Greek yogurt is all the hype these days (a long time actually but still going strong), so no big surprise that Stonyfield Farms wanted in on the action.
Their new line, Oikos, is organic Greek yogurt, available in plain, vanilla, blueberry, and honey. It’s fat free but you wouldn’t be able to tell because it’s thick and creamy, with more flavor than most.
I love it! The problem is, it’s also much more expensive. At $2.79 (price near me), it’s not really affordable in daily doses. I was already stretching at $1.99 for my beloved Fage. I usually alternate days with some cheaper ones like Trader Joe’s yogurts and Chobani as well.
If you’re not price sensitive (I’m not sure who that would be these days), give Oikos a try. It is quite delicious!

Lately I’ve been alternating between a few brands. I like Liberte and Greek God yogurts but they’re kind of pricey at $1.89. I also like Brown Cow, which is slightly less expensive but sometimes go on sale at Whole Foods, I got them at .80 cents a few weeks ago.
I tried the blueberry and the honey and they were both too sweet for me! But then, I like plain unsweetened Greek yogurt…the kind that makes your mouth pucker up afterwards. But maybe the plain from oikos isn’t too bad.
fage is also my favorite brand. how does this brand compare in flavor/texture?
I’ve never tried Greek yogart. Interesting.
hmm i’ve only tried plain greek yogurt once and i don’t remember it being too memorable. (wow, was that redundant or what? LOL)
is stonyfield farm’s oikos line different from their original? i see fage now at costco and also the original stonyfield farms… i’m wondering if that’s greek yogurt, too 🙂
Oh my that’s expensive! We have Oikos but it’s much cheaper for some reason ($0.89 each) out here. This is usually not the case–from the prices you’ve mentioned in the past, it’s generally more expensive to live in the middle of nowhere.
Oikos is sooo good
it costs $1.57 here UGH
Wonders, I look for what’s on sale at Whole Foods too.
Megan, I like plain too, Fage still being my favorite. When I eat the ones with fruit or honey on the bottom, I don’t use all of it.
Sheng, Fage still wins. Oikos is kind of in between Fage and the regular Stonyfield. It tasted very good, but different.
Blonde Duck, you must try it!
Pearl, the oikos is different from their regular. Greek yogurt is made by straining, which makes it thicker. I love Fage (how many times have I said this already, haha) so definitely give it a try!
EMC, omg, I would totally buy it for 89 cents.
Tina W, I could live with that price too, but geez, it’s so expensive here. =(
i like the greek yogurt from Farmer’s Union. its kinda creamy and tasty too. comparable to Fage. The price is much cheaper too.
ah Teo, I haven’t seen that one around here but I’ll keep an eye out. Thanks
