Chobani Yogurt


For over a month i have been eating the Greek Chobani Yogurt and I am really now loving it! I am trying to eat it every day. At first it took me a while to get use to it but now i LOVE it. It is soooo good for you and is loaded with protein. I like the blueberry, strawberry and honey one. Just add a little flaxseed and some blueberries or fresh fruit and you have a nutritious snack. I recommend if you like eating yogurt you give this one a try. It is a great snack at night or before a workout. There is info below on it.

I wish everyone a healthy and happy weekend.

“Chobani” means shepherd in Turkish. This lovely yogurt line has been carefully shepherded by an emigrĂ© whose family makes yogurt and feta in Turkey. Using the same classic techniques to produce thick, triple-strained yogurt—known as Greek-style in the U.S.—Chobani Greek Yogurt is the thickest and most sour cream-like line of Greek-style yogurt we have found to date. People who should eat more yogurt or calcium in general, but don’t like the consistency or tanginess of most yogurts, may be very happy with Chobani.

Chobani is a very rich and ultra-creamy way to get your probiotics and protein—or simply to enjoy a delicious cup of yogurt. All-natural and low in sugar (the plain nonfat is 100 calories a serving and the fruit flavors are 140 calories), the line is made with hormone-free milk. It contains live and active cultures as well as probiotic cultures. And, at 14g of protein per 6-ounce serving, it has two times the amount of protein as traditional American yogurts.
In addition to Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, which are required by USDA standards to produce yogurt, Chobani contains probiotic cultures of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidus and Lactobacillus casei.

Probiotic bacteria, which are live and active cultures,* occur naturally in the digestive tract, where they help promote a healthy balance, good digestion and overall intestinal vitality. However, they need regular replenishing, and people with digestive problems can benefit from products enhanced with probiotics (which have a much higher concentration of live and active cultures than regular yogurts with “live cultures”).
