Best Tasting Yogurts

As I go on this journey to be healthier and try new things, I asked myself, "what is the best yogurt?"-- although texture-wise greek yogurt is great, I have run into some issues with flavor, and vice versa.  So I am going to make a list here of the three yogurts I tried recently and give my review.

1. Chobani Oats
Pro:  The two flavors I tried are Chobani Oats Banana Maple Blended Low-Fat Greek Yogurt and Chobani Oats Apple Cinnamon Blended Low-Fat Greek Yogurt.  The texture and flavors were really yummy.  I didn't have to add any granola to it because of the oats.
Con: Unfortunately these two flavors have a lot of sugar.  If a woman's daily intake of sugar is 25 grams, the Apple Cinnamon alone is 16 grams of sugar.  Also, since carbs can convert into sugar, add 27 grams of carbs to that.
2. Brown Cow Cream Top
Pro:  If you like fruit on the bottom and all-natural yogurt, this is the yogurt for you.  The texture is super creamy, not like greek yogurt and creamier regular yogurt.  It took me some getting used to but it was fairly good.  The flavor is also different because it is much more natural tasting.
Con:  The sugar is even higher for this than the Chobani Oats.  Also, the texture I prefer is greek yogurt so I probably won't be getting these again.
3. Wallaby Nonfat Greek Yogurt
I have not tried this yet. I plan on getting it this weekend.  Because I'm being more conscience of the sugar and carb content, plus the bonus is that it is organic and lowfat, I am hoping it tastes good enough to keep buying.  Stay tuned!

Just tried the low fat version of this yogurt and I must say that it is my favorite of the lot.
Pro: If you like cream cheese with jam or a danish, this yogurt could be for you.  The toppings for the yogurt comes separate, so the plain yogurt is not sweet but the texture is very good.  I tried the cherries and it adds the perfect amount of sweetness without the added sugar.  Plus because this yogurt is organic, there are no artificial ingredients.
Con: it can get a little messy trying to dunk the fruit into the yogurt and you won't get every last drop either because the fruit and sauce is like a jello and doesn't come out of the side container without a spoon.
Overall I nominate the Wallaby for the best taste, texture, and healthy yogurt.
