Best Yogurt Ever! 8-)

[Happy Camper 266]

Hi everyone hope your day went well today! I have found the best greek yogurt ever, in my opinion... I had a hard time early on with plain Greek yogurt and since I am still taking potassium twice a day, I have to open capsules and mix them in food. So I have been trying different yogurts and thought I just simply could not eat Greek when I found "oiko's" fruit at the bottom Greek yogurt by Dannon. Friends once you mix this yogurt it becomes so creamy and yummy!! I had the vanilla, mixed in a squirt of sugar free Raspberry Torani Syrup and added 2 tsp of low fat granola and it was super. Then today, I found strawberry fruit on the bottom...oh my!

The strawberry has 120 cal and 12 grams of Protein, 0 fat. I am so happy to have found these little blue cups!

Wanted to share with you all an option. I purchased these at Fred Meyer for $1.29 ea but, I am certain they are or could be available at large retail stores.

Best to you all,

Agree these r awesome!! Sounds grose, but when I was first able to start soft solids like fish, I grilled salmon but needed it to be mushier/moister. I had one of those Greek yogurts so I mixed in some with my salmon. Not realizing there were blueberries in the bottom of the Greek yogurt!! But guess what!? I loved it!! Sounds sick but it was so delic!! Now I mix in blueberry Greek yogurt with my salmon and love it!! I know how strange that sounds!!

Hey that is how recipes are found, by accident I like the flavor of salmon too much to mix it but I can see how this creamy yogurt could help in the mushy stage!!

Just watch the sugars! Aren't they like 12-14-18g 's of sugar?

Greek Yogurt can be too thick, but I've got a tip for making it creamier: Just add a little Water and stir. I use the Fage 0, which has 23 grams of Protein and 130 calories per cup, and stir in a little Water and some splenda. I like to top it with some berries sweetened with splenda.

what is the greek yogurt?

[hope2Bfitand40 37]

Greek yogurt is higher in Protein that regular yogurt. Don't know if they have it where you are, Sally, but worth looking into.

[sallynew 18]

is it the brick?

is it thicker than yogurt and thinner than cheese

and have taste of yogurt or better

[Happy Camper 266]

New me, yes it does have 18g sugars so that is a good point. Zero fat...good reminder on the sugars thanks. Still REALLY good maybe it is the sugars that make it so yummy?

I have tried several brands and flavors of Greek yogurt and I can't stand the taste of it, or maybe the consistency, I don't know. I tried though!

I love Oikos! It's literally flying off the shelves at my grocery store, though - the last few times I went shopping, they were sold out!

http://www.fageusa.com/products/fage-total-classic/ this is a link to "Fage" plain yogurt. 190 calories, 10 g fat but 8 g sugar. What is better for us? Do we concentrate on fat or sugar?

The Fage turns my tummy, and I was so excited about the oiko's brand type to have found greek yogurt with more Protein that I could eat. I like the 130 calories and 0 fat with oiko's but now the 18 g of sugars has me bothered...what do you all think?

Thanks

I love this yougart....

My thought is the fage is a plain yogurt with the more calories and fat does have less sugar until you add in fruit....then your talking about an extra 2-5grams depending on your fruit choice. IMO I think I would stick with the dannon I already love plus it's only $1 at Walmart
