As some of you know, I’ve been spending my summer in the Big Apple. It’s incredible! Exploring feeds me a daily dose of Manhattan, and although I’ve been interning full-time, I don’t let my work schedule stop me. I’ve been loving dining out, typing away at coffee shops, hanging out at bars and indulging in lots of FRO-YO. I can’t get enough of sweets this summer, and I’m one-hundred percent taking advantage of discovering a new gelato or ice cream shop on every block (I can’t do that in Pittsburgh!).
So when I found out that Chobani—the maker of some deliciously healthy Greek yogurt—has its only yogurt shop in NYC, I knew I had to go! The Greek Yogurt go-to lives in SoHo and serves its signature, plain snack at its best – fluffy and fresh. I ordered one of the 10 combinations of sweet, salty and fruity toppings.
Here, I share the decadent snack’s ingredients, and I even improvise my own Chobani experiment so you can make your own! Even if you don’t enjoy a traditional Greek yogurt, I promise that this recipe can turn the bitter into a bittersweet treat.
At 150 Prince St., Chobani meets SoHo.
The yogurt creation I chose was Blueberry + Power. The flavor bursted across my taste buds and it was a great treat after my Saturday morning run. According to the shop’s menu, this portion included blueberries, chia seeds, hemp, walnuts and light agave. I definitely applaud this combination. Other ideas for yogurt ranged from Pistachio + Chocolate, Toasted Coconut + Pineapple and Peanut Butter + Jelly. But if you’re not a sweet tooth, you can still keep your eyes pealed for the Cucumber + Olive Oil combination. It’s even served with pita chips. Insane!
So. This is the part where YOU should try a Chobani-SoHo-inspired treat. I used some of the ingredient ideas from Chobani’s menu to create this baby. Enjoy!
Kait’s Chobani: Strawberry + Almonds
What you need:
4oz Chobani’s Vanilla-Blended Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup strawberries, chopped
1/4 raw almonds (chopped or unchopped)
1/2 teaspoon chia seeds
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
I bought the 16oz large container above so that I could scoop some out later. It was more economical to buy the larger portion, too!
Dive your spoon into the container of Greek Yogurt first. Next, add the chia seeds and almonds. The strawberries come next. Sprinkle the cinnamon to finish (I wish that I would have added the chia seeds before anything else).
I scooped this great combination into the glass bowl that my yogurt came in from Chobani. They let me keep it! (Not sure if that always happens, but it was a nice touch for this recreation).
The final product turned out as yummy as it looks! I will definitely be making this a second time. Or a third.
Let me know what you think! Anyone make another Greek yogurt combination?
