Seriously. I have no idea how this one slipped by me. I love yogurt. I’m a yogurt addict. Sometimes I eat three or four containers a day. My usual fare is Dannon Light and Fit Carb and Sugar Control. With 60 cals and 5 grams of protein, it’s got just about the right calorie to protein ratio. (I try and stick to 1 gram protein for every 10 calories.)

But my world changed last week when I was browsing Trader Joe’s. I picked up a container of Fage greek strained yogurt. The non-fat plain has 90 calories and SIXTEEN grams of protein. And the serving size is huge. Much larger than the Dannon cups.

My new nightly ritual is greek yogurt with mixed berries. It’s so decadent, that I really feel like I’m having a bad-for-you dessert. I use half-thawed frozen berries (a blend of blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries from the frozen food section of Trader Joe’s) and a few pumps of liquid splenda. Stir it all together, and enjoy!

If you’d rather a pre-blended yogurt, it comes in a number of lightly sweetened flavors, too. Can’t vouch for any of them, as I haven’t tried them yet. But from what I hear, the’re awesome.

I also learned that Stonyfield makes it’s own Greek yogurt called Oikos, that supposedly is available at Safeway (at least locally here in Sacramento). I have yet to check it out… though I honestly don’t recall seeing it at my usual Safeway at 19th and S.
