Cheaper alternative to Fage

fartyarse

'Skyr', Norwegian style yogurt. Found in my local tesco, macros very similar to Fage but much cheaper at €2.49 for 450g. Had a taste of it tonight, consistency isn't quite as thick as Fage but it tastes very similar!

It's a winner in my books!

Hurrah! I love the creaminess of Fage though, but I'll still be trying this out. Nom

In case anyone was wondering, I've converted, I always found the Fage a bit tough to eat, almost bitter, but this one is absolutely delicious!

I've never seen that yoghurt before will pick it up and try it the next time I'm in Tesco thanks. Its nutritional breakdown is pretty impressive. I prefer the taste and texture of Liberté over Fage even if it's protein content is slightly lower.

Came across this in Super Valu next to Fage. Decent macros for the price.

I actually meant I as impressed that you went to the effort to turn them with the nutritional info visible and side by side.

I have been trying this this week. Little more bitter tasting but it is a thickness that makes it easier to mix with whey.

Added some cinnamon this morning. It weh tasteh!

The new Glenisk 0% natural greek yogurt is worth a shout as well. 4g of sugar per 100g and 10g of protein. On offer in supervalu at €2 for 500g at the moment (normally €3). It's also made from milk undergoing the organic certification process (there's not enough fully organic milk in Ireland). And Irish \o/
