I've never seen that yogurt here in Canada. The only stuff I see is yoplait, astro, nestle, beatrice, danone. I have yet to find a yogurt I truly love. For now I have Source 0% by yoplait, which is 35 calories and doesn't contain aspartame, which is good, because I don't like the aspartame taste. I wish I could try this greek stuff.
For me, I'd use a mess strainer with a coffee filter inside of it, dump the yogurt in and put it over a glass bowl overnight in the fridge. You can use coffee filters or cheesecloths, doesn't really matter.
Oh my...I also LOVE greek yogurt. But I can only buy one container at a time. I can not control myself around it. It is way too yummy...so if I have more than one container in my frig, I eat them all.
Hey, I wanted to ask you. How many calories do you calculate for each of your almonds? I am asking to check my own method. I must say though you are SO on the right track with the almonds. For me, it's been one of those "magic" foods that have really helped me feel satiated and content throughout this.
Hey TBG: I use sparkpeople to track my food, and they measure 1 almond at 7 calories (cfmama is right!). I do love almonds too! although it is easy to get carried away if I don't count them out.
It's with the regular yogurts, tastes great & a lot more protein, but freakin' EXPENSIVE. I'm going to try Nelie's method tomorrow. Thank you for posting that!!!
I went to three of the four grocery stores in town today looking for Greek Yogurt but none of them had it.
Is it a style or brand? (I think it's style). What brands can you get? Is it a regional thing? Do I have to go to something like Trader Joes? A health food store?

What part of Washington are you in? I used to live in Ellensburg and I could find it at Super One and the health food store. Trader Joes has it as well, in fact, their house brand is really good and cheaper then Fage. It comes in the larger tubs. It's rare to find it in the small containers.
