Greek yogurt will do in a pinch,but my fave is an Australian yogurt called Noosa. The strawberry rhubarb is yummy!

I absolutely LOVE Fage o% plain. Tastes like sour cream and I can add whatever I like. Serious yum.

I just read that Greek Yogurt has 5X more protein than regular yogurt! It is the only one my husband will eat and he loves the black cherry one. So do I!

Greek Yogurt does have the higher protein and lower sugar IF ou buy the plain yogurt. Buying the ones with added fruit cancels out the lower sugar.

I have been on Nutrisystem for over 3 years. Greek yogurt is a staple on the plan. Plain. Greek Yogurt was an acquired taste for me. I always add cinnamon for flavor. Read the ingredient labels to compare sugar a and protein grams. 12 grams of protein r more is ideal. Add fresh fruit vs. the sugary mix the mfg. adds if you are watching sugar intake.

I make my own and we eat it lots of different ways. I use it in some things instead of sour cream. Mine comes out really thick like cream cheese, so have used it in frosting recipes instead of cream cheese. Yummmm

Sewnbug I make my own Greek yogurt too. Greek yogurt means the yogurt is thicker and creamier, just like homemade yogurt has always been. It's simple and I can make a quart for less then the cost of one single serve container. I started making it when my youngest had to eat yogurt every day for her stomach. No probiotics easy to find OTC then. I make my own cream cheese from the yogurt. It's creamy and so delicious. Nothing like the block you find in the store.

Fage band is the only one I buy. And only plain. Tried all the others! Wonderful plain, substitute sour cream, with fruit or honey and granola. Yummy. O% edible, 2% wonderful, regular is almost sinful!
