Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt
Stonyfield Farm has introduced its Oikos Organic 0% Fat Greek Yogurt.
For centuries, the Greeks strained their yogurt to remove extra liquid, or whey. That gives each 6-ounce cup of Greek yogurt roughly twice as much protein (16 grams) as ordinary yogurt. A little of the calcium is removed with the whey, but plain Greek yogurt still has slightly less (20 percent of a day's worth) than plain ordinary yogurt (30 percent).
But there is a huge difference in taste. Greek yogurt is tangy and much more creamy. One spoonful and you'll want to double check that it's really fat free! It is...and it only contains 100 calories (plain).
Want an even thicker, richer-tasting yogurt? Try Fage Total 0% Strained Yogurt. Try using it in place of real sour cream. Fage is available at Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and a raft of regional supermarket chains.
