Hi all,

Just want to pass this along:

This weekend I found Dannon brand Greek yogurt at Meijer.  I got the plain kind.  It's 14g of protein per carton!

Generally, I stay away from flavored Greek varieties, because I find a lot of them have too much sugar.  But the plain is really good when used in recipes.

Tonight I mixed the whole carton with a little bit of Feta cheese and oregano.  It's so good as a dip for veggies or schmeared on some grilled chicken.

Also, if you look around Ellie Krieger's recipes on FoodNetwork.com,  you'll see she uses the plain kind in a lot of recipes, including onion dip and ranch dressing.

I am going to try the plain with fresh fruit and some agave nectar next.

Ok, to be honest, I dipped A CARROT in it.  The rest I had on a tortilla with grilled chicken and no veggies.  But I did eat one carrot!  LOL

I found it up here too!  Was I a happy camper!  And what made me even happier was it was only 99 cents as compared to 1.99 for OIKOS.  Meijers has FAGE but they're always out when I get over there.

I also stay away from the flavored ones - way too much sugar.

I have a container of Unjury strawberry flavored protein and I mix a scoop of that in it - makes it yummy and I get additional protein.

HI
I too found Dannon brand at Meijers! Our Meijers didn't carry the Fage 0%. But I ask enough times for Fage 0% that they finally started carrying it..Only problem was that when I went to Meijers they would be all out of it. So I had to ask what days the delivery guy came so I could be there to get some for myself. :o)
But now they carry Dannon Greek so now if one not on the self I can always hope for the other brand to be there.

You do have to be careful with sugars in yogurt. I love yogurt, but, being hypoglycemic, most of them are no no's.
