Chobani Greek Yogurt Review and Giveaway!
Sunday, May 31, 2009 Posted by Jolly Mom
A few weeks ago I had the sweetest surprise show up at my door-a box of Chobani Non Fat Greek Yogurt packed away into a little cooler. I mean, I knew that Chobani was sending me the yogurt to review, but what I didn't know was how much it would surprise me. I mean I LIKE yogurt well enough except that I always buy non-fat to be healthy and it's just not anywhere as good as the full fat versions. Then, you top that with artificial sweeteners and all of a sudden yogurt just becomes kind of OK. Anyhow, I decided to review Chobani Greek Yogurt because of it's health qualities-it has TWO TIMES the protein of traditional yogurts-not because I thought it would taste any better than the OK yogurt I've eaten before.About Chobani Greek Yogurt (from the website):
Chobani Greek Yogurt is made from a centuries-old straining technique that enriches the texture and concentrate of protein in the yogurt, giving it more than two times the protein of traditional American yogurts. That burst of protein is what fuels your CHO, the energy we need to deal with everyday life. Chobani is an all-natural yogurt with a rich, smooth, creamy texture and full-bodied taste. Combine active probiotics for healthy digestion and immune-boosting benefits with calcium for strong bones, and it’s easy to see how Chobani is an essential part of the Mediterranean way of life.
Chobani sent me two of each of the following flavors to review: strawberry, blueberry, peach, vanilla, and plain. Immediately after receiving the yogurt, I opened up one of the peach containers. I took a bite and immediately said to Mike-"It's delicious, but this one must be full fat". I didn't think anything of it and gave Lucas a bite who immediately said, "mmmmm...gooooo" (he doesn't say the D-lol). Lucas literally devours the ENTIRE container and I open up a strawberry for ME. Again, I take a bite and say, "Is this full fat too?" I actually look at the container this time and it says NON FAT. I look at Lucas' empty container and his says NON FAT too! Honestly, this is the best yogurt I have ever eaten. It is rich and thick unlike any non fat yogurt I have ever tasted and the fruit is huge! But, it's not that Chobani Yogurt is good compared to other non fat yogurts-it's just DELICIOUS no matter what!
The biggest testament I can give is that since we received the free yogurt to review; we've purchased it THREE times. The only thing is that in my area, it can be a little hard to find. I sent Mike to Walmart, Kroger, and finally Publix before he found it. He was not so happy with me (LOL), but seriously-it's THAT good. Oh yeah, and it's healthy too! Chobani Greek Yogurt is ALL NATURAL which means that it is free of preservatives and added sweeteners, and uses high quality ingredients like milk that contains no artificial hormones. It's an excellent source of lean protein, calcium, and immune boosting probiotics. Each serving of Chobani Greek Yogurt provides at least 20% of an adult's daily calcium requirement and 34% of an adult's daily protein requirement (TWICE the amount of American yogurts)! Chobani Greek Yogurt gets a very enthusiastic thumbs up from me!
Want It: Chobani Greek Yogurt is currently available in regional grocery and specialty food stores throughout the country. For more information about Chobani, visit www.chobani.com.

I live in Oklahoma City. I shop at the Sam's Warehouse in Norman, Oklahoma. They carry the multi pack of 12 Chobani Greek Yogurt. 4 of each flavor of peach, blueberry, and strawberry. I have one each morning with fruit for breakfast. Very tasty, and keeps me full until lunch. I really love the creamy texture of this product.
