Chobani Greek Yogurt
I was lucky enough to receive a box of samples from Tiffany at Chobani. Some of you have probably tried this brand of Greek yogurt before. But for those who aren’t as familiar, I hope this review will be helpful. And for those who are familiar – feel free to chime in with your opinion and agree or disagree with me!
Chobani Greek Yogurt
From the Chobani website: “Chobani Greek Yogurt is a richer, more indulgent way to get your protein. Chobani is all-natural made with hormone-free milk and low sugar.”
Chobani 0% Plain
Ingredients:
CULTURED PASTEURIZED NONFAT MILK. CONTAINS FIVE LIVE ACTIVE CULTURES INCLUDING S. THERMAPHILUS, BULGARICUS, L. ACIDOPHILUS, BIFIDUS, AND L. CASEI.
Review:
I am a big fan of the Plain variety. It’s got just the right balance of tartness and creaminess, so it isn’t overwhelmingly bitter and I am able to eat a container without putting in massive amounts of granola, syrup, etc. You have to stir the yogurt to get rid of some of the liquid, but that’s not really a big deal. Overall, the plain flavor was my absolute favorite because it’s very versatile and packs an insane amount of protein with only a small amount of sugar.

Chobani 0% Vanilla
Ingredients:
CULTURED PASTEURIZED NONFAT MILK, SUGAR, NATURAL VANILLA FLAVOR. CONTAINS FIVE LIVE ACTIVE CULTURES INCLUDING S. THERMAPHILUS, BULGARICUS, L. ACIDOPHILUS, BIFIDUS, AND L. CASEI.
Review:
As far as sweetened Greek yogurts go, this vanilla flavor has got it goin’ on! The sweetness isn’t overpowering and I still feel like I’m eating something light and nutritious. The sugar content is a bit higher, but it’s no different than regular fruit-flavored yogurts. I also should mention that I love the fact that all of these yogurts have five live active cultures. Coming from someone with stomach issues, a little probiotic never hurts!

Chobani 0% Peach
Ingredients:
CULTURED PASTEURIZED NONFAT MILK, SUGAR, PEACHES. CONTAINS FIVE LIVE ACTIVE CULTURES INCLUDING S. THERMAPHILUS, BULGARICUS, L. ACIDOPHILUS, BIFIDUS, AND L. CASEI.
Review:
If I’m being honest – and I am! – this was my least favorite out of all the sample flavors I received. The first bite was slightly bitter and off in some way, and I didn’t think the peach added much to the overall flavor, especially considering that it contributed so much extra sugar. As I continued eating, I did notice the flavor start to get better, so perhaps I just didn’t stir it well enough initially. The biggest difference between the plain variety and the fruit flavors in terms of nutrition is the extra sugar and a smaller amount of protein. But the cool thing about the fruit flavors is that there is REAL fruit at the bottom, so if you stir it up really well, you are able to get a small taste with every bite.

Chobani 0% Strawberry
Ingredients:
CULTURED PASTEURIZED NONFAT MILK, STRAWBERRIES, SUGAR. CONTAINS FIVE LIVE ACTIVE CULTURES INCLUDING S. THERMAPHILUS, BULGARICUS, L. ACIDOPHILUS, BIFIDUS, AND L. CASEI.
Review:
The strawberry flavor, on the other hand, was FANTASTIC. I suppose it may depend on what fruits you prefer to eat – I happen to like strawberries and blueberries better than peaches, particularly when it comes to yogurt. I thought that this flavor was incredibly creamy and the strawberry chunks were huge and really sweetened the deal. I think the key to the fruit flavors is to make sure to stir and spread the fruit syrup and chunks around so that you don’t have a bitter/sweet separation.

Chobani 0% Blueberry
Ingredients:
CULTURED PASTEURIZED NONFAT MILK, SUGAR, BLUEBERRIES. CONTAINS FIVE LIVE ACTIVE CULTURES INCLUDING S. THERMAPHILUS, BULGARICUS, L. ACIDOPHILUS, BIFIDUS, AND L. CASEI.
Review:
The blueberry was by far the best fruit flavor, in my opinion. Everything came together perfectly to create a creamy, sweet container of Greek goodness. Just look at that blueberry chunk in the picture above, and I’m sure you see what I mean
Through my review of all of the Chobani yogurts, the one area that seems to stay constant is the fact that it is the creamiest Greek yogurt I have had to date. It may require more stirring initially, but the overall taste difference is so worth it!

If you are uneasy about making the switch to Greek yogurt because you find the plain versions to be too bitter no matter how much honey, maple syrup, etc. you add to the mix, I highly suggest you check out Chobani and its vanilla and fruit-flavored versions. It will help make the transition into Greek yogurt easier, and you’ll still be getting a lot of the protein and probiotic benefits!
Thanks again to Tiffany for the great samples!

















You are very welcome! Nice Posting! -Tiffany
I have to say – Chobani yogurt is my favorite new nutritional find. The strawberry one tastes like a piece of strawberry cheesecake without all the fat, and I cannot believe the amount of protein in this yogurt! How do they do it? The plain has 18 grams! Do you happen to know if that is a whole protein (like in meat) or just a partial protein that needs to be combined with another to be whole? So good tho – I have been mixing the plain with a couple of Splenda packets and a whole bowl of mixed berries, it is so good!
Dana Koenig ~ Glad you like Chobani – it’s definitely one of my favorites! I’m pretty sure that it’s whole protein. It’s amazing how much they can pack into those containers. Your mix-ins sound awesome! Enjoy!
I just wanted to say thanks so much for this article – it was really informative and really well written. I’ve got some of the peach in my refrigerator, and I think I’m going to definitely go for the plain 0% fat next time.
I’ve just started a new article series on my quest for a healthy, balanced diet that is really easy to follow, and most especially, enjoy!

I tried this brand of Greek Yogurt for the first time today. Blueberry was my choice and it was a great one. Better then other brands I’ve tried in the past. Will buy again.
Make ANY flavor Chobani! Just buy plain…the options are unlimited!
Plain + Cherry Jam = Cherry Chobani
Plain + Maple Syrup = Maple Chobani
Plain + Grandma’s Applesauce = Spiced Apple Chobani
Plain + Lemon Curd + Freezer = Lemon Ice Chobani
Plain + Mashed Ripe Banana = Bananas & Cream Chobani
Plain + Mushroom Gravy = Gross
etc…
I just tried Chobani for the first time today! I have been wanting to switch to a yogurt that has more than just taste and sugar in a cup. I had the Vanilla Chobani and cut up some kiwi and blueberry flax for mix in’s. Not too bad, I will buy some more this weekend! – Lindsay
Ooh, good idea to add the kiwi and blueberry flax! I’m glad you liked it!
I love the honey and vanilla flavored. I mixed in a little cinnamon added some cut up strawberries, banana and raisins and called it a meal. it was so delicious! I must add that up until Chobani I hated yogurt because of the tastes…This yogurt is by far the best I have ever had and have recommended it to all my Facebook friends!
That sounds amazing! Never would have thought to add raisins – good call! Thanks for sharing
I tasted the Chobani strawberry yogurt today with granola and it was the best tasting yogurt I have tasted.
My taste buds are still thanking me.I am glad to have found a yogurt with the amount of protien for me.
Glad you liked it, Adair!
honey chobani is so good! great review : )
Thanks, Elizabeth!
Today was my first taste of Chobani yogurt[Pomegranate]…and I’m hooked! It was incredibly delicious…and even better,is the nutritional value! The downside is not being able to purchase this product anywhere near my home,Princeton WV.I was visiting my sister in Thomasville NC,and purchased Chobani at the Food Lion there. Another special feature of Chobani is that it’s manufactured in New Berlin NY,the home of my niece and her husband…who own the New York Pizzeria…some of the finest cuisine in Central New York!
Chobani rates an A+!
Thanks for sharing, Elaine!
I tried the yogurt a couple of weeks ago and it was delicious. Unfortunately, it turns out that I am extremely allergic to one of the active ingredients. If you are someone with allergies to antibiotics, you should talk to your doctor before trying the yogut to make sure that it is ok for you to eat. I would hate for anyone to have to go through the reaction that I had.
Hi Janice. I get an allergic reaction to greek yogurt and not to other yogurt. I can’t figure it out. I am allergic to antibiotics. If anyone can explain this to me, I would appreciate it. Thank you!!
what happen to you? I think I’m having the same reaction.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts ladies. I’m not sure if I can explain what is happening, but hopefully you are able to figure it out. I’m sorry to hear that you’ve had a reaction to it!
Just tried Chobani for the first time today and I am sold. So much better than Lucerne, Dannon, etc.
Agreed! It is the best!
I tried Chobani Yogurt a few months ago and I am hooked. Very tasty, rich and creamy. Blows the other yogurts away. And the toll free number is answered in America !! Not some overseas call center. I’m loving this company !!!!
You know I just noticed one word “hooked”. Please do investigate to see if there is nothing else added than yogurt. I have been soooooo hooked, I can go to the store in the middle of the night if I find no Chobani in my refrigerator.
Glad you’re loving it, Brian and Tatie!
Yes, hooked is the correct word! I’m hooked too. I LOVE this yogurt!
Awesome – thanks for sharing, Mary Jo
I was just introduced to Chobani yogurt from Costco. I am quite surprised at how much I like it! I had always been a fan of Yoplait, but felt they had too much sugar. Chobani’s flavored yogurt has a bit less sugar but comes with a protein punch! I am trying the plain and honey Chobani yogurts next as I am looking for yogurts with minimal sugars and no artificial sweeteners…trying to go back to nature without all the chemicals we have come to know if our food!
So far Chobani is a success with me! No more Yoplait, Chobani will now take its place…permanently!
I’ve grow to love lowfat/nofat dairy food.
But most have too much sodium (salt). Not so with Chobani! Recent studies claim that sodium is worse for your health than saturated fat.
I’m hooked on their zero percent plain yogurt. Just hope I can find some bulk deals on the 32 oz containers.
Love this stuff but it always gives me a stomach ache ! Had to quit eating eat
I tried chobani yogurt for the first time yesterday. I loved the taste and the fact of bone building calcium and high protein. It was going to be my new choice for yogurt. Unfortunately I ended up in the ER 12 hours later. I had a severe allergic reaction with bad rash , itching, and shortness of breath. Benedryl and prednisone took care of it and I am fine. Something with the active cultures must have not agreed with me. I am sorry I will not be able to eat this yogert because I really enjoyed the taste.
