The vanilla is the best.Chobani is nasty to me, not thick enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-greek-yogurt/page/2#post-1240202 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 21:13:08 +0000 Greentea 1240202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loove it! I buy Stonyfield and add local maple syrup. So good! They also sell it in smaller packs as a chocolate on the bottom one and it is delicious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-greek-yogurt/page/2#post-1240194 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 21:03:43 +0000 regberadaisy 1240194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: oh Yum. Going to try that tomorrow morning for LO and I. </p> <p>@Mamaof2: found it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-greek-yogurt/page/2#post-1234858 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 21:59:22 +0000 SupernovaJ 1234858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love greek yogurt, but my absolute favorite is goat's milk yogurt. I yogurt everyday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-greek-yogurt#post-1234584 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 20:23:39 +0000 Mae 1234584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat it bc of protein. I buy the plain 2% and make as follows (trust me, is DELICIOUS): </p> <p>Take 1/2 cup frozen blueberries and put them in a bowl, then microwave for 30 seconds. They defrost and also release a ton of juice. Then mix in 3/4 cup greek yogurt. Add with 1-2tspn honey or maple syrup to sweeten, then mix it all up really well. Then top with 1/4 cup of slivered almonds. </p> <p>I love this for breakfast because it is a ton of protein, good fat, calcium, antioxidants, and not very much added sugar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-greek-yogurt#post-1234573 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 20:20:19 +0000 Beehive 1234573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate all yogurt, especially Greek yogurt because it has more of the thick sour dairy taste that I don't like! But LO loves it, which is fantastic because it has lots of protein and calcium for him. So he gets full fat Fage all the time, with chopped up fruit mixed in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-greek-yogurt#post-1234471 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 19:51:31 +0000 Beebug 1234471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm shocked no one has brought this up:</p> <p><a href="http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/05/28/waste-from-greek-yogurt-can-be-toxic/" rel="nofollow">http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/05/28/waste-from-greek-yogurt-can-be-toxic/</a></p> <p><a href="http://modernfarmer.com/2013/05/whey-too-much-greek-yogurts-dark-side/" rel="nofollow">http://modernfarmer.com/2013/05/whey-too-much-greek-yogurts-dark-side/</a></p> <p><a href="http://eatocracy.cnn.com/2013/06/12/whey-ing-greek-yogurts-environment-impact/" rel="nofollow">http://eatocracy.cnn.com/2013/06/12/whey-ing-greek-yogurts-environment-impact/</a></p> <p>I can't get over how much milk it takes to make 1 oz of greek yogurt, and the acid waste. Greek yogurt has been aweeeesome for the industry, but long term the waste part is crazy, and pigs can't cover it all up for us, lol. </p> <p>For this reason, I don't touch it and stick to regular yog! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-greek-yogurt#post-1234352 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 19:23:36 +0000 sarac 1234352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just discovered chobani's flip yogurts - flavored yogurt with granola/nuts/chocolate that mixes in. Seriously, they have changed my life. I'm a super picky eater, and it's hard for me to get a good amount of protein. These have SO much protein for the calories and for how full it makes me feel - they're amazing! They've really helped me with losing weight because I stay full so long.</p> <p>I promise that I was not paid anything to come post this. Sheesh, I sound like a commercial. But seriously! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-greek-yogurt#post-1234162 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 18:23:20 +0000 Boheme 1234162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: Have you tried a few different brands? I love some, hate others. I like Fage and Oikos. HAAAAATE Kroger store brand and Chobani. Do. Not. Want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-greek-yogurt#post-1234028 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 17:28:24 +0000 BSB 1234028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found this local Greek yogurt place. So much better than the stuff I used to buy. </p> <p>Ellenos in Seattle. Yum! Just amazing. They make this passion fruit and lemon curd one that is just wonderful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-greek-yogurt#post-1232557 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 12:43:26 +0000 regberadaisy 1232557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: we just had one open up so I'll check there.

I don't like how sweet flavored yogurts are, reg or greek.</p> <p>@bpcmarj: The Whole Foods here has quite a few flavors of Fage greek yogurt. They have the smaller cups or the larger tubs. I get the tubs so that LO and I can both use it for breakfast for a few days :) Yumm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-greek-yogurt#post-1232078 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 10:38:14 +0000 pl0508 1232078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think its the protein? Have you ever tried the Fage brand? OMG yum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-greek-yogurt#post-1232059 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 10:32:26 +0000 Dandelion 1232059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Greek yogurt tastes too sour for me. I just have never been able to embrace it. I know it would be a good option for a gestational diabetes diet, but I just don't like it. If I add anything to it, it'll just defeat the purpose of it for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-greek-yogurt#post-1232054 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 10:30:43 +0000 bpcmarj 1232054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: Thanks! I am looking for LO because I think she would love it, but needs the higher calories :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-greek-yogurt#post-1232050 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 10:27:43 +0000 rawrasaur 1232050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My issue isn't the texture, it is the flavor! I have not tried a greek yogurt that I could stand. I only like a few regular yogurts as well. I just don't eat a whole lot of yogurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-greek-yogurt#post-1232005 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 10:18:21 +0000 Honeydew 1232005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At first I hated greek yogurt, but now I've grown to really like and and love it. I would start with the Oikos brand it seems to be the least texturally different than the "reg" yogurt. I also like the Mueller brand especially with the carmelized almonds. Yum.</p> <p>Fage is great too, but only until you've become accustomed to the greek yogurt and texture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-greek-yogurt#post-1232001 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 10:17:27 +0000 pui 1232001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It has waaay more protein. I also love the texture, it's thick and creamy while regular yogurt is sort of runny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-greek-yogurt#post-1232000 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 10:17:09 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1232000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bpcmarj: I buy mine at trader joes. You have to find one that doesn't say low fat or 0% fat. It has a lot of calories, but also lots of protein...it is a great substitution for sour cream if you only want a little :) I also feed it to LL because of the higher fat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-greek-yogurt#post-1231994 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 10:15:57 +0000 lindseykaye 1231994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: Try a few different brands if you want to get into it. Some are more tangy and others more sweet, some are thick and stiff with others more creamy. You might find one you really like (or can like enough to get by!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-greek-yogurt#post-1231985 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 10:13:43 +0000 doodlepoodle 1231985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow I love this!!! So much info...all on yogurt! :) thanks dudes!!! I guess I see the benefits in Greek yogurt, I'll go back to choking it down ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-greek-yogurt#post-1231975 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 10:10:25 +0000 bpcmarj 1231975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lindseykaye: Thanks for the info! I am going to look for it now :) I think she could feed herself easier with the thicker texture! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-greek-yogurt#post-1231971 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 10:09:25 +0000 fancyfunction 1231971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like yogurt but I've been giving M plain Fage Greek yogurt mixed with fruit purees and she likes it. I can find the full- fat ones at Whole Foods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-greek-yogurt#post-1231967 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 10:08:44 +0000 lindseykaye 1231967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bpcmarj: It's the Dannon Oikos brand - they have both nonfat and what they call 'traditional' so it doesn't say full fat, but based on the nutrition info, it looks to be full fat to me (comparing to yobaby). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-greek-yogurt#post-1231819 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 09:35:08 +0000 Alivoo01 1231819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a fan of greek yogurt on its own so I always put some type of fruit in it. I use it frequently for cooking though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-greek-yogurt#post-1231790 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 09:30:12 +0000 Mrsjets 1231790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've seen the strawberry Liberte Greek yogurt with 17%MF - only in the tub though, not in single servings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-greek-yogurt#post-1231789 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 09:30:11 +0000 Mamaof2 1231789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I got some at Trader Joes!</p> <p>I love greek yogurt for the taste and the protein content! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-greek-yogurt#post-1231775 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 09:26:04 +0000 regberadaisy 1231775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bpcmarj: I can NEVER find full fat either.

The only full fat kind I can ever find is the yoBaby or yoToddler kind... </p>
