Or just eat full fat sour cream?


NP, but why would you want to do this? Sour cream and yogurt have very different tastes? Or are you being snarky?


A little bit snarky... but mostly bcs US yogurt companies have took something nice and destroyed it. This post might have been influenced by my weekend shopping it Wegmans where I failed to find any yogurt with even remotely small amount of sugar. Even plain Greek yogurt had the same amount of sugar as Yoplait Whips. Here I was trying to get my teen DS yogurt he likes and it had more sugar than ice cream. Probably, because in my country, yogurt is very different than yogurt here, yogurt is almost liquid, and all yogurts here are more like sour cream in consistency but not in taste. Real, plain yogurt is awesome, I have no idea how to explain it, maybe think of Kefir, but a bit thicker to get the picture of what I called yogurt when growing up?


Plain whole milk yogurt, whether Greek-but-made-in-America or thin-from-your-country like you are accustomed to, has sugar in it, no matter where it is produced. That's because milk has sugar in it. A cup of plain whole cow's milk (3.25% fat) has 12.3 grams of sugar. Not added sugar, milk sugar. All milk has sugar in it. A cup of human breast milk has 17 grams of sugar.

Plain Greek or regular yogurt does not have the same amount of sugar as Yoplait whips; I think you must have misread the labels. According to the nutritional labels:

a 4 oz. container of Yoplait Greek 100 Whips, Blueberry flavor, has 12 grams of sugar, 9 grams of protein, and 0 grams of fat. There is added sugar in this yogurt.

an 8 oz serving--so twice as much--of Plain Fage Nonfat Greek yogurt has 9 grams of sugar, 23 grams of protein, and 0 grams of fat. There is no added sugar, this is all milk sugar.

And if you prefer "thinner" yogurt, an 8 oz serving (again, twice as much as in a Whips container) of Dannon plain nonfat yogurt has 15 grams of sugar, 10 grams of protein, and 0 grams of fat. Again, no added sugar.

Perhaps PP just eats really sucky ice cream?
