The thing is that especially the us and European associate different things with greek yoghurt.
For most Europeans it's 10% fat yoghurt for the US it the low fat yoghurt some turkish dude had massive success.

I have to disagree, I think it's absolutely disgusting. The thick gooey nature of it just makes me gag if I even get close to it. I couldn't even imagine trying to eat it, I'd throw up for sure.
You should try eating real skyr. It's fantastic.
Agreed. Breakfast is probably the only meal I keep healthy these days because grabbing Greek Yogurt is so damn easy.
Stop living, OP. The environment.

0% fat yoghurt are horrible and unhealthy as they add fructose/sugar to improve flavor/consistency.
OP's yogurt has 7% sugar, double than any normal Greek yoghurt.

I feel like there are like a half a dozen countries trying to claim thick yogurt.

Yum yum. I can eat it plain... Don't mind some toppings though.
If unflavoured, yes. The flavoured kinds are often very sweet and basically dessert. Check the nutrition box.

Your Greek yogurt has a bunch of added shit in it.
You want to be buying the one that has like one ingredient along with the cultures. You want sweetness? Put your own fruit in.
People think "yogurt is healthy, and I eat it" and it turns out they're eating sugar filled corn syrup shit with added bullshit instead of plain yogurt.

I don't really like the texture. I usually get regular yogurt instead. It tastes fine though.

How does this compare to the OPs? More fat, less sugar.
This is god-tier greek yogurt:
OP: Light & Fit is my go-to daily greek yogurt.
ΦΑΓΕ is the best.
Add in some walnuts and honey and you're in heaven.

Was eating a lot of this but switched over to Bmore Organic Skyr Smoothies. Ton of protein.
Strawberry is my favorite right now with 32g of protein a bottle.
Vanilla has 40g.

Greek yoghurt > Quark > Skyr > Kefir
Obligatory: Oh ew, diet non-fat "yoghurt".
With that out of the way, a nice blob of genuine full-fat Greek yoghurt, sprinkled with some crushed walnuts and topped off with a generous helping of good honey... so delicious. Terribly filling, though. I always want to eat way more than I can actually cram in. Why must stomachs have a capacity limit?!
It's exceptionally annoying to get that as a dessert after gorging on Meze and the main dish. It's just sitting there, tempting you, and you know your stomach will be glued shut if you give in to its siren call. And yet you indulge. Ouzo to the rescue!
I'm hungry. Damn you, CTLance of the past, what shitty timing to go on a diet.
I wanna eat some fried whole Sardines. And Tzatziki with toasted bread sprinkled in herbs and olive oil. I'd even make do with fig ice cream and honey soaked cake. Boo hoo.

I wish I liked Yogurt, and dairy in general for the most part. Always see so many different flavors and pretty containers (Yes I'm a sucker for cute packaging, companies love people like me >_<) but no matter how many I try over the years I just can't come close to even tolerating the taste.

I hate plain greek yogurt but I like the rest. It's definitely a good quick breakfast thing for the lazy.
But vanilla and shit, that's where it's at. Slightly less protein though.
have you tried the flavoured ones? I HATE plain, makes me gag too.

Plain Kirkland Greek yogurt with fresh strawberries and bananas. My breakfast almost every day and I could never get sick of it.

Noosa is where it's at
Plain greek yogurt is a great sour cream replacement. Especially for those of us suffering from lactose intolerance.

And a little bit of olive oil.
We call that Tarator in Albania.
Deliciousness.

Also works great for a ranch dip replacement for buffalo wings.

Has anyone tried rice with yogurt?
As a Greek I use this combination a lot and it's rather satisfying xD,

The one in the OP and all the non-fat ones, no. Full fat, yes. Unfortunately it seems full fat is rare to find. Costco sells like eight brands of yogurt, all 0% fat with a bunch of sugar. You don't want to eat stuff that's just carbs and protein (it's not a high protein diet).

I heard that Grenada is working on a yogurt so thick that getting a spoonful of it is going to be like pulling a wrench out of the mud.
Off topic question: Why are the nutritional values mentioned only per serving? Doesn't that make comparing the products a bit confusing when they use different serving sizes or are the serving sizes standardized?
What I'm used to is having nutritional value both in set amount (100g or 100ml) and per serving on the label. Makes the comparison between products much easier.
Oh and yes, as has been mentioned: fat free and low fat yoghurts are generally inferior alternatives.

Yeah. It's hilarious to be buying bread and see that there are so many grams of sugar in a serving... You assume 2 pieces, right? Nah, some of them, particularly the ones with a shit ton too much sugar, like to say a serving size is a single slice. What a crock.
So you got these breads.. 4 grams i na single slice. I mean, WOW. You may as well drink a soda instead of making yourself what you think is a healthy sandwich.
