Have any of you found a brand of yogurt that works with our diet? I love yogurt, so I'm trying to plan ahead.

Thanks!

just about any yogurt wihout added sugars have worked forme. There is some that have higher protein but I have not found them locally.

I just discovered Greek yogurt, and I LOVE it!!! It's thicker and creamier, and seems to have a little milder taste, to me, anyway. There are several brands, but I like Fage. Can't find it in all grocery stores, but some do have it. Most health food stores do have it. A bit more expensive, but since my grocery bills have gone down, I consider myself "worth it".
I put it with 1/2 cup fruit (mashed or chopped), or add a couple of tsp. of SF instant pistachio pudding (DRY). I can't get enough of it!!
8 oz. is 20 grams of protein! A dream food, in my book!
Hope you can find it, and give it a try,
Becky

Kroger has its own brand called Carb Master. They have less than 5 grams of sugar, 12 grams of protien and are delicious. Best of all they are cheap.

any of the 'carb control' yogurts are fine to try, just find a couple that work for you. I prefer Dannon ' light and fit'. But, there are many out there so you can get one you like the taste of!

the regular yogurts have WAY too much sugar and not enough protein.

God Bless!

non-fat Greek yogurt is the gold standard. I like mine with some no-sugar added fruit and a little Splenda.

I have been eating Dannon Activa. It only has 8 grams of sugar per 4 oz serving. It's a small serving but hits the spot. I loved Dannon Light and Fit before surgery but was worried the amount of sugar might bother me so I tried the Activa and really like it.

I love nonfat greek yogurt. Fage was my favorite but it's been replaced in my area with Chobani. I add a scoop of protein powder and sweeten it up with splenda. It smells like cake batter and tastes like a total indulgence. It's a bit pricier than your typical yogurts but it has more protein and is all around a healthier choice.

I use Chobani (greek yogurt) is thick and creamy and very high in protein...if you add cinamon and splenda to the vanilla flavor tastes very good....I like Lena's idea about adding more protein powder...i think i may hi-jack that and start doing that!!! :)
