From the Heart of New York State – Chobani Powers Your Plate!

Greek yogurt – a delicious, versatile food made with centuries-old tradition, now supporting farms and farmers in many local communities, affordable, sweet or savory, perfect to pair with fruits, veggies, nuts, granola, and to serve as dips, smoothies, power bowls and snacks –  all while bringing the benefits of flavor and texture, probiotics, protein and nutrients to the occasion. It is hard to name another food like it!

Chobani Yogurts, literally made in the heart of New York State, have been central to helping so many understand, explore and enjoy the benefits of Greek yogurt. Several years ago, the Nutrition Team from Price Chopper was invited to the Chobani headquarters, to learn about the company and the many ways they work on creating quality. It was a great experience – we started at one of the local dairy farms and followed that fresh milk from cow to cup! Chobani brought a former cheese facility back to life and helped energize a food-tastic phenomenon! 

Low fat dairy is considered a nutrient dense food – milk is a nine-nutrient package and supplies several nutrients that children and adults alike need to increase, including potassium and calcium. Low fat dairy is also one of the food groups recommended to be included in heart healthy lifestyles by the American Heart Association, and is also supported by the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, (https://www.DietaryGuidelines.gov) with emphasis on fat- free and low fat dairy, about 3 servings per day, and attention paid to managing added sugars.

How can Greek yogurt power up your plate? On the American Heart Association website, check out Banana Bread with Greek Yogurt or try this one for muesli, another traditional food, Muesli, and serve with Chobani Fat Free Greek Yogurt. If you are looking for an easy way to add protein, Greek yogurt can have as much as 20 grams per cup! That protein can help keep you and yours full and focused on busy mornings, or satisfy a snack attack (and get one of those 3 recommended servings) between meals in the afternoon.
