Greek yogurt ! Help



Recommended Posts

Ok so I've always loved Greek yogurt , but always get fruit flavors , it never even crossed my mind , until after surgery , that's I couldn't have those because of the sugar. I can't even stand the plain, it's so sour, like instant gag! Anyone have any ideas! I can only stomach the vanilla, but as this is not as good for me as the plain!!! Help!!!

Have you tried the Fage 0% greek yogurt? I felt the same as you, but love this particular variety and brand.. You could put a pack of sweetener in the yogurt if you needed that.

I also like to mix this yogurt with fresh fruit. The fruit gives it a great, sweet taste.

I eat Chobani or Fage plain Greek yogurt and flavor it with Torani SF syrups or Protein powders. Your flavor choices and level of sweetness are nearly endless with no added sugar.

I also like mixing it with fresh fruits....peaches, strawberries, blueberries, mangos, etc. more suger, but not as bad as the pre sweetened/flavored ones.

Have you tried Dannon light and fit? Their carb count is not high and they come in a lot of great flavors. Also, Yoplait now has some that are low carb count, I believe around 8 carbs.

I too think the Fage is smoother and not as sour. I've mixed in sweetener packets, Torani SF Syrup, unsweetened preserves (I get Smuckers-blueberry or strawberry). I've mixed in Protein powder too which can be yummy. Since I'm a little further out, I have also mixed in some fresh fruit. Lately I've been on a Dannon light & fit greek vanilla kick

Hi -- Choboni 100 has the fruit flavors, but lowest sugar of all the flavored and still has the Greek style extra Protein. Whenever they're on sale for 10 for $10, I stock up. Now, at only 2 ounces per meal, one cup will last a long time!

I sprinkle a little sugar-free Jello over it. You can also add things like Splenda and there are stevia flavors you can buy. I've mainly seen them online (Amazon) but I haven't tried them yet.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
