My family recently conducted a taste test of plain Greek yogurt from four grocery stores, ranking them from worst to best. Trader Joe’s Greek nonfat yogurt was found to be too tangy for my liking, and my daughter gave it a thumbs down. On the other hand, the organic plain nonfat Greek yogurt from Wegmans was praised for its perfect subtle flavor.
As a family that consumes a lot of Greek yogurt due to its nutritional benefits, including being low in carbs, high in protein, and containing probiotics, we often rely on it as a filling breakfast or snack for my 9-year-old daughter. With the increasing popularity of Greek yogurt in recent years, it’s interesting to note that the global market for this product is worth billions, according to market intelligence company Skyquestt.
While many brands offer Greek-style varieties, their prices are often twice that of standard plain yogurt. To determine which Greek yogurt offers the best value, I decided to try store-brand versions from Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Costco, and Wegmans. I purchased the most basic plain Greek yogurt available at each store and tasted them without any toppings. All options were nonfat except for the 365 brand from Whole Foods, which contained 3.5% milk fat.
In our taste test, Trader Joe’s Greek nonfat yogurt ranked as the worst, with its tangy flavor not appealing to our taste buds. On the other hand, the organic plain nonfat Greek yogurt from Wegmans was a hit with its perfectly subtle flavor. This experiment allowed us to determine which Greek yogurt offers the best taste and value for our family.
