- My family tried plain Greek yogurt. 4 grocery stores And we ranked them from worst to best.
- I found Trader Joe’s Greek nonfat yogurt It was too sour and my daughter said she couldn’t eat it.
- Wegmans organic plain nonfat Greek yogurt had the perfect delicate flavor.
My family is big on Greek yogurt: It’s low in carbs, high in protein, and contains probiotics, making it a satisfying breakfast or snack for my 9-year-old daughter.
Greek yogurt has also become an increasingly popular item in grocery stores in recent years — in fact, the global market for Greek yogurt is worth several billion dollars, according to market research firm Skyquestt.
Many brands offer Greek-style yogurt, but they’re often twice the price of regular plain yogurt, so we tested store-brand versions from Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Costco, and Wegmans to see which offers the best value.
I bought the most basic plain Greek yogurt I could find at each store and tried them without any toppings. Only Whole Foods’ 365 brand contained 3.5% milk fat, but all the others were fat-free.
We ranked Greek yogurts from worst to best.
Kirkland Signature Yogurt is a great base for fruit and granola.
Kirkland Signature Yogurt was thick and rich, with just enough tartness to add depth.
I liked this yogurt because, while it was less dense than some of my other yogurts, there wasn’t a puddle of whey at the top, and it seemed like the perfect base for fruit, granola, and other toppings.
Wegmans yogurt was my favorite.
This Greek yogurt is creamy, smooth, and slightly tart, making it the perfect base for toppings, and its light texture makes it perfect for any recipe that calls for Greek yogurt.
Of note, this yogurt had the most sugar (7 grams) out of the four options. My daughter also liked this yogurt the best, so I plan to put it in a container with some toppings and bring it with her in her lunch.
I love this yogurt so much that I keep it in my fridge, and next time I need Greek yogurt, I’ll reach for this one from Wegmans.
