What is Greek yogurt? Is yogurt which has been strained in a cloth or paper to remove the liquid whey, hence it has a thicker consistency than the regular (plain) yogurt. Greek and plain (regular) yogurt are made by fermenting milk with live bacteria cultures. The only difference is that Greek yogurt has a thicker consistency and creamier taste. When it comes to the nutritional values, both are healthy, a good source of calcium and protein, and help aid in digestion therefore they should be included in the diet regularly.
Last week, a box of delicious Chobani Greek yogurt was delivered to my doorstep. Inside is 12 different flavors of non fat and low fat yogurt: pineapple, mango, strawberry banana, blackberry, blueberry, blood orange, peach, pomegranate. I checked out what so special with this yogurt aside from its great taste.
I am a big fan of yogurt so I shared some flavors with my kids. I did it to get to taste all the 12 flavors and compare the taste. Among my favorite were the pineapple, mango, blood orange and blueberry. Just like any other brands, there are flavors that I am not really satisfied. Raspberry and peach are my least favorite. They are a little sour to my liking and not enough fruit at the bottom.
All I can say is that, I love the thickness, creaminess, tartness of the Greek yogurt as well as the jammy layer of fruit at the bottom. The yogurt and the fruit complimented well with each other. I highly recommend this product because of the great taste and nutritional values it gives to our body.

I'm not much into yogurts but I know they are good, health wise...I do eat them once in a while especially the pineapple-flavored ones...they are my fave...:-)
ReplyDeletehope this is available in PH
ReplyDeleteI love thick yogurts. I hope I can see this in the supermarket when I do grocery shopping.
ReplyDeleteI really didn't use to like yogurt but since they came out with different flavors, it's grown on me. I will definitely check our local supermarket and check the imported section if they have this. :)
ReplyDeleteI love yogurt and this looks like a delicious brand! I wish it's available here.
ReplyDeleteAt first I do not like the smell and I thought the smell is aweful :-( but when I start to mix it and taste it...very delish indeed! healthy snack to munch too :-)
ReplyDeletei'm not big on yogurt as well but that one looks really good. too bad i can't try it out as it isn't available here in our local stores.
ReplyDeleteIm not a big fan of yogurt, but I do taste them from time to time. They say its really healthy, but for me if its healthy it should also taste good so that a lot of people actually eat them.
ReplyDeleteI love yogurts but It seems that I can't have this one since, there's no store to buy this one. :(
ReplyDeleteI love yogurts the taste and flavor is so yummy but the sad part here is this is not available in PH :(
ReplyDeleteYogurts are healthier alternatives but it does taste still good for those craving for sweet foods.
ReplyDeletewow, sarap naman ng yogurt... specially when mixed with fresh fruits. Yahweh bless.
ReplyDeleteAs a yogurt lover, I hope they would sell their products here in Manila. ^_^
ReplyDeleteThe good thing about these yummy yogurts is that they are now readily available in the Philippines.
ReplyDeleteWhere in the Philippines is it available?
DeleteI can't stand the taste, that's for sure. However, knowing yogurts have plenty of health benefits in it. Yak I have to try consuming them. This Greek Yogurt is something new to me.
ReplyDeleteFirst time I heard this brand of yogurt. We usually buy the regular Nestle yogurt.
ReplyDeletehealthy living and more creamier. sounds like we got a winner here. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't like yoghurt much but my son does! So we make it a habit to buy every grocery day! :)
ReplyDeleteI've always loved yogurt. I try to have it as much as I can. My favorite flavor is strawberry. This Chobani Greek Yogurt looks yummy with all its flavors.
ReplyDeleteI really like eating yoghurt. It's a good a thing that it is available in many flavors already.
ReplyDeleteam a big fan of yogurt too .. just love to add fresh fruits on it . very healthy and tummy stimulating ..
ReplyDeletethe only av. yogurt in my place is made by nestle.. :( this product seemed better
ReplyDeleteI love yogurts! However, it's too expensive here in the Philippines. In Vietnam, a cup of yogurt is less than 10 pesos only! 3x less than the price of Nestle Yogurt.
Deletetime for that healthy drink, how i wish someone would also deliver these yogurt in my doorstep.. :D
ReplyDeleteI'm not a yogurt fan but this is look yummy!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first tasted a yogurt, I thought I would not try another one but when my taste buds became used to it... I eat but not much. I like strawberry flavored yogurt. This Chobani looks so delicious!!
