I *think* that's what I tried..maybe I just picked a bad flavor or something...the texture was great.

Chobani ROCKS! and Fage!! (to also answer your question Catt - and the girls love it too)
I buy the nonfat plain and put walnuts and SF syrup on it (can't have the sugar right now) or dip green apples in it! :yum: It has 15 -18g of protein and 0g of fat per serving! :banana: And it tastes like dessert!

I go through too much "dog yogurt" to use that stuff. :lol: I just buy what's on sale in the plain, fat-free type. We use two of the 32 ounce containers a week.

I love it with granola too and/or fresh berries. I buy Chobani in Giant. The past couple of weeks they've been on sale!

I get mine at Giant. Over the last year, I've tried all the others to see if I liked their taste but sooo many of them are loaded with sugar. Dannon is ok but developed a boring taste after a while. Giant brand is too plain. Chobani is the best I've found (IMHO) because of the lack of fillers and the abundance of active cultures. The less ingredients, the better for you. Very creamy! The vanilla and the honey ones are so-so and have a chalky taste but the blueberry, strawberry & peach ones are my favorites.

I was in Super Walmart last night and saw Stonyfield Farms had small cups of plain, organic, Greek oikos yogurt. It was $1.49 for the little cup. It is very thick and creamy, but I'm not so sure I like it. I normally eat plain FF yogurt and mix in a banana for breakfast, but this is kinda hard to get down. :lol: It's just so thick. I added a touch of honey, and it's a little better.

Stony Fields was recommended by Men's Health magazine so I tried it and it is:barf: I don't know why but, as you said, it is hard to get down. I only bought one to try and thank God I did.
It seems that I've tried them all and, so far, Chobani is the one I'll stick with for now.
I tried the Danon "drinkable" ones and they're pretty good but I lost my taste for them after a while.

I started out with Fage, so in addition to the 10 or so Chobanis that I bought, I picked up a couple of the Fages too. They definitely lost out to Chobani yogurt. :yay: I hope I don't lose my taste for it. I know I need to find alternative additions though - to make it continually pleasant.

Never heard of Fage:shrug:
Why does everything that is good for us have to taste bad??? (and vice versa)!
Even with Chobani their vanilla is kinda, YUCK! Now I'd probably eat bugs with vanilla on them because I love anything vanilla but the Chobani vanilla is chalky tasting.
Also, I spoke to the Giant manager and asked him why they find it necessary to introduce a new product and then stop selling it temporarily? They did this with Propel flavored water in the 2 flavors that I like. The reason I asked him was that I'm afraid they will do the same thing with this Greek yougurt.
As Kris said earlier, my favs are the peach & strawberry ones.

Giant has done away with soooo many things I've depended on them for, it's ridiculous. I've written customer service card to no avail. But, :shrug: whattaya going to do?

Okay, I'm a fan :yay:
BJ's had the flavored and plain Chobani, so I bought some of each. Definitely better than regular yogurt, and surprisingly filling for that little cup. This morning's breakfast was an egg, 2 egg whites and a dollop of the plain yogurt, beaten and scrambled with omelet mix (broccoli, turkey, mushrooms, garlic).
OMG, it was so good!

Greek yogurt is hard to find and not every store carries it. I like it better than normal yogurt. Try marinading chicken in it, along with some seasoning. Delicious!

Try substituting the plain Greek yogurt for sour cream. Because it is so think and creamy, the replacement is almost unnoticeable. Plus, you get the benefit of the extra protein!
Dips....use Greek yogurt
Baked potato.....use Greek yogurt
Cream cheese frosting....use Greek yogurt
It's all good. :drool:

I was thinking this as I was trying to choke it down when I tried it. :lol: I need to find a different brand or something.

But if I eat it as a "pretend sour cream", I find it easier to eat.
Oh, also try some Greek yogurt mixed with a teaspoon or so of sugar-free preserves. Low fat, low sugar, and high protein. I also thin it with a little milk, and it tastes great.

I also add almond butter (you would probably use creamy peanut butter) and a dash of honey and use it for a celery dip! OH MY GOSH! :yum:

Not sure if anyone else has a Costco card but I was there last weekend and they now have greek yogurt there. A large container either 32 or 36 ounces (cant remember for sure) was $5.49.

I can't believe this! I was bragging about how much I liked Chobani and now I've apparently lost my taste for it. I guess having 1-2 each day just got old. I, now, seem to have a hard time "choking it down" so now I'm looking again. Even though most yougurts today are low fat or fat free, they're all sooo high in sugar. Chobani has 19g which isn't much but still.
I tried Activa (the drinkable kind and the regular kind) and they're so so.
I'm trying Yoplait this week to see how it fares. It has half the sugar and not too bad of a taste so far. Why does everything that is good for you have to taste soo bad??!!! (and vice-versa).
