If you make yogurt smoothies

What yogurt do you use? I've been using fat free French vanilla, and they're delicious! I'm just wondering if there is a lower sugar option I should try.

Re: If you make yogurt smoothies

i use greek vanilla fat free with some plain mixed in.

If you make yogurt smoothies

I use 2% chobani Greek original.

Re: If you make yogurt smoothies

Have you tried plain milk kefir? No sugar (I believe) and healthier than yogurt (in my opinion).

Re: If you make yogurt smoothies

I like to use Greek yogurt.

I use greek yogurt for the protein. Sometimes flavored, sometimes plain depending on what I have on hand.

Re: If you make yogurt smoothies

Chobani Greek yogurt with some kind of fruit mixed in for the protein.

Re: If you make yogurt smoothies

I like the vanilla, too, but you could use plain Greek yogurt (more protein) and just add a splash of vanilla extract. The fruit will probably add enough sweetness (especially if you use sweet fruits like bananas or mango) that you don't need sweetened yogurt. (Sometimes if I'm just using something like berries, it's not sweet enough for me without adding in a sweetener).

I've been making green smoothies without yogurt -- just 1 cup water (or unsweetened almond milk), with fresh spinach leaves 1/2 cup frozen pineapple, 1/2 cup frozen mango, and 1/2 banana. It's quite sweet with no sugar added in, so if you used unsweetened yogurt, I think it would be the same.

Re: If you make yogurt smoothies

We always use plain Greek yogurt.
