Fage 2% yogurt. FINALLY!!!!!!!

Tooter · 09-09-2008, 10:00 AM

I live in a little hick town and they finally have this at my store. I just went there today and found this. Now, I have been looking for "Fage" even when I shop out of town and I could only find the 0%. No way was I going to eat that.

So, this was a nice surprise today. I like it. I still like my Stonyfields Full fat, but this is nice, thick and creamy.

Now I see, what all the fuss is about.

Another Fage addict emerges...enjoy!

KINDERHORE · 09-09-2008, 10:05 AM

I just saw a Fage 5%! It's in between the 2% and Regular in calories and fat. I'll have to try it

I felt like I was cheating!! hehehehehehe Nice Texture. Expensive...but very nice. Let's see, I can't eat it every day at that price, but once, twice...Oh heck...3 times a week would be good!

KINDERHORE, 5% Fage????!!!!!! I'm jealous.

Ailuros · 09-09-2008, 10:12 AM

The only 5% I've seen was a Fage sheep/goat milk yoghurt that had a kind of set texture and tasted more like normal yoghurt. Is there a 5% version of the creamy one?

I haven't tried the 2%. The "ordinary" stuff is 10% Tooter, so keep your eyes peeled.

I was so shocked to see it there, after your post to me today!!

Heck, within the last few months they got Stonyfields Full fat yogurt. They had the fat free, but I wouldn't eat that. I had to wait until I went shopping about an hour away, and stock up on it there.

10%!?!?!? Ok, I need a Food Porn Description.

lvgal · 09-09-2008, 10:43 AM

sorry, but what is Fage? Is it Atkins friendly? (low carb..lol)

Greek yogurt.

Buffy45 · 09-09-2008, 11:01 AM

Our SWM now carries a Greek yogurt, but only fat free????? DUH! So, I go there for some things but have to run over to Target for my total Fage.

pocahontas · 09-09-2008, 11:03 AM

5%? Interesting!

I always buy the Fage Total (full fat) and I lurve it.

glennjones · 09-09-2008, 11:42 AM

Now I'm confused and my brain hurts...

I was buying FAGE 2% and thought I should be buying FAGE Total at 0%. I refused to buy the 2% any longer and finally found the TOTAL...now that I found the TOTAL 0% I read that the 2% is better.

They have 3 that I am aware of:

Fage Total (full fat)
Fage Total 2% (low fat)
Fage Total 0% (non fat)

I have never seen the 5% but I guess it is out there!

Yep, I went to their website and it's out there...SOMEWHERE!! lol

I'm just thrilled to have found the 2%. Before that, All I could find is the 0%!

You want healthy fats in your foods not non fat items.

LCCupcake · 09-10-2008, 07:23 PM

Ironically the elusive 5% has the lowest carb count according to their website...5 grams vs. 7 for the classic, 9 for the 0% and 9 for the 2%.

I wish I could find it here!

bekki1 · 09-10-2008, 07:59 PM

Can you tell me what this tastes like? Yogurt? Sour? Creamy? Make me a Fage addict please.

lippi · 09-10-2008, 08:21 PM

I'm having some Fage (Total) right now with some Davinci's Toasted Marshmallow syrup and a scoop of chocolate protein powder. Mmmm.

NurseMonkee · 09-10-2008, 11:40 PM

Does it taste like plain yogurt?

I just had plain yogurt again today for the first time and it completely kept me satisfied for hours. I want to head out to trader joes now to pick up some Fage Total. How many carbs?

NurseMonkee · 09-10-2008, 11:42 PM

Me again.

I just went to their website. It lists 7g carb per 8 oz serving for Fage TOTAL. Is this accurate?

OMG. My plain yogurt right now has 18g carbs for a tiny serving.

Yes it is-just another great thing about Fage. Some yogurts are not pure like the Greek ones and have added starches and other things.

Tooter · 09-11-2008, 07:38 AM

I'm out of FAGE!!!

I only bought 2 of them because of the price.

DANG IT...I'm going to have to go on a "Fage Run". The price be danged!

lisabinil · 09-11-2008, 07:44 AM

Soon you will be scouring stores at all hours of the night and day, hoping to get your fix and then when you find a dealer-wiping the store out of its whole stock of FAGE!

You laugh, but I see this happening!

Ailuros · 09-11-2008, 08:58 AM

I get panic attacks if there aren't two 500g pots in the fridge.

JONAH'S GRANNY · 09-11-2008, 08:59 AM

I like the Fage 2% but I believe it knocks me out of ketosis. I like the taste of it much better than the full fat. The Full Fat is almost too rich but it sure will keep me satiated much longer. Whole Foods carries the 0, 2, and full fat. I've not seen the 5%. How much is everyone paying for it?

lisabinil · 09-11-2008, 09:10 AM

$1.69-$1.79 here in the burbs of Chicago.
