Gabby L Reviews: Chobani Giveaway

This giveaway is being hosted by Gabby Lynn Reviews.

 Any questions about the following should be directed to gabbylynnob@gmail.com

Chobani is a Greek Yogurt company that is local to me! Chobani was founded on the belief that people have great taste, and should be given great options. In 2005 Chobani began to make high-quality, great tasting Greek yogurt, made with all natural ingredients. Chobani has grown from a company of 5 employees to more than 2,000. They also started off using just a truck of milk a day, to now using over four million pounds pounds of milk per day!

 Because Chobani yogurt is made from all natural ingredients it contains no preservatives or artificial flavors. That means it is made with real fruit instead of just fruit flavor! The yogurt includes 5 live and active cultures, 3 of which are probiotics. Chobani yogurt is gelatin free, it also does not contain any other animal-based thickeners. 

Each year Chobani donates 10% if their profits to a variety of causes locally and worldwide. They call this program the Shepherd's Gift Foundation. Most people think of a shepherd as someone who herds sheep, however in Mediterranean culture, shepherds are known for their generosity. They would give gifts to the less fortunate without asking for anything in return. When all shepherd join together it can make a real difference in the world!

Chobani recently offered to send some free yogurt in exchange for an honest review. I am super excited about this opportunity because they are a local company who truly give back to the community. You can spot their trucks at many large local events and fundraisers. I think that it is great that this local business went from just a small company, to now having their products sold world wide! 

I received 5 different flavors of Chobani Champions Tubes, their yogurt that comes in a convenient tube case, and a variety of their Flips flavors. 

---

 Chobani Flip

I receive a large variety of the Flip flavors to try. Many of the Flip's contain a familiar flavor with a fun twist. These are great for people who have a couple minutes to enjoy a yummy cup of yogurt. 

---

Key Lime Crumble:

Key Lime Crumble is my absolute favorite flavor, and that seems to be the case for everyone I have talked to about this flavor. It is absolutely amazing. I'm even willing to say that I would eat this over a Key lime pie ANY DAY! Words can not express how good these were! The yogurt is Key Lime flavored and the crumble is made from graham crackers and white chocolate chip chunks.  This flavor is 170 calories and has 11 grams of protein. I wish I could send this flavor to every one in the world, it is so good!

Ingredients:

Lowfat Yogurt (Cultured Pasteurized Nonfat Milk, Cream, Live and Active Cultures: S. Thermophilus, L. Bulgaricus, L. Acidophilus, Bifidus and L. Casei), Evaporated Cane Juice, Wheat Flour, Sugar, Brown Sugar, Soybean Oil, Key Lime Puree, Cocoa Butter, Whole Wheat Flour, Key Lime Juice Concentrate, Milk, Key Lime Peel, Honey, Nonfat Dry Milk, Natural Flavors, Salt, Cinnamon, Fruit Juice Concentrate (For Color), Turmeric (For Color).

---

Vanilla Golden Crunch:

Vanilla Golden Crunch is another great flavor that I was able to get a photo of. The Vanilla Golden Crunch Flip makes a great addition to your breakfast. It is light and simple. My boyfriend is a huge fan of Vanilla yogurt so I let him eat this one after trying it. We both really liked it. The yogurt is Vanilla flavored and it comes with some type of "corn flake" cereal. It added a pretty cool crunch to an otherwise creamy treat. This flavor comes in at 150 calories and 12 grams of protein. 

Ingredients

Nonfat Yogurt (Cultured Pasteurized Nonfat Milk, Live and Active Cultures: S. Thermophilus, L. Bulgaricus, L. Acidophilus, Bifidus and L. Casei), Oats, Evaporated Cane Juice, Milled Corn, Wildflower Honey, Sugar, Canola Oil, Pecans, Salt, Barley Malt, Vanilla Extract, Locust Bean Gum, Butter.

---

Honey Bee Nana

The last flavor that I was able to get a photo of was Honey Bee Nana. The yogurt is honey flavored and the "flip" part is made from bananas. This flavor was pretty interesting. I don't think I would buy it every time I got yogurt, but I would get it once in a while. I think a great alternative to this would be a banana yogurt with a peanut butter syrup in the flip compartment. This Flip is 150 calories and has 12 grams of protein. 

Ingredients

Lowfat Yogurt (Cultured Pasteurized Nonfat Milk, Cream, Live and Active Cultures: S. Thermophilus, L. Bulgaricus, L. Acidophilus, Bifidus and L. Casei), Bananas, Evaporated Cane Juice, Clover Honey, Pectin, Locust Bean Gum, Natural Flavors, Turmeric (For Color).

Flavors not photographed:

Blueberry Power: 

I love blueberry yogurt. This flavor is pretty good (then again, most of them are!). The Flip compartment for this flavor contains Chia Seeds, Hemp Seeds, and Walnuts. I recently read that they will be removing the hemp seeds due to some Air Force regulation. I think the seeds and nuts in this give it a unique flavor. I would (and plan on) buying this in the future. This has 190 calories and 13g of protein. 

Ingredients

Nonfat Yogurt (Cultured Pasteurized Nonfat Milk, Live and Active Cultures: S. Thermophilus, L. Bulgaricus, L. Acidophilus, Bifidus and L. Casei), Blueberries, Walnuts, Evaporated Cane Juice, Hulled Hemp Seeds, Whole Chia Seeds, Pectin, Locust Bean Gum, Natural Flavors.

Strawberry Sunrise:

Strawberry Sunrise was great! It is another one of my favorites. The yogurt is strawberry flavored, and the flips compartment contains Honey Oats. This flavor has 160 calories and 11 grams of protein. 

Ingredients

Nonfat Yogurt (Cultured Pasteurized Nonfat Milk, Live and Active Cultures: S. Thermophilus, L. Bulgaricus, L. Acidophilus, Bifidus and L. Casei), Oats, Strawberries, Evaporated Cane Juice, Wildflower Honey, Canola Oil, Pectin, Locust Bean Gum, Natural Flavors, Fruit and Vegetable Juice Concentrate (For Color).

Raspberry Choco Fix:

I found Raspberry Chco to be both good and bad. I love raspberry and I hate chocolate candy. The yogurt was vanilla with chocolate chunks and the flip part was a raspberry sauce. This product would have been amazing if it had raspberry yogurt with chocolate chunks in the flip part. I gave this one to my boyfriend, who will eat just about anything. This has 150 calories and 10 grams of protein. 

Ingredients

Lowfat Yogurt (Cultured Pasteurized Nonfat Milk, Cream, Live and Active Cultures: S. Thermophilus, L. Bulgaricus, L. Acidophilus, Bifidus and L. Casei), Raspberries, Evaporated Cane Juice, Chocolate Splits (Chocolate, Cocoa Butter, Sugar), Natural Flavors, Pectin, Locust Bean Gum, Fruit and Vegetable Juice Concentrate (For Color).

I have not yet eaten the rest of the flavors, so I can not comment on the tastes of them. For more information on flavors and ingredients please visit their product page.

Chobani Champions Tubes 

Chobani Champions Tubes are great for people who love yogurt but may not have a minute to sit down and enjoy it! They are made for kids, but also are great for adults. My boyfriend and I don't have kids, so we ate them all up ourselves!The yogurt comes in a convenient tube that you can bring with you. No spoon is required to eat it! If you can eat a popsicle, you can eat a Chobani Tube! They can be eaten out of the freezer, or frozen then put into a lunch pale to thaw out by lunch time. I personally love them frozen! It's like ice cream, but better! The tubes themselves have these cute little puzzles on them. Each tube has a different one. See if you can solve the ones below! 

---

Rockin' Blueberry

Rockin' Blueberry was great flavor! I really like it frozen, but for the sake of the review I chose to take a photo of one that I did not freeze. This flavor is really good either way. Rockin' Blueberry has 70 calories and 5 grams of protein. 

Ingredients:

Cultured Pasteurized Nonfat Milk, Cream, Evaporated Cane Juice, Blueberries, Pectin, Natural Flavors, Locust Bean Gum, Fruit and Vegetable Juice Concentrate (For Color), Vitamin D3. Contains Live and Active Cultures: S. Thermophilus, L. Bulgaricus, L. Acidophilus, Bifidus and L. Casei.

---

Swirlin' Strawberry Banana

Swirlin' Strawberry Banana is another flavor that is pretty versatile  I used a tube from this flavor to make a smoothie! The flavor is also really good on its own. To make a smoothie I used some frozen fruit that I had in the freezer, one tube of Swirlin' Strawberry Banana yogurt, a splash of milk, and a cup or two of water. I didn't really measure anything, I kind of just threw a little of this and that and hoped for the best. It came out amazing! It was really flavorful, you could taste subtle hint of banana. The Swirlin' Strawberry Banana flavor has 70 calories and has 5 grams of protein. 

---

I don't have any photos of the rest, but you get the idea. I think my favorite flavor out of all of the tubes was the Flyin' Dragon Fruit flavor. It was also my boyfriend's favorite flavor. All of the tubes are 70 calories and has 5 grams of protein. 

Overall I am very pleased with the Chobani products that I received. Each flip or tube is made with quality ingredients that you can feel good about eating. They have a huge variety of products, there is a little something for everyone! I recommend Chobani Yogurt to anyone looking for a great tasting yogurt by a company who cares about the consumer.

Annie's Homegrown: Organic Fruit Snacks Review

 (Click on the logo to be directed to Annie's website)

 Annie's Homegrown stands for goodness and their goal is to make foods with simple, real ingredients. The ingredients used to create these products come from natural and organic farms. They can guarantee their products contain no preservatives, no artificial colors, and no artificial flavors which is growing popular among food choices out there. Annie's all in all, is a company that cares about you and cares about the environment. They have been added to the Non-GMO Project's Verified list and are totally against foods containing GMO's! They are also big on renewable energy and recycling to keep the planet going!

 

 

I have been familiar with the Annie's brand pastas for quite sometime now and I'm a big fan. I decided to try the Organic Fruit Snacks for my family and I. These fruit snacks are not like other fruit snacks you find in the stores, they have a different texture than I've ever tasted. 

 

The Sunny Citrus pieces were good but I'm more of a berry girl when it comes to fruit snacks. I liked these for my daughter though because she's a citrus lover. She seemed to like them a lot and they are not as chewy as other fruit snacks so they're easier for little kids to chew.

 INGREDIENTS: ORGANIC TAPIOCA SYRUP, ORGANIC CANE SUGAR, ORGANIC TAPIOCA SYRUP SOLIDS, ORGANIC WHITE GRAPE JUICE CONCENTRATE, PECTIN, CITRIC ACID, ASCORBIC ACID (VITAMIN C), COLORS (ORGANIC TURMERIC, ORGANIC ANNATTO), NATURAL FLAVORS, SODIUM CITRATE, ORGANIC SUNFLOWER OIL, CARNAUBA WAX

 

The Berry Patch pieces were delicious and tasted like berries. I liked this flavor a lot since the berry flavored fruit snacks are generally my favorite. The Berry Patch are made with real fruit juice and you can actually taste the cherry and raspberries.

INGREDIENTS: ORGANIC TAPIOCA SYRUP, ORGANIC CANE SUGAR, ORGANIC TAPIOCA SYRUP SOLIDS, ORGANIC WHITE GRAPE JUICE CONCENTRATE, PECTIN, CITRIC ACID, ASCORBIC ACID (VITAMIN C), COLOR (ORGANIC BLACK CARROT), NATURAL FLAVORS, SODIUM CITRATE, ORGANIC SUNFLOWER OIL, CARNAUBA WAX

 

 

The Tropical Treat pieces tasted a lot like the Sunny Citrus flavors with the added mango and peach. The fruit snacks contain the daily value of Vitamin C and kids will love them. Great to pair a piece of fruit or cup of yogurt as an afternoon snack.

INGREDIENTS: ORGANIC TAPIOCA SYRUP, ORGANIC CANE SUGAR, ORGANIC TAPIOCA SYRUP SOLIDS, ORGANIC WHITE GRAPE JUICE CONCENTRATE, PECTIN, CITRIC ACID, ASCORBIC ACID (VITAMIN C), COLORS (ORGANIC TURMERIC, ORGANIC BLACK CARROT, ORGANIC ANNATTO), NATURAL FLAVORS, SODIUM CITRATE, ORGANIC SUNFLOWER OIL, CARNAUBA WAX

The Summer Strawberry pieces were very flavorful and sweet, by far my favorite. You can really taste the real fruit flavors in these snacks. I think everyone and anyone would enjoy this flavor fruit snack. Perfect thing to pack along with your child's lunch!                              

INGREDIENTS: ORGANIC TAPIOCA SYRUP, ORGANIC CANE SUGAR, ORGANIC TAPIOCA SYRUP SOLIDS, ORGANIC WHITE GRAPE JUICE CONCENTRATE, PECTIN, CITRIC ACID, ASCORBIC ACID (VITAMIN C), COLOR (ORGANIC BLACK CARROT), NATURAL FLAVORS, SODIUM CITRATE, ORGANIC SUNFLOWER OIL, CARNAUBA WAX

 

The variety pack was a great choice as it contains flavors that the whole family can enjoy. I would recommend these organic fruit snacks to anyone and as an alternative to any other fruit snack on the market.

Lucy's: Gluten Free Cookies Review

(Click on the logo to be directed to Dr. Lucy's website)

 

I have been really excited for this review since I purchased these cookies. Dr. Lucy is a woman and mother who had found out her child had severe food allergies. And what mother could keep cookies from their child forever? Dr. Lucy was determined to formulate a cookie (and other desserts) that everyone and anyone with or without medical dietary constrictions could enjoy. I was ecstatic when I came across these cookies because of the great simplicity in making them. These cookies are gluten-free (HOORAY! a yummy gluten-free treat because we all know not all gluten-free stuff is tasty). They are very tasty and made without milk, eggs, peanuts, or any tree nuts! Dr. Lucy's guarantees these cookies made at a dedicated bakery that caters to protecting customers from the allergens they strive to avoid.

I was very lucky to find these cookies in a 3-flavor variety 12 pack, which means I get to share some with a couple lucky readers once I complete my third and final review of my three healthy snack reviews! The three flavors that came in the box were Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Cookie, and Maple Bliss. Each Snack n' Go Pack contains three cookies which is also the actual serving size for these crunchy treats.

First, let's take a look at our classic cookie flavor, Lucy's Gluten Free Chocolate Chip. For a gluten-free snack these were much more pleasant than I expected. I'm not even a big fan of chocolate chip cookies and I loved these. They tasted just like a crunchy chocolate chip cookie. So for my gluten-free chocolate chip cookie loving people, you no longer have to feel deprived of tasty treats!

INGREDIENTS: Dr. Lucy's Flour Blend (Gluten-Free Oat, Garbanzo, Potato Starch, Tapioca, Sorghum And Fava Flours), Organic Cane Sugar*,Vegan Chocolate Chips, Gluten-Free Oat Flakes, Soy Milk*, Brown Sugar*, Palm Fruit Oil, Canola Oil, Olive Oil, Filtered Water, Flavoring And Citric Acid From Non-GMO Corn, Crushed Soy Beans*, Sunflower Lecithin, Nondairy Lactic Acid, Beta-Carotene, Baking Powder, Baking Soda, Vanilla Extract*, Salt, Xanthan Gum, Calcium Carbonate, Annatto Extract Color, Cellulose Gum.

Lucy's Gluten Free Chocolate was scrumptious. It was just the right amount of crumbly and could cure any chocolate fix. I really liked this cookie even though I'm a fan of soft, chewy versus crunchy, crumbly. I would recommend the chocolate cookies to my gluten free chocolate lovers, you will feel spoiled.

INGREDIENTS: Dr. Lucy's Flour Blend (Gluten-Free Oat Flour, Garbanzo Flour, Potato Starch, Tapioca, Sorghum And Fava Flours), Organic Cane Sugar*,Soy Milk*, Molasses*, Cocoa, Palm Oil, Canola Oil, Olive Oil, Filtered Water Flavoring And Citric Acid From Non-GMO, Crushed Soy Beans*, Sunflower Lecithin, Non-Dairy Lactic Acid, Beta-Carotene, Baking Powder, Sodium Bicarbonate, Vanilla Extract*, Xanthan Gum, Salt, Calcium Carbonate, Annatto, Cellulose Gum.

Last, but of course not least (since they happened to be my favorite of the three), we have Lucy's Gluten Free Maple Bliss. These were so delicious, the flavor of maple melted on your tongue when you took a bite into one of these crunchy cookies! I'm from New York, and we are a reputable state when it comes to real Maple Syrup. These cookies reminded me of being home in the fall. A gluten-free maple flavored treat is something I'd recommend to any stranger, friend, or acquaintance.  



INGREDIENTS: Dr. Lucy's Flour Blend (Gluten-Free Oat Flour, Garbanzo Flour, Potato Starch, Tapioca, Sorghum And Fava Flours), Organic Cane Sugar*,Gluten-Free Oat Flakes, Soy Milk*, Molasses*, Palm Oil, Canola Oil, Olive Oil, Filtered Water, Citric Acid And Flavoring From Non-GMO Corn, Crushed Soy Beans*, Sunflower Lecithin, Non-Dairy Lactic Acid, Beta-Carotene, Baking Powder, Sodium Bicarbonate, Vanilla Extract*, Salt, Xanthan Gum, Calcium Carbonate, Annatto, Maple Syrup*, Cellulose Gum. 

Have you made up your mind yet? Are you ready to run out, find, and eat these palatable, healthy snacks? I know that I cannot wait to get more. These are the healthiest store-bought cookies you're probably going to find from here to Jupiter. Not only are they essentially allergen free, but they are also vegan, gluten-free, and non-GMO verified! Their ingredients come solely from natural sources and they taste like heaven so indulge yourself. The convenient snack n' go packs would be the perfect treat to give out to trick-or-treaters this Halloween! They are great for lunches or an after school snack and the goodness doesn't stop at these three flavors, they also come in many more flavors as pictured below.

 

 Watch for my third and final healthy snack review to find out how to win my healthy snack package containing treats from all three reviews! 2 winners will receive one of the flavors I've reviewed along with 5 other healthy snacks from these reviews!

Hansen's: Natural Cane Soda Review

(Click on the logo to be directed to the Hansen's website)

Hansen's is a family company and has been around since as early as the 1930s. It started in Southern California with a father and his three sons squeezing fresh juice to sell to the locals. The great thing about Hansen's beverages is that they have always been free of preservatives, caffeine, sodium, artificial flavors, and artificial colors. They are completely natural and the Hansen's are presenting sodas you could actually say are healthy to drink. Soda? Healthy? Who ever thought they would hear those two words in the same sentence? In 2008, they decided to make an evener greater stride towards health in the switch from high fructose corn syrup to real cane sugar. If you're going to drink soda or let your kids drink soda, this would be the best choice. You and your kids can enjoy a sweet, carbonated drink that's not going to be detrimental to your long-term health.

First off, I want to let all of you know that I am not a regular soda drinker. I've steered clear of sodas, other than the occasional sip or two, for about the past 10 years or more. One day, I just decided that I did not want to put that unhealthy of a beverage through my system any longer. A main reason I still don't drink soda is because the carbonation usually upsets my stomach. However, anytime I see a soda that's a healthier alternative to your big name brands (such as Coke and Pepsi), I jump on it because my boyfriend is a soda drinker and I'm always looking for healthier alternatives for my family. When I saw Hansen's though, something in me thought that maybe this would be the occasional sweet, carbonated drink I could treat myself to and actually enjoy. I believe I was right. As I stated before, these sodas are lacking the unhealthy ingredients/contents that almost all sodas contain. They are made with NO preservatives, NO caffeine, NO sodium, and NO artificial flavors or colors. They also are free of high fructose corn syrup which you can find in almost any food/drink item being sold here in America. 

 

 The 4 flavors I am going to review are pictured to the left. Cherry Vanilla Creme, Mandarin Lime, Kiwi-Strawberry, and Creamy Root Beer. I was happy to find that the carbonation from the soda did not upset my stomach as it usually does which makes me wonder if maybe it's those other harmful ingredients that cause stomach upset when I happen to consume soda.

Creamy Root Beer

 

 I personally do not like root beer so I left it up to my boyfriend to review the Creamy Root Beer flavor. He is a big fan of food and beverages NOT containing high fructose corn syrup, as am I. As far as the flavor goes he said that it was sweeter than other root beers, almost too sweet, which is probably because of the real cane sugar used to make it. He also said that it was a very smooth root beer. He would recommend it to those who like root beer.

Cherry Vanilla Creme, Mandarin Lime, Kiwi Strawberry

 

The Cherry Vanilla Creme was my favorite out of the three flavors I reviewed. It was unusually sweet for soda but in a very good way, it was a treat. It tasted like dessert in a can. I definitely think the natural cane sugar has is a large contributor to the tastefulness of these sodas. I would recommend this flavor to people who like cream soda and other sweet flavored sodas. 

The Mandarin Lime was a really interesting flavor that I didn't think I was going to like but turns out I liked it a lot. You could taste both the mandarin and the lime really well and the two mixed together to create a great flavor. This flavor wasn't as sweet at the others but still very refreshing. I would recommend it to those who like tropical flavored sodas.

 

The Kiwi Strawberry, unfortunately, wasn't as delicious as I expected it to be but it was still enjoyable. You could taste the strawberry but it was very subtle and I was disappointed to find that I couldn't taste the kiwi at all. Either way, I liked this flavor too and would recommend it to anyone. All three flavors would be refreshing on any hot summer day.

Although there wasn't much to be said about these sodas, the reason I chose to review them was for their properties. The big one being that they do not contain high fructose corn syrup which is playing a big factor in the health of Americans. It's hard to pick up anything at the grocery store that doesn't have high fructose corn syrup in it and it shouldn't be that way. We should have a choice, more healthy food items/beverages need to be available to us to choose from in the grocery store. Another reason I chose the Hansen's Natural Cane Sodas is because they are all natural, another thing that's hard to come by in your local grocery stores. It is also very important that they contain none of the harmful additives like preservatives, caffeine, sodium, artificial flavors, and artificial colors. Overall, I would recommend these to anyone as an alternative to any other brand or type of soda. If you must drink soda, then this is what you should be drinking, as the other sodas are very unhealthy and could cause you a lot of trouble with your health down the road.

This is my first review of three that will be part of my next giveaway containing items from all three reviews, so keep track of the next review, and the one that follows to find out what you can win and how to win it!
