Greek Yogurt Recommendations

Greek yogurt has been this new-ish product that I have had a lot of interest in, especially now that it has become mainstream. However, it is kind of expensive so before I jumped in and started buying a lot I wanted to see which was the best to like. Here is what I found.

Fage 
Hands down my favorite and here's why. It is super thick and the little side cup of fruit/honey gives it just enough sweetness. It almost reminds me of eating cheesecake...enough said.

Chobani
I think that this brand has probably the largest selection of flavors, however their Greek yogurt is not as thick as others. I really enjoy the thickness, but if it is off-putting to you, try these guys out.

Oikos
No, John Stamos doesn't really appear when you eat this, but this is my second favorite Greek yogurt. I like having the fruit on the bottom, not mixed in, and this has a nice creamy thickness to it. 

Yoplait Greek
It wasn't memorable. Not horrible but not amazing either. It had a medium thickness to it, like Chobani.

Great Value (Walmart)
Equally as good as Dannon's Oikos, but cheaper. This is what I usually buy :)

Liberté
For supposedly being French I was disappointed. If you've ever been to Europe their yogurt is SO much better...not this one. It was about the same thickness as Chobani. I was kind of disappointed.

Kroger
They have a very unique selection, like a berry lemon that I love, but I don't particularly enjoy Splenda/Stevia as my yogurt sweetner. And for whatever reason their yogurt seems to have more protein than other Greek yogurts...weird, but really nice! They have a light and regular version and I definitely recommend the regular kind. The light Greek yogurt was bland.
