The perfect refrigerator staple…

Good afternoon!
For the next few weeks, while i’m dealing with the craziness of transition between my current and new roles, I will most likely need to mimic Danica’s approach and do shorter installments throughout the day during breaks, commutes, etc.
A few weeks back the wonderful people at Chobani sent me a cooler of their amazing yogurt! While i’d often seen Chobani products on the shelves at the grocery store I never bought it because it was always at least $0.50 more than Dannon Light n Fit. Well, after sampling a few of the flavors, i’ve realized why it costs more. This yogurt is no ordinary yogurt. In fac
t, it it thick, creamy, substantive, rich, and their flavored products have incredible sweetness! After a few tastes I realized this product would be the perfect component of an afternoon snack. I normally eat breakfast at 8, lunch at 12:30-1ish, and then dinner has been later and later since i’ve moved in with Bo. We normally eat dinner around 8:30. This means going 7-8 hours between lunch and dinner! On Friday I decided to bring a small piece of fruit for an initial snack at 2:30 and then Chobani Fat Free Strawberry and a fiber crisp for my 5:30 snack. Th

e yogurt, due to the amazing 14 grams of protein it packs, satiated all hunger pangs. In addition, it also quenched my sweet tooth as it does contain 19 grams of sugar. This seemed like a great deal of sugar at first but when you consider the afternoon snack alternatives that I would have had if my sweet tooth remained it is actually a great mix of sweet, substantive, and yummy. The strawberry flavor had chunks of real strawberries mixed in while also not tasting artificial. I will definitely continue enjoying this as an afternoon snack at least a couple times a week. If you hop over to their website you can find all the product information, recipes, and coupons!
Thanks Morgan!!
