Love plain Fage and mix it with so many things. Love to mix it with salsa on a baked potato, and use it as a dressing too.

Fage is my favorite - I love how thick and creamy the yogurt is! Chobani seems to have some excess water and I don't enjoy the texture as much.

I love the tip upthread about using the plain in place of sour cream - I'll have to try this.

I buy the Chobani or Oikos right now, usually the Oikos. I keep seeing commercials for Fage but haven't tried it. Thanks for posting about it. I'll check it out.

I love the Oikos brand right now.....I never thought about putting it in the freezer and having a frozen treat....great idea!!

I will have to try Fage if I can find it at my grocery store.....

I have been buying Chopaoni. On sale is it $1.00. but I found out that if I buy the 4 pack it is cheaper than that. I guess I will buy what is cheaper. I also like the Okios, john stamos has not shown up though.

The large carton of plain 0% fat Fage is a staple in our frig. I also add fresh fruit, a little sweetener and Chia seeds. I eat 1/3 C for a snack or more for a quick meal.

I'm a fan of Fage. I too buy the 0% plain and mix in apples and granola, that's my breakfast every morning. I also use it in cooking a lot... replaces sour cream very easily, and the 2% or full fat kind can actually replace heavy cream in some recipes... my usual 0% doesn't work as well for that though, it tends to curdle if I mix into a hot sauce.

I haven't liked the other brands as much.

Dispatch girl 32: I too loved healthy choice frozen Greek yogurt (except the price of course) and can't believe how many I ate UNTIL I read the ingredients! Propylene glycol!!!!!!!! That is what they put in antifreeze! I can't believe they have done us sooooo wrong! Google it.

I always have to have Greek Yogurt in my fridge - it's a necessity!

I love buying the plain variety then adding my own mix-ins!

My favorites include:
- walnuts and nutmeg
- cocoa powder and stevia/truvia
- a few chocolate chips and sweetener
- strawberries with sweetener
- almonds with a drizzle of honey
- chia seeds -- left to "plump"

All soooo good!

I love to thaw some frozen raspberries in the micro and then add a 1/2 cup of the plain greek Fage yogurt. It makes for a great quick breakfast or snack.

It also has less sugar than the flavors do.

Great things come in small packages and small achievements!
