Fage 0% Greek Yogurt

JJayoo

Fage Plain Greek yogurt + raspberry Flav drops from Myprotein = raspberry petite filous.

I can't find Fage anywhere, so I make do with the following...

250g of Liberte mixed with 25g of MP vanilla impact whey and about 100g of chopped strawberries. I just leave it in the fridge and pick at it throughout the day.

Liberte isnt even real greek yogurt is it? It's 'Greek Style'. Disappointing..

Its macros are pretty good compared with Fage.

Per 100g:
Fage has 10.3 g of protein, Liberté has 9.6g
Fage has 0.0g fat. Liberté has 0.1g
Fage has 4.0g sugar, Liberté has 3.6g

How is this thread still going?

The cat was cuddled in next to me so I had nothing better to do than wander the internet while petting him. I counted 6 times where the posts had a pause of 1 months or more.

Is it really that good? I can't get it in this town but the next time I go to another town I'll have a look for it.

also with the chemical after taste of mixing yoghurt and protein, I've found if you mix in a ratio of 10:1 yoghurt:whey it's much more palatable.

I bought it at the weekend having read so much about it here, the liberte one that is.
I didn't enjoy the taste at all so added in a quarter of a sachet of hartleys sugar free jelly....yum!!

Have still yet to see Fage anywhere, in any shop i've been to in Dublin over the past few months.

Liberte is every where though. I just want to try Fage once before i die.

Is Duneen Natural Greek Style Yoghart from ALDI any good?

It tastes OK, but it's "Greek style" rather than proper Greek yoghurt - it's thickened with milk proteins (not sure if this means dried milk) and yet is still runny when compared to Fage. Fage has a consistency more like sour cream. Also Fage had a much higher protein content and has active cultures. The Duneen yoghurt says it has lactic cultures but no indication if they are just used to make the yoghurt and are killed in the process or if they are still live.

Just had my first tub of Fage 0% Total..... Only divine....

Haven't been into town since to get more of it. Here looking for a valid reason to go into town for it....

I looked it up on Slimming World about 3 weeks ago and think it said that it was free, tried to look it up again there now to double check but can only find flavoured ones which have syns, only interested in the 0% Total one

Any of the Dunnes stores I've been to stock it, I've bought it in Dunnes Henry street, Georges street, Rathmines, Kilnamanagh, Beacon, Cornelscourt. Mortons in Ranelagh, and Donnybrook Fair also stock it.

Bought it in Tesco Clearwater last week, 3.49 for the 500ml tub. It had a new sticker on the shelf and it seems quite popular as I had to reach into the back to get one of the last few remaining.

I got the last Tub in Tesco in Coonagh Cross, Limerick on Sunday. Good to see it seeping in to some Tesco stores in Limerick. Its obviously flying off the shelves too.

The liberte honey yoghurt is delicious.

€3 for the 500g tub and €1 for the 170g tub in Dunnes Rathmines.

€3 for the big tub in Tesco in Bloomfields in Dublin Laoghaire now as well. Fage a new introduction to the shelves there.

Tesco Celridge has it for the same price too so looks like Tesco are jumping on the Fage bandwagon in most stores. First time I've had it and prefer it to Liberte, but what the hell is with the clear wax paper over the top... that was a surprise when i dug a spoon into my first pot!

It's parchment paper. Ever open a yoghurt and there's 'water' sitting on top of the yoghurt? That's whey that's separated out. The parchment paper absorbs the little bit left after straining.

You can eat it for gainz.

As Alf said above it absorbs the whey.

Food Republic have the answer for you

Yep, Tesco seems to be stocking it!:) For how long though I don't know. First time I tried it too but I can't say I noticed a different from Liberté though the wax paper surprised me. The Liberté yoghurt doesn't seem to have that, I wonder why?

My local Tesco has had it for months but usually small quantities on the shelf and it takes up very little shelf space so easy to miss it unless you are specifically searching for it. Also available on tesco.ie.

As for the difference between Fage and Liberte, I believe that Tesco only sell "Greek-style" Liberte - it is thickened with skim milk powder: Liberte Strained Greek Style contains Skimmed Milk, Skimmed Milk Powder, Lactic Cultures. By contrast Fage is made from only milk and live cultures. It's thickened naturally by straining it as opposed to many "Greek style" yoghurts that are thickened by the addition of starch. I notice that Liberte doesn't promise that it has live cultures.

I wish the full-fat version of Fage was available here. It tastes much nicer than the 0% version.

Thanks! However, I presumed all yoghurts have active cultures in them regardless?

Macro-wise, there isn't a huge difference between Fage 0% and Liberté.

As Greek-style yoghurts go, Libvberté has the best nutritional profile.

Yeah I think protein wise there is about 1g difference and sugar is only 1g. Fage has slightly more sugar but also has slightly more protein and they are both zero fat.:)

had my first one today, hardly amazing like what everyone on here seems to rave about :rolleyes:

I prefer the DANONE at 1euro less and same amount of protein and taste

maybe its cool to like fage as people on the internet said so :rolleyes:
