Re: (...)
I have to admit that the kids and I are not huge fans of greek yogurt. Maybe we just havent found the right flavor/brand yet. It is a little grainy and strong tasting for me.
BUT - we found one we like! I thought I would share. It is Chobani Champions - for kids. It is whipped so you loose some of that grainy texture, and probably has more sugar - but still not as much as Yoplait.
Here is a comparison:
Yoplait 6oz = Calories 170, total fat 1.5g, sugars 26g, Protein 5g
Chibani 3.5oz = Calories 100, total fat 1.5g, sugars 11g, Protein 8g.
Different serving sizes but is sure packs a nice protein punch.

So, is it Chobani or Chibani??
Sounds good, where did you find it - regular grocers?

Sorry Chobani Champions. Steve got it at the commissary, so it must be widely available.

Chobani is AWESOME!! I love just about all the flavors and Wegman's carries all the flavors. 16 g of protein, lower calorie content than most other yogurts with fruit (sniff, I miss Dannon's Boysenberry), and great fruity flavor!

Thanks for the info, Erin! I'll have to tell Ashley. She LOVES Greek Yogurt, so she may not want to pay extra for it....my little bargain shopper....but I'm sure she would love to try it to see if it is worth the extra bucks!

If you guys like yogurt, try Trader Joe's European Style chocolate or mocha yogurt. Heavenly.

We prefer Greek yogurt to other types. Mostly buy plain, then add preserves or fresh fruit and honey.

"Mostly buy plain, then add preserves or fresh fruit and honey." that's what I was going to say - I like to do this with cream cheese also, jam, fresh fruit, honey, chutneys, etc.

Oops! Not really on topic.
If blueberry muffins have blueberries in them, what do vegan muffins have?
