what is the big hype with greek yogurt?

[******** 397]

I guess I could talk to my nut about this but is the nutritional value in greek yogurt better than regular? Suppose that both kinds are fat free and sugar free what is the difference? Plain greek yogurt (without fresh fruit) makes me wanna gag so I have stayed away from it. It also wasnt until recently that it was a big deal.

Greek yogurt has more Protein.

[johnlatte 1,232]

Its a better source of Protein than regular, when you are restricted to soft foods and beyond. Plain does well to add texture to smoothies and is good mixed with fresh fruits (at least to me anyway). I use is as a replacement for sour cream. I don't do sugar free or fat free anything so I can comment on that part of it.

I think people like the fact that it is so high in Protein. A lot of people flavor it with sugar free syrups.< /p>

So I can just get regular and add Protein Powder? Honestly greek yogurt tastes too sour to me

I'm not a fan of the sourness of Greek yogurt but i add 5 tiny drops of stevia vanilla and it totally takes away the sour taste.

Sure, why not?

_{I've never liked it, it tastes like low fat sour cream to me, and that's what I use it for. I have a couple of recipes that call for sour cream and I substitute Greek yogurt instead. My husband on the other hand, started eating it several years ago when I got some and didn't like it....he still eats it for 'dessert' every day after lunch. We buy the plain without fruit or anything and he adds a Stivia and then the adds some Grape Nuts or a little granola of some sort, the SF jelly. Anything like that. If we have a banana, he might add part of a banana. I don't like yogurt at all, I never have, but I did try this stuff. It's all about the texture I think.}

I like it! But it took a minute to get used to it..

I buy the Fage 2% (I don't want total fat free)

And but a little bit of sugar substitute but not to much because I'm starting to like the tangy taste and some frozen blueberries.. Yummy and 20 grams of Protein

Oh and for kicks I looked at the "frozen yogurt"

Section at the store?? Crap, a sham and just part of the advertising scheme to get you to think something is "healthy"

Theres quite a few regular yogurts high in Protein (14 grams), now. I eat chobani because it's the only high protein that comes in blk cherry. I mix it with pineapple cottage cheese.. It's my daily lunch or dinner

I saw on food network that greek yogurt is regular yogurt with the Water removed

Try different brands they all taste a little different but usually have around 2x Protein of regular yogurt. But yes add Protein Powder to anything you want ,I put vanilla cream in coffee for a 25g latte.
