Chobani Greek Yogurt with A Hint of…Review

Fro-yo girl here. This past August, Chobani rolled out its new line of low sugar, high protein Greek yogurt, called A Hint of…, across the US. Hint achieves a milder flavor by using different yogurt cultures than Chobani’s core Greek yogurt line. It does not contan high intensity sweeteners. I found it at Target for $1.59 each, with a 30 cents off coupon, compared to $1.00 for the core Chobani Greek yogurt line. It’s more expensive than the regular Chobani but it appeals to people like me who find that regular yogurt is often too sweet. Chobani uses “hand-selected varietal fruits and nourishing spices for a curated approach to wellness and taste.”

Hint comes in seven flavors: Madagascar Vanilla & Cinnamon, Wild Blueberry, Monterey Strawberry, Gili Cherry, Alphonso Mango, Clingstone Peach, and Willamette Raspberry. All of the flavors sound appealing.

Each 5.3 oz cup contains 2% milkfat, 12g protein, and 9g of sugar. Demand has increased for less sweet options (yay!).

The packaging is nice – with a subtle hint of color towards the bottom hinting at the flavor within. The shape is curved.

* Hint of Willamette Raspberry: The yogurt smelled nice and yogurt-like. The texture was smooth, creamy, and thicker, though not as thick as skyr. The raspberries were blended in. I could not see any seeds or skin. The color was a pretty pale pink. One cup (150g) was 120 calories. The flavor was pleasant – sour, tangy, with less raspberry flavor. It’s a milder yogurt, as Chobani promised. It was definitely sweet enough. I don’t need a milder yogurt though, so I’m more of a skyr person. I appreciate Chobani's low sugar line though, and I like how it does not use high intensity sweeteners.

Ingredients: Lowfat yogurt (cultured pasteurized nonfat milk, cream), water, evaporated cane sugar, raspberry puree, natural flavors, vegetable juice concentrate (for color), fruit pectin, locust bean gum, guar gum.

4 out of 5 stars.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
