Yogurt - Page 2

Chobani or Fage are both very good, and worlds better than that dannon crap. I generally eat the 0% plain, with some granola or grape nuts and strawberries or blueberries. Sometimes I get crazy and put a little honey in too.

The other thing I would check out is goat's milk. I've gotten it at the natural food store in the past, and it is sold with live cultures in it, similar to what is in yogurt. Bit pricey, but tastes good.

This is true for sure. I have been eating and/or making yogurt all my life. That being said, the best yogurt brand I have tried be far is Liberte Yogurt from Quebec. It is sold at Whole Foods among other places. So rich and creamy, it makes Chobani or Fage taste like Dannon. The flavors are all sublime. Flavors I would never buy, I love in this brand. It is a must try for any yogurt lover.

Fage was one I saw mentioned a lot last night when I did a search for best yogurt brands. I"m going to have to look for that and give it a try.

I eat the 0% all the time. Tastes great. I usually eat 1 plain 1 blueberry as a snack. Low Fat, High Protein.

If you go with the standard yogurt, avoid that Activa crap. I tried that a few days in a row and it led to me sitting on the toilet having some "oily" issues.

No. Yogurt is yogurt because of lactobacillus, a bacteria. Cheese is fresh milk curdled with an acid, then for the ripened cheeses (blue, brie, camerbert, etc) it is exposed to mold spores which are then allowed to colonize and grow.

Not sure where yogurt cheeses fit into the picture though.

I eat yogurt every day for breakfast. I can't find anything offensive about it, except for dannon light and fit, which tastes like chemicals. I actually think the best stuff I've found has been the meijer brand light yogurt. I think it has good flavor and it is lighter in sugar, which is something you have to watch out for in full strength stuff. Some regular yogurts are like drinking a can of coke in the morning.

Activia isn't bad either, but it has a lot of sugar and comes with a very small serving size - that might be right up your alley though. As for the claimed health benefits from activia, I didn't notice anything. Maybe that's why they only advertise with chicks (other than the hermi Jamie Lee Curtis)

What about making a fruit smoothie with yogurt in the blender? As long as the yogurt is in there for the bacteria content, you can add about anything esle you want to mask the flavor.

Ok, now I hear some wisdom. Mixed up with a bit of vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, this could be doable.

I usually eat the Fage yogurt. It tastes really good especially when you mix in the side that comes with it. Honey is the best flavor IMO.

Dummy me, I've been buying Fage for a while. Their Greek style is great for when I'm making gyros at home.

Chobani has been mentioned a couple of times. We will never go back to the 'mainstream' yogurts after trying this.

Gonna have to check out Fage too!

+1 for Chobani!
