Stonyfield Farm Organic Yogurt is…

by

helping to send me to BlogHer!

Stonyfield Oikos Organic yogurt to be specific.

Now, if you’re anything like the Ren Man, you may be wondering what on earth is Greek yogurt?!

(is he really as living under a rock as I teased? have you not yet heard of the Greek ‘Gurt either?! please to chime in below.)

Here’s some info from the Stonyfield peeps:

Oikos Organic is the only nationally distributed organic Greek yogurt on the market today.

Called “yiaourti” in Greece, Greek yogurt is thicker than regular yogurt. Authentic Greek yogurt like Oikos Organic owes its lavish texture to a centuries-old straining process that removes the whey (liquid) from the yogurt.

For hundreds of years, Greeks have prized strained yogurt for its richness and creaminess. Before the time of mechanical refrigeration, Greeks also knew that yogurt stayed fresh longer with the liquid strained off. Today we know that straining makes Greek yogurt naturally richer in protein than regular yogurt, and lower in carbohydrates.

Oikos Organic Greek yogurt reflects that tradition as a tangy, incredibly lush yogurt with twice the calcium of the leading Greek yogurt.

Other benefits of 0% Fat Oikos Organic Greek yogurt:

* It’s diet friendly with 120 calories or less, 0g fat and up to 15g of protein per 5.3 oz. serving.
* It includes five live and active cultures, including L. acidophilus, Bifidus and L. Casei.
* It’s certified organic, made with milk from farms that don’t use toxic persistent chemicals and fertilizers, antibiotics or synthetic growth hormones.
* An excellent source of hunger-satisfying protein, Oikos Organic Greek yogurt has no artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners — no aspartame or sucralose, ever!

What does all this really mean?

*The yogurt comes in plain, vanilla, honey & blueberry.

*The yogurt is lovelythick feeling in the mouth & AMAZEfabulous plain & in smoothies (the extent of my usage. Im confident you have more ideas. Please to share below).

*The yogurt is something I use, I love, & I believe is good for me and my family.

(translation: you wouldnt wanna know what I’ve turned down by way of sponsorship opportunities. While it’s entirely tempting to sell out in order to afford to buy a plane ticket it’s just not the way I roll.)

*I shall be bumbling about Chicago this summer dressed as a container of Oikos Organic Greek yogurt & passing out coupons for Stonyfield Farm!

(ok.  the costume is a joke—–but how funny would that have been!?)

Now you.

Have you tried this stuff yet?

If yes—how do you like it best?  Gimmie a few ways I mightcould disguise it so the Ren Man knows not he’s eating the Greek ‘Gurt!

If you’ve not yet tried it–why not? Any reason?

Please to hit me up in the comments.

One lucky reader will win (waitforit) four free containers of the 5.3 ounce Oikos &  two free containers of the 16 oz.

USA only (I know, I know).  Winner announced Monday.

  1. I tried it once and didn’t really like it. But that was in the middle of a period where I was super burned out on yogurt in general, so I’d like to try it again – especially now that I know there’s flavors!

  2. I’ve had Greek yogurt before and really liked it. I’ve tried both Fage and Chobani. I’ve not seen the Oikos at any of the stores when I normally shop, but would love to try it. I’ve heard many good things about it from other bloggers. 🙂

  3. I have heard about it, in Prevention magazine, but I keep forgetting to look for it. I need to make a list for shopping at the Vitamin Cottage. It’s just as close as any other supermarket, so I don’t have any excuse! And it’s payday, so that’s not a problem! Gonna get some. Would love to win some! 😉

  5. Way to go Miz!! That is awesome (wishes she would be there to see all going)!

    Way to go Stonyfield, you COULD NOT have picked a better person to represent you there!(still thinking about you in a yogurt costume, makes me laugh at the thought!) Maybe you (Stonyfield) should give some SERIOUS thought to a costume for Miz! ( 🙂 )

    I have tried it AND love it, just does not fit my ever tight budget all the time, so to WIN 6 containers would be right up my alley and we would LOVE up here in this house, that is for sure!!

    I like it best with some fresh berries on it…needs nothing else.

  6. HA HA.

    I laughed at the idea of you dressing like a container of their yogurt.
    I already adore this stuff.

  7. I LOVE greek yogurt and this sounds gooood!! I’m on vacation in France and they too have a thick greek-style yogurt which is quite tasty. The Europeans really know how to make a good yogurt 🙂

    The live cultures are REALLY good for one’s health: it aids digestion, helps ward off vaginal infections, can be good source of protein, makes you feel fuller longer, and has many other benefits for the stomach and body.

    I’m excited to try this once I’m back in the states….it can be tough to find a good one in the US.

    And congrats about BlogHer!!

  8. One of our purchases from the market every week is a large family tub of a Tasmanian Greek Yogurt. We buy one with some passionfruit sauce on it. It is seriously one of my favorite things to eat. I usually have some muesli on the top!

  9. Man I love Greek Yogurt I use it in place of sour cream. I add herbs and spices to it to make a healthy dip/dressing. What I have not yet tried is to strain it further to make it act like a cream cheese (works with regular yogurt). Looks like y’all like the sweet stuff, but I like to stir in tomatoes and leftover vegetables. It is a bit pricey. Trader Joe carries a house brand that is good.

    Is it breakfast time?

  10. WHAT A SMART COMPANY!

    (I know as a reader I’m biased but….)

    I can’t wait for Blogher.

  11. You scared me for a minute. I was trying to think how I might avoid you at BlogHer. 🙂

    I like Greek Yogurt, especially vanilla with a little chocolate whey protein powder stirred into it.

    Have a great weekend!

  12. I’ve aways wanted to try this yogurt but have been too cheap for fear I’d spend the money & not like it.

    Three cheers for such a smart smart company!

  13. You can use it in place of cream in sauces (just add it in AFTER everything has been removed from the heat).

    The vanilla flavoured one is terrific as a topping for sugar-free jello.

  15. I am a rebel: NO NEED TO ENTER ME I just wanted to say congrats.

    Do you get mad when people only comment for freebies?

    I hate that on my blog 🙂

  17. How great is it that Oikos is helping to send you to BlogHer! Yay!!
    I love Greek yogurt. I have to admit thought that I always buy Fage because I can get it a lot cheaper at Costco.
    I love it plain, with fruit, mixed with PB2 or peanut butter and chia seeds (my favorite!!) or pumpkin and spices. We always use it in place of sour cream (fajitas, fish tacos, dips). My husband doesn’t eat it as yogurt (but he never eats yogurt), but he likes it in place of sour cream or in any recipes I’ve used it in…

  18. I love Fage but it’s hella expensive, so if Stoneyfield has a Greek thing going I’m definitely going to have to try it!

    And I can SO picture you dressed like a giant yogurt. Which, weirdly enough, I mean as a compliment.

  19. Ooh, so awesome!
    I LOVE , love, love Greek yogurt. I tried the Oikos brand last week with a coupon and love it more than the Fage brand!

    I prefer to buy mine plain so I can add whatever I want to it.

    Favorite so far has been diced strawberries (make sure to smush a few), and lemon curd from Trader Joe’s. It is everything you want sweet, zingy, creamy. Yum.

    Other ideas are topping with granola, or crushed nuts and mixing in either fresh fruit or no-sugar jam/jelly.

    Drool.

    • and you know because Im a MizFit CHILD I SO wanna dress up like yogurt now….

  20. I have not yet tried the Stonyfield counerpart of Greek Yogurt to Fage and Chobani. I prefer Fage over CHobani.
    I like Stonyfield because I can get the “organic” variety. Yesterday, I picked up the low fat plain 32oz container of Stonyfield yogurt as I forgot to make my home made yogurt the day before (I make yogurt at home every day as it is a staple of South Indian diet).

    I am surprised at the statement that straining makes yogurt richer in protein. Won’t we lose all the whey protein?

    Have fun at Blogher. 🙂

  21. I love greek yogurt. It’s so thick and tasty. I find it easier to eat plain than regular yogurt – the sour taste doesn’t bother me as much for whatever reason. It’s also easy to mix with other things. I’ve tried the oikos honey flavor. It was pretty good although the honey flavor was strong. It tasted simple – just honey and yogurt.

  23. I am surprised at the statement that straining makes yogurt richer in protein. Won’t we lose all the whey protein?

    Im curious now too….will see what I can uncover as well!

  24. I’ve tried Fage and Trader Joe’s Greek Yogurts. They’re OK, but I have to admit that I only eat them because they’re good for me.

    Then one day my local market got the Oikos brand. I tried the plain, the honey, and the blueberry. OHMYGARSH were they fantastic. My husband says they’re the only kind that taste like “real” yogurt. The honey is a particular favorite.

  25. My version of greek yogurt is to take Astro balkan style yogurt and strain it. It comes out so thick you can use it as yogurt or cream cheese or whatever you want. The great thing is it can be sweet or savory 🙂

  26. Our son received some coupons for this a while ago, to review and report on his blog. His family (he did not share the coupons with anyone else) loved the stuff. Having not “Paid it Forward” he got a lot of flack from the blogosphere. The family’s review was a very positive one, and they are using it regularly.

  27. Love me some geek gurt, but didn’t actually try it until a year or so ago with Dietgirl blogged about it so much. I like to chop almonds to stir into mine, and sometimes some ground flaxseed…makes it granola-y.

  28. MizFit – would you dress up as the Honey Yogurt, so you can do the beehive thing?

    I’ve tried Fage & Trader Joes, and love to use the Chobani 10% when making curry. I mix either a little honey or maple syrup into plain Greek yogurt, and then toss in whatever is handy. This morning, that was strawberries and a handful of “kitchen sink” granola. (Made using all the almost-out baggies of nuts and dried fruit in the pantry.)

  29. I love Oikos! I love the texture, and the high protein content is great! I prefer the plain variety, then I add some raw honey on top. It’s like heaven!

  30. LOL @ Joy.

    You could do a MizFit Amy Winehouse!

    Have a great weekend and congrats on the sponsor—you deserve it!!

  32. It is a battle at the local stores to get. The stuff is so good that as soon as it is stocked, it is gone by the end of the day.

    Sometimes, to thicken even more and add different flavors, add some protein powder.

    Always have thirty minutes before workout with fruit mixed in.

  33. That’s awesome! Don’t count me in for the giveaway, though, because they sent me some to review already. I loved it! The blueberry is great and the plain made super tzatziki!

  35. 1. in a smoothie with frozen strawberries and a touch of water
    2. with fresh berries and a dash of granola
    3. mix some plain oikos with lemon juice, paprika, and salt and then marinate chicken in it. you can either cook it like that or then bread it and bake it. juiciest chicken of your life.

  37. I have never tried Greek yogurt – it is not available in the area that I live in (sigh). That’s one of the downsides to live in a teeny tiny rural area – lack of cool foods. I would love to win the giveaway so I could test this out!

  38. I love greek yogurt plain, but it is also good with fiber one and fruit or mixed with peanut butter.

  39. I literally just discovered the wonders of Greek yogurt this week…I am hooked! The thickness and taste just has no comparison with regular yogurt.

    Like everything else good for my body, I wish it weren’t so expensive 🙁

    Hopefully I win and can get some for free 😉

  40. I think you should totally go dressed as a container of yogurt when you pass out those coupons… 🙂

    I love Fage but haven’t had a change to try Oikos yet. I love the plain mixed with lemon juice, salt, pepper & chives as a dip for veggies.

  41. I LOVE Stoneyfield in general. I could live off of their regular vanilla organic yogurt. Yumm.

    I still haven’t tried the greek yogurt, mostly because (although I’ve been aware of its existence for a while) I wasn’t sure exactly what made it greek. Now that I know that greek=all sorts of goodness, I feel an immediate need to try this stuff out!

    And I do wish you’d dress in costume. Any costume would make me smile, really. 🙂

  42. Never tried it and never thought it sounded like something I wanted to try…but…God, you make it sound amazing!

    And there’s just something sinfully appealing about the idea of honey yogurt.

    And that totally sucks, because I know for a fact you can’t buy it here. You can’t buy ANYTHING here. 🙁

    But totally LMAO at the yogurt costume idea! 🙂

    V.

  43. I loves me some greek yogurt! Especially w/ honey and a few walnuts thrown in for good measure. mmmm… now I’m salivating.

    I thought you were serious about dressing up as a container of yogurt!!! That would be hilarious! (and a little bit embarrassing!)

    Have a good weekend Miz!

  45. I second (12th? ;)) the fact you should dress up like a container of yogurt!

    I already love their stuff.

    Good choice—-both of you.

    They are lucky to have ya Miz!

  47. I haven’t tried it yet, mostly because I love my regular yogurt and didn’t want to mess with a good thing! Maybe now that you’ve explained what it is, I’ll give it a try!

  48. I absolutely adore greek yogurt! Actually, greek yogurt is what helped get me to the point where I didn’t need flavored yogurts anymore.

    My favorite way to eat mine is to slice fresh fruit (usually plums or strawberries), top it with plain greek yogurt, and then sprinkling it with a low sugar variety of organic granola. YUMMY! It’s one of the most filling snacks I’ve had.

  49. I’m a HUGE fan of Greek yogurt! I usually buy Fage, but that’s because I didn’t know Oikos was from Stonyfield Farm. Stonyfield is one of my “regular yogurt” favorites. I’ll be looking for Oikos now, whether I win or not, although I’d sure be excited to get free Greek yogurt!

  50. Looking forward to meeting that container of yogurt in Chi-town.

    Alas, I have not tried it and will not. As I understand it, real Greek Yogurt is also made from either goat or sheep milk- if that were true I’d be all over this stuff. But my mild dairy allergy means no cow’s milk yogurt for me.

  51. Well done on the sponsorship Miz!
    You’ve made me think I’ve been going about this blogging caper all wrong. I pimped Fage greek yogurt for free a gazillion times coz I was in love with it and I know lots of people tried it as a result yet here I am unable to go to BlogHer… DAMMIT! C’mon Mr Fage, cash me up plz.

  52. I try to take the cheap way out at all times and buy regular yogurt and usually strain it myself making a “fake” Greek yogurt. Doesn’t taste nearly as creamy as the real thing, but it works. I do buy Fage on occasion, but the Stoney Field is always in the organic section, which I usually forget about walking through.

  53. Congratulations on the sponsorship! Cool.

    Now I’m doubly sorry to be missing out on Blogher. The chance to see you dressed as a yogurt container…. dang.

    But, hey! I could whip up a costume for you – how long do I have? *grin*

    And the only way to eat yogurt is with something savoury mixed in – or as tzatziki sauce! I’m not a fan of sweet things added to yogurt. *shudder*

  54. I like it with honey on top of Orange Juice pancakes. It also makes a killer spinach dip (yogurt +spinach+onion+garlic+salt &pepper =mmmm)
    I’ve also used it in place of sour cream with no one noticing.

  55. Lately I’ve been eating Chobani Greek yogurt because it’s a little cheaper than my old standby, Fage. I haven’t tried Oikos yet, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed!

  56. Mmm, LOVE greek yogurt!! you could try the plain as a sour cream sub. I just blended it with an avocado, cilantro, and who knows what else for an egg roll dip… almost like guac 😉 It’d be great on chips!

    plus you could always blend it into a smoothie, mix in some pb, honey, or agave, or berries…

  57. Oooh, it sounds delicious! And no, I haven’t tried it, but the only reason is I normally get what the kids grab for (which tends to be Gogurt). Maybe they’ll start grabbing for this!

  58. I loves me the Greek yogurt so hardcore it’s inappropriate. Stonyfield sent me some Oikos coupons a while back and I’ve tried the honey flavor so far – OUT OF CONTROL good. Hello honey volcano! If Ren Man doesn’t like that, maybe he’d be willing to try it as a sour cream substitute? OR cook it into a curry dish or dal or some such ethnic goodness. One recipe idea I got from my dad, which Greek yogurt is ideal for, is a cucumber salad – you just slice cukes up (hot house are my fave) and dress em with the yogurt, plus dill, lemon juice and salt ‘n’ pepa. Holla at yo’ protein.

  60. I adore Oikos, for the flavor, the extra protein, and the organic-ness, for I do have several other greek yogurt options when shopping but really try to stick with organic for my dairy. However since it is significantly pricier than the regular Stonyfield Farms I mix them half-and-half for my snacks and smoothies.

  61. I tried the plain, because being healthy only works if you do it overboard. hah. The plain was not good, but I’d love to have the flavored stuff. Or use the plain in place of sour cream. I bet I could do that!

    OH, if you change your mind about dressing in a contain PLEASE take pictures 🙂 lol.

  62. I have tried this and really like it. I eat the plain all the time with honey and (ooh – here it comes…) ground FLAX in it. Yummy. I also like the flavors, and like that you can buy it at Trader Joe’s. The only downside? My hubby and kids did not so much enjoy. They’re stubborn that way – so I still have to go somewhere else and get them what they like in the way of yogurt.

  63. Ha ha!
    I’d love to see you dressed up like yogurt!

    I’ll be at BlogHer.

    have a great weekend and thank you for all you do, Miz!!

  65. I’ve not tried it – been stuck on my Fage. I’m sure it’s great though…and how wonderful of them to send you to Blogher!!! I really respect that you choose products that you believe in to promote on your site, rather than anything that is offered up for free to you.

  69. Yum. I love the Oikos. And Fage, but Oikos single-serve are more my portion size and Oikos is organic. I top with fruit for a quick snack… pretty much the samestuff most folks are mentioning here in the comments. The chicken marinade thing has me intrigued; never would have thought of that!

    I’m trying to make a healthy “ranch” dip with it to encourage me to eat my raw veggies more….

  70. I actually just bought a container of this last night! I have tried the Chobani and TJ’s store brand, and didn’t really care for them. But everyone keeps saying that Oikos is the best, so when I saw it at the grocery last night I grabbed one! Now I’m optimistic!

  71. I have tried the Oikos and like it very much. I do prefer Fage, but the Oikos is less expensive.
    I like the plain and the vanilla flavors the best. The others are too sweet.

    I love that this is an organic yogurt, too!

  72. Love the Oikos yogurt. Love the high protein content and how it tastes. In my town we can only get plain and vanilla, but my mouth is watering thinking about the blueberry and honey.

    p.s. Love your blog.

  73. I adore my greek yogurt! I use it in all kinds of stuff! I marinate chicken in it, make savory dips and salad dressings with it. Use it for sauces. Eat it plain with chopped dates and nuts. Use it in muffins. Smoothies. Soups. Nummy!!!

  74. I love that yogurt but I don’t buy it very often because it’s almost 3 times as expensive as the regular kind and I’m cheap lol. So if I got to win some from you that would be a cool deal lol. But just you typing about it makes me want to go out and buy some. To me it’s like a super treat and I go into a trance when I eat it lol.

  75. It’s my favorite yogurt. I love the regular Stonyfield yogurts too. It’s expensive, but I allow myself 1 or 2 a week. I save them for times when the rest of my lunch doesn’t have enough protein.

  76. I’ve always loved plain yogurt, but last year I discovered Greek-style yogurt, and now I have a serious habit. (I eat it nearly every weekday afternoon.) I buy whatever’s the least expensive of the natural options. Usually this means Chobani or Trader Joes’, but now & then I’ll splurge on Oikos or Fage. Flavored varieties have too much sugar, so I go plain and add my own stuff.

    I usually put a serving of fruit and either ground flax seeds or a mix of ground flax seeds & wheat germ. Or sometimes, just a thin, small drizzle of honey. I usually keep my stash at work, but sometimes I bring it home and use it instead of sour cream. (Works great on a baked potato, with chives and lemon pepper!)

    Oh, and here’s one of our favorite chicken dishes: saute onions, garlic, chunks of chicken, and fajita seasoning (or, if you don’t have that, chile powder and a dash of lemon and lime juices), until the onions are soft. Add a can of diced green chiles and a can of enchilada sauce, simmer 30 minutes. Remove from heat, mix in some plain Greek-style yogurt to taste. (Sometimes we pull out some of the hot sauce, blend in some cream cheese, and mix back into the rest.)

  77. I love Greek yogurt. I like it plain, then I mix in some frozen blueberries, a bit of Kashi or other cereal, and a scoop of almond butter. Yum!

  78. New here…love the site! I haven’t tried this yet, but I’m definitely going to. I’m a NH native, so I stay true to my roots and only buy Stonyfield. I normally get the non-fat french vanilla and add in blueberries or some cereal. So good!

  79. I make breakfast parfaits w/ greek yogurt, frozen berries, and high-fiber cereal. I also use greek yogurt to make dips and as a sour cream substitute when eating burritos.

  80. I am a huge Greek yogurt eater! I love the more protein, less carbs & sugar! I was eating Fage just because the Oikos was not available where I shop for it. I have tried it & loved it though. Unfortunately, it is too expensive for me & as much as I want to eat the Organic, I eat too much of it & just can’t afford it. I now eat the Trader Joes Greek yogurt which has even more protein & it is thick & creamy as well & tastes great.. although I sweeten my non-fat stuff up a bit with Splenda. It is too sour without a bit of sweetener for me… they all were, not just TJ’s. I shop at TJ’s all the time & did not even know they had Greek yogurt until Kristi at Summer Fitness mentioned it. The price is really good too which helps with my budget.

  81. I absolutely love greek yogurt. It almost seems too good to be true – it’s wonderfully thick, creamy and smooth! Just add some cinnamon, bananas, touch of honey and ground flaxseeds = delish!

  83. No the yogurt costume is a must…I only want to win if you wear it 😀 I am a recent convert to Greek yog (the first two, or maybe five times, i tried it, that tart flavor GROSSED me out! Maybe shtick it in a smoothie, woo protein and creaminess! I’ve also heard it’s good as a sour cream substitute, as in guacamole, on taco salad, OR in tuna instead of mayo!

  84. I love greek style yogurt! I like adding mixed fruit to mine, sometimes low cal granola. I blend a lot too- so yogurt is a staple in this house. Congrats on them helping to get you to blogher!

  85. (And d’oh! Belated congratulations on your being sponsored! *sigh*…blinded by Greek-style yogurt lust yet again…)

  87. I am completely in love with this yogurt- I have been eating stonyfield farm yogurt for about a year now and it is great! I lived in Spain a few months ago and all I ate as far as yogurt goes while there was Greek style…when I came back I missed it so I started eating this stuff!

    I personally will eat it with almost anything, but a different take on yogurt is this- to the plain stuff, add things like chives and garlic (or garlic salt if you don’t want to cut it up!) to make an alternative sort of veggie (or chip) dip. Works every time.

    Congratulations on the sponsorship! I live in Chicago and am on the waiting list for the conference!

  88. OOOOOO! I want free pleeeeeeeease! I love greek yogurt but can’t afford it! It tastes so good mixed with cereal and some maple syrup. YUM! You’re so lucky!

  89. I have heard about Greek Yogurt before, but I have never tried it. I really don’t have a reason why, but I would like to. Here’s to hoping I win – it would be a great way to see what the fuss about Greek Yogurt is all about.

  90. love your giveaway!
    there’s actually strawberry oikos too! they’re so delicious!
    you could put them in “milk”shake. delicious way to use greek yogurt

  91. Oikos is my fav greek yogurt! you could use it for anything in place of sour cream, milk, regular yogurt, and even as “ice cream” i would freeze this stuff and it’s GREAT (and not to mention HEALTHY!).

    i also use it as my dressing for salads and in sandwiches.

  92. great giveaway. i would love to win the coupons because let me tell ya, they’re really expensive compared to other greek yogurts.

  95. YES! I’ve seen this exact yogurt at my grocery store, but it’s way more expensive than the Yoplait. I plan to try it when my liquid fast is over (don’t enter me in the contest to win!). I wish I could go to Blogher to meet you and many others….will put that out in the universe in case a plane ticket wanders in my direction.

  96. I am not sure we get that yoghurt here (in Aussie) I am a great lover of Greek Yoghurt anyway. Congrats on the sponsorship!

  97. Hmmm greek yoghurt yum. I’m picturing huge tub o yoghurt with Seussed sleeve peeking out……

    @Caz you gotta try Marrook Farm Greek Style Yoghurt…. amaaaazing.

  98. I’d love to try this! Been looking for an organic greek yogurt, had not found this one yet. I’ve had fage and like it with honey or as “sour cream” 😀

  100. Love greek yogurt, though I’ve never had this brand. I eat Fage usually or whatever the one is they sell at Trader Joe’s. I love it because of it’s high protein content. You can add some agave syrup and berries and almonds…or I’ll mix it with tabasco and dip my turkey patty in it…or use it to make tuna salad…mix it with chocolate protein powder and pretend it’s pudding…make the kidlings smoothies with it…I go through quite a lot every week! Have fun at Blogher!

  101. SO EXCITING for you!!!

    No need to enter me—-I just wanted to say congrats on the sponsor.

  103. I’m boring. I buy Stoneyfield plain and either throw it in the blender with strawberries for a smoothie or go savory and make tzatziki sauce. I love love love how thick and rich it is, when hubby tried it he jumped up and down because I had found “European style yogurt” not the “nasty watery vile American stuff they call yogurt”

    I hope you have fun at BlogHer!

  104. I haven’t tried it yet, but might just add it to the ever-growing grocery list on the fridge right now….

  105. My sister eats it all the time. It supposed to be healthier and does contain less sugar. Check out the sugar on a regular Dannon’s yogurt- pretty scary.

    Not so sure about the taste on Greek yogurt though. Had it once and it tasted kind of blah. Hoping I can come around to it.

  106. OK I love greek yogurt. My fav with frozen cherries! Have I mentioned those before? LOL Congrats on getting to BlogHer! Work on them about the giveaway guidelines!!!! 🙂

  107. I love the blueberry Oikos with a serving of plain fiber one cereal mixed in…every morning at work at 9:00!:)

  108. I’ve tried it, LOVE IT and danged if during their production stumble the one place in town that carried it in large tubs (the dread Wal-Mart) has dropped it. And I can’t seem to convince them to carry it again.

    Safeway has it now, but only in the tiny containers for about $2 each! I’m trying to convince them to stock the larger tubs, but no luck so far.

    I think my solution is going to be to buy this yogurt cheese strainer gizmo I found on Amazon and try to make my own thicker yogurt.

  110. I love greek yogurt but I have the hardest time finding it in Northern Utah. I’m about to demand that my local grocery store start caring it because I can’t go much longer without it….and driving 60 miles (one way) to purchase it is ridiculous.

  113. Miz, I CRACKED UP at the mental image of you dressed up like that. Hilarious. 😀

    No yogurt for me, though; I’m allergic to dairy. (Which is REALLY sad, considering I could eat sour cream WITH A SPOON. Hm. That might explain the stomachaches I used to get! Ha!)

  115. Thanks for that. I moved away from Greece when I was really young, and I really want to rediscover my heritage. I’ve been trying out a lot of random greek recipes, and the best I’ve found yet is this greek recipe – it totally remind me of my childhood. I dont remember much of it except for the spicy smells and tasty food on every street.
