Many years ago, yogurt was a true health food. But the big brands took over and basically turned yogurt into a dessert category. Pretty sad because as you state, real yogurt can stand on it's own as a delicious and satisfying food. The live cultures are also great for your digestive system.

But somewhere along the line, people thought that less fat and more sugar was better. The real travesty is the "fruit on bottom" yogurts. Most of those contain high fructose syrup and more sugar than you would find in a can of soda pop.

I also like the "cream layer on top" yogurts but the only ones I can find have the fruit on bottom. Right now, I favor the whole milk version of Siggi's "Skyr" which is a very thick strained yogurt. I push some frozen blueberries in there and that will stick to my ribs until lunchtime.

Try the plain yogurt at Trader Joe’s, either low fat or regular, very good. Have you ever made your own at home? Easy to do, I can give you instructions if you wish.
