Today is a great day! The sun is shining, the days are just about to get longer and Spring is on my mind. I am all settled in the new place and feel really good about life. I must say...I haven't been this happy in a long time! I have had some amazing products to try and review. One of which I will will be telling you about NOW! I got a variety pack from CHOBANI Greek yogurt!!! I was SO very happy to get the box and see that I had gotten the yogurt of my dreams. Ok, ok, ok. I will admit. Between Chobani and another company I am in the clear as far as buying yogurt for a couple weeks. Not complaining!
I was siked to open my first little container of Greek yogurt from Chobani. I say little because, I wanted this container to last forever.
Who the heck is Chobani and what do that do? Well, chill out! I will tell you!
They make Chobani Greek Yogurt deep in the rolling hills of Upstate New York. Their expert team is committed to bringing you all-natural products that are not only the highest quality but also taste great too.
Unlike regular yogurt brands who rely on artificial additives to enhance the taste of their products, their secret is not an ingredient but a passion and love for what we do…and a man who goes by the name of Mustafa.
Mustafa Dogan is Chobani’s Master Yogurt Maker. He’s an artisan armed with years of yogurt-making experience and is responsible for crafting the rich, deliciousness that is Chobani.
Mustafa custom blends special yogurt cultures just for Chobani. They add these to the milk that they receive daily from local farms to make yogurt. Then they strain this yogurt to make it outrageously creamy and ridiculously high in protein. Did you know it takes three pounds of milk to make one pound of Chobani?
This unique straining process is what makes Chobani Greek Yogurt “Greek” and full of flavor and health benefits:

What’s Greek about Chobani Greek Yogurt?
They get this question a lot! Many people think that “Greek yogurt” refers to where we make our yogurt; however, it’s actually the way we make it that puts the “Greek” in Chobani Greek Yogurt.
Unlike some Greek Yogurt companies that add thickening agents to their yogurts for texture, you won’t find any thickeners, gelatins or stabilizers in our yogurt. Instead we use a centuries-old straining technique to remove excess liquid. This is why Chobani is so ridiculously thick and creamy and packed with two times more protein that regular yogurts. Hail to the Greeks…Greek Yogurt that is!

What are probiotics?
Your body is home to billions of bacteria and other organisms. But don’t worry, these are good bacteria that help maintain balance in your digestive tract and boost your immune system.
However, antibiotics, poor nutrition, surgery, stress, alcohol, smoking, pollution, and aging can impair these bacteria.
Probiotics are living organisms found in certain foods and dietary supplements that help replenish and strengthen the bacteria naturally living in your body.
We add three types of probiotic cultures to Chobani Greek Yogurt: Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidus, and Lactobacillus casei in addition to the starter cultures, or Live and Active Cultures (see question above), needed to make yogurt.
