Greek Yogurt!! What kind do you eat and what brand name??

I got the fruit on the bottom Dannon Creek yogurt and I must say it was different!!  Kind of yucky at first.  Tasted like I was eating toothpaste/sour cream.   Towards the end of the cup I was liking it a little better.   Just wonder what flavor and/or bands you guys are eating.....

I have a few brands of Greek yogurt that I like best. I usually eat the fat free, plain flavor and then add in 3 Tbsp of granola and 1/2 cup of fruit.

Chobani, Fage and Stoneyfield are my top 3 "real" Greek Yogurts. 

I've tried the Dannon and Yoplait Greek yogurts and do not like them as much. Real Greek Yogurt are natuarlly thick and creamy because it's strained, which = a higher protein content because the milk is in such a concentrated form and a really creamy texture.  Dannon and Yoplait use special thickening agents and added protein to make their yogurts. In my opinion this really alters the taste and texture negatively.  To me they are just not as good as the chobani, fage and stoneyfield, but they are quite a *****eaper.

I just checked the nutrition info on the Dannon again and found their plain variety does not contain any extra ingredients -- just milk and yogurt cultures. If that's what you are looking for.

Trixie - thanks for the info.  where do you buy the chobani, fage and stoneyfields at?

I live in the Midwest, Meijer is big here so I get them at that store. I have found that the nicer stores in more expensive areas tend to carry the biggest selection of flavors and sizes and brands of these yogurts. The stores in poorer areas don't have much in the way of greek yogurt -- at least in my area.

I LOVE the Chobani 0% fat with blueberries. I have it every morning and I add in 1/4 cup of Kashi cereal. Delicious!!
I tried the Trader Joe's brand and threw it away.
Good luck finding one you like.

I use chioboni and at walmart, Stoney field oikos . I personally do not like the fruit ones. I buy vanilla and mix fresh or frozen berries to it. I also buy yoplia light yogurt and mix it with the greek plain yogurt, half and half. I don't really like sugar free but, cutting it down with the plain greek works for me.

I love the new Chobani Strawberry Banana flavor  and Oizko Strawberry.  YUM!

This Brown Cow brand is my favorite. Ive compared it to some of the others at the store and it seems to have more protein and less calories than some of the other brands. I like to add a tsp of honey and a packet of splenda. If Im really hungry I may add a little Kashi Go Lean Crunch. I have yet to find a good Greek yogurt that didnt need a little fixin up.

I eat CARBMASTER brand, it has I think 4 carbs and 12 protein. Peach and straw/banana.

The Fage brand of greek yogurt is very thick, only comes in plain, has 110 cal for 8 oz and 20g protein-highest protein of any brand. I add splenda and fresh strawberries and or blueberries and sometimes sprinkle a tablespoon of granola on it if its my breakfast. Safeway stores carry it now.
