It's All Greek to Me: The Skinny on Greek Yogurt

I've been a little curious about the buzz on Greek yogurt, I eat it and I enjoy it, but I had questions if one was really better than the other. Here is a comparison of two major brands of plain Greek strained yogurt, each brand has a 0% and 2% milk fat variation. I decided to ignore the flavored ones for this review because that would have been way to much information to make a proper comparison. I chose to compare Fage and Chobani because these are two brands that I like (plain and flavored).

	Total fat		Saturated Fat		Trans Fat		Cholesterol		Sodium		Carbohydrates		Sugar		Protein		Calories
Fage 2%	4	g	3	g	0	g	10	mg	65	mg	8	g	8	g	20	g	140
Chobani 2%	3.5	g	2	g	0	g	10	mg	70	mg	7	g	7	g	17	g	130
Fage 0%	0	g	0	g	0	g	0	mg	65	mg	7	g	7	g	18	g	120
Chobani 0%	0	g	0	g	0	g	0	mg	80	mg	7	g	7	g	18	g	100

Clearly not that much difference between these 4 yogurts in terms of nutrition, biggest difference is calories but I don't know if I really care about those. I find it interesting that the Fage 2% has more protein than its 0% counterpart, but the Chobani 2% has less protein than the 0%. Anyway, the most important part is about this is taste, I wouldn't want to eat something that didn't taste good, so for your convenience I have ranked these 4 from tasty to tolerable. The Chobani 2% is number 1, the two variations of Fage did not seem to have a difference in flavor that I could pick up on, therefore the Fage 0% and the 2% Fage are tied, and in last place, the Chobani 0%. This very tart Greek strained dairy product is probably better for the more devout Greek yogurt enthusiasts. Too much power for me, but if I add honey or fruit to it I like just fine.
