search terms and a giveaway.

sometimes i need a laugh so i go check out what terms people typed into their search engine which led them to my blog.  yes, it is humorous because my blog popped up~but what is even funnier is the fact that people are actually searching for these terms to begin with.  i mean really…

• “mucinex guy.” hmm.. this dude is slightly creepy, why you would want to search for him i am not sure:

but i can tell you mucinex is a cureall. pricey, but it works.

• “my butt hurt so bad after my first spin class.” ohhh me TOO! you can read about it here. i wonder if those padded shorts do any good? maybe she knows?
• “turkey woman costume.” wrong blog. check out courtney’s ;)
• “homemade viking costume.” well that one makes sense. if you need tips on how to make one~i am your girl. i make a mean viking getup:

• “does drinking protein shake make people taller?” answer: NO. i am 5’1” and drink multiple protein shakes weekly. sorry charlies.
• “growth cycle of an entlebucher.” oh man. mine is so tiny. then again, she is mixed with a cavalier, so she will never be as big as a full grown entle. she is still the cutest bean i’ve ever seen!

• “words that rhyme with meal.” hmmm well let’s see: deal, real, feel, heel, ill, kill, kneel, peel, seal, teal, veal, wheel, zeal.  there ya go. not sure why someone would have to google that.  here is a better question: words that rhyme with ORANGE.
• “homemade greek goddess costume.”  yep.. i got one of those too!

• “grumpy coffee mug.” umm last time i checked coffee was the reason i am NOT grumpy.
• “chobani greek yogurt review.” well.. what do you know!  you came to the right place~time for a comprehensive CHOBANI REVIEW!!

the lovely people at chobani set me their delicious, protein-packed yogurts to try out & review.  i enlisted the help of momma b. and we ate our way through the samples.  here is what we thought:

chobani honey

janetha: someone ate my honey flavor!  i have no idea what it tastes like. bummer.

letter grade: not applicable.

momma b: creamy.. don’t really like the honey flavor. personal preference.

letter grade: C+

chobani peach

janetha: seeing as how peach is my favorite fruit, this was a no brainer. FAVORITE flavor by far~not too overpowering in the sweet category and i love that it is not ORANGE or artificially colored like other peach yogurts.  the big chunks of peach at the bottom were the best part. side note: marshall also loved this flavor the most.

letter grade: A+++

momma b: YUMMY! just the right amount of sweetness with the greek yogurt taste.

letter grade: A+

chobani pomegranate

janetha: i loved the pom arils in the yogurt~they were fun to crunch on and the tart of the pom went great with the tart of the greek yogurt.

letter grade: A

momma b: WOW this one was a surprise. i thought i wouldn’t like it but it was very tart and flavorful!

letter grade: A

chobani strawberry 

janetha: i had higher hopes for this one.  while it tasted good, there was a tad artificialness to the whole thing.  it was good but i probably would opt for another flavor when purchasing chobani.

letter grade: B+

momma b: not enough strawberries, but a great flavor!!

letter grade: A

chobani vanilla 

janetha: i was stoked on the fact that the sugar was lower in this flavor.  it was second runner up to the peach.  i love vanilla anything so it was a given that i would love this one.  i would definitely buy this flavor over and over!

letter grade: A+

momma b: someone stole my vanilla! i would have loved it.

letter grade: it would have gotten a B+ (haha ok mom, how would you know what it would have got?)

chobani blueberry

janetha: i was disappointed to have NO blueberries in this one. i still liked the flavor but i think my container was defective.. sad.

letter grade: B

momma b: VERY good, second favorite. had a couple blueberries but could have used more.

letter grade: A

chobani plain 

janetha: plain greek yogurt is my yogurt of choice.  i like to have unsweetened yogurt as a base and then sweeten it myself~i am not a fan of added sugar.  so this was definitely a winner for me.  i used it on both sweet and savory dishes and it worked well for both.  perhaps a bit better in the savory department?

letter grade: A-

momma b: did not try the plain.

letter grade: not applicable.

janetha: uhhhh i think i died and went to heaven. this is the creamiest greek yogurt ever. and i have a sensitive tongue which is easily irritated by pineapples but this yogurt did not hurt it at all! score.

letter grade: A+

momma b: this one i LOVED! had small chunks of pineapple.

letter grade: A

so there you have it!  it was unanimous that peach chobani was our favorite, but that may be because we are both really partial to peaches ;)  if i was to purchase chobani in stores, i would buy the peach, vanilla and pineapple flavors.  again, i try to stray from flavored yogurts but these did taste INCREDIBLE!

thanks chobani!
