Snacking Choices

March 11, 2020

One of my 2020 goals is to stop snacking. Initially, I had intended to stop snacking altogether, because I tend to choose the least healthy snacks. I have since accepted that I will snack, but that I will do a better job of choosing snacks that are good for me.

I recently saw a commercial in which a devil-like character tries to entice the snackers in the commercial with unhealthy snack choices like donuts, sugary cereals, and chips. In the commercial, the snackers are not phased by his antics and they each continue to enjoy their "Chobani Flips Greek Yogurt".

You're probably thinking, "Okay, where is this going?", or maybe you already see exactly where this is headed.

Because this commercial reminded me of my own struggles with poor snack temptation, I decided I must try this yogurt...and I did. I bought eight different flavors - s'mores, peanut butter crunch, and hazelnut, to name a few.

When I say these yogurts are delicious, I mean they are so very d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s! There is just the right amount of Greek yogurt and the sweet, crunchy goodness that gets "flipped" in. It is so satisfying, that I almost think it's wrong. The sugar content is higher than I'd like, but they are still a healthier choice than my usual selections. For now, I will enjoy the ones I have. I may even decide to buy more. That is, unless I decide to try something else that catches my eye.
