WHAT: Chobani "A Hint Of" yogurts
STATS: Vary slightly by flavor. A 5.3-ounce container of the Clingstone Peach flavor contains 120 calories and 2.5 fat, 11 carbohydrate, zero fiber, 9 sugar and 12 protein grams. We tried press samples. More information at chobani.com.
THE SKINNY: Forget plain peach and raspberry.
Chobani's "A Hint Of" yogurt line -- which it describes as "a wink at the beauty and simplicity of a juicy little piece of nature, blended with perfectly creamy Greek Yogurt" -- comes in flavors with more sophisticated names.
Clingstone Peach. Willamette Raspberry. Madagascar Vanilla Cinnamon. Wild Blueberry. Monterey Strawberry. Gili Cherry. Alphonso Mango.
Uh, do you know what most of those things are? Me neither, until Googling.
Take the Clingtone Peach. It's simply a peach with flesh that clings to the stone or pit.
The flavors sound pretty precious.
But taste-wise, they're subtly pleasant. Ultimately, it's just yogurt -- smooth, not too tart, not too sweet yogurt.
But if Chobani chooses to get all fancy, that's (Clingstone) Peachy with us.
