Chobani Yogurt Coupons Giveaway--2 winners (ends 3/20) (CLOSED)

I am so excited!  I had my first PR success with my blog!  Remember my review of Chobani yogurt that I posted last night?   I sent an e-mail to the company asking if they would do a giveaway, and I was blown away at their response.  They have agreed to provide 12 coupons which they said I could divide between two people or give all to one person.  I have chosen the former because I always like giveaways with lots of winners, don't you?

List each entry in a separate comment, and make sure I have a way to contact you.  Either put your e-mail address in the comment, or make it available in your profile.  This giveaway is only open to U.S. addresses.  You may also want to check out their site to see what stores near you carry their yogurt.  I have sometimes won coupons and discovered that I cannot get the items where I live!

Twinkle Tuesday--Chobani Greek Yogurt Review

First of all, my new theme for Tuesday is "Twinkle Tuesday."  This gives me a chance to do weekly reviews of things that are important to me and to my family.  I will be sure to spotlight something special!

Chobani Greek Yogurt has become my yogurt of choice.  I first discovered it at Costco this summer, I believe.  I have only tried three flavors so far--blueberry, peach, and strawberry.  I had tried Greek yogurt before, but I wasn't too happy with it.  That all changed with this brand.  I love the thickness of the yogurt and the flavor.  It is not too sweet--which is nice for a change.  And it is very filling.

Which brings me to the nutrition facts.  Chobani has twice the amount of protein compared with other yogurts--14 grams per serving.  No fat--that's nice.  And while it uses sugar, the calories are only 140 per yogurt.  

I noticed on their website that they have a lot of recipes.  I have to admit that I have never thought of making anything with their yogurt, but I may just have to try a few.  I did not realize that this product can be found in other stores besides Costco!  Be sure to check out their list to find stores near you that carry the yogurt.  I would also suggest checking out their blog.  It looks quite informative.

Just so all of you will know, Chobani did not compensate me for this post--in fact, they do not even know that I am reviewing their product.  I plan to let them know!  All these opinions are completely my own.
