Triple Zero Oikos: A Surprisingly Good Find in Greek Yogurt

Oh good! I've bought this a few times and I liked it. Glad it gets your seal of approval!

I really like the salted caramel and appreciate that no artificial colors are added. I am hesitant to eat too many items with chicory root or inulin- both have laxative effects on the body. LOVE the high protein! Once again, balance or moderation in all things is important!

I'm so happy you took the time to check this yogurt out. I wasn't sure about it but if it meets your approval, I'm buying some.

Helpful review! A nutritionist recommended this product to me, for the protein and low sugar. I prefer the non/fruit flavors, especially vanilla (and chocolate!). Curious - has anyone used these in baking?

Eileen on April 11, 2016

Wow, it's a bit sad when they make fruit flavored yogurt that does not contain any fruit!

Hope these are available in Canada! By the way I bought 2 of your books, one for my sister - we enjoy your humour.

I liked the flavor but I found it really distressed my stomach - I am mildly lactose intolerant but this kicked it into high gear!

I tried these as well ... OK, not bad, but I found the texture a bit strange - more chalky than creamy. I believe the one I had was 3 smart points, which is not bad considering my favorite flavored yogurts (Passionfruit Fage) went up to 5 points. :-(

But, my "go to" is what you have previously suggested Lisa - You can have 1 FULL CUP of plain 0% greek yogurt for 3 points (this is for Fage brand, but I think others would be the same.) And, if you add a teaspoon or two of low sugar/no sugar jam, you are just adding 1 extra point - and of course fresh fruit is free.

The overnight yogurt parfait with oatmeal & chia seeds is also awesome, for around 5 points - and much bigger portion. I make mine with lots of frozen raspberries.

Love it. Anytime I can find less junk ingredients and 15 grams of protein I'm happy!

I do like this yogurt, glad you approve. If you want bits of fruit, you can nuke a couple frozen pieces of whatever fruit matches, dice up and there you have it. Or even fresh fruit if you have it.

I haven't tried this one yet because I am looking for a plain, non-fat yogurt that has plenty of lactobacillus. I have an old yogurt maker and it requires a starter.

I was never a fan of Greek yogurt until I tried Oikos Triple Zero. I love it! The texture is just right. I use Stevia regularly (for Iced Tea), so I was happy to see it listed (rather than sugar or maltodextrin, etc.). The Mixed Berry is my favorite.

I too have tried Oikos Triple Zero and actually like it. I'm surprised that no one has commented on the fact that this yogurt has FIBER in it along with the protein. I believe this yogurt is a good alternative for WW members and also low carbing.

I usually make my own yogurt with plain greek yogurt and fruit, but this is a definite go to for me when I'm on the go. The stores by me that do sell it don't have many flavor of this yogurt, but because of the the ingredient list, I do prefer this brand when I do buy already prepared yogurt.

Linda on April 11, 2016

Thank you for mentioning that it has Stevia. That's one of the things I try to avoid for various reasons (mostly the lowering of blood pressure warning from WebMD).

Leah G. on April 11, 2016

To follow-up on my comment above...I know people that grow Stevia and have great luck with it so I'm not dissing it. I just wanted to provide the link to explain that for people using blood pressure medication it's suggested not to eat Stevia: http://www.livestrong.com/article/368454-known-side-effects-of-stevia/

Just to present the facts, as a ingredients chemist ( and I do not work for Dannon) chicory root fiber does not have laxative effects, however sugar alcohols ( like maltitol) do and are often found In diet product. You would have to consume 3 yogurts ( 20 grams fiber) or more in one sitting, and you " might" experience gas/ bloating. But having 20 gms of any fiber in one meal, would effect your GI tract. Straight fructose / sugar at high doses can have laxative effect, but not fiber. Chicory root fiber also is a prebiotic veggie fiber so it's helping feed any content of the probiotic cultures in the yogurt. The original six flavors are great!

Shawn on April 11, 2016

Cheryl - it might not have been the lactose that bothered you - stevia does that to me - hence I avoid all of these "Zero calorie" wonders...

diana on April 11, 2016

I really like the triple zero line. There were a few that I thought had an artificial after taste (banana and coconut if I remember correctly), but my husband liked those two flavors, so for us it's just a taste preference. Peach, strawberry and triple berry are my favorite flavors, and I like the texture. I see they also now have it in plain, which I'm looking forward to using for recipes that call for plain yogurt.

Robin on April 11, 2016

Just wondering what your opinion is on chobani simply 100. Sugar is about the same but protein is a little lower. Seems all natural to me but I wanted a more educated opinion.
