The beautiful thing about a year long blog is
that I will be reviewing certain types of foods that I have already dappled
with, meaning in this case, that I won’t have to re-explain the revulsion I
feel while spooning Greek yogurt into my mouth. If you’ve been reading, you get
it. It’s an obligation and it makes me feel both serious and mature. Silver
Lining? Apparently the yogurt industry is going bat shit crazy and any flavor
you can imagine, well they have gone ahead and just stirred that right in.
I check food news with the frequency that any responsible adult should check the real world news. A couple of months ago, I caught wind
that Chobani was coming out with a Green Tea Greek Yogurt. The original packaging
in the preview was white and it looked to me like it was actually a container
that could easily be mistaken for vanilla. Without a release date, I have been
checking grocery stores regularly staring at too many vanilla flavored Chobani
yogurts in a mixture of disgust and disappointment.
Over the course of the past month, I have
acquired a food blog enthusiast who adds quite a bit of value to this blog.
Having already discussed this yogurt, this Ace showed up and gave me exactly
what my taste buds curiously wondered about. Opening the lid, you can see that
while the yogurt has a hint of green, it doesn’t look like there’s a ton of
fake dye in it for dramatics. There is no notable smell I was able to pinpoint
either.
There’s no way that my assessment of the taste
here is going to convey the positive sentiment I felt, but to me – this yogurt
tasted nothing like green tea. To be frank, it tasted like full fat yogurt (2%)
flavored with parmesan cheese. It wasn’t sweet, it was savory to me but overall
the taste rocked. I have no idea how this tastes like actual green tea
(although one other taster believed there were hint traces), but if I didn’t
have that expectation then this would have been a home run for me. You will see this yogurt in my grocery cart next time I see
it. If you give it a try, let me know what you think.
