Chobani is a high-protein, all-natural, Greek yogurt, making it a healthy and
delicious way to eat
SOUTH EDMESTON, N.Y., Jan. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Beef, chicken, and fish are
all great sources of protein, but do any of these come in strawberry? We
didn't think so.
That's why AgroFarma, Inc., a dairy product manufacturer based in South
Edmeston, N.Y., has introduced Chobani Greek Yogurt, a Greek-style yogurt that
contains more than two times the amount of protein than traditional American
yogurts and offers consumers a healthy way to get the energy they need for
everyday life. Chobani is also all-natural, made using traditional European
straining methods to deliver a rich, smooth, creamy texture and full-bodied
taste.
"Many of the popular American yogurt brands add artificial ingredients and
fillers such as high fructose corn syrup and corn starch to enhance taste, or
have the equivalent of a candy bar in sugar content. That's not healthy
eating," said Sophie Pachella, nutritionist and founder of EatStrong. "Chobani
packs twice as much protein as traditional American brands while remaining
very low in simple carbohydrates. It is a 100 percent all-natural way to eat
healthy and obtain the energy you need."
Chobani contains five live and active cultures, and is made with milk that
contains no artificial hormones. Chobani is also high in calcium and contains
active probiotics for healthy digestion. With six non-fat varieties available,
consumers can enjoy Chobani in fruit-on-the-bottom strawberry, blueberry, and
peach, as well as honey, vanilla, and plain (which is also available in two
percent and 10 percent fat varieties).
A study of more than 400 consumers found that 90 percent of them eat
yogurt, and nearly half eat yogurt several times per week. The research
revealed that consumers are looking for a yogurt that is a great source of
protein, all natural, low in fat and calories, and includes probiotics.
"These findings are consistent with the trends we see in the marketplace
right now. As consumers continue to seek out healthier ways of eating, many
are adopting the Mediterranean diet, and the rewards couldn't be greater,"
said Hamdi Ulukaya, president, AgroFarma. "People in the Mediterranean region
eat an abundance of food from plant sources, and consume yogurt and cheeses
that contain lean sources of protein. Their diet, along with plenty of
physical activity, contributes to the vibrant spirit we associate with a
Mediterranean lifestyle."
By eating Chobani Greek yogurt, people will also be able to tap into their
"CHO." Not to be confused with "Chi," CHO is what AgroFarma has identified as
the practical, deal-with-life energy derived from eating natural, high-protein
food sources such as Chobani Greek Yogurt. This empowering energy will help
people feel good while conquering their day.
Chobani's unique cup-style packaging is available in three sizes; 6 oz.,
16 oz., and 32 oz., with MSRPs of $1.59, $3.99, and $6.59, respectively. It is
currently available in regional grocery and specialty food stores throughout
the country. For more information, visit www.chobani.com.
