CHO-MG!

37

Look what showed up on my doorstep yesterday afternoon…

CHO-MG! A case of Greek yogurt from Chobani!

The case contained all my most-craved flavors, but I zeroed in on my #1 favorite for breakfast…

DSC_0003

Pineapple. Oh yeah, baby.

Topped with leftover mango (here’s how I easily cut my mangoes) from last night’s pizza, it tasted like a beach vacation in a cup. 8) Which is quite appealing since they’re telling us to expect 5-7 inches of snow in the next 2 days – noooooooo… 8O

I seriously, SERIOUSLY love this yogurt. It’s as thick as icing, and cold, smooth and creamy.

Plus, while it’s part of a light breakfast, there’s a cool 13g of protein in each cup. Really!

I paired it with an orange on the side. Looks like the deep freeze Florida experienced in the past month hasn’t affected prices too much (YET, anyways) because these babies were like $.60/lb at the store yesterday. :)

Full.

In other news, Ben and I are throwing caution to the wind and venturing out to go see a movie this afternoon. BLACK SWAN!

black-swan-movie-poster[1]

I asked you all on Facebook & Twitter what you thought of the movie, and the overwhelming reply was that it is “disturbing“. Eek, I wonder what that means? Guess we’ll find out soon enough! :D

Happy Sunday!

~~~~~

Have you seen Black Swan? What’d you think?

Do you have any favorite actors/actresses?

Favorite movie snack?

Mine are Amanda Seyfried, Uma Thurman, Robert Pattinson and Vince Vaughn..and Zach Efron. Yup. Ben’s are Kevin Spacey & Jessica Alba…

Favorite snack’s gotta be popcorn!

    I’m so jealous of the Chobani, I can’t get it here. I haven’t seen Black Swan yet. I want to though. I love Reese Witherspoon. I (usually) like Adam Sandler. Favorite snack is popcorn. Followed by Twizzlers.

    Hmmm I had the same surprise on my doorstep on Friday too, love it! Perfect end to the busy week if you ask me since Chobani is by far the best yogurt ever :) We saw Black Swan the other night, it was bizarre for sure, but also really good!

    about the Chobani – OMG! you lucky girl! :)

    My favorite actor is Ryan Gosling. He is just soooo adorable, ESPECIALLY in the Notebook. Sigh.

    I like popcorn a lot and I have to agree with Ben on the actors of choice!
    How in the world are you going to eat all that?
    ;-) I thought maybe they would send you coupons!

    I agree! The pineapple is seriously good.

    I love Steve Buscemi and Kevin McKidd.

    Favorite snack is Hot Tamales. Love those little suckers. I’m so intrigued by all the comments I keep hearing about Black Swan. The movie looks weird…and intriguing all at once.

    I liked the movie, I just wish I hadn’t been sitting with my mother when I saw it, haha!

    I loved Black Swan. It was beautifully done, and the intensity of it that some may considering disturbing made the movie what it is. Certainly different, but still well done all the same.

    I actually adore Natalie Portman, which is major reason why I enjoyed the movie so much. Also a big James Franco fan. And then there’s my soft spot for the English. Cate Blanchette, Kate Winslet, Keira Knightley, Colin Firth, Alan Rickman, Jason Isaacs, Robert Pattinson… well, you get the idea. :)

    I love Chobani yogurt (with fresh fruit), my favorite, go-to breakfast.

    I saw Black Swan this weekend too! And thought it was “insanely amazing” Enjoy!

    that case of yogurt is beautiful. no, seriously LOL.

    black swan was excellent. aronofsky gets a lot of attention, good and bad, but all of that irrelevant, it’s a really compelling story and the characters are interesting. i feel like they were all well cast–different from what i’d expect from mila kunis and how i associate her with comedy, in particular. acting aside, it’s visually crazy, too.

    (i love paul giamatti and chloe sevigny. i think they’re both really talented and versatile.)

    Just bought some Chobani today… who knew what we were all missing out on years ago before Greek yogurt was on the shelves of most grocery stores?

    No fave actors/actresses… just fave movie treats: HOT TAMALES!

    i went a saw black swan…twice. i loved it. its really intense, and has a disturbing tone about it. very psychological!
    i also love popcorn. and paydays. but cherry coke at the movies is where its at. (not this midwest cherry pepsi nonsense.)

    That yogurts tastes like candy. It’s definitely the best by far.

    We just saw Black Swan last night. Hmmmmm, it’s quite heavy but definitely worth seeing. I’m excited to see what you think.

    Wow. Lucky you to receive a box of Chobani. I first tried it 2 years ago when we went to NYC and I checked out Whole Foods for the first time ever. Sadly you can’t find it in any of the stores here where I live so I stock up when I head to the states. Mmmm.

    Fantastic! I just stocked up on my Chobani today…lugged from the store to my 3rd floor apartment, I wish it was at my doorstep! hehe! “The Black Swan” was absolutely wonderful…though I saw “True Grit” the day before and actually enjoyed it more. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Jeff Bridges. I also like Nicolas Cage and Brendan Gleeson and of course Emma Thompson has to be my favorite actress! <3

    Holy moses, I have only heard carazzzy things about that movie, but I still want to see it! Slash the trailer looked really disturbing, but yet again, I still want to see it…let us know how it was:)

    Have you tried the new AE greek yogurt yet? The little grocery store in my town doesn’t carry Chobani, so I tried the AE vanilla greek yogurt and liked it.

    I watched Black Swan yesterday, and it took me a day to digest it. But I’ve decided it was definitely worth seeing. Natalie Portman was amazing, and the storyline was riveting. Just didn’t like all the X rated stuff, but it was directed by a guy, so what do you expect :)

    Mmm! I haven’t eaten the pineapple from the pack they sent me yet…I think I’ll be stealing your idea and topping it with a mango!

    I haven’t seen Black Swan yet, but I’d like to (I have no idea if it’ll even come to my town, so I might be waiting for the video). My favorite actresses are Cate Blanchette & Kate Winslet. My favorite actors are Kevin Spacey & Philip Seymour Hoffman. And my favorite movie theater snack is popcorn, with EXTRA butter (I have been known to get up in the middle of a movie & ask for more) and salt!

    I don’t really have a “go-to” movie snack…but probably something crunchy & salty, like a homemade trail mix or pretzels. I would say popcorn, but after working at a movie theater for a couple of years (in the concession stand: “Would you like butter flavoring with your popcorn?” hehe), I can’t stand the smell!

    And I can’t believe I still haven’t tried the pineapple Chobani. They have Chobani yogurt at the store near my school, but can you believe they’re nowhere to be found near my home? Crazy talk!

    I just saw it today! Definitely strange but I liked it. I went to a place that has “Cinema Suites”, kind of like Billy Joe’s in that you can order food but they have these nice leather recliners. Very posh!!

    My go to snack is sour patch kids…love them. My fave actors are matt damon, kate winslet and sandra bullock. I kinda want to see black swan, but I am worried it will give my bad dreams.

    Ok so I have to ask, because I love your blog and respect your opinion. I LOVE pineapple Chobani, but I have a hard time buying it (or any flavored yogurt) because of the sugar content. It’s a bummer though because it makes such an easy breakfast when mixed with fruit or cereal. Thoughts? (just fyi – I am trying to lose weight, but have no reason not to have sugar in my diet)

      Oooo – GREAT question! I was super concerned about this when I started eating Chobani too – but a lot of the sugar is NATURALLY occurring sugar in the cow’s milk called lactose. I equate that to the naturally occurring sugar in fruit. Your call in the end, but that made me feel better about it!
