Non-Dairy Chobani Yogurt Review

Fro-yo girl here. Dairy-free continues to be all the rage. Chobani, the #1 Greek yogurt in the US, just introduced its first plant-based product, Non-Dairy Chobani. Chobani describes Non-Dairy Chobani as “a delicious, non-dairy coconut-based blend packed with probiotics and made with 25% less sugar than other non-dairy alternatives. It’s the perfect non-dairy choice, made the Chobani Way: with only natural ingredients and real fruit for a creamy texture and refreshing taste.” It’s non-GMO, soy-free, and gluten-free.

I found Non-Dairy Chobani at Sprouts in Alhambra, CA. The retail price was $2.49 and the sale price was $2.29. One cup is 5.3 oz, typical for yogurt. I like the leafy green packaging, a good visual representation for something plant-based. It’s interesting and even a bit strange that Chobani doesn’t call Non-Dairy Chobani yogurt.

Slightly Sweet Plain: Since this is the lowest sugar flavor, it caught my eye and interest. I’ve had coconut-based non-dairy yogurt before, but other brands. While COYO was too thick and rich, Dairy-Free Chobani suffers the opposite problem – it’s not thick enough. The texture is a little strange – liked thickened cream that’s almost gelatinous, something that’s obviously been thickened with additives. But I liked the overall mild coconut flavor (I don’t like coconuts) and the fact that it was less sweet. I suspect that Plain is the best Non-Dairy Chobani flavor. One serving is 130 calories, 8g fat, 16g carbs, 7g sugars, 2g fiber, and 1g protein.

Strawberry: This is a blended flavor. I could taste the strawberry and the coconut. The strawberry flavor was stronger. The flavor was fine but too sweet since it didn’t have any sourness or tanginess. One serving has 140 calories, 7g fat, 19g carbs, 11g sugars, 2g fiber, and 1g protein. 

Ingredients (Strawberry): Cultured coconut blend (water, coconut, tapioca flour, agar, cultures), cane sugar, strawberries, water, chicory root fiber, lemon juice concentrate, natural flavors, fruit pectin, fruit and vegetable juice concentrate (for color), locust bean gum

Available flavors of Single Serve Cups: Blueberry, Peach, Slightly Sweet Plain, Strawberry, and Vanilla

Available flavors of Single Serve Drinks: Mango, Slightly Sweet Plain, Strawberry, and Vanilla Chai

3.5 out of 5 stars.

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