Chobani Giveaway

I’ve been sick lately with a nasty cold.  Springtime hasn’t been in my favor this year, considering it’s the second time I’ve been sick in the last two months.  When I thought that nothing exciting was going to happen last week, Bryan sent me a text letting me know that a package was delivered while I was at work.  Look what I received in the mail…

CHOBANI!  Ever since I first tried Greek yogurt, I fell in love with the flavors that Chobani offered.  When the amazing people over at Chobani offered to send me a custom box, I couldn’t say no.  How could I?!  I have been eating yogurt almost every morning for breakfast at work, and I was out of my personal stash.

Before getting the package c/o Chobani, my favorite flavor was the Apple Cinnamon because of the chunks of apple at the bottom, but the flavors I received recently have changed my mind.  Let’s take a look into the box.

For my custom box I chose lemon, blood orange, and passion fruit.  The yogurt came packaged in a heat-proof container with multiple freezer packs, which made me pleased to know that the yogurt was still fresh and safe to consume.  Bryan even saved the freezer packs to use for a future picnic!   I was expecting the package, but didn’t know how much they were sending!  I knew that no matter how much I loved yogurt, there was no way that I could eat all of the containers by myself.  I decided to share the wealth with my friend Katie from work, because I know she loves healthy food as much as I do.  She tried the blood orange before I had a chance to, and she said it was so delicious!

The first flavor I opened was the lemon.  I immediately thought that the lemon tasted like lemon water ice (or Italian ice/shaved ice, for those of you not from the Philly area) or lemonade.  It is obviously very tart (you can smell it as soon as you crack open the lid), so if you do not like yogurt with a tang, you may not like this one.  I personally loved this flavor!  I thought that it may be my favorite of the three right off the bat.  I ate a second cup of lemon yesterday with a banana mashed in, and it was the perfect balance of tart and sweet.

The second flavor I tried was the passion fruit.  When I started to stir around the yogurt, I thought there were ants in it!  There were no bugs of any variety, but instead fresh seeds.  The seeds were a bit odd and that took some getting used to.  I never had yogurt with a crunch before!  However, I do love this flavor because of it’s uniqueness.  This flavor was a bit creamier than the other two, because of it’s fat content.  The passion fruit flavor is 2% and the others are non-fat.

My favorite flavor of the three has to be the blood orange by far!  I agree with Katie; it is DEEEE-LIIII-CIOUS!  Normally, I am not a fan of orange flavored food, but this is hands down the best flavor of yogurt I’ve ever had in my life.  The blood orange flavor isn’t as tart as the lemon, but also not as sweet as the passion fruit.  In my opinion, this flavor couldn’t be more perfect.
