Question

Just curious, why do we only talk about using non fat greek yogurt. is there a reason nobody is talking about using plain nonfat yogurt. not the Greek type?  

Answer 1

Has anyone tried sugar free jello or sugar free cheesecake pudding with plain Greek yogurt

Comments

@blowbyblow58953 yes I have tried sugar free jello very tasty!  

---

@banting679 Vervoort the sugar free pudding isn't bad either

---

@samira14 thin it with alittle ff cool whip

---

I didn’t like it. It was way too sweet for me and hurt my stomach when I ate it.  

---

Honestly, I don’t remember. I followed a WW recipe. It’s been over a year since I made it.  

---

1 tub of regular plain nonfat yogurt and one pkg of fat free pudding. loving the white chocolate, then the butterscotch. addictive!

Answer 3

Thanks for asking. I wondered the same. They’re both zero points. However, I have gotten to like the Greek better.  

Comments

@coextensive the Greek has more protein.  

Answer 4

I have often wondered this too!  

Answer 5

Plain is 5 points and 13 grams protein per cup. Greek (Fage) is 2 points and 23 grams protein per cup on green. That is why I choose Greek.  

Comments

@banting679 no its not. plain non fat yogurt is 0 pts. i use it all the time

---

On blue plan

---

@rory I am on green.  

Answer 6

Greek yogurt has the more protein than regular yogurt.  

Answer 7

On the blue plan Greek plain yogurt is 0pts and has 17 g protein

Comments

@samira14 sorry I ment to say I use Greek plain yogurt cuz it has more protein

---

@samira14 for me I don't think there's a taste difference, I like the thickness of the Greek

Answer 9

So is non fat regular Dannon yogurt

Answer 10

I prefer Greek for the consistency, and I think other people do as well. The added benefit is that we also use it for two ingredient dough.  

Comments

@samira14 I always add fruit, granola or honey

---

I've used non greek 0% plain yogurt for the 2 ingredient dough, and it worked just as good.  

Answer 11

Plain non-greek is not as nutritious, has less protein and has a higher sugar content.  

Answer 12

Non fat Greek is zero points on purple and higher protein.  

Answer 13

Non fat plain regular yogurt is ZERO POINTS ON BLUE. i use it all the time for dips and chicken salad. greek yogurt has too much of a tang to it for some things for me.  

Answer 14

I love NFG because it helps my sour cream addiction  

Comments

@dunkin me too haha i even put it in the sour cream container. Hubby has no idea  

Answer 15

I use if for my overnight oats every day

Answer 16

I prefer the plain when making a parfait. The smell of the Greek is not good for me.  

Answer 17

I use either, depending on what it's being used for. They are both zero point foods.  

Answer 18

Because there is about triple the protein in Greek yogurt

Answer 19

People eat Greek yogurt for the protein. I love that its thicker too.  

Answer 20

The thickness of it makes it usable for so many different things. I use it in place of sour cream all the time and today I used it in place of mayonnaise when I made tuna salad!  

Answer 21

The Greek has more protein and everyone these days seems to be protein crazy. Both are 0SP.  

Answer 22

Am I the only one that can’t stomach plain Greek yogurt? Ugh it’s soooo gross to me! I love sour cream, regular Greek yogurt but the Greek plain is horrible. I’ve even tried to put ranch seasoning in it to make a dip for veggies. Can’t do it  

Answer 23

Just use a little maple syrup or frozen fruit soften a little at room temperature of microwave

Answer 24

Explain to me, plain yogurt and Greek taste the same to me Greek is thicker just like sour cream

Answer 25

I think Greek yogurt is more encouraged because it has more protein and nearly half the carbs of regular nonfat.  

Answer 26

Healthier. Keeps your fuller/more protein.
