I buy cheap store brand yogurt for $2/qt and make smoothies with it. I wish I could find whole milk yogurt at the store, but they don’t seem to have it.

I tried Chobani Greek yogurt and didn’t like it at all. Too thick, with a weird grain-like texture.

It’s easy to make your own. Heat a gallon of milk to just short of boiling, then let it cool down to bathwater temperature. Stir in a dollop of yogurt from the store (or your previous batch). Put it in a warm bath overnight. We use a cooler with a few inches of hot water in the bottom. In the morning, it’s yogurt. If you have an Instant Pot, it’s even easier.

I eat FAGE zero fat, no added sugar yogurt every morning.
it has more protein/serving than any other brand. It is made in NY State and Greece.

I put blueberries on it. Fresh in season or frozen in the winter.

I do not buy the yogurt with the berries mixed in at the bottom. That has too much sugar.

It costs more than $2/qt, but both Stonybrook Farms and Dannon make a readily available whole milk yogurt. Which store do you go to? And where?

Try the cheap store brand Greek yogurt. It tastes like regular yogurt and isn’t so sour.

Greek yogurt is nothing but strained yogurt. Line a colander in a bowl with a couple of paper towels and let it drain a few hours or overnight. The whey (the high carb part of yogurt) drains into the bowl and you’re left with a thick “Greek” yogurt which can be substituted for cream cheese in a cheese cake or whatever.

It cleared up our dog’s severe yeast infection that was caused by antibiotics or something. He loves yogurt and now begs for it.

I should go back to making homemade yogurt. Varying the milk fats and cream give you all sorts of yogurts, cheeses and drinks. I’ve put my recipe/s on FR cooking threads if you do a search.
