It’s been my secret weapon. I’ve been smuggling it into work and surreptitiously snacking on it in the corners when no one’s looking. Girls walk up and ask “Hey, what’s that?”, and I say “Oh, uh, um, Honey…badger…milk. Yeah, that’s it. Honey Badger Milk.” No way I’m letting them in on my super food.
But, NOW, it’s all over the TV. Extra Protein! ProBiotics! Live Cultures! Fruit! Damn. Now everyone knows, and my local central market was wiped out when I went to restock. Probably by people who’re doing Zumba, or Yoga, or, dear god, *Crossfit. *

I’m gonna buy a cow goat, and figure out how to do it myself. And I’m gonna take that cow goat running, and juice it up with T, and 'roids, and whatever else. Then I’m gonna use that cow goat’s milk to make my own damn Greek Yogurt. And then we’ll see…
Greek Yogurt is SO nasty until you put something in it. Then it’s semi-edible.
Our local supplies typically get wiped out the day of delivery … with the lone exception of the “Plain” variety which sits on the shelf for days on end, completely undisturbed. So, that’s what I buy. I buy the bulk container. Then, I throw in whatever sustinence I can find to make that god-awful sludge semi-palatable. Sometimes it’s fresh fruit - sometimes it’s bacon grease. Doesn’t matter. It’s a super food. I’m eating healthy regardless of what I sfuff into it …. right!?

Damn Crossfitters.
It’s not paleo so the crossfitters wont touch it. Maybe it is I’m not really sure. I just can’t see a caveman making greek yogurt in his cave while ducking t-rex’s.
I buy it at Costco in large containers and use it as a substitute for everything from sour cream to icecream to half and half in cooking. I buy the plain and add honey if I want it as a frosting for fresh berries.
Good stuff and about 1/10th the price of the local grocery store.

Nice… I am glad the majority don’t like the plain. That’s my favorite and my fridge is always full of it. Just can’t stand it when manufactures start manipulating the original taste with sugar. I will add my own stuff if I want to add any flavor.
As a Greek, I have a little bit of a bias towards Greek yogurt…but Fage is the way to go if you eat any. I tried that knock off yoplait stuff once and couldn’t stand it.
Put some strawberry preserves or honey and granola on it and it’s an awesome desert!
My girlfriend an I go through a large tub of Fage every other day. We pretty much clean out Costco every time we visit - come back with 10 large buckets of it!
When we lived in Japan, my wife was into Caspian Sea (Kaspikai) Yogurt. It is live yogurt you make by adding it to milk and letting it sit out over night.
Throw in some strawberries, banana and honey and pretty hard to beat.

Yep – just picked up a couple of the large tubs of the 0% plain Fage yesterday. I think it’s like $4.99 at the Costco here in Austin. Toss some raisins, cut up strawberries or peaches, and it’s an awesome way to get a big dose of protein without all the added sugars.

Yep, plain Fage tastes like curdled milk to me… Great nutrition, and I’ll eat it with some flavor, but plain is just not really doable for me. I also can’t stand olives, so maybe there is some kind of anti-greek thing going on in my taste buds.
