Even if you think that you don't like yogurt, you need to give this brand a try. I'm not a dairy fan. Milk always tastes sour to me, yogurt generally has too much tang and tastes past it's prime no matter what brand or flavor I try, and you will never see me munching on cheese unless its on something like a burger or cheese fries.
When you first open the top, you notice the thick cream top that is hiding an equally thick, rich yogurt. My favorite flavor was the maple which is the one I used to photograph with a little extra maple syrup on top. The Greek version does pack the calories (about 200 for a 6oz), but they taste better than any other brand I've tried and it can be a healthy, filling dessert as a parfait compared to a bowl of sugar-filled ice cream.
Layers of blueberries, strawberries, Maple Cream Top Greek Yogurt, and topped off with a little extra maple syrup makes a delicious & rich dessert. |
Cream Top Greek Yogurt Parfait
Created by Rayna of Curious Country Cook
2 tbsp blueberries
3-4 small strawberries, chopped
a small drizzle of maple syrup (optional)
1. Layer about 1/3 of yogurt on the bottom of a small jar or bowl, add most of the blueberries and strawberries, and the rest of the yogurt.
2. Garnish with the last few berries and drizzle with a little pure maple syrup for extra maple flavor.

ReplyDeleteI eat yogurt for breakfast every day. Haven't tried this brand before though, but look forward to trying it!
ReplyDeleteDuring grad school I'd buy the big containers of Brown Cow cream top yogurt all the time and eat it with homemade granola. For a splurge, I'd get a cup of the Brown Cow maple variety. I didn't know they began making a Greek yogurt!
ReplyDelete"Liked" Brown Cow on FB as well!

Have tried the brand, but not the greek yogurt.
ReplyDeleteI have had their cream top coffee and maple flavor yogurt from Whole Foods. I died and went to heaven for them so I can't wait to try the new Greek Yogurt! http://gardentoewe.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteSo, who won the contest? Congratulations to the winner. :) Anyway, I love the yogurt’s presentation on those pictures. That's pretty lovely and very fruity. Why don't you try mixing all the fruits in a blender, and blend it until it has a syrup-like consistency? That would certainly release the fruits' tangy flavor that goes well with the creamy and mild flavor of the yogurt.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. i can't find it here (flordia), used to buy it and miss it. will look for it at whole food. an interesting thing. i have tried to make a cream-top yogurt, and have failed completely. do you know how to make that stuff? i thought maybe the milk had to be raw... tried with unpasteurized. didn't work.
