Where would a person buy Greek yogurt?



Recommended Posts

I live in Austin and have access to HEB, Central Market, Whole Foods, and Walmart. I read a lot of people on here that are having Greek yogurt and am wondering where I can buy some...it must be good. Is it different/better than regular yogurt? I am not a real yogurt fan...sometimes I find it to be too tart/tangy. But if this many people are eating it, it can't be all that bad.

I just saw some in our local grocery store in MI. It was with the other yogurts - all by itself. It was a small container and a bit pricey. I do not think it was flavored. I have only had it with cucumbers in it for a sauce for kabobs.

Whole Foods will have it. My favorite brand is Fage. I get the 0% and add berries and sweet and low to it.

The low fat and total are like eating cream.........it's delicious. Any nice big grocery store will have some if they carry natrual foods. In Ohio I've seen it at Kroger and Giant Eagle.

Bon Apetit.

I also like the fage brand the best. It's hit and miss as to which grocery stores carry it around me - some don't at all, some do but not the plain, nonfat kind, others carry it all. In the grocery stores I usually find it in the refridgerated organic section. My favorite place to get it is at Whole Foods or if I'm visiting family at Trader Joes (unfortunately there is not one in KC) these 2 locations seem to have the best price on the greek yogurt.

I do like yogurt but notice a huge difference in the lack of tang/tartness in the greek yogurt - so hopefully you will enjoy it. I just stir in a couple packets of splenda and some diced fruit into the plain, nonfat version.

I go shopping in the Dallas Whole Foods, HEB, Central Market, and Sprouts. They all have Greek yogurt.

Do they have Sprouts in Austin? LOVE LOVE LOVE Sprouts!

In Houston I've only been able to find the tiny containers for $1.99 but finally found a big container yesterday at HEB Market for $4.99 (it was by all the organic yogurt, they have an entire section). HTH

I can get the Oikos plain, fat free, individual cups at my Wal-Mart, I've seen it and several other brands at HEB Central Market, and I've seen some at either Albertson's or Tom Thumb. I like it better than regular yogurt because it has a thicker consistency and it tastes more real, if that makes any sense at all. :regular_smile:

I don't like yogurt at all for the tart taste of it, is this enough different of a taste that I should try it? Also remind me please, what is the benefit of it over regular yogurt?

I found it at Walmart, they just started carrying it. You might try asking the store manager about getting it.

The greek yogurt has more Protein in it than the regular yogurt. Greek yogurt has more consistancy (sp). I can only find the plain in the large size (4.??) and the smaller size was in vanilla and plain(1.46). I use splenda and fruit in mine.

I buy mine at the Whole Foods Market because I really like the Fage brand. The individual cups have more Protein than the Oikos individual cups although if I'm at Kroger that is closer to me than the WFM I can only get the Oikos brand. They're both good, but I do prefer Fage. I put strawberries, blueberries, raspberries etc... and def. a small amount of granola since it's so high in carbs. I stir in some splenda and mmm good. It's a meal in and of itself and a great snack. Enjoy!!!

If you like a little granola on your yogurt. You might enjoy "Uncle Sam's Cereal". It has no added sugar/sweeteners. So it cuts back on the carb load, but ups the Fiber and adds the crunch you are looking for.

High Fiber Cereal, Whole Grain, Flaxseed-Omega-3's

My Mom and Aunt love the stuff. I am neutral on it. But, it is a nice option to granola, which I would love to eat, but avoid because of the high sugar content.

By the way they sell it at Wal-Mart.

i just called my Walmart here Louisiana he said they carry it so cool

I hope you like it. It tastes like oats to me! However it does have a unique nutty taste to it, and the flax seed adds something to it too.

Like I said, "I am neutral." But, there are a lot of people coo coo for it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
