As I was getting ready to walk away from the dairy case in disappointing defeat, I noticed a woman taking some time choosing a flavor of a certain yogurt. I peeked to see what it was, and it was a brand I hadn't noticed before. Jake and I are recent converts to Greek yogurt, and I checked to see if it was Greek. It wasn't, and I, again, almost walked away. Then a manager walked by, instructing a stockboy to make sure he stuffed the Noosa yogurt section as full as he could because they went fast. That really peaked my interest. I picked a smaller sized tub of the mango flavor and checked the ingredients. Local. Real active cultures. On sale for $2, 8-oz/2-serving tub. So I bought it just to see.
When I got home, I grabbed a spoon and gave it a little taste. AMAZING. It was more like eating dessert rather than yogurt. Smooth, creamy, not too tart, but still perfectly tart. Not too sweet. Surely, this is full of fat and calories. To my delight, 130 calories per serving. Granted, the usual yogurt serving size is 6 ounces, not 4 ounces. But I'll take a 4-ounce serving of this over any other yogurt, hands down.
So, being the considerate wife that I am, I put the lid back on and waited for Jake to come home. I made him taste it. If you know Jake, you know that if he decides he's going to eat something, he's going to eat it. I had to take it from him and claim my portion. Here's the result.
If you haven't already, go and try this. They have interesting flavors. I think one was pomegranate-rhubarb. I may find myself in Whole Foods again soon.
