories per cup, and stir in a little water and some splenda. I like to top it with some berries sweetened with splenda.

what is the greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt is higher in protein that regular yogurt. Don't know if they have it where you are, Sally, but worth looking into.

is it the brick?

is it thicker than yogurt and thinner than cheese

and have taste of yogurt or better

New me, yes it does have 18g sugars so that is a good point. Zero fat...good reminder on the sugars thanks. Still REALLY good maybe it is the sugars that make it so yummy?

I have tried several brands and flavors of Greek yogurt and I can't stand the taste of it, or maybe the consistency, I don't know. I tried though!

I love Oikos! It's literally flying off the shelves at my grocery store, though - the last few times I went shopping, they were sold out!

http://www.fageusa.com/products/fage-total-classic/ this is a link to "Fage" plain yogurt. 190 calories, 10 g fat but 8 g sugar. What is better for us? Do we concentrate on fat or sugar?

The Fage turns my tummy, and I was so excited about the oiko's brand type to have found greek yogurt with more Protein that I could eat. I like the 130 calories and 0 fat with oiko's but now the 18 g of sugars has me bothered...what do you all think?

Thanks

I love this yougart....

My thought is the fage is a plain yogurt with the more calories and fat does have less sugar until you add in fruit....then your talking about an extra 2-5grams depending on your fruit choice. IMO I think I would stick with the dannon I already love plus it's only $1 at Walmart
