You Guys Need To Stop It With The Greek and Icelandic Yogurt

Well, I guess we know where YOU stand

Go to the Indian market and get desi yogurt.

We like it Greek style

[quote]Icelandic Yogurt

Never tried it, but I will.

Years ago, I’d get thick yogurt and fruit from a deli. It was absolutely delicious. I had no idea it was Greek yogurt, which subsequently became huge in the US. The problem is that, as it became mass produced, it lost its thickness. Now everything is called Greek yogurt

That Icelandic shit just seems like yogurt mixed with a lot of cornstarch.

I found skyr bland at first but now I love it. Trader Joe's "Icelandic style yogurt" is like Elmer's paste, but both Siggi's (vanilla and berry) and Icelandic Provisions (especially key lime flavor) are great.

When I first started eating it, I mixed in a little xylitol and vanilla but I adapted and it tastes sweet enough on its own to me. I like to mix in frozen wild blueberries with vanilla Siggi's. It's delicious, full of protein, and it can really cool you down on a hot summer day.

I whisk the Icelandic yogurt before adding fruit—gives it a lighter texture.

Is there a Norwegian version?

now all i have to do is wait

I refuse to abide by your command, OP. Greek and Icelandic yoghurts are lovely!

I don't like the Greek ones. Stinky.

There is no such thing as "normative" yogurt. What OP should have said is "cis yogurt".

Greek yogurt was good when it first became popular in the US ten years ago. Just a few brands. Then all the regular yogurts were trying to do it, then the other Greek ones ended up lowering their quality. I ate "Greek Gods" brand of Greek yogurt when it first became popular here. Then a few years ago they rebranded and the yogurt became the consistency of American yogurt. They also changed the label; it used to say "Greek yogurt", now it says "Greek style yogurt". 🤢

Greek yogurt usually is higher in protein and the thicker texture makes it more filling. I have the opposite problem as OP...I am in Buenos Aires and I can't find Greek yogurt to save my life. I don't know why, but it's just not a thing here.

r14 cause the Argentine people know that shit is bland and tastes like glue. If they want protein they eat a piece of meat like normal people instead of fucking up some perfectly nice yogurt like Americans!

Well, I guess OP does type fat.

Fage has the best Greek yogurt.

I love Fage!

Ice cream 🤗

Not fat, so don't even go there 😠

Where's this mythical normal yogurt desert, OP?

I had Fage yogurt with fresh blueberries this morning....mmm...mmm...

Fuck the Geek yogurt trend. I still eat my Activia every day and it's done wonders for my digestive system.

You can use Greek yogurt in place of sour cream. It's very creamy and rich...without all the calories, and less fat. You get more protein, too.

Silly Fat Whores

All those flavored yogurts-- Greek, Icelandic, French or otherwise--are loaded with sugar and not "healthy" or good for you at all.

You can add your own fruit and sprinkle some cinnamon on top if you want something a little sweeter.

(And fresh fruit! Not peaches from a can with heavy sugared syrup!)

[quote] without all the calories, and less fat.

And you people doubt us when we say it is still 1987 on Datalounge.

Fat is not bad for you R23. Certainly not in moderation. It leaves you feeling fuller and does not actually make you fat or whatever it was people thought back in the Aerobics Era.

The main advantage to Greek yogurt from a nutritional POV is that it is high in protein and has probiotics which can help with gut health

Siggi's vanilla skyr has 9 grams of sugar and 16 grams of protein.

Original vanilla Yoplait has 22 grams of sugar and 5 grams of protein.

Cottage cheese has 5 grams of sugar and 25 grams of protein. But who wants to eat that as a snack?

Fage plain 0% fat Greek yogurt

Add 2 pkgs of Truvia+1 pump sugar free Torani lemon syrup+Several walnuts

I heard that French yogurt is very good. I never had it. People who went to Paris bought it in a supermarket, and the container is a crock. Supposedy, it's much better than our yogurt here.

Slimy liquid American yoghurt is inedible, so the backlash is understandable.

I eat yogurt as "dessert" because its a healthier alternative. So I refuse to eat the bland varieties, and I don't care about sugar content. In most cases it's better than eating a bag of oreos, pie or cake.

I remember, back in the '60s, when I never heard of yogurt....but you would see Dannon yogurt in the stores. I think that was the only yogurt available then. I thought it was so exotic.

Dannon is disgusting. Long live Chobani!

I hope chocolate is next. Hershey needs to die!

"Yogurt" is an ugly word that makes an ugly sound to me, and "yoghurt" is even worse. It's a turnoff to me.

I much prefer the Icelandic "skyr."

I have a coworker who is always eating Chobani yogurt in her office and it makes her office smell disgusting.

Normal yoghurt is what's disgusting. It's basically sour milk. The vegan version tastes better and is healthier. No milk hormones for me, thanks. Milk hormones are terrible for the skin and create maasive breakouts. I stopped eating/drinking milk products and the breakouts stopped, funny that. As I said: hormones in milk are terrible for your skin and your body. Avoid at all costs.

I'd rather die than eat vegan yogurt.

+1 R35

Foragers or Trader Joe's Creamy Cashew are both excellent.

I had this delicious greek yogurt years ago. It was actually imported from Greece. Much better than crap like Chobani or Fage. I guess they discontinued it, because I haven't seen it in supermarkets since.

I've been a Kefir gurl for some time now

I used to eat Yoplait yogurt. The vanilla actually tasted like real vanilla instead of that artificial stuff.

Skyr isn’t yogurt, although it looks like it. It’s actually cheese.

Icelandic people will silently judge you for calling it otherwise.

I just call it skyr. I don't like the word cheese or the word yogurt.

Unnatural low fat yogurt is garbage; useless for cooking. The main thing is the fat percentage. You can fix the yogurt by hanging it over your sink in cheesecloth so that it's actually fit for use in recipes calling for normal yogurt.

For people who live in Seattle, Ellenos Greek Yogurt is pretty delicious.

What is vegan yogurt even made of?

R45 ask Google.

It's called "conversation" R46.

Gotta love my fellow gays. Will eat a strangers cum and asshole but bitch about minor differences in yogurt texture.

Here you go R45: Cashewmilk (Filtered Water, Cashews*), Tapioca Starch*, Locust Bean Gum*, Coconut Cream*, Live Active Cultures (S. Thermophilus, L. Bulgaricus, L. Acidophilus, Bifidus, L. Lactis, L. Plantarum) *Organic

LOVE DANNON , the people that flock to the '" new yogurt" are lemmings

Does making "cashew milk" into one word make it more appealing somehow?

[quote]For people who live in Seattle, Ellenos Greek Yogurt is pretty delicious.

Ellenos is fantastic and I recommend it to anyone who ever sees it. But it's basically dessert, and it's overpriced.

I ate yogurt for years because it was a health food then one day I just stopped. Greek food is my favorite type of cuisine but I never loved the taste of Greek yogurt. Once in a blue moon I will have the creamy French style. I do wonder if yogurts health benefits are overrated. I'm becoming more cynical about the pro biotic craze.

What I like is Brown Cow Cherry/Vanilla and Liberté Washington Black Cherry and I have to *order them online* because you jerks keep buying so much Greek and Icelandic yogurt that they won't even carry what I like, they won't even stock it. So, please, just stop. Cut it out. Go on and adulterate something else.

Costco Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt

Yum!!

Top of the line...

Fage Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt

Yoplait custard style with the golden foil lid.

[quote]I am in Buenos Aires and I can't find Greek yogurt to save my life.

Greek yogurt is just regular yogurt with most of the whey strained off. You can do that with cheesecloth or a strainer.

Mel Brook‘s Yoghurt is the best.

When I was a child we bought Columbo yogurt and it was very tart and tangy. It wasn't "Greek style" yogurt, just a mass brand supermarket yogurt and even the fruit-on-the-bottom cherry flavor tasted intensely different from yogurts today.

Brown Cow yogurt is good. I love to eat the creamy layer on top, without mixing it.

Would you like a gooseberry and cinnamon yoghurt?

What I really like about this clip is how simply Catherine Tate shows up the aspirational middle classes. The panic over dates is one aspect, but also, well-bred people do not say yo-gurt, it's yog-urt!

I've started eating bulgarian yogurt; it's not as thick as Icelandic or some forms of Greek Yogurt, but very sour so you need to mix in honey & fruit. It's very filling and it cleans out your pipes in no time!

Albanian yoghurt is the best by far. It’s hard to get in the US, I have it flown in.

I don't *need* to do fuck all for your little yoghurt problems, OP.

I make my own Greek yogurt, it is so much better than the stuff you buy in stores. I make a batch on the weekend and it lasts all week.

BTW Greek yogurt is just regular yogurt that's been strained for up to 12 hours to get the liquid (whey) out. And all yogurt is is milk that's been been heated at low temperature for several hours with good bacteria added.

^do you use a yogurt machine or some other gadget? I've tried my hand at making yogurt before & it ended up being runny cottage cheese

OP is trashy and probably still eats sugary cereal for breakfast.

R67 I make it in my Instant Pot. It is seriously SO EASY.

Use whole milk.

And this is the strainer I use

^ link didn't work try this one

I only eat Greek yogurt. Can't stand that thin soupy American yogurt.

r71, but is it bitter? Is it the whey that makes it not bitter?

make your own OP

Great Value Light Greek Peach Nonfat Yogurt is delicious and only costs $2.48 for 4 cups. It is only 80 calories and has 12 grams of protein.

^^and 12 grams of sugar

[quote] Ellenos is fantastic and I recommend it to anyone who ever sees it. But it's basically dessert, and it's overpriced

R52, I would normally buy their plain unsweetened yogurt (you could get it for a great price at Costco). But yes, their flavored versions are basically dessert; however, it’s a great simple dessert.

R76, you are wrong. The label states only 7g of sugar.

For R78

r79, you linked to the wrong product. Here is the product that was mentioned. It has 7g of sugar.

Do you remember these yogurt makers from the 1970s? My mother had one and I think she used it only once or twice before throwing it away.

What is the best yogurt for tzatziki? I make my own but it does not turn out as creamy as the version I find in restaurants.

Get my yogurt from an Amish guy, Millport Dairy in Pennsylvania, who has a stand in New York's Greenmarket at Union Square and Tribeca. No artificial anything.

I like Fage.

Another vote for brown cow cream top yogurt. I don’t like their flavored yogurts because I don’t find maple syrup pleasant as a yogurt sweetener, but nothing beats their plain as is or with a few added blueberries. Sugar for the plain version is 8 grams.
