I personally don't mind. In fact, I look for yogurt that's low in fat and low in sugar as it tends to be high in protein and relatively low in calories, case in point FAGE Total 0%. 90 calories and 18g of protein in a 6oz. serving. Better than most protein bars.

Also, I might be alone in this, but I think the lower-fat FAGE yogurts (specifically the 2%) taste better than the full-fat one. They have a certain "tang" to them that isn't present in their whole milk yogurt, which I absolutely love for making sauces, dips, etc.

I don't think they taste better (I find them very claggy too), but I do think it tastes great, and it's the best low-fat yoghurt I've ever had, by a wide margin - and there isn't any added sugar, which is almost unheard of in low-fat yoghurt.

Low fat french kwark is what you want. It has like 20g of protein per 100g and is very low in calories. It taste great too (at least once you've added honey or a bit of jam).

FAGE and Chobani seem to be the best of supermarket yogurts (and Yoplait the worst).

I'm glad Whole Foods has this - https://www.instacart.com/whole-foods/products/163404-white-... - it's pretty much the only reason I go to Whole Foods, as prefer Trader Joe much more (but they don't have it there)...

Siggi's skyr is pretty good, too. A bit more calories and a bit less protein (110 cal, 15g protein), but definitely tastes better than the 0% fat FAGE, in my opinion.
