Well, today I am declaring my preference for 2 percent… yogurt.
2 Percent Chobani
I love the 0 percent Chobani, but it wasn’t until I tried a sample of the 2 percent variety of the yogurt a little more than a month ago, that I realized there was something even creamier out there.
Unfortunately my grocery store has not offered the 2 percent Chobani until NOW! I was so excited when I saw it in the refrigerated section over the weekend and I nabbed several containers.
This morning I used one of the cups as the base for an apple pecan yogurt bowl.
My mix-ins included honey, a packet of Brothers-All-Natural apple crisps and Fresh Gourmet honey roasted pecan pieces.
The Mix-Ins
Breakfast is Served
The honey roasted pecans stole the show!
Time to Eat!
This breakfast was the perfect cool treat after my morning run with Sadie.
I haven’t gone on a morning run since January 2nd and it felt great to pound out five miles with my favorite running buddy. (To see my post on running with a dog, click here.)
Stats
Truth be told, I wanted to sleep in until 7 a.m., so in order to have time to workout and get Sadie some exercise, I had to combine the two. It worked perfectly and Sadie and I enjoyed trucking along for slightly less than 50 minutes.
Off to work, my friends!

I 100% agree! Two percent is soooooo much better. It’s doesn’t really have more calories/fat so in my opinion those few extra cals are totallllllllllly worth it 😉
What are the nutrition values of the 2% Chobani? This sounds intriguing!! I wonder if you will stay fuller for longer…
I quit drinking milk a long time ago after watching a show about. (I’ll spare you guys the details lol) As if that wasn’t bad enough I found a cow’s hair not too long after. That was it for me…lol. Now I drink almond milk which I love. 🙂
I can’t find greek yogurt annnnywhere where I live. 🙁 I see it all over blogs and it makes me sad I can’t try it!
I took our pups out for a run last night for the first time, and it was certainly an adventure. Our one (Loky) is just like Sadie, he just wants to play all the time.
I used to LOVE the 2%…so much better than the 0%!! It’s one of the only things I miss about not being a vegan!
I wish I could run with my dog! He’s so small though and can’t keep up! 😛
I am not a big milk fan myself. I could never drink an entire glass of milk. Ick! Plus, I’m lactose intolerant. So I enjoy my cereal with either soymilk or lactaid milk. 🙂 Love your yogurt mix-ins! Yum!
I was never a milk drinker either but love yogurt! I got to try that 2% now…sounds really good.
I have never been a milk drinker–almond milk all the way! I need to try the 2-percent Chobani though! 🙂
i have not tried the 2%.. yet so many people say its SIGNIFICANTLY better.. i mean…. 0% is pretty darn thick!! so i cant believe 2% could be even more!
You’re lucky you don’t have to run with gloves on! I am so jealous of your weather!
I always go for the 2% variety. Just figured it would be better!
I love running with my dog! 🙂 She loves it too!
I’m a 0% type of girl, but I am wiling to try 2%, especially if it is more creamy. 🙂
I’m not a big milk fan (though my parents forced us to drink it growing up). And I still like 0% Greek yogurt. I guess I’m not picky when it comes to my dairy because I can’t tell the difference between full-fat and low-fat cheese or sour cream, either.
My grocery store has been out of Greek yogurt all week, and I find this has been happening a lot lately! My snacks have been so ho-hum without it 🙁 In Canada we only have one kind to choose from, so it’s slim pickin’s in the Greek yog department.
Not a milk fan AT all! Almond milk all the way for this girl. I’m not gonna lie, I just was at the store this morning and picked up those apple crisps and somehow they didn’t make it into my cart! They look like a great addition to your yogurt mess though!
If I had a dog, I would love to run with her!
I used to drink milk all the time, but then I just got tired of it. However, I do love 2% yogurt! So delicious 🙂
I eat Greek yogurt a lot but have never tried Chobani (I do my grocery shopping at Trader Joe’s). This will change soon though because Chobani just sent me a lot of coupons, so I can finally see what all the excitement is about. I’ll have to try the 2% also!
I LOVE 2 % yogurt, it IS that much creamier! 🙂 Pecans sound delish in yogurt, yum!
That yogurt bowl looks delish!!!
Glad you got a good run in with sadie! =D
I agree, 2% GY is even better than the fat free stuff! It tastes almost decadent 🙂
I love more fat in dairy products. I used to be afraid of it, but it’s so much better when the fat percentage is higher!
I had an Athenos Greek Yogurt a few weeks ago that was sooo good. It had the fruit in a separate little compartment so you could add in just the amound you wanted. Yum! I usually go for whatever Greek yogurt is on sale 🙂
My looord I am so like you in so many ways! I also am not too much of a milk drinker. But boy oh BOY can I down a tub of yogurt (both normal and of the greek variety… I don’t discriminate).
This may totally be TMI and gross info since some ppl can’t staaaand dairy, but since i’ve been marathon training my appetite has skyrocketed and in addition to the enormous amount of carbs I’ve been consuming as a result, I’ve also been eating a TON more dairy! (And it’s only b.c. I’m craving it… i’m not forcing it down or anything, ha!) I can seriusly go through 2.5 tubs of yogurt/greek yogurt in a week. Ugh, that’s sounds so sick, but really… my body is craving it! That…and green monsters, too. I’m like an endless pit. LOL!
Looks like I need to try the 2% variety. I usually eat fat free yogurt and milk but LOW Fat in cheeses & sour cream.
I SOOO wish I lived where you do because we’re expected to get an ENORMOUS snow storm tonight! I am actually very inexperienced when it comes to 2% yogurt as I usually just buy 0%, but maybe I should try it out!
I’m so jealous of the easiness of a morning workout for you.
I have to be at work at 8 a.m. (I live 20 minutes away), my gym is 15 minutes away, and I would probably need to get up at 4 a.m. to be able to get a good workout in, shower, give my pup some attention, and get to work ontime!
I know you said your gym is right across the street, but do you live super close to work, too?
I’ve never been a milk person either.I remember going to my grandparents’ house and them giving me milk with meals, and just thinking it tasted so weird! I’m not really a big dairy person in general, but when I do eat it’s nearly always in the form of ice cream, cheese pizza or buttercream frosting…none of which are made with skim milk, so I totally agree on 2% being better 🙂
my ex-boyfriend would order milk at restaurants! he’d even drink it with pizza!
mmm i love yogurt but also milk too- though i am into skim milk like woah. no 2% here! i wish i could have ran this AM- we have 1/4″ of ice in central indiana!
I’ve never seen that yogurt before- interesting!
I love that you count ice cream as one of your calcium sources! I am obsessed with chobani and recently made the switch to 2 percent. Totally worth it and so very, very delicious!
I’ve accidentally bought full fat yogurt a few times and holy cow, was it good.
When I was younger I was obsessed with drinking milk and i didn’t understand how everyone else wasn’t too! I drank at least a litre of full fat milk a day. Obviously this caught up on me and my booty when I was in my teens 🙂 so I switched to half fat. Last year I changed to 0% and I’ll never go back to either of the above – I can’t handle how thick and creamy they are.
This is very interesting! I think I’ll have to try one. I always hated greek yogurt because it was so bitter but needed some quick breakfast ideas for work, so I tried the fat free Chobani. I found it’s pretty darn good with a little bit of honey in it, or I soak oats and nuts in it the night before (yum). Now I will have to branch out and see what 2% is like!
2% is incredible! I’m with you on that one.
Good to know! I might have to try that, I actually love the 0% and worry 2% will be too creamy for me…we shall see!

I dont ever drink milk but I could never give up yogurt! They don’t have the 2% chobani where I live either… I used to be able to get it in Baltimore but thats too far of a drive these days!
I cant wait til winter is over so I can run outside again!
I am a 2% gal here. Everyone needs alittttle bit of fat…the 2% is perfect for that. 😉
Too funny – my friend and I were talking about how excited we were to see both Vanilla and 2% Chobani at Publix this week. Publixes all over Orlando must have gotten a huge/new shipment!
I prefer the 2% for yogurt…much more fulfilling.
2% tastes so creamy! And those nuts sound so good on the yogurt!
Love the 2% Chobani, it’s so much creamier!
I was on the exact same page as you with the 0% Chobani until I tried the 2% FAGE. It is SIGNIFICANTLY creamier.. an entirely different yogurt. I still buy the 0% Chobani or FAGE however because my grocery store only offers the larger tubs in the fat free 🙁
Luckily the cafe at my university sells the 2% fage with the honey (and blueberry and strawberry) attached side compartment! So yummy!
I used to be a big fan of Chobani…not to say that I am not any more, but I do prefer Fage over Chobani. I find that it is much creamier and tastier than Chobani.
I am not a milk drinker either. My mom used to make me drink a small glass of milk at dinner every night, and I dreaded it! I used to beg to put chocolate quick in it…sometimes she would give in. So now I get my calcium from yogurt, cheese and icecream too!
2% is SO much better and a lot better for you! I just realized when I made the switch that the 2% may have a few more grams of fat but has way fewer calories and carbs! So great!
I can’t buy Chobani where I live….but I am all about the full fat yogurt! Lately, I have been buying Liberte 10%. It is heaven!
I was a 0% only as far as Chobani greek yogurt was concerned. Until I tried the 2% pineapple then I tried the 2% strawberry banana. OMG it’s the best thing ever! I like the plain 0% with 2 splendas & a tablespoon natural pb.

2% is soo much better!!
When I was a kid I’d get “milk headaches” so I would only drink watered down skim. Then as a teen I discovered soy milk. Now in my 20’s I found out soy causes me to bloat so I stick with almond milk and I’ve felt best with it.
Also I read that dairy instead of being a good source of calcium actually causes your bones to leach calcium! So that’s another reason why I try to avoid milk.
