Greek yogurt. Icelandic yogurt. Australian yogurt. Traditional “American” yogurt.
Curious to know how each compares? Well, Craig and I were wondering too, so we picked up 4 different yogurts from 4 different countries and had a little fun taste-testing and comparing each one.
Siggi’s Icelandic Yogurt
- Very thick.
- More of a gritty texture, but if you can get past that, it is good!
- Slightly tart.
- Didn’t have an authentic blueberry taste, but it wasn’t a bad taste either.
- Get ready to dig deep in your pocket for some extra dough for this yogurt. We paid $1.29, but that was on sale and with a $1.00 off coupon in the grocery store. Siggi’s retails at over $3–here in Alaska at least.
- Most amount of protein: 16 g
- Lowest amount of sugar: 10 g
Chobani Greek Yogurt
- Fruit on the bottom.
- Very thick and creamy.
- Small blueberry pieces.
- We buy this at Costco and pay less than $1 per container.
- Tied for highest amount of sugar: 20 g
- Tied for highest amount of calories: 140
- 2nd highest amount of protein: 14 g
Wallaby Australian Yogurt
- Consistency was the thinnest but still creamy.
- Small pieces of chopped blueberries.
- Authentic blueberry taste.
- Cost: $1.39
- Tied for highest amount of sugar: 20 g
- The only kind (we chose to compare) that had fat in it.
- Tied for lowest amount of protein: 7 g
Cascade Fresh (American?) Yogurt
- Fruit on the bottom.
- Small pieces of blueberries.
- Pleasant blueberry taste.
- Cost: ~ $1.20; we paid $0.79 for it because it was on sale.
- Tied for lowest amount of protein: 7 g
- Lowest number of calories: 110
Overall, each kind had its pros/cons. I honestly liked all of them for different reasons!

Dinner
Tonight’s dinner felt very fall-like.
Lentil + Sweet Potato Salad

I loved how hearty this meal was and loved the sweet and savory flavors throughout. 
Off to get a few more things done before heading to bed.
Interesting on the yogurt comparison. I prefer strained yogurt, so usually go for Greek. Or else I buy plain yogurt and strain it myself at home. It’s a texture thing I guess. It’s amazing that you can find yogurt from so many different places in Anchorage!
I will often strain my own yogurt at home as well! Siggi’s is also really thick like Greek yogurt!
I really liked them all, but my favorite was chobani.
i’ve never seen the first or the last yogurts! how fun.
i just got my husband to try plain yogurt last night, with fruit and a little leftover cinnamon roll cream cheese frosting. hehe!
I had a hard time finding Siggi’s at first. Maybe Cascade Fresh is more of a West coast thing?
