Default I am never buying store brand yogurt again

OMG - I just had to share. I've been having store brand plain fat free yogurt and adding fruit to it in an attempt to cut down on aspartame and other chemicals. Then I read the ingredients. It has carageenan and guar gum. Eeewww!

In keeping with being good to my body, I bought some of the Stonyfield Farm fat free plain yogurt, which has 80 calories for 6 oz compared to 150 for 8oz of the store brand stuff.

I tasted the yogurt before I added the fruit and was amazed at the difference. The texture and natural taste were wonderful. It's funny how you get used to something - like yogurt with chemicals and additives - and you just think it's normal until you taste what it should be like.

The Stonyfieldfarms.com website has coupons. Get them. Use them. It is worth the few extra pennies!

The best yogurt by far is this greek brand called FAGE - they sell it at Whole Foods and it is truly amazing. It has like 4 NATURAL ingredients and it is so smooth and cremy. It has about 6 grams of sugar per suerving and something like 13 grams of protein per serving. I HIGLY recommend it.

I do the chemical-filled light yogurts (typically Yoplait or Dannon since there are only a couple flavors I like), but may have to try these healthier versions. Thanks for sharing.
