A few weeks ago, I arrived home to a lovely box on my front porch.
And in the lovely box above the contents of which it contained are below........(please pardon the countertop clutter in the second picture)
Do you see all that yummy goodness potential??? I was so excited to test drive these products.
Thanks Chobani for giving me the opportunity to taste your products.
Until this point, the only Greek Yogurt I have tasted is Oiko's. Let's be real here and remember how much I raved about the yummy goodness that is Oiko's. Trying to top that would be pretty hard. Well my friends, I am here to tell you that Chobani Rocks My Socks right off!!! Here's the lowdown on how my taste buds felt about these fabulous flavors...
Plain: Good, thick and creamy! Much creamier than Oiko's by a long shot. Similar in taste, but this one tasted better.I liked to mix mine with some cocoa powder or some fresh frozen fruit like mixed berries.
Peach: Delicious! I really enjoyed the huge chunks of peach. It really made this flavor a great one!
Blueberry and Strawberry: Lots of fruit in both of these, great taste too, but I liked the peach better. It had a more powerful fruit flavor than these two. It seemed, to me, that these two lacked a bit of that even tho the fruit bits were in there.
Strawberry-Banana: I love me some strawberry-banana anything and this was quite tasty. Again, I would have expected a bit more of a PUNCH in flavor but it was still yummy goodness.
Pineapple: DELISH!!! Yum, Yum Gimme Some Delish!! The chunks of Pineapple in here were just the right size, taste and texture. This flavor was certainly my #2 spot. (Peach came in #3)
Raspberry: Tasted pretty good but i dunno..it was missing something. Maybe I am/was just spoiled by the Peach?!?
Pomegranate...OH BABY! Where have you been all my life?! For real...wanna make a permanent home in my fridge? Yes folks! This is my #1....
THEE BEST FLAVOR Chobani has added to their lineup. It seriously tastes just like the pomegranate minus the whole clean up...plus it's added into the greek yogurt for that extra protein packed punch that we all love and crave with the greek yogurts. Definately hands-down my #1 favorite flavor!!!!! Chobani did right when they made this flavor! Way to go Chobani!
Honey: Packed full of honey flavor but i'll be real with ya'll..i do not like honey in my yogurt so this one didn't fly with me. yuck! Tho if you are a honey lover, you would enjoy it.
And last but certainly not least......
Vanilla: Omg. This changed my yogurt-eating life! This is seriously my PERFECT yogurt. Thick, creamy, smooth, vanilla-y and just DELICIOUS. Ever since I got these samples (about a month ago) I have been trying to find a local retailer that sells the Chobani but alas, I'm very saddened...no one around here sells them. If they did, I would regularly buy the Vanilla and Pomegrante weekly! They both are THAT good!!!!
Oh but wait...the review doesn't stop there!!!! Chobani was also kind enough to send over the Children's Line called
Chobani Champions for Little Bear to try.
Straw-nana: Little Bear was not as excited with this one as she was the Very Berry but she did like it. It made a perfect addition to her snack line up.
Very Berry: Little Bear immediately went "Mmm" and smacked her lips with this one. She loves berry anything and this was PERFECT for her. She finished the cup in lightening speed and even asked for more! When I tried it I then knew why she liked it. It was just the right berry-fection.
Chocolate: Little Bear was not fond of this one at all!! She had one small taste and went "EW". Really, you should have seen the look on her face. I tried to take a pic but she wouldn't let me. I obviously had to take a taste for myself..EW is right!!! Sorry Chobani but you need to work on this one. It tasted so gritty and not chocolatey at all. Two thumbs DOWN on this one.
HoneyNana: Little Bear must be like me because she said "Ew" and made the face with this one too. It just wasn't her cup of tea - nor mine. I tried but again, we know how i feel about honey in my yogurt. no dice.
There you have it folks....it looks like Chobani is certainly a greek yogurt winner for this family. It's just too bad I cannot find it anywhere around here. I've since went back to my Oiko's yogurt and let me tell you, there is no comparison between the two once you try Chobani. I'm very sad I cannot get my hands on these. They are AWESOME and pack more protein in their cup than Oiko's. If you can grab your hands on some Chobani, I suggest you do...Oh wait, you can!!! Here's how......
