Greek yogurt challenged

[rubyanne 3]

What is the best Greek yogurt to use? Are we supposed to look at sugar contents, plain, with fruit? HELP I feel so dumb about this!

Fage 0% plain. 7 carbs with no added sugar. I flavor with low carb Protein Powder. Dannon light and fit Greek is flavored and only slightly higher carb but with added fructose. Fructose should be classified as a poison.

I like Yoplait's 100 calorie greek yogurt. High Protein, good flavor and the lowest sugars I've seen.

I love carbsmart yogurt and it has alot of protien and many different flavors too.

[cygnusatratus 73]

I havent tried those and I haven't seen the carbsmart yogurt. However the yoplait is 14g of carbs and contains sugar. That may be fine for most folks but my body won't let me get away with that too often. And I read that yoplait is being sued as to whether its regular greek yogurt is even really Greek yogurt, or yogurt at all for that matter. http://www.startribune.com/business/162301436.html unclear if this applies to the 100 calorie version that is new.

Yoplait's yogurt is not Greek yogurt. If you read the ingredients, they add corn starch and other ingredients to thicken it. Real Greek yogurt has most of the whey drained out-- thats what make it thick. Check your labels when you shop. Greek yogurt should pretty much just read milk and live and active yogurt cultures. Of course fruit too if it's added. I make yogurt at home. It's super easy and then I know what's in it!!!

Carbsmart is made by Kroger (Ralph's).

My FAVORITE way to eat greek yogurt is to whip up 2 tbs of Trader Joe's Organic whipped cream cheese with 8 oz of 0% greek yogurt (my personal favorite is Trader Joe's b/c the Protein content is so high). I add a few drops of vanilla extract as well and I sweeten with Splenda. Tastes like cheesecake!!!! I add blueberries or strawberries and then I sprinkle with 1/2 of a crushed graham cracker. It's AMAZING!!! i can never eat it all so I usually split into 2 servings.

Yoplait's 100 Cal Greek yogurt is some of the foulest stuff ive ever put in my mouth. Local store was giving samples and it tasted so chemically and not much different from their regular yogurt. Def didn't have the tang and thickness of real Greek yogurt.

I like Chobani and Fage best. Voskos is a close second.

My personal fave is absolutely Chobani.
