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?

Um, are you not aware that lactose, which is found in dairy is a natural sugar? No where on planet earth (even in your country) will you find a single bit if yogurt without sugar. Your home country does not have magic sugar free milk. Buy plain yogurt, look at the ingredients amd if it diesnt have added sugar, then all sugar contained is from thr milk.

Learn what the labels mean. I make my own yogurt and viscosity has to do with how much the yogurt is strained and the tartness has to do with how long it's left to sit and the type of cultures used.

I never said that there is no natural sugar in plain yogurt, but that it is hard to find yogurt without added sugar. If you look at Chobani plain yogurt it has 4 grams of sugar. Yet, I often find plain yogurt with 15-20 grams of sugar.

gross fake yogurt

+1

I don't know, sounds like a decent nutritional profile. Lots of protein not too much sugar.

Is there added sugar? Why do u call it fake? I am gonna google it.

Yogurt, oatmeal, bananas. Ick.

Quinoa is OK but I prefer rice. I only eat kate sauteed (add some garlic and chicken broth).

I'm the pp who recommended it. It's not fake or gross. That is incredibly low sugar for yogurt, high protein, and no fat. Looking at my container: 15g protein, 0 fat, 6 sugar, 100 calories. Ingredients are nonfat milk, fructose and cultures. One can certainly do worse.

Does this have sucralose or some other sweetener?

Yeah I'd rather just have the regular sugary kind, or better yet, just sweeten my own plain yogurt with a little jam or something. I can't recall the brand - maybe Chobani - but when I was in NYC I found a fruit yogurt that was only sweetened with fruit. I've looked for it here with no luck so far.

Sucralose is three ingredients from the bottom of the list. The amount is so slight as to be negligible.

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?

Um, are you not aware that lactose, which is found in dairy is a natural sugar? No where on planet earth (even in your country) will you find a single bit if yogurt without sugar. Your home country does not have magic sugar free milk. Buy plain yogurt, look at the ingredients amd if it doesn't have added sugar, then all sugar contained is from the milk.

Learn what the labels mean. I make my own yogurt and viscosity has to do with how much the yogurt is strained and the tartness has to do with how long it's left to sit and the type of cultures used.

I never said that there is no natural sugar in plain yogurt, but that it is hard to find yogurt without added sugar. If you look at Chobani plain yogurt it has 4 grams of sugar. Yet, I often find plain yogurt with 15-20 grams of sugar.

It's not hard to find plain yogurt at wegmand without added sugar at all. Nancy's, siggi's, stonyfield, wegmans brand...the list goes on. I know this because I HATE sweet yogurt. Plus i make my own yogurt (that stuff yiu call real plain yogurt) using commercial yogurt as my starter and id never use sweetened yogurt for a starter. I closely check ingredients to see exactly what cultures they use.

If you couldn't find yogurt with added sugar, then you were looking at the back of a flavored yogurt container. Nobody has ruined yogurt. The reason yogurt from "your country" is watery is because it is not strained. European style yogurts are thick and strained and are considered a higher quality, hence greek yogurt.

If you like watery yogurt, then buy Hawthorne Valley Farms yogurt. Its absolutly awful, but from what you describe, i think you'd like it. Its really watery, sour, and tart. But yes, it contains dairy so you will see grams of sugar on the label.

It's fake yogurt because it has a thickener. Yogurt shouldn't have cornstarch. Plus, sucralose is gross in any quantity.

I am not sure why do your think "original" European style yogurts are actually thicker and strained. Maybe the new Western Europe ones. Given that I grew up in a European country, that was under the Ottoman rule for 500 years, and that our cuisine was heavily dominated by Turkish cuisine and that Turkey(and countries they ruled) was one of the very few European countries that even had yogurt until 20th century, should the yogurt Turks introduced to my country, in the middle ages, the watery, tart, full fat kind be the "real deal?"

Make sure 100% of stems are removed, then massage the kale with olive oil and salt. Squeeze it like play dough for a couple minutes, then try it. You'll feel less like a cow working its cud this way...

WTH maybe I don't feel like massaging my salad

I'm not a massage therapist. I hate kale too! It's like punishment salad.
