Fat free yogurt is a great choice. But if you really want the low fat, your best bet is to call around to as many different stores and you can and find out who carries it. Other than that, you could look into making your own yogurt from low fat milk. It’s not as hard as it may seem at first. You can buy starter kits on line.

I am having a hard time finding “low-fat” greek or plain yogurt. I can find fat free and full fat versions but really want to find the lowfat. I live in the midwest and shop at Kroger mostly. Any suggestions?

Rachael – Even if it’s not as high in protein, it’s most likely higher in quality due to processing standards over there. Greek yogurt is Greek yogurt. But different manufacturers will process the dairy differently, so you’ll most likely end up with different amounts. That said, it shouldn’t be TOOOOO different. But my suggestion is just to use what you have there. Something is better than nothing in this case!

First, I want to say that I LOVE your website! Second, I am currently living in Germany for a few years and have a question about the Greek yogurt I am finding. As I compare nutrition lables, the Greek yogurt I found here does not have as much protein as the stuff I use to buy in the states. Is it called something different here? Or do they make it differently? I thought since you use to live here you may be able to shed some insight on this issue! What makes Greek yogurt so high in protein?
That was a lot of questions! Sorry!

I mix in a food processor greek yogurt with avocado, a little olive oil, some lemon juice, onion powder, garlic powder, sea salt, and pepper. It makes a fabulous avocado dressing for salads or dips for other veggies. Love it!!! Going to try to make mini cheesecakes with it next.
