Chobani Heaven

This week I discovered a new love for Chobani Greek Yogurt! I was scanning the isles of Gristedes when the bright, distinct advertising label caught my eye. (I'm a sucker for aesthetically-pleasing food products!) I have always been a fan of Yogurt, but had never tasted Greek Yogurt before; I was reluctant at first but decided to try it out! At $1.65 per 6-ounce container, it was a a bit of a splurge for me. As soon as I got back to the apartment, I pealed open a blueberry flavor and dug in. I was not disappointed! It was so rich and creamy. I left nothing to the container. I was even more shocked to see all of their zero-fat Greek yogurts range between 100-150 calories each, contain zero grams of fat, and have between 17-20 grams of protein (as a result of the straining process). They also don't contain any HFCS. (Chobani just kicked Dannon and YoPlait's butts for nutrition and taste!) These nutritious yogurts come in six flavors: Plain, Strawberry, Blueberry, Peach, Honey and Vanilla.


I tried the Plain one too! It gave me the chance to be creative and add my own toppings. I decorated my yogurt with blueberries, raspberries and Kashi GoLean Crunch (works just like granola). Chobani's high-protein content left me feeling full all morning! It's the perfect energy snack for any time of the day. If you're not used to eating Greek Yogurt then I would suggest trying a flavored one first! (I have only tried blueberry, so it's the only one I can truly recommend at this point.) I picked up a vanilla and can't wait to taste it.

Go ahead, splurge a little and give Chobani a try. (Check out Chobani's website and look for your favorite flavor: www.chobani.com) Ciao!
