Get Them To The Greek?

  This morning my husband thought we'd have some fun.  We did a Greek Yogurt taste test.  A few days ago, I went out to the local grocery store and picked up five popular greek yogurts.  Yogurt choices can be quite overwhelming. 

In the end, I decided not to buy the sixth one I saw because it was over 200 calories.  I tried to get similiar flavors, but that wasn't easy.  Not all yogurts were available in the same flavors.  The yogurts I chose were as follows:

Yoplait Greek  (flavors include strawberry, key lime, peach, blueberry, honey vanilla, plain)
YoGreek (flavors include strawberry, blueberry, honey, vanilla)
OIKOS - Stonyfield Farm organic (flavors include cherry, peach, honey vanilla, caramel, chocolate)
Dannon Greek (flavors include strawberry, blueberry, honey, vanilla, plain)
Chobani Greek (flavors include strawberry, blueberry, pomegranate, black cherry, pineapple, lemon, honey, raspberry, peach, vanilla, plain)

Each brand differed in size, calories, protein and sugar.  I didn't find any with artificial sweeteners like Nutrasweet (aspertame) or Splenda (preferred-aspertame can trigger migraines in some people).  Greek yogurt seems not to be a wise choice if you trying to avoid sugar.  Of note...OIKOS from Stoneyfield claims to give 10% of their profits to the planet.  YoGreek had some very creative packaging separating the yogurt from the granola package.  The kids would love that.  We love the added crunch and health benefits of granola which is why we normally add "bear naked" to ours.  With YoGreek, it comes with the yogurt already.  All were non fat.

Yoplait Greek            YoGreek               OIKOS                    Dannon Greek             Chobani
6oz                            4.6oz                     4oz                           5.3oz                           6oz
160cal                       140cal                   110cal                      120cal                          140-160cal
14grams protein       11grams protein    10grams protein   12grams protein           14grams protein
20grams sugar          13grams sugar      16grams sugar     16grams sugar             18-21grams sugar

So, we lay out the available yogurts in individual bowls.  On the bottom of each, we wrote the name of the brand.  Then, we began tasting.  Which did we prefer in our little imperfect semi-scientific Saturday morning experiment?  Brian's choices differed from mine.  His were in the following order from tastiest to least tasty. 
Chobani 1, Dannon 2, YoGreek 3, Yoplait 4, and Oikos 5.
I chose:
Chobani 1, YoGreek 2, Dannon 3, Yoplait 4, and Oikos 5.
I'm not sure if this will change what we purchase in the future, but it did open our eyes a bit.  I'm thinking, once we deplete our current Greek yogurts, we may go back to non Greek and get our protein from other foods.  I don't like to eat all that sugar.  Maybe all this will help you decide if you want to go Greek.
