Fage Fat Free Greek Yogurt Review

Rating:

Fage Greek Yogurt I recently asked readers to share a low calorie food with us, and got some interesting responses [see them here]. One of the foods listed was Fage Total Greek Yogurt so I thought I would give it a try.

On the strength of the recommendations, I bought a 16 ounce tub in Mrs.Greens Natural Grocer for $5.49 - twice the price of other yogurts - but I reasoned that I planned on eating a lot of yogurt in the week. One week later and most of the yogurt is still in the refrigerator. I am used to the slightly sweet yogurts with some kind of flavor - preferable fruit, but Fage Greek 0% yogurt puts a whole other spin on 'plain' yogurt. It is thick - I'll give it that, but it is slightly sour and acidic and closer to sour cream in taste.

Nutritious Junk just did a review, and she put it nicely when she said, "dont expect a flavorful explosion" and "it doesn't exactly taste like traditional yogurt you may be used to because Greek yogurt tends to be made differently." [link]. She liked it overall, but I can't say the same. I just can't get over the fact that there is no sweetness to it and that it was just like thick sour cream.

One serving is 1 cup or 8 ounces, and has 120 calories, no fat, 20 grams of protein and only 9 grams total carbohydrates from the 9 grams of sugars. The ingredients are simply skim milk and live active yogurt cultures! So it is definitely not bad in terms of nutrition, but I'm sorry to say that I will not be buying this again - unless I need to use yogurt in a smoothie or something. There seems to be quite a following for this yogurt though, so if you have had it, please leave a comment and let us know your thoughts!
