greek yogurt?
 

I can't seem to find "greek yogurt" at any of my local grocers....am i missing something???:?:

I can find it at my health food stores and my Walmart has the Oikos brand. Ask your store manager if they can order it for you.

great, thanks so much!

Pooky, I'm in the northeast--our Wegman's grocery store has it in the Nature's Market section. But as Murphmitch explained, Wal*Mart has Oikos as well (and it's cheaper than Fage). It's definitely worth seeking out. So yummy! :T

i will keep looking, but haven't seen it at my walmart or kroger....hmmmm.

That would give you strained yogurt but commercial yogurts like Dannon just don't compare to yogurts such as Fage. If you look at the ingredients of the regular yogurts, they have pectin & other shouldn't-be-in-there things. They are basically pudding w/a few cultures thrown in.

If you look at your Fage container it's just milk (sometimes cream) & active cultures. The way yogurt is supposed to be. mmmm! :)

I know you are using Fage (I use the 2% as I use it in cooking a lot...the 2% & full-fat do not separate) but for others wanting to try out Greek yogurt, try & find the real stuff. A look at the ingredients will tell you. If there's pectin & other stuff, it may just be Greek-style.

p.s. another popular new brand is Chobani. Trader Joe's also has a good one under their name. :)

Trader Joes greek yogurt is great and much cheaper than the Fage. Unfortunately I can only get it when I visit my daughter in Minneapolis.
