Favorite Greek yogurt brand?

Something similar to the thick style one to me is the whole-fat Greek yogurt from another chain. And only a few dollars.

That chain is no where near me either... other local stores or the warehouse club. Washington state is beautiful but sad at the same time....

Actually I enjoy those two options too but what I truly prefer is yogurt I've prepared myself at home. I usually produce two batches every week. I pick up a small container of yogurt with either two or five percent fat plus a full gallon of whole milk. I empty the milk into my appliance and select the heating cycle for yogurt. Once it cools I stir in the small container using a spatula. I then choose the sixteen hour yogurt cycle and return later to a large amount of finished yogurt. At that stage I sometimes strain away the liquid if I prefer a thicker texture.

Which taste option for the shake mix are you picking? That honey yogurt variety seems appealing. I really enjoy that thick style. It's smooth and yummy. Might give the plain flavored mix a shot.

What berries do you like? No stores from that chain near me either. Seems like a really unique store.

That's amazing that you create yogurt yourself. Is it possible to put portions in the freezer?

So jealous you have a store from that chain!

Blueberries dominate in most batches while strawberry shows up only occasionally. The yogurt turns out to be quite a bargain from the store.

I used to feel envious of everyone else, right up until a new spot showed up nearby a few weeks back.

Seems like you're trying to make us beg for your thoughts on it.......goodness, fine...."hey there....what about that market..?" ....now speak!....

I get my own mixed formulas prepared to my liking and tend to purchase quite a lot with each order. They suit me perfectly. I could set some aside in the freezer but go through it rapidly enough that there's no need. I have noticed others who store theirs for longer though, either as big frozen blocks or shaped cold treats.

Interesting. I love that other popular chain.

100% true. But do y'all have another discount chain nearby? That's some sweet shopping. ETA: favorite yogurt is the non-fat plain version of the thick style one. 2nd place is the high protein one from the popular brand. Do not buy the protein focused yogurt from that other line. It's not yogurt at all.

Cool. And the cashback app has like 10 percent off for our local store here.

Kidding around about having brisket on hand. Greek meals really appeal to me, yet I feel lucky never to have tried the genuine article, otherwise the local versions might lose their appeal, and they taste fine as is.

More details would be appreciated. I'd enjoy opinions from a true specialist.

I produce homemade yogurt from an entire gallon of A2 milk in each batch with my pressure cooker. The taste turns out excellent. Those four quarts cover my needs for nearly thirty days. The whole process feels straightforward since the components come out better and expenses drop.

It's straightforward to produce your own yogurt and cheese if you start with quality ingredients. Plenty of online tutorials exist for the process. Store-bought versions often include additives to extend shelf life and improve appearance and consistency. In this area, superior options are available at comparable cost, so that's what we go for. Still, the majority around here stick with the processed kinds or even the sweetened varieties.

Exactly!!!

There's a picture attached. I prepare far too much barbecue following the Texas approach with regional oak wood, basic salt plus pepper seasoning, and a gradual cook at low temperatures using an offset smoker.

At our place we prepare unprocessed high-fat yoghurt using the slow cooker. It's truly unique. My sibling owns several dairy animals. Unfortunately the children fail to enjoy this because they were raised on commercial Greek-style yoghurt. Those pointless added flavours have spoiled their sense of taste.

Yeah, I get what you mean. Too bad they aren't fans of the stuff. Owning my own dairy animals would be perfect. Someday once the kids are more grown.

Curious which granola varieties or makers others prefer.

That's a cool idea. It never crossed my mind to mix in walnuts or pecans until now.

I always grab the oversized packs at the warehouse retailer. They supply the crisp bite I'm after. Exactly like an ice cream sundae.

Was that tasty brisket your own handiwork???

Actually, ma'am, that was just me grabbing a photo. Chuckling here, I enjoy smoking brisket but I rarely bother since the whole process of getting it ready, cooking it low and slow, then letting it sit takes around fifteen hours. Still, you can't go far without running into a barbecue spot, with maybe half a dozen or so close by within ten miles.

I felt thrilled believing you had prepared that dish. What a letdown... I never use a smoker for it. Season it first, then cook slowly over time before letting it sit. Excellent barbecue just doesn't exist in my current location. I long for it. Envious!

Weekly I get the smoker started. Brisket counts as a bigger undertaking though. Chicken fish and steak show up often here. Ribs sausage and chicken receive frequent smoke sessions too. Pork butt with brisket appears during special events. A couple years ago turkeys were handled for myself and the neighbors.

I discovered some excellent dark chocolate flavored with sea salt. There are sixteen grams of sugar in it, however we rarely consume sweets these days aside from festive occasions, so taking a spoonful seems worthwhile to me.

I've been hunting around for your comments in this forum! There's no way to put into words just how much I long for that stuff while living over here in Germany.

Whoa, this arrangement looks really impressive!!!
