Natural peanut butter & Greek Yogurt

[ballbabe]

Is there anywhere in Chapala one could find these two things?

Make your own;
Greek Yogurt  - take regular yogurt (get some good stuff from the Cremeria on Madero)  and strain it thru a fine cloth to remove more whey;
Peanut Butter: I know Peter Panderia in Centro Laguna carries natural peanut butter; you never know where you might find it; peanut butter is expensive so not really part of a mexicans diet.

Isn't the brand "Oikos" Greek yogurt? If so, then it's available in Walmart and SuperLake in various flavours and plain. The homemade peanut butter is also available at SuperLake... in a plastic tub alongside the other peanut butters... and is available in both smooth and chunky styles.

edited to add: I also think I spotted Smitty's greek yogurt in the SuperLake cooler. It just comes in a larger size than the Oikos.

Even easier, strain the yogurt through a couple of coffee filters overnight.

There are several vendors at the Tuesday Market who sell fresh nut butters.

Deena, who is moving as of Monday to the Monday market at Sunrise Cafe, sells a good tasting Greek yogurt along with her home grown vegetables, kefirs and honey. The golden kefir actually tastes good in case you don't like the white kind, which she also has. She's easy to spot since she is probably the tallest lady in the market.

Can someone please explain the difference  (benefit) between the Greek and Regular yogurt. 

The once I tried the Greek I found it significantly thicker than "regular" and slightly different flavour,  as do every brand

[MtnMama]

No significant difference that I know of except that it is thicker and some prefer the consistency.

Greek yogurt has about double the protein and less carbs than regular yogurt. ( according to google) .

Compare nutrition labels.  Ex: Fage Greek yogurt has 20 grams of protein Yoplait has 6 grams.

I wish I could find the really thin yogurt with very acidic taste from my youth , no one seems to sell that..

[RVGRINGO]

If you have ever lived in the Middle East, North Africa or Greece, etc., you will know that good yoghurt is almost impossible to find in North America. The commercial concoctions are particularly bad; just more “factory food“.  If you can manage to find a live culture, you might enjoy making your own yoghurt.

The Greek yoghurt nd Bulgarian I remember is thin and acidic nothing like that tick " Greek nothing" that is fashonable now..
