Hey All!
So I was given the amazing opportunity to try Dannon® Oikos® Greek Yogurt for the first time by Dannon® and the fabulous ladies at Clever girls and I have to say I fell in love with this yogurt! I was so happy to get to try this as I’ve heard so much from friends about how Greek yogurt is so much better than regular yogurt. I was so happy to finally get the chance to try the different flavors for myself since I am now the self proclaimed Oikos® addict!
If you didn’t know Oikos is the Greek word for house. It’s also the root word for ecology. Which I think is great since it kind of makes you feel right at home with your yogurt choice. No pun intended. Well…a little pun intended. This yogurt is the way artisan Greek yogurt is was meant to be!
Is Oikos® the best yogurt in the world you ask? At the moment I seem to think so! I love snacking on it every day. My favorite thing to do is I like to get the Vanilla flavor and fill it with granola and Blueberries! It tastes sooooo good! Like heaven!
I also tried the Strawberry and Blueberry Fruit on the Bottom favors which are amazing since as I said they have real fruit at the bottom of the yogurt! I simply just added some granola to those flavors. Dannon® Oikos® Plain and Fruit on the Bottom contains 0% fat, while the Dannon® Oikos® traditional blended varieties contains about 3% fat. Both are an excellent source of protein, twice that of most regular lowfat yogurts.
One thing I found that I really love about Greek Yogurt is the texture. Dannon® Oikos® is created through an authentic Greek straining process which gives it a rich and creamy-thick texture. It’s thick and creamy as unlike typical yogurt that can be watery. Did I just make up a word? I find I am loving the thickness of this yogurt. It’s like a yummy parfait!
Just so you know Dannon® Oikos® 0% Fat Berry Flavors beat Chobani 2-1 in a taste test!
I also made a great smoothie with this yogurt since it is so thick! I simply added Vanilla Oikos®, Organic Strawberries, Organic Blueberries, a Splash of Milk, a Dollop of Honey, and Ice to my blender and whipped it up! I had myself a darn good and YUMMY smoothie! Not to mention it’s healthier than any other snack you might eat. Dannon® Oikos® 0% varieties contain active yogurt cultures and range from 80 calories (Plain) to 130 calories (Fruit on the Bottom) per 5.3 oz. cup.
