Why does Fage not want me to stir my yogurt

[Uppsala9496]

Suggestion: Please Do Not Stir. It is printed on the cup right next to the statement to keep refrigerated.


It's the Total 0% with the fruit in the side cup. I always scoop the fruit out and stir it in with the yogurt. I can't eat it any other way. Plain greek yogurt is pretty nasty.

Because greek yogurt has no stabilizers, so stirring it can reduce it to liquid.

I bought an oikos cup to try it out. Got home last night and I can't find it. It's probably in the back of my car still. Too cold to run out the office and get it.

 

[Uppsala9496]

At least it isn't warm out. That wouldn't be fun to open.

keep stirring until it becomes a smoothie

Fixed that for you. The full fat stuff tastes great.

^^^THIS!!

I first had full fat yogurt an embarrassingly short while ago, and I have a hard time eating anything else now. My preferred brand/style is Cabot plain, and I mix a bit of honey in it. There's nothing better.

Stirring yogurt reduces it to liquid. The proper way is to fold it gently into itself a couple of times.

Oikos is pretty bad. It's like Yoplait's answer to Greek yogurt. Try Chobani.

I agree, I can't eat greek yogurt. It's too sour.

 

[Saint Nick]

Yeah, Chobani is about as good as it gets with Greek yoghurt.

I have dannon low-fat yogurt and it just says refigerate. I stir it every time i open

Of course it does. It's loaded with saturated fat!

I go for the 2% stuff usually.

Saturated fats aren't the devil.

I do that if I'm running late for work and want something to snack on in the car. Grab a yogurt and shake the hell out of it, it will quickly turned into a smoothie consistency. Then I can drink it without the need for a spoon.

 

[IronWing]

This stuff...

Or this stuff (not quite as thick)...

So good.

Safeway brand lemon greek = bestest.

Fage 2% + Walnuts + Honey.

You're welcome.

 

[BurnItDwn]

They do not want you to stir it because it might make the stench of it reach your nose which may cause nausea. At least that's how I feel whenever I smell any sort of yogurt...

 

[Slew Foot]

I usually eat non fat+ berries+ honey/agave nectar. Tastes pretty good and keeps the saturated fat away.

Dannon has gelatin in most of their yogurts

really? I like the Oikos better than chobani. Chobani just has a strange pasty taste to it that I can't get over whereas Oikos feels smoother and less like I'm eating liquid goat cheese.

Fage is pretty good (probably because its 2% instead of 0) but I like to use the plain flavor to make sauces instead of eating it straight.

 

[SheHateMe]

I tried the Oikos Blueberry Greek Yogurt. One spoonfull and it was rinsed down the sink.

I'll stick with regular yogurt until I warm up to greek.

 

[darkxshade]

Make own yogurt
Strain into greek
profit

Liberté Méditerranée yogurt. Made with whole milk and cream, sugar, some manner of fruit, and, oddly enough, nonfat milk.
Good stuff.
