SleeveDreamer 383 Posted December 7, 2011 What is so special about Greek yogurt? I have tried so many brands and flavors and cannot stand it! I love other yogurts though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxbins 625 Posted December 7, 2011 Greek yogurt has lots more Protein than other kinds. Have you tried Fage? it's really good and I am not a yogurt lover. I used to put a Splenda packet in mine because it wasn't sweet enough (thank you Yoplait!) but now I eat it without. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UXgrrl 29 Posted December 8, 2011 Yeah, Greek yogurt is popping up all over now, it's become quite the trend. I sweeten it too, when I eat it straight, because it's pretty tart. I eat Fage 0% (fat free) and actually have used it instead of sour cream on tacos, etc pre surgery (I'm lactose intolerant but I can handle yogurt). It's great with fruit, granola, flavored syrups, etc. We always have some in the fridge. It has a really nice, thick texture which feels substantial. It's not watery like the typical stuff you buy from Yoplait. If you're buying Greek yogurt with fruit or something added, you have to be careful and watch the added sugar because it can be quite high. Incidentally, Fage is pronouced "fah-yay". Don't call it "***", like my partner's mom's boyfriend did (basically my defacto father in law), in front of my partner and I. He immediately turned red when he realized what he did.

SleeveDreamer 383 Posted December 8, 2011 Maybe it is the consistency i don't care for. I will try the Fage! Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sassycruiser 5 Posted December 24, 2011 My dietician said it was okay to eat Fage with honey. Its actually really good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jbauti12 8 Posted December 27, 2011 My nutritionist told me to mix dry ranch dressing with nonfat plain greek yogert and use it as a veggie dip. I am hooked. I actually craved it. Weird, because I am one that does not like any kind of yogert at all. 1 UXgrrl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LBM 14 Posted December 27, 2011 Different strokes. I love Greek yogurt. It is less slimey and more like real food! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mandylala12 1 Posted December 28, 2011 I actually tried the Greek yogurt for the first time tonight and was pleasantly surprised. I took my dietitian's advice and added a shot or two of the MIO drink mix to mine. It was very doable. I want to try the ranch mix, though, now! Gotta hold off until I can have raw veggies again. 1 jbauti12 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
