I am hearing tons about greek yogurt. Sounds like many people mix it and I just can't keep it all straight. I thought a new topic specific for greek yogurt would help. What is your favorite brand of greek yogurt? What is your favorite way to eat greek yogurt? Thanks

I have tried every brand of greek yogurt and cannot stand any of it. Don't know how anyone can stand it!

If you are eating it plain, I don't blame you. I eat it all the time and love it, but sweeten it myself.

I LOVE greek yogurt and eat it several times a day. My advice though, do not eat it plain! Most people try it and say they don't like it, but if they are eating it plain, it is not that great. I love that it is nice and thick and has lots of Protein.

I always sweeten mine with flavored stevia (usually vanilla) and a splash of sugar free Torani syrup. Sometimes I add a few almonds and chocolate chips, sometimes I sweeten with lemon stevia and add raspberries, YUMMY!

I would avoid the sweetened ones though. If you read the label, they are sweetened with sugar (most of the time) and very high in carbs and sugars. They might tasted delicious, but they defeat the purpose of something so healthy.

I also recommend reading the label. If it says any other than milk, cream, and bacterial cultures, it is not true greek yogurt. Some companies add fillers like whey protein concentrate, corn starch, and Gelatin to thicken the yogurt instead of straining it, which is the true way to make greek yogurt.

You can also make your own by straining plain yogurt, like someone said. I have also made my own using milk and a starter (a few tablespoons of plain yogurt for the bacteria). If you google it, you find recipes. It is really easy, just a little time consuming (hurry up and wait kind of recipe!)

I couldnt stomach greek yogurt after surgery until this last week. I am 6 1/2 months post op. I now like the Dannon Oikos fruit in the bottom
