Favorite Yogurt?

[Captain Catnip]

I always bought Oikos blended Greek yogurt, but they no longer make it except for a few flavors that i don't care for; it seems they only have triple zero and protein versions now. I've tried Chobani but it feels gritty to me or something. I just don't like the texture. Any recommendations on a creamier greek yogurt?

I love Noosa. I eat the raspberry, lemon and blueberry.

I loooove fage with the little side carton of fruit. It's very creamy (both full fat and 2%)

[beerlover]

We don't have a lot of options here. We do have Fage though and I like it. I buy the 0% nonfat because I'm doing WW, but I love the 2%.

[starburst604]

I like Fage and the Trader Joe's brand. I only like plain though so I don't know how their flavors are but they're very creamy.

[Patsy Baloney]

Fage 2%. I feel you on the “gritty” texture, and the 2% is super smooth. I’m not much of a yogurt eater and this gets the job done for me.

[mrsjuleshs]

Oui is my favorite. They have a mocha and chocolate one that is my favorite.

[gummybear]

Oh! Another option if you have it. Aldi makes a GREAT Greek Yogurt. I'd say it's on par with Fage. I've only had the full fat but it's up there with the best I've tried, and it's way cheaper than everything else. As far as flavoring, we buy plain and I make my won compote (I boil frozen fruit of your choice, a bit of sweetener of your choice, and a splash of cold water with corn starch).

I eat plain Fage 2% and mix it with homemade granola. I went through a lot of varieties before landing here.

[Captain Catnip]

I guess I'm going to look like a weirdo creating my own yogurt sampler 🤣 fage sounds like it may work though.

[goldengirlz]

My favorite is Siggi’s (which is Icelandic) but it’s expensive. I usually buy Fage because it’s a better deal. (I get the nonfat plain.)

[cap]

I get the Costco plain Greek yogurt and then add berries, banana, and a little bit of granola for crunch. I don't like any of the flavored yogurts because I think they're all too sweet.

[litebright]

Man, I was hoping that the Oikos thing was supply-chain related. My kids and DH regularly eat the whole-milk blended for breakfast with granola, and I haven't been able to find them for a few weeks. We go through a lot of that yogurt -- I have one kid who doesn't eat a lot of dairy other than yogurt, another who could use the fat and DH who works out a lot and prefers the full-fat versions. It's hard to tell but it also looks like maybe they're no longer offering the key lime & lemon flavors? Those are my family's favorite flavors, so this is a bummer.

DH's other go-to is Noosa (which has lemon), and the kids also like Activia.

For flavored I like the Siggis and Trader Joes brand (the TJs whole milk vanilla bean is so delicious) 

I usually buy the Wegmans brand plain (5%) or the Fage 2% and add my own fruit, honey/maple syrup, granola etc. to flavor it. 

[jinkies]

I have recently discovered painterland sisters yogurt and am hooked. It is Icelandic yogurt though, not Greek. But super super creamy, and also lactose free which is great for me. Blueberry lemon is my favorite.

I do also like Noosa.

[lessel]

Cabot!! I like their plain just fine, but the 2% vanilla is heaven. It has sugar, but no more than other brands, and man, it's almost like a bowl of ice cream.

(They also have a 10% one that is intense. It was way too rich/thick for me.)

Agreed, when I feel bad about how much Noosa costs I balance it out with Aldi because it's really good. I like the mixed berry and tropical fruit ones.

[dexteroni]

I’m also a Fage fan. It was the first Greek yogurt I ever tried, then as other brands came out I would try them, but none were ever as good. I buy plain, and eat it with granola or fresh berries. If I want a flavor, I’ll occasionally buy a Oui or Siggi’s; neither are Greek, but both are good. But my go to is always Fage.

[Velar Fricative]

Fage, full fat only. Nothing else compares, IMO.

[Susie]

Cabot is my favorite. I also like Fage full fat, Greek Gods, and Noosa.

This exactly, except we get the Fage full fat.

[jane6672]

Fage 5%

[janegold]

Fage full fat.

[VillainV]

My Food Lion sells a brand called Greek Gods. It doesn’t have the tart tang (which I dislike) and is very smooth. I buy the plain full-fat version. I don’t know why, but I just don’t like fat-free yogurts.

[doctoranda]

I am not super particular about yoghurts but some I have tried that you may like are Wallaby, Greek Gods, and the Trader Joe's.

[gastro]

I like Siggi’s skyr, Icelandic Provisions, and Greek Gods. The Greek gods I treat like dessert.

[ny96]

Liberte is my favorite individual yogurt, and I love Trader Joe’s full fat Greek yogurt mixed with granola and fruit.

[Nonny]

For Greek, I want Fage 5% if I can get it, but I'll settle for 2%. This is a must for tzatziki. 

For cream top, I go with Brown Cow.

For fun flavors I'll go with Chobani Flips, Noosa, and Ellenos (we can get seasonal Ellenos at Costco in big tubs, and the pumpkin pie flavor was fantastic).

My MIL really likes the honey flavored Zoi, but I think it has a weird texture if you don't stir it like crazy, and I don't think the flavor is that great. I usually leave the leftover tubs for my H to eat, because I don't want it. I'm also going to go against the grain and say that I absolutely hate Trader Joe's yogurt. Maybe it's changed in the past few years, but every time I've ever bought, I always think there is something gross about the underlying flavor (no matter the flavor I buy).

[orangello]

If you ever find Ellenos, give it a try. Absolutely delicious. Otherwise, I’m a Fage loyalist.

[darby]

I love Ellenos, especially the mango flavor, & Greek Gods. All their flavors are delicious, but honey or honey strawberry tastes best to me.
