Yoghurt is a weird one for me. There used to be this passionfruit mango flavor I ate in Israel that was nearly perfection. Of course, I've had no luck at all finding much passionfruit here in the states especially not in the vicinity of yoghurt. So there's that, and then there's this thing I have about food dye. It totally freaks me out when yoghurt is pink/orange/not the color of milk. It makes no sense, it un-appetizes me.
Well, imagine my surprise and delight when I got to sample Chobani's new flavors and passionfruit was in the mix. OH ME OH MY! It was exactly what I've been searching for. They have a ton of amazing flavors, and everything seems to be appropriately colored. The best part? The only way that passionfruit yoghurt could get any better? It's Greek! Ah, how do I explain the greatness of Greek yoghurt? It's just so much better than yoghurt ever thought it could be. It's thicker, and it's more tart, it's versatile as all hell and well, I totally dig it.
Another thing: I spell yoghurt <<< that way.
I guess it's a little bit different but that's the way I've always spelled it.
Rest assured, I looked it up and it's a legitimate spelling,
just don't know how I inherited it. I think it looks rather nice actually.
In addition to the fun new flavors,
Chobani also hooked me up with a mix of their plain yoghurts
so I could mess around with some new recipes.
First up: spring veggies & yoghurt. Simple & tasty.
It's pretty straightforward,
just choose the veggies of you liking,
mix some olive oil with that great Greek yoghurt and you're good to go!
A quick and springy lunch.
Get EXCITED! Because I've got a great Greek yoghurt pancake recipe to share later this week too.
Such a versatile and lovable ingredient.
What's that? You want some of your own? Deal!
Chobani has offered to share a sampling of some of their flavors with you guys too.

ReplyDeleteIm really pissed, yet hopeful. Ive never seen those flavors of Chobani down here in Florida. Maybe they are on the way down south. What I usually do is make a Parfait for breakfast of Greek Yo-gert, fresh fruit,(whatever is in season)Some sort of fiber rich cereal and just layer in a coffee cup until i almost reach the top and drizzle with a bit of raw honey.
ReplyDeleteIve actually done Greek Yeoh-gyrt Pancakes before in place of Ricotta. The tasted really good with some roasted peach and brown butter sauce and pecans on top. Im starving now.

I spread heaping spoonfulls of yogurt on my eggos in the morning. I also think peanut butter and yogurt go quite well together, as weird as that sounds!

ReplyDeleteFantastic giveaway! It's actually my career goal to work for Chobani someday! My favorite way to eat "yoghurt" is as a dollop on top of Indian curried chickpeas. Hot and cold, it's the perfect mix.
ReplyDeleteI love to eat yogurt with fruit and granola.
ReplyDeleteI love YOU and yogurt too I guess.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog, great yoghurt recipes. Chobani is the best. Wish they had a coffee flavor, or wish I could figure out how to improvise one.
