This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Kerrie M. Congrats!
I’m a chocoholic. It’s rare that I can go a day without eating chocolate in some form (which is why I keep a stash of chocolate chips in the fridge at all times). If you can believe it, there is a healthy, guilt-free way to indulge in chocolate (and caramel) with Oikos‘ new Pure Pleasure Organic Greek Yogurts.
I prefer the smooth, creamy texture of Greek yogurt and have actually had the real thing on a Grecian island years ago. Oikos‘ creamy texture is attained via an old-world straining method that removes the whey from the yogurt. What stumps me is how the company can achieve such richness without any fat.
I enjoy yogurt because it’s tasty, filling, and packed with live, active cultures. Up until recently, I had never tried chocolate yogurt (in fact, I didn’t even know it existed). I was expecting it to be more like dessert. And while it could definitely be eaten for dessert, I was quite content eating it for breakfast and snacks.
I always look at the sugar content of flavored yogurts, because, very often, they’re higher than I would prefer. I was surprised to learn that their Pure Pleasure Organic Greek Yogurts contain 110 calories and 16 grams of sugar (about 5 grams less than conventional flavored yogurts).
I prefer the Chocolate over the Caramel, but I prefer chocolate over other flavors whenever given the option. You can find Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt at supermarkets and natural food stores nationwide.
Win It! One of you will win a chocolate-themed indulgence giveaway package which includes the following:
- 1 coupon for a free Green & Black Organic Chocolate Bar
- 1 sample of Numi Organic Chocolate tea
- 1 Dagoba/Eco Lips Organic Chocolate chapstick
- 1 Skinnyskinny real cocoa organic soap bar
- 2 free coupons for Chocolate and Caramel Oikos multipacks
- Recipe card set featuring Chocolate Cheesecake, as well Oikos spatula

I watched the Dr. Sears “Yogurt as a first food” video and learned that Dr. Sears recommends yogurt to babies over 6 months of age as a transition food. He particulary recommends organic yogurt because babies have more body fat, and chemicals in nonorganic food are stored in fat. Also babies’ growing cells can be adversely affected by chemicals in nonorganic foods.

I learned that yogurt is an easy transition food for babies because the consistency is similar to mom’s milk or formula. Also, if a child likes the food, they will eat it.
Thanks!

the fact that overuse of antibiotics in dairy herds is one of the chief reasons that bacteria are becoming antibiotic resistent is very startling indeed.

I learned that children take in 80% of he pesticides they will ingest by the age of 5 . It is like medication dosing based on body weight. Small body smaller dosing but with pesticides it is 1 size for all.
An organic farm in Sugar Hill, New Hampshire, doesn’t exactly fit with his bad-boy image. Nor does Bode’s Turtle Ridge Foundation, which is headquartered on the farm, and supports, among other things, adaptive skiing programs, winter clothing programs for needy families, cancer research, and environmental education
