A Yogurt that Tastes Like Yogurt!

Most yogurt these days has as much sugar as a Hersheys bar! This brand has only 12 grams, a ton of protein, and is not whipped and smoothed to the point of insipid pudding character.

It is is quite thick and creamy and rich, like a better version of the old Dannon fruit on the bottom yogurts.
And non-fat to boot!


Smari is good! Plus, it is Icelandic, so it fits the music I love. http://solstafir.bandcamp.com/

Yeah, well, my yogurt is better--I make it myself!!! No sugar added and no pectin either.

And non-fat to boot!

I agree with you on sugar/flavor additives being the scourge of contemporary yogurt. It can be quite difficult to find real 'plain' yogurt.

But the non-fat silliness is just as bad. It's even harder to find real full-fat yogurt, and at my local Whole Foods they literally have no real yogurt in the individual small sizes, all non-fat.

I seldom see full fat in individual sizes, but my local basic supermarket carries Fage, Chobani, Siggi's (skyr) , and others in 2% as well as non-fat. They have at least Fage in full (4%) but in pint and quart sizes.
12g of sugar is high though- is that flavored Brian?

Being unable to find regular yogurt, and plain, is the reason I make it myself.

Nice. Something to consider.

I have no fetish with "non fat" items (I think sugar, especially corn syrup, is the real bete noir in the American diet...as I exemplify! )

But this was so creamy and delicious I don't care that it was non-fat. And not sickly sweet!

Simple Truth, Kroger's organic brand, is pretty good, thick and with lots of sour (in a good way) yogurty flavor. I'm okay with Chobani plain, too. And find my comfort zone at 2 percent ...

I eat the Greek brand Fage, 0%...

I learned to like yogurt years ago in Turkey, yogurt made only from goat milk and eaten only with meat and vegetables, never with fruit or desserts. When we moved to America we found yogurt had become trendy, yogurt made only with cow milk, and eaten only by itself or with fruit or desserts. We discovered we liked to eat cow milk yogurt with fruit, but it just didn't stand up to meat and vegetables, so for years we have always had two yogurt jars in our refrigerator, one for cow milk yogurt and one for goat milk yogurt, which unfortunately isn't always easy to find. (Goats lactate when they want to, not necessarily when you want to buy their milk or yogurt.) Recently we discovered a local farm that sells sheep yogurt, a new experience for me. If this stuff is typical, sheep yogurt is even more delicious than the goat kind, but again it's for eating with meat and vegetables, not with fruit or as a separate dessert.

They add sugar to far too many things - if you look at the ingredients disclosure you'll be surprised http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/sugar ... h-in-sugar

You have to be careful to buy selectively - why would anyone want added sugar in peanut butter, for example, which should have exactly one ingredient - peanuts?
