Chobani Yogurt <\/p><\/div>\n

Anyone who reads my Daily Eats<\/a> section knows that I love me some Greek Yogurt.\u00a0 And even if you don’t read that section, I’ve already reviewed my favorite Greek yogurt,<\/a> so maybe you’ve seen that.\u00a0 But just in case you are an OHC virgin (GASP! Let’s fix that quick, shall we?) and brand spanking new to my site, please walk away with knowing about two of my loves:<\/p>\n

1. Greek Yogurt<\/p>\n

2. Dark as hell beer<\/p>\n

Not necessarily in that order.\u00a0 I do have other loves that interestingly enough also involve yogurt and other dark things, but since this is a Food Blog<\/em>, how about we stick with the above two for now?\u00a0 Good.<\/p>\n

Even though I have my favorite Greek Yogurt, I am open to expanding both my mind and my mouth.\u00a0 Meaning, I’m willing to try anything at least once.\u00a0 Chobani has exploded (not literally or we would be making non-PG references because exploding yogurt is ripe for all kinds of off color jokes) all over the interwebs.\u00a0 People were getting sent samples and others hav e found it in their stores.\u00a0 The Chobani fairy did not visit me nor could I find it in stores fro a very long time.\u00a0 Finally my local Meijer got some in.\u00a0 To Meijer’s credit, while they are slow about getting in new healthy products, I don’t really think their main client\u00e8le is asking for it.\u00a0 Even though I complain about their reluctance to get in products (Hello, can we finally have some Whole Wheat pastry flour?) it’s just to myself because I understand what the deal is.<\/p>\n

That said, I finally spotted some Chobani at Meijer.\u00a0 They had small single-serving containers and so I picked up a peach and a blueberry to try.\u00a0 Again it seems that the preference for these flavored Greek yogurts is 0% fat which I am not down with.\u00a0 I need a wee bit of fat in my yogurt please.\u00a0 The fruit is on the bottom so you have to stir a bit to get everything combined.<\/p>\n

I’m not going to beat around the bush but flat out tell you that I could not stand these yogurts.\u00a0 In fact, I disliked them so much I couldn’t even eat them.\u00a0 That goes for both the peach and the blueberry flavors.\u00a0 I’m talking, gag-inducing dislike for this yogurt.\u00a0 I’m shuddering right now at the thought of their taste.<\/p>\n

Many people dig them and hey that’s great because while I don’t like the yogurt, Chobani needs love from someone.\u00a0 Here’s why I am not down with the Cho’ Yo’.<\/p>\n

Since there’s no fat, this is not a lovely thick Greek yogurt.\u00a0 It is thin, made even thinner once you mix in the fruit.\u00a0 Andrea prefers thickness friends.\u00a0 Also this yogurt is insanly sweet.\u00a0 Which is actually what caused me to not be able to eat it.\u00a0 Thickness or lack there of,\u00a0 I’ll work with. Sweetness I can’t do anything about.\u00a0 This was, mouth-puckering, holy shit there must be a cup of refined bleached sugar in this thing<\/em>, kind of sweet.\u00a0 Two small bites was all I could manage before passing it off to my husband.\u00a0 I had to slam a huge glass of water just to wash the taste from my mouth and tongue.\u00a0 Yuck!<\/p>\n

My husband ate them just fine but he did admit that they were very sweet and while edible to him, not his preference.<\/p>\n

If you like your yogurt really sweet and are new to Greek yogurt this might be a good start for you.\u00a0 If you are like me and don’t like things that are overly sweet or prefer a bit of thickness, then I would suggest avoiding this yogurt as much as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
