Greek Yogurt

[Reesha]

When I make yogurt, I use Fage as the starter and it sometimes comes out lumpy, but a whiz through the food processor takes care of that. It also winds up being whipped and fluffy when it gets strained.

Greek Gods yogurt isn't real greek yogurt. It is just regular yogurt that is thickened to have the same consistency as greek yogurt. Look at the nutritional info...GG yogurt has only 8g of protein per cup and fage has 20g of protein per cup.

Don't care. The honey one is like crack...and fantastic with strawberries.

I still think Fage plain non-fat is the best, with Chobani plain 0% running a close second. Both Fage & Chobani don't have that nasty bitter/sour taste that some of the non-real greek yogurts (Yoplait, Dannon, etc.) do. I've tried 'em all, and I always come back to Fage & Chobani...which are also unfortunately, the most expensive....but if I'm lucky, I can find Fage on sale for 4/$5, and sometimes Chobani for $1. Off sale, they both run about $1.50 per single serve container.

I assume you mean with actual strawberries, but have you tried the GG Honey/Strawberry flavor? OMG. I just discovered it this week (on sale at our food co-op), and YUM! "Authentic" or not, it's freakin' amazing.

Flybye they were handing out sample tastes of Greek Gods at the grocery store and I behaved quite shamefully. Yummy.

GG is very good...just annoys me that they market themselves as authentic greek yogurt when they are not...

When I did the San Antonio Rockn'Roll half marathon, fage was there handing out stacks of $1 off coupons. I swear the guy gave me a stack 1/2 inch thick, hubs and I have used them all though.

Try fage with udi granola and honey, OMG!

My absolute FAVORITE greek yogurt parfait, is 2% fage, honey, bob's red mill granola, peanut butter and bananas. Oh mannnn.

I'll have to try it. Does it have the jam-like goop in it, or something else?

No jam, no goop, just flavor.

YAY! We picked some up from Kroger today. I'm resisting the urge to stick my face into it until AFTER dinner.
