I don’t like most flavored yogurts (and really hate sweetener that’s not sugar or honey) so I just do plain Greek yogurt
Back in the day, you used to be able to buy not-very-sweet lemon yogurt in quarts, and one of my go-to breakfasts was lemon yogurt over a bowl of Great Grains granola cereal. But lemon yogurt these days is SO over-sweetened when I can find it at all, and only available in the single-serve packages (which are just slightly too much for the amount of cereal I want).
And while obviously "I watched several disappointing sunsets from the private beach of my ancestral summer home" is a very diamond-shoes thing to be bummed about (on the grand scale of Things Climate Change Has Ruined, this is...not a real problem), my personal mental health depends on a yearly infusion of Good Canada Sunsets, so...yeah.
I don't know; I don't think it's very Diamond Shoes to be like "I looked forward to family vacation in a really lovely place, and then stressful shit kept happening and vacation was not as restful and restorative as I hoped it would be." That sucks to have a trip you were looking forward to go all pear-shaped.

My favorite thing about Greek yogurt is the super thick texture. But, despite my sweet tooth, the flavored yogurts are kind of too sweet for me. But I dislike artificial sweeteners and I don't really care for unsweetened yogurt, though. (And you are thinking, "Steph, you created your own quandary; please post about something else." But wait!)
Chobani makes a lower-sugar version (named Chobani Less Sugar) of about 4 flavors that doesn't use artificial sweeteners, but is less aggressively sweet than regular flavors. The less-sugar version has about 5g of added sugar, versus about 11g of added sugar in the regular. It's a good compromise.
Oh, man, Jess, that's pretty rough! Yeah, that August was not up to specifications and you should be able to return for a full refund
Intrigued by the Chobani Less Sugar option. I used to get a yogurt sweetened with fruit juice that was also not too sweet but it's been gone for probably over a decade now. I still miss it.

It comes in vanilla (excuse me; *Madagascar* vanilla & cinnamon), strawberry, blueberry, and peach. (Those are the flavors at Kroger; the internet tells me there's also lemon and raspberry, but I haven't seen those. I'd love to get the raspberry one!)

Thank you for making me sound so reasonable :)
There IS a Chobani Less Sugar lemon flavor, but it's really hard to find in stores (at least, where I live). Why does everyone want vanilla and nobody want lemon??? Lemon is delicious y'all, come on.
I was just yesterday telling myself to stop complaining because the free yogurt work sporadically provides did not have any peach flavor only mango, so I will keep an eye out for all the flavors!
Here's a first world problem: I found a restaurant in Alameda that has biang biang noodles on the menu (including a cumin lamb option!) that I have been impatiently waiting until payday (today) to be able to order to pick up and now their ordering site is throwing an error. I may have to call them!
Mmmmmm, lamb cumin biang biang noodles.
I may have to call them!
Noooooooo. Stay strong, minus t!
