I also found some Greek yogurt frozen bars at costco. I bought them, but have yet to try them.

I've seen them being offered as samples at costco but have never tried one. Thank you for the suggestion!

I'm a HUGE Chobani Greek yogurt fan!

Thank you for the tip! I am hopeful I will acquire the taste for Greek yogurt. The next time I go shopping, I will be taking a cooler with me so I can try a wide variety.

I was very hesitant to try Greek yogurt. I'm not a fan of trying new things and I just didn't want to. But the sugar and carbs and calories in regular yogurt, plus the lack of Protein, made me just suck it up and try it.

I really like the Chobani Greek yogurt, but I almost gagged the first time I ate it....kind of weird feeling and so sour/tart. Not good at all. So I stirred it up really good, and I added a packet of Splenda, and it was much better. Then I added the Kashi Go Lean Crunch and it was my new favorite snack!

I know in the mushy stage you can't have the fruit or the Cereal, but if you try the plain and add Splenda, maybe even 2 packs if you need it (shhh...don't tell anyone I suggested that), then you can also add some other sort of flavor, like Crystal Light or sugar free Jello mix, or maybe blended up strawberries. Yum...making myself hungry.

And I can find it at any grocery store, Walmart, etc. Just varies on the flavor. BTW, my FAVORITE is lemon. Yum.

My nutritionist said that the plain is the best to get.. ideas... add some vanilla and cinnamon... or some organic / no sugar baby food like peach, or what ever you like, add a spoonful an mix it in.

She also added that low fat riccotta cheese is ok, if you add vanilla, cinnamon, and some sweetner it will tast like cannoli cream..

Fage is my favorite Greek yogurt!!! The non-fat is great and they have flavored fat-free with honey, blueberry, strawberry, pomegranate and some new tropical type flavors.

It takes a while to get used to. I would always put a tablespoon of Syntrax Nectar Protein Powder in my Fage 2%.

Syntrax nectar is seriously the most amazing Protein powder I have had. cheapest place to buy it is mybariatricpantry.com (no they don't pay me... wish they did so I could have every damn flavor!)

If you can get or make some fruit purée, that goes great with Greek yogurt (with a little sweetener). I stumbled upon at work and I love it. I know not everyone's work carries Greek yogurt with 3 choices of purée. Honestly, I don't even know how to make purée, but its worth learning. I use strawberry and it masks the taste of the greek yogurt and goes down smoothly.

I'm a HUGE Chobani Greek yogurt fan!

EVERY flavor of Cho makes me happy.

My current favorites are the Passion fruit and the Pomegranate, I love the little pop of the seeds in there.

Raspberry, Peach and the Apple Cinnamon Flavors are wonderful too.

I DO always put a little packet of splenda or a bit of agave nectar in each cup to up the sweetness a bit or I have been known to put a teaspoon of sugar free Jam in with a particular flavor. I tried adding some Protein powder to my yogurt, ugh, will never do that again, also tried it in my oatmeal, horrid. lol. Lesson learned the hard way.

Anyway, some sugar free jam in a plain yogurt would be good, I also liked the suggestion above to add some sugar free pudding powder into it for flavor.

Thanks for all of the great ideas! No place in my town stocks Chobani, but I bought some at costco over the weekend. I put a packet of Splenda in it, and it tastes wonderful!

I had thought about adding some Protein powder as well, so I appreciate knowing this isn't a good idea, TracieCat.

Hey you never know, you might like it. The nurse at my Lapband Doc's office was the one that recommended putting it in the yogurt or oatmeal. Obviously not a good idea for me personally but some may enjoy it.

Let us know how those yogurt frozen bars are when you try them. Thanks

I tried the blueberry flavor, and have to say it did not do it for me. They are not bad, but not my idea of a treat.

FAGE brand 2% plain. 150 calories, 20 grams Protein per serving. You can mix in some splenda and/or any of the Torani sugar free syrups. YUM!

I second the motion to stay away from Protein powder and oatmeal. I tried it and it was HORRIBLE. I'm here to tell the world.
