Love just plain Greek yogurt with strawberries!!! 😍
Corn starch is probably used in the "fruit" blend as a thickening agent.
I've been binging on your videos and I love them! Most brands of plain Greek yogurt are too tart but the Fage 2% is so smooth and creamy. I totally recommend it.
My favorite 2% Fage
I love using greek yogurt as a substitute for sour cream!!
Samantha Balak yesss. I do this all the time.
You're so right. That plain Greek yogurt is so tart by itself! I really like the idea of adding vanilla extract and cinnamon. I'll have to try that! Do you have any videos talking about your take on 0%fat yogurt vs 2%? I've heard good and bad and would love to hear your point of view in a video!
Jessica Walla omg I thought I was the only one that did this
just get the plain oikos and add a little honey for flavor... what do you think? +Becca Bristow
great information! another thing to note is the price on those ones you showed with 18 and 16 g of sugar - they are so expenive not to mention packed with sugar. as where the non-fat greek stuff in my opinion is (HUGE container from SAMS) is under $3.00 and lasts me about 10 days
Sorry guys but as Greeks from Greece told me the other day, the stuff that is sold in America is Greek in name only. It is not actually Greek yogurt; they said it doesn't even taste the same.
Oh my gosh, I honestly expected you to have thousands of views and subscribers! You're really good at what you do, and you definitely deserve way more than you currently have. Hope you reach your goals :) Subscribed!
I prefer Fage-% over Chobani, but I'm with ya on adding the cinnamon and vanilla! I also add a packet of stevia to sweeten it a bit... so so good!
Josh Person I really like Fage, I think I prefer it too! And yes, adding stevia is delicious!!
everyone in the world needs to be watching you !!
I love eating plain Greek yoghurt, I think it tastes better than the ones with the added "fruit"
The Skinny on Almond/Soy/Coconut Milk? or something along those lines? I've been trying different types and I'm curious of your thoughts on them? Thanks.
+DaMora Upchurch OMG YEEEESS!!
yes!
yes please!!!
I get the store brand plain Greek yogurt and it's even better than the chobani ones
This is so useful! How do you feel about 0% fat versus 2% or full?
I am binge watching all your "The Skinny on" videos. These are really helpful ! Could you make one about pasta? Is there really a better choice? I buy whole grain ones but idk.. I recently cut down the carbs a lot but I miss pasta !! Keep up the good work, I luv u girl xo
Thanks so much for watching! Whole wheat pasta is higher in vitamins, minerals, and fiber, so it is a better choice if you're going to make pasta at home. Personally I love pasta and wouldn't want to cut it out of my diet, I just have a small portion each time I have it! (Think the size of your fist) And I don't eat it all the time :)
You have to add in carbohydrates turn into glucose (blood sugar) which raises the total amount of sugar in a serving size. Also vanilla extract and cinnamon do contain sugar.
Damon light and fit is better. Only 7 sugar. Still has all the extra ingredients tho but I'm ok with it for a yogurt since I don't have it everyday
For those watching cholesterol levels or staring down diabetes, use that yogurt in overnight oats. There are many great little youtube videos to get you inspired. This week I have had banana and chocolate, apple and cinnomon, fresh bluberries. Basically you can get variety while keeping to a healthy diet.
I like it for smoothies. Much cheaper than protein powder.
sometimes I add my own jam in a healthy portion size. I also take a quarter of a sugary yogurt and put it in plain nonfat greek yogurt
dena appleby That sounds really good! I like that mixing idea - so smart!
Wats a healthy portion size
I absolutely love your chanel! it's so nice to get tips from someone not constantly trying to sell something!
Thank u so much..I always stay a way from sweet stuff. I eat light n fit Greek vanilla yogurt. It's delicious 😋
Wow! A real eye opener! Thanks for the info. Definitely will look at my greek yogurt again. Keep up the great work!
+mrandmrsstackhouse thanks so much!
More fat content in yogurt is absolutely fine and healthy as long as the sugar content is low. Mixing fat and sugar is not a good combination but fat with protein is a healthy choice. Too many people are scared of fat when around 60% of your brain is fat. Your body needs it! The secret is the right combination of foods and not eating all day but having around 1 to 2 meals daily and preferably in a 2 to 6 hour eating window.
In Ireland there is a company called glenisk and they make VANILLA yogurt and it's got 10g of sugar
corn starch is the original thickener like back in the great depression. when your food was to runny it was add
Just started watching your channel and I love it!:)
You should do a "The Skinny" on granola bars/protein bars.
One on types of cereals would be good too:)
yesss to the protien bar idea😁😁
Fantastic video about Greek Yogurt, I was looking for more information about it and your video answers every single important thing I need to know about it, perfect !
Please do the skinny on “healthy” marketer snacks. Like the Justin’s peanut butter cup, and healthy pop corns, and other snacks!
Can you do a skinny on restaurants and fast food chains, please!?
we eat plain Greek yogurt at my house. my son loves it! he's 9 months old and I mix the plain chobani with his pureed baby food. I'm glad it's the best option for us and him!
Oh that's awesome!! Good for you momma!
When they remove the fat they add sugar to compensate. I eat the full fat yoghurt and add sweetener stevia or erythritol with zero glycemic index. all sugar is natural, comes from sugar cane or sugar beat. Just is high impact load is why it’s bad for you, diabetes, heart disease, inflammation, Alzheimer’s etc not to mention tooth decay
New subscriber and love your videos! Can you do one on protein powders?
I use coconut sugar inside my natural greek yogurt
What's funny is that all the Greek yogurt brands are not the same as the ones we have in Greece. They basically sell them everywhere else but in Greece it seems. Kinda weird. I hadn't even heard of Chobani until a few minutes ago. Not a single one of the popular Greek yogurt we eat here in Greece was even mentioned in this video.
can you do a video about different types of chips/ salty snacks?
Love that idea!!
Me too! I have a potato chip addiction. But I look for healthier alternatives all the time!
Here’s what I do I buy the Stonyfield brand Greek yogurt full fat whole plain yogurt. I add two packs of Stevia sweetener and frozen berries myself mix it all together in a big bowl .
Thats alot of work
Thanks For Explaining Greek Yogurt, Great Video
Just discovered your channel :) I love your nutrition videos!
Plain chobani, honey and blueberries are the best
Love your videos! I'm starting to get more healthy and your videos are extremely helpful 😊
Hey ! I really enjoyed this video !! I love hearing about health since I have struggled with my weight for awhile. I was wondering if you could do a video about protein bars and maybe even some healthy recipes you make.
Thanks so much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Protein bars would definitely be a good one to make a video on, thanks for the suggestion! I will definitely be doing some quick + easy healthy recipes soon, I already have some ideas for them! So look out for those coming soon :)
Becca Kay Awesome ! Your video was also very informative about yogurts. I can't until your new video !!
Becca Kay oh and also checked your blog which I love !! (:
cnsfashioncitizen93 Weeee thank you!
So if the sugar is low, would a just a plain store brand be okay? Like Walmart Greek yogurt? Or any other grocery store.
Yep! Sugar is sugar, so store brand is completely okay! The only real difference between the name brands (ex. Chobani) vs. the store brands is the variety/number of different kinds of live active cultures that are in the yogurt. Chobani may have for example 5 different types of beneficial bacteria present in the yogurt vs. a store brand may only have one or two. That's the only real difference!
Hey Becca! Love these videos and you:). I was hoping you could do one on salad dressings?!
Mistake! Greek yogurt is not yogurt. Why? If yogurt is squeezed out of the whey it is no longer yogurt, it is already another product.
I eat low fat yogurt is that good but is have fruit and it is that good for me to eat
Thank you, for the eye opening.👍 I always thought hey this is healthy I should eat it. Makes sense. ☺
The plain is great.. Taste like the cultured buttermilk we used to get
Just add some dill, some cucumber, some garlic, a pinch of salt, and a splash of lemon juice
Well done! You are very informative.
But I love plain yogurt, just the plain 😊😊😊... I don't like flavoured ones.
me too!
Ditto. Occasionally I'll add berries and almond slices, but usually it's plain. Or I make a healthful dip with it.
Apple Mae me too!
Flavoured are not even yogurt
I love adding agave to my plain yogurt! A little bit goes a long way!
6 years later I like the Greek light and fit yoplait
how much protein should i expect in a greek yogurt?
Love these types of videos!! I'll be watching all of them on your channel;;
Very informative and helpful thank you very much
I love yogurt but I definately can't think about what it is! lol One day I do want to make my own BUT the easiest method I've seen requires an instapot which isn't cheap! I know there's other ways but my kitchen is timtom tiny!
Was eating plain Greek yogurt during this XD. I got it because it has more protein and fat than the flavored ones and I'm trying to keep my weight up, plus you can use it in cooking or making dressings etc. c: enjoy~
can pcod pateint have Greek yogurt??
I can't do Greek yogurt. Idk what it is, maybe the texture since it's so thick. Love regular yogurt though. can you do a skinny on just regular yogurt? or just recommend one that isn't filled with ingredients I can't pronounce lol please
What types yogurt is good for your healthy
Get the dannon Greek yogurt has like 6g of sugar
Does it have natural sugars in it or added?
Love this. As a big yogurt fan, I wanna ask how do you choose regular yogurt? I don't really like greek yogurt cos they are too thick.
+Olivia Zhao Personally I don't eat regular yogurt because I don't think it's worth it or filling at all (very little protein, usually a decent amount of sugar). That being said, I never really look at those labels so I don't have one I would recommend. I would give greek yogurt another try! It's a much better option, and the more you eat it the more you will get used to the difference in texture :)
Thanks Becca~
Beware viewer! Chobani is not an actual Greek yogurt. It is not produced in Greece! The term "Greek" is a non-protected term that was used by the Chobani company to trick its customers into associating the product with famous Greek yogurt. However, it's actually produced in New York. Fage is, on the other hand an authentic Greek yogurt. Buy Fage, who doesn't lie to you about the product that it is.
You are so pretty! Great video :)
Thank you so much! :)
Miss Betty yes, she, is, I, wish, I, was, her, Boy friend
Please give us the "skinny" on pre packaged/fast food restaurant salads- when you're in a hurry which ones to love and which ones to leave! Also- the skinny on wine?!
Sierra Elkin Hahahaa oh the skinny on wine...I don't even know if I want to think about that! I love my wine too much. Thats actually a good idea, tho! I was thinking about doing a "skinny on salads" and cover toppings/dressings and whatnot, so keep a look out for that! And thanks so much for watching!! :)
You`re so right!
It's a pleasure to watch your videos, they are really helpful! And you're really pretty and seem to be a nice person!
I just suscribed to your channel....greetings from Germany!
I am so glad you are finding them helpful! Makes my day :) Welcome to my channel, glad to have you apart of it! xoxo
You deserve way more subscribers girl definitely subbing! :)
Thank you sooo much!!
I adore plain yogurt! espy the greek stuff. :O)
I heard that greek yoghurt is different in Ireland it doesn't have much protein, is that true? we haven't got the chobani brand
I'm not sure! I'm only familiar with the brands that we have here in the states. You would have to look at the labels, that's the easiest way to know for sure! :)
GREAT VIDEO! What lipstick are you wearing, very pretty!
Thank you for the video, it was educational for me.
Thanks for sharing the food/nutrition videos. My favorite type of yogurt is plain Icelandic yogurt. It's even thicker than Greek...I also use it as a good cream cheese substitute for desserts. :-)
One should know that when you add fruit you are also adding sugar. This video does not base on facts.
That much sugar won’t do shit carbs would make you fatter because sugars are burnt faster
Idiot, if you look at the glycemic index, fruit takes a while to process in your body, meaning the sugar is absorbed very slowly and doesn't spike your blood sugar. Also fruit have many other benefits that make them necessary in your diet. Yeah don't over eat on fruit, because eventually that slow absorbing sugar will accumulate, but have them in moderation and especially as replacements to sugar.
Mitchell Carson it’s still sugar just work out and stfu
Skinny on flavored oatmeal pls
Great suggestion!! Thanks!
The yogurt you guys are eating in the States is definitely not a Greek yogurt. It is unfortunately just a brand name. You need to come to Greece in order to eat the original thing
After watching this I couldn't stop blinking
Wink wink
Liquid stevia ok?
Just curious where your shirt is from! Super cute!
Forever 21 :)
Thanks for the video
Correct me if I'm wrong but do you eat the oikos yogurt? I thought I saw that in a different video
I think it was plain.
I like the oikos triple zero ones! Sometimes I will have the traditional toasted coconut vanilla flavor (they taste amazing), but they are higher in sugar so I have those more sparingly, as a treat!
An excellent review!
Stop shaking the yogurt / it is making me dizzy !!
LOVE THIS
It helps prevent my depression.
I love plain yogurt!
Are you basically reading the wikipedia page?
None of these products is Greek yogurt.
Many of those are fake greek yogurt. Instead of straining out the whey, concentrating the protein, while reducing the sugar, they add thickeners. The thing about the Oikos brand, is that it was used by Stoneyfield, which makes real greek yogurt. Due to the popularity of Oikos, Dannon bought the rights to use the Oikos name simultaneously for about a year while Stoneyfield Oikos was slowly phased out. Also Yoplait greek yogurt, was not only not greek yogurt, it wasn't yogurt at all. After a lawsuit, they began making actual yogurt, but their regular line is still a mixture of industrial by-products thickened with fish gelatin to mimic yogurt, with none of the healthy bacteria.
Also, just because you don't like something, doesn't mean it tastes bad. You don't seem to understand that your opinions are subjective, and not objective. If you've ever wondered why people like ugly colors, while you like pretty ones, it's because your opinions are just that, opinions.
Also, this is to help you, please don't take it as an insult, but a couple English grammar tips. You'd either say, "why it became so popular, or why it has become so popular." Became is the simple past form of become implies something that is no longer happening. "It has become" would be the present perfect, and would refer to something which has occurred, and continues to this day. You would never mix the past form with the perfect form, as it's redundant, aside from being grammatically incorrect.
Speaking on the subject of redundancy, one would say "much higher." Higher is the comparative form of high, it already means an increase, therefore "more" is unnecessarily. I only say this, as it will help you with your profession in the future.
Thanks miss
Try Isey sky yoghurts Omg so good
please change the autofocus on your camera to manual to target your face. it's hard to focus on you, when all of the focus is on those candles. they're beautiful, but still
