Foreign Yogurt

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!
