Not sure if anyone noticed, but Oikos was a sponsor at the US tennis Open. Free samples were distributed throughout the 15 days. I'm an eater of plain yogurt so was not into the blueberry, but did find it funny my sample came with recipes for Tuna Burgers, Tzatziki and Pina Coladas. Yum: tuna+blueberry.

That said, Chobani is my second favorite plan yogurt after Greek Gods.

I bought a tub of the Greek Gods stuff because I wanted to try something cheaper than Fage. Greek Gods was NOT worth the money I saved. It wasn't nearly as thick and had tiny little lumps.

I bought some Oikos which isn't all that much cheaper than Fage, but hopefully is better than Greek Gods.

Fage fat-free plain is potent enough to take the skin off the roof of your mouth, but it's just the foil for baklava fixings -- chopped pecans and honey -- and it's hard to beat a 150-calorie breakfast that's good for you and keeps you satisfied till lunch.

Fage 6oz is about $1.89/ $1.99 at Trader Joes.

Fage is my original favorite. My first love. Because I was eating it every day, sometimes twice a day for a while, I bought 0%. I'm used to the flavor and texture of nonfat now, so it's no sacrifice to me, however after reading so many of you's persuasive reasons for bringing back some of the fat, I may pick up 2% next time I'm at the market.

It's very expensive around here, so my economy substitute - which I agree is not quite the same - is the Trader Joe's Nonfat Greek Plain. I don't get that cement flavor some of you say. It tastes just fine. Actually, not "just fine" - more like "pretty good." I do like to mix in sweet things rather than savory.

One of my favorite yogurt concoctions lately is the greek yogurt with frozen (half thawed) chunks of mango and a sprinkling of a latin product called Piñalinaza which is flaxseed meal with ground pineapple, prickly pear, and various citrus fruits. Sometimes I through some other fruit in there, like strawberries or raspberries.

Skyris is a wonderful Icelandic yogurt--similar to the Greek. Very tasty but very pricey!

When you're eating Greek yogurt everyday, Fage 0%, Oikos 0% and Brown Cow plain are really good, especially IF you have to watch the fat content. Mind you, I'm adding homemade lemon curd (about 1TB) for a delicious substitute for lemon mousse or adding fresh fruit...that goo on the bottom- just doesn't do it for me...
I really like everyone's idea of mixing 0% with 2% for a creamier texture and taste; I'll have to try it.

Fage provides so much yogurt in their containers that all that sour is unpleasant after awhile. People add honey, granola, etc. to this to acheive a balance of flavors. Even the Greeks (the people who invented this) add fruit to their Fage. Everything is better when balanced; that's the whole thought process of a chef when they are in the kitchen. For instance, we pair creamy, salty gorgonzola with spicy-candied walnuts and sweet pear because a balance is acheived; and people love it. Maybe your palate is satisfied by plain Fage, but not mine.

Trader Joe's has a low-fat plain version now and I think it's really good. After running out of honey, I started stirring in a little maple syrup and now I am obsessed. However, I tried the fat-free vanilla that the taste testers liked and I was not a fan - I thought it tasted like very obvious sugar substitute.

barely relevant, but i just moved to florida from upstate new york and oh my GOD, i miss my wegman's.

*tear*

My dairy-loathing son inhales whole containers of Greek Gods honey flavor. I have to hide it if I want to have a dollop for my fruit.

Whatever happened to the Trader Joe's Greek Cheese(like) Yogurt -- the one in the orange-striped tub? Last three times I've been at my local store, there's a big hole in the dairy case where it used to reside. That stuff was the best on top of baked potatoes or a bowl of berries. Sigh.
