The Best Natural Snacks
FAGE Total 2% Peach Yogurt
FAGE Greek Yogurt's tagline, "ridiculously thick yogurt," is not hyperbole; think the consistency of softened cream cheese, making for an incredibly rich, creamy texture. But their 2% line also comes in four different flavors in addition to plain -- peach, strawberry, cherry, and honey -- so that while this all-natural snack delivers all the protein of a lowfat yogurt, it also tastes like dessert. In our humble opinion, no other yogurt -- Greek or regular -- comes close to FAGE (and we've tasted a lot of yogurt).
As might be expected, FAGE is pricier than the average yogurt, and sadly, the brand sometimes seems to be elusive in certain regions. But when you do find it, trust us -- stock up. You'll be glad to have an emergency stash when a craving hits.

Actually - I recommend the Peach Chobani 0% Fat Greek Yogurt. For 10 more calories, and zero fat, you not only get a better tasting yogurt but you also get 3 more grams of protein. I stock up when target has them on sale for $1 each, so it's more cost effective too.
