Snack Time: Chobani Greek Yogurt Review

I may have mentioned once or twice or a bajillion times that I have a love affair with yogurt. Yogurt is good for you, yogurt doesn’t complain when you ask it to make adjustments, yogurt is smooth and delicious. If I could date yogurt I might. So, when I got an email from a publicist for Chobani Greek Yogurt asking whether I’d like to try it, I said sure. Let me clarify, that I’m contacted a few times a month by publicists for different foods and most often from diet plans, and most of the time I decline because, well, I’m not really promoting any sort of dieting here; I just believe in living a healthy balanced life and eating food that’s good for you but also non abrasive to the world. Okay, clarifying done.

I received my handy-dandy refrigerated package with 6 cases of yogurt in it, strawberry, blueberry, peach, vanilla, fat-free plain, and 2% plain. I tried all of them except the blueberry, which I’m allergic to. I agree that blueberries are a strange allergy, but there’s really nothing I can do about it, so you’re on your own in regard to blueberry my friends. So what’s the verdict? It’s really good. Chobani’s fat free yogurts are definitely richer and creamier than Fage’s, which seems to be the standard by which all Greek yogurts are compared to right now. It’s an organic product which is sort of my standard for approval and blog mention. Gold star in regard to taste for Chobani! Okay, but here’s the bad news, it’s expensive. I went to my local grocery store to check out the cost of these adorable little yogurt singles and it was $1.99 per 6 oz. container, which means this creamy refreshing yogurt is a once in a while treat and not a daily addition to my diet. I like yogurt, but I like paying my rent too. So, if you’re in the mood for a treat, I highly suggest this yogurt. If you’re on a budget, I still recommend using the ole’ coffee filter, plain yogurt trick to strain your regular yogurt into a creamier consistency.
