Greek Yogurt (1 Viewer)

I live in a Greek neighborhood (Astoria) and get some REALLY awesome authentic Greek goods here. The restaurants leave a bit to be desired especially when you hear the microwave go beep beep. :covri: Even Telly Savalas has a place here.

On to Greek yogurt. OMG that stuff is off the hook good. All the local Mediteranean and Greek specialty stores make it themselves. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. All I know is the stuff is good.

I don't know anything about those name brand greek yogurts, but I do know that you can use the greek style in cheese cake.

One recipe I have is a spinach quiche with greek olives and I top it off with greek yogurt and it is yummy yummy yummy.
 
Second the Chobani as being good stuff, really thick yogurt. As far as yogurt being healty, read somewhere that the healty part is the way your body processes it. Have a yogurt with my lunch everyday and it is hard to find sugar free yogurt, but the sugars in Greek yogurt are suppose to be mostly from the fruit.
 
You guys know you can add some of your plain "greek yogurt" to heated whatever brand of milk you like, wrap it in towels to sit over night on the counter, and bamm more greek yogurt.
 
I've heard of that. Isn't the container pump action?

I see what you did here.

How exactly do you get milk to stay in a towel? :idunno:
 
Last week, I picked up some regular key lime yogurt at the grocery store and was able to tolerate it. But then I looked at the ingredients and determined that besides low-calorie/non-fat, it wasn't very healthy.

it also wasn't "regular yogurt" if it sported low calorie or non-fat

that Yoplait key lime non fat, low calorie, chemically laden, hyperprocessed stuff doesn't qualify as yogurt

Oops, that wasn't very clear.

Heat a quart of milk or more in a large pan till milk is hot to the touch, add 3 heaping tablespoons of plain "greek yogurt" and stir. Poor hot milk and yogurt mix into large tupperware container and wrapp with four or five towels. Let sit on counter over night (12 hours). enjoy

make sure the yogurt you add has active cultures or it won't work

Third, it's my fav. brand. I like the Honey flavor the best.
