(Anything I find swell. Posted on Sundays. Real scientific, I know…)
If you spot this Chobani Crazy Love billboard about Toronto, be sure to snap a picture of it and share it with Chobani on Twitter (their handle is @Chobani) or on Facebook — and they’ll send you some samples of their Greek yogurt as thanks!
(I *finally* spotted it this morning at the end of a long, long, long run — highlight of the run, actually.)

(I just like saying Chobani, it’s fun! Try it.)
I don’t know where I first heard of Chobani — probably some foodie blog a few years ago, and I’d read that it was the best Greek yogurt ever (and had heard that people even make cross-border shopping trips to pick up the stuff) — so I was dying to try it, but it was only sold in the U.S. I even looked for it whenever I was stateside but I usually didn’t have a fridge in my hotel room so it just never worked out.
So I was postiively giddy to hear it was launching in Toronto.
I got my hands on a few containers last week…and my verdict?
It’s good…but I think it’d been built up so much from all the hype that I expected it to be the best yogurt I’d ever had, and like I said it’s just not blowing my mind.
I think people go bananas over the fact that it’s fat-free. Which, yes, I like. And while it may seem high in sugar, lactose tends to be high in sugar so I’m guessing much of the sugar content is likely from that (plus it’s natural sugar, which I much prefer to aspartame). It’s also high in protein (as Greek yogurts are) — two times the protein compared to regular yogurt.
Available in five flavours (Black Cherry, Strawberry, Peach, Pomegranate and Plain) at Loblaws, Fortinos, Superstore and Valu-Mart locations in Toronto.; $1.79 for 170 gram container, $8.59 for 907-gram container.

My new favourite breakfast is Greek yogurt with some granola or fruit. And I love when I come across some research that backs up any healthy new habit I’ve picked up:
Kicking off your day with a healthy breakfast, in particular one that is protein-rich (Greek yogurt is high in protein btw), helps cut down your food cravings and prevent overeating later on in the day, as shown in University of Missouri research.
(It also helps control reward-driven eating behaviour, apparently. And I say apparently as some of you may recall the cupcakes I had on Sunday after my race. Whatevs–I stand by my decision. 21.1k and a personal best, I deserve cupcakes, darn it! 🙂
Greek yogurt with berries and nuts, SkinnyTaste.
