This week, I'm reviewing the deliciousness that is Chobani Greek Yogurt!
I had been hearing and reading hype about greek yogurt, but hadn't really paid much attention since I enjoyed the Stonyfield Farms fat free regular yogurt. As a vegetarian, I have to find good ways to work protein into my diet that don't involve meat, and earlier this week I read that greek yogurt has about twice the amount of protein as regular yogurt, so I had to try it.
There were lots of options for Greek yogurt at the grocery store, but I ultimately settled on Chobani because it was fat free, free of artificial sweetners, and on sale! It's a little more expensive than the yogurt I regularly buy (A little over $1 per serving) but I have to tell you, it is work every single penny of that.
It was like eating a dessert. It was rich, thick, and creamy, like full-fat yogurt! It was a "fruit on the bottom" kind of yogurt, which I typically don't like, but it mixed really well and was absolutely delicious. If you're comparing to other fat-free yogurts, it has more calories (I know Dannon's fat-free is 60 calories, and Yoplait's is 100 calories -- Chobani is around 140 calories), so if you're budgeting calories, you might have to make some adjustments -- but since it's higher in protein, it stays with you longer, too!
There are lots of benefits to choosing Chobani Greek Yogurt as well. From their "About" page, the benefits include:
- All natural. No preservatives. No artificial flavors.
- No synthetic growth hormones: No rBST-treated milk.
- Includes 5 live & active cultures, including 3 probiotics.
- Made with real fruit.
- Twice the protein of regular yogurts.
- A good source of bone-building calcium.
- Gluten-Free and Kosher-Certified.
- Safe for people with corn, nut and soy allergies.
If you've been thinking about trying Greek yogurt, you can try Chobani's for free! (I paid for mine before I saw this coupon!) They're offering a coupon for a free cup of Chobani yogurt.
Next time I buy yogurt, I'll buy this kind again.

A fat free yogurt with no artificial sweeteners? I didn't think such a thing existed. Thanks for the review! I'll definitely be trying some of this.
We love yogurt, thanks for the review
