Too Good to be Good for You?????

I HATE yogurt!!!  I doctor up FAGE Greek Yogurt sometimes and I can get it down but I add so many extra calories doctoring it up  that I'm not sure it's worth it and I'm probably not getting any benefit other than I feel like I'm eating a dessert.

This is the Nutrition Facts for the Dannon Light & Fit Greek Yogurt.  The girls at work convinced me to try it and I was shocked how good the blueberry one was.  They said the pineapple is even better. I know the Protein total is lower than the FAGE but I rarely eat a whole container of FAGE  and I didn't have any trouble getting this whole container down.

What's your Opinion?

I found some strawberry at Walmart and I loved it but I can't find it anymore.  I don't care for the vanilla flavor they have but I agree, it is the best Greek yogurt I have found.  160 calories from 2 containers and 24 grams of protein isn't bad for me.  That is about how many calories I get when I drink a protein shake.  I am sick of doctoring up plain yogurt, too.

The girls at work get theirs at Wal-mart but I got mine at the grocery store.  They said the pineapple is their favorite.  I guess they have peach too which would probably be a hit with me.

Doesn't sound too bad.  If you have a Kroger or Safeway by you, they also have a CarbSmart yogurt - which I find to be very good. 

I Dr up my plain greek yogurt with my Nectar fruity proteins and OH YUM!  Makes it real smooth and creamy.  I use about a half a scoop - extra protein - which you KNOW is good for you!

sorry about the formatting...

I rarely even look at the yogurts because usually just the thought of it turns me off but I will look and see if we have anything called Carb Smart.

I love the blueberry.  Didn't try the other flavors.  I used to put splenda and fruit in my plain greek yogurt anyway.

I have been having this every night between supper and bed.

Their website says they have peach too and I love peach anything.  I was afraid it would make me have to run to the bathroom but it didn't seem to bother me.

I made up my mind that nothing could make me like yogurt!   This is so good that I thought maybe they had hidden ingrediants...LOL
