Chobani Greek Yogurt – It’s Nothing but Good!!!
So a while back this Greek Yogurt craze got really bit with all us health nuts, and I began my search for the best Greek Yogurt. All the ones I had tries so far were a little too thick or a little too tangy. I started hearing a lot about Chobani in health blogs, forums, etc. but I could not for the life of me find it anywhere. I don’t know if that’s because the grocery stores near me didn’t sell it, or because it was flying off the shelves. I came to realize that it was a bit of both. Only a few stores near me sold Chobani, and those that did…it wouldn’t last on the shelves until my Sunday night grocery run.
So I took matters into my own hands, I contacted the good people at Chobani and explained my situation, and that I wanted to review their yogurt on my blog. They were kind enough to send me a case to try!! Aren’t they amazing???
So last week, I finally received my case of #CHO!!!! So exciting, i was like a kid in a candy store! I could not wait to get home and open the box and finally get to taste what all the hype was about!!!
Oh the beauty when i first opened it up! Even my husband was impressed! The case of yogurt was packed so well in ice to ensure freshness, my husband – who is not a yogurt eater at ALL – gasped and said “this is great”
And finally I had before me, in all it’s glory – my very first case of Chobani Greek Yogurt!
We could not wait to dig in! And yes I said WE…even my husband was excited to try it, and like i said before, he is NOT a yogurt eater, he never really has been. So here are my thoughts on my first time tasting #Chobani
pomegranate
This was the one we tried first…AMAZING! So creamy, it’s hard to believe it’s fat free. Perfectly sweet and tart, this yogurt made my day! My husband, again NOT the yogurt eater, savoured each spoonful. He was in love! Beautiful, silky…this was a little taste of heaven!
black cherry
once we had finished our pom #cho, to my surprise, hubby says “ok, what’s the next flavour” lol. We tried black cherry right away. Again, this was a beautiful silky thick, but not too thick sweet but not too sweet tast of heaven.
Nice big chunks of black cherry, againg the smooth silkiness fo the greek yogurt = perfection!!!
Peach and strawberry
I just want to clairify, two seaparate flavours – peach, and strawberry – (not a peachberry combo) I’m just combining their review.
With these i decided to cook with them rather than eat them on their own. So I made a batch of virtually fat free muffins, and subbed these in place for my regular plain yogurt.
here’s the recipe:
DRY:
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup of ground flax
3 tbsp chia seeds
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
WET:
2 eggs beaten
1 can of crushed oineapple
1 peach Chobani greek yogurt
1 Strawberry Chobai Greek yogurt
1/2 cup applesauce
frozen bluberries
Mix Wet ingredients into dry spoon out into muffin tray and bake at 350 for about 25 minutes.
So all in all i am so happy the great people of Chobani were able to send me a case of their yogurt to try, now im hooked on nothing but good, and hope to be able to fine these in my local grocery stores…I may have to change my grocery day to align with their delivery days!!!
