I'm pretty sure it's not a secret that me and Greek yogurt are in a serious relationship. I know, I know...hubby can read this. But he's well aware of the affair. At least once a day I need my fix. Sometimes it's a mid-morning snack with fruit, or a lunchtime topper for baked potatoes. Other times it's the sweet dessert topped with fruit and chocolate shavings that completes my night. Plain, vanilla, fruity...I could wax poetic about the stuff for ages.
Don't worry, I won't.
What I will say is that as much as I love Greek yogurt, I figured it was all the same. I saved a little money (18 cents on each container at my local store) in order to get the cheaper no-name brand. Then Chobani was on sale, so I picked up a few. Um, this stuff is THICK! So much creamier and thicker - and tastier - than any other brand I've tried. Sorry, extra 18 cents. You are now being diverted to my Chobani fund.
I won a Chobani giveaway a couple of weeks ago hosted by Itzy's kitchen, and got this awesome delivery sent to my door:

Obviously I couldn't wait to dig in. That was on Friday, and now almost 2 of those 32 ounce containers are finished. I wasn't kidding when I said I eat it every day. High protein, low in fat and calories, filling and tasty. Here are some of my favorite ways to use Greek yogurt:
Topped with fruit and PB rice cakes |
Served with honey caramelized peaches |
As a topping for baked potatoes |
Hungry yet? I just ate dinner and I am again already. Dang pictures of good food are distracting me. Right - Chobani! I'm sure you want to win some of your own right? The lovely folks over at Chobani offered to send one reader a 12 pack of individual Chobani flavors to try out. Some of them include black cherry, lemon, apple cinnamon, blood orange, honey and pomegranate.
