Some of you know that I am currently on a weight loss challenge with some friends, and the cornerstone of my new diet plan is More Protein, Less Fat. (Yes, that’s revolutionary. I should totally start my own diet program with that keen insight, don’t you think?) I’ve been on the plan for five weeks and hands down my favorite new “power” food is Greek yogurt. It’s thick and delicious, easy to get in either low-fat or fat-free varieties, and loaded with protein.
So when the nice folks doing PR for Chobani contacted me to see if we’d like to try their brand new Chobani Champions—4 oz. kid-friendly flavors of their yummy yogurt—I couldn’t say yes fast enough. My refrigerator is always full of Chobani cups, but for the most part I hunch over them and hiss “My preshuuuuuuus!” whenever the kids get near them. Ahem. Anyway, they sent us a 4-pack sampler and the kids inhaled them. (Leaving me to hog all of the fat-free adult-sized pomegranate yogurts to myself.)
I think they were a little alarmed by my passionate thanks (“We love Chobani so much! May I please have your babies?”), and so to get me off their backs they’ve offered up some more yogurt for me to share with you, lovely readers.
Five lucky Want Not readers will each receive eight Chobani Champions, two each of verryberry, honeynana, strawnana and chocolate. (It probably goes without saying that my daughter declared the chocolate the best, but I think it’s very telling that my son’s pick was the honeynana. This stuff is amazing.)
Want to win ‘em? Of course you do! To enter this contest, first go review the contest rules and regulations, then come on back here and leave a comment on this post by 8:00 a.m. Eastern (5:00 a.m. Pacific) on Monday, February 8th, 2010 to be in the running.

I am a fan of yogurt. I am always looking for new kinds to try.
So I have to admit I had to google Greek yogurt. Then I had to click where to buy Chobani in my area.
May have to try this whether I win or not!
Yummy yum yum. Yum! Thanks!

OH yes!!! Sas efharisto! (Greek for thank you!)
We haven’t tried Chobani—would love to!
Oh, yum. The kid will be lucky if he gets some!
Delish!
I really need to buy some. I have heard so many good things about this stuff.

My kids have recently discovered how much they love yogurt that I have a hard time keeping it in my house these days!
Like yogurt, but hate you are on a diet. Just had a weird epiphany last night. My sister is 18 months older than me. My brother is 18 months younger than me. And they both eat organic stuff and limit fat. I work out like a fool and eat what I want. They both have wrinkles, I don’t. Knock on some heavy, heavy wood.
My kiddos LOVE Greek yogurt, but I’ve never seen the Chobani flavors around here. Sounds like yummy stuff!
I love Chobani!!
I’d love to try these, but alas, according to their website, there is not a retailer within 80+ miles of my home that sells it.
I’m counting on you to help me out, pretty Mir. Pick me! Pick me! (And thanks!)
i’m dying to try greek yogurt; i just decided it might be the key to all mysteries related to WHY WON’T THE SCALE MOVE?!?

I heard about Greek yogurt a few days ago online somewhere and I have been curious to taste the difference!
Dear magic number generator-please pick me
I’ve never tried this but both me and my son love yogurt-now I’m curious!
We are OBSESSED with Chobani yogurt at our house, and we’d love to have some to share with our little girl!
I’ve never had Chobani, but we do like a couple other brands of plain greek yogurt with curry or lamb dishes — would be fun to give it a try.
Love to try it. =)
I love Chobani and don’t care to share. Is that wrong?
Sounds so delicious. Could be that it’s also close to lunch time and my tummy is growling.
Pick me! Pick me!
I LOVE greek yogurt. I’d love to introduce my daughter to it!
My kids are yogurt fiends. This would be great! And you’re very pretty.
Ooh, we love greek yoghurt too. Is it wrong if grownups eat the kids version?
That sounds like great flavors!

Would love to try – thanks!

We have never tried this kind before, but are always looking for something healthy the kids will eat.
I’ve never tried the greek yogurt, but my girls like yogurt so we’d love to try these.
I think I might be tempted to hoard this for myself…but then again, I might share too!

Usually the only yogurt I like is the full-fat (whether cow, buffalo or goat) stuff from the nature-granola-type store, but these sound promising.
We love yogurt at my house!
I’ve never tried this yogurt, but from your glowing recommendations, it seems high time that I do! It might help considerably that I’m positively overflowing with general awesomeness.
Thanks for the contests!!
This is the only yogurt I like and I too am very greedy with it in my fridge. Would love to try the new ones and I might even share with my DD.

One of my favorite snacks is to take plain or vanilla Greek yogurt, a bit of brown sugar, and fresh blueberries (in season) and mix it all together. So, so yummy.
Oh man. LOVE Chobani and would LOVE to win these!
We are OBSESSED with Chobani around my house. We can get it in bulk for a great price at Costco and that is the one of the only reasons why we have a Costco card. Stir some low-fat granola in a bowl of strawberry Chobani and you have a breakfast that will keep you full for hours and hours.
Pick me, pretty Mir!! I might even share some with my children…
I love Chobani but there is one small problem, so do my kids. They always seem to eat it all. Ok not a bad problem to have since it is so good for them. However, if they have thier own I will no longer need to hide a container way back in the fridge behind the leftovers…
I love yogurt. I have never tried this brand before.
Ooooohhh!! Been wanting to try Greek Yogurt and these sound so yummy!
Pick me!! My daughter is on a Greek yogurt spree. We need those coupons. Thanks, Mir!
yum – I started on WW last week and this would be *fabulous*

This would be a great way to try the Greek Yogurt. Thanks!!
Oh, ME!

OHHH THIS SOUNDS SOOOO DELICIBERRYGOOD!
If I win, I will put it in the back of the fridge, away from the kiddos grabby paws.
Thanks!
They’ve got to be healthier than the Trix yogurt my kids eat now!
My kids can’t get enough of any kind of yogurt, so this sounds awesome!!
I love the adult yogurt so the kids should be fantastic as well!
I’ve been wanting to try Greek yogurt. Thanks!
