It’s been a long time since I’ve posted a rave on the blog. Then again it’s been a long time since I’ve found anything (food, kitchen gadget, or otherwise) that makes me go “wow!” This … this was one of those things.
A few weeks ago my friend Shannon recommended this yogurt to me. It was an offhand comment on my forum and the unique flavor combination sounded good at the time. I filed it in the back of my mind and, to be honest, kinda forgot about it.
Then, last night I was shopping at Harry’s and saw the yogurt she’d mentioned, so I bought it. I got home and thought I’d go ahead and try a bite while I was cooking dinner. Before I knew it, the container looked like this:
I haven’t tried any of the other flavors and I don’t know how good the plain is (and in my book, a good yogurt tastes as good plain as it does flavored), but wow this was yummy! It was sweet with hints of ginger – before a nice afterburn from the habanero set in. I could totally see eating this for an afternoon snack or even sticking it in the freezer for a delicious sweet/spicy dessert. Looking on their website, I also see that they have a Black Cherry & Port Wine flavor which I think would also make an awesome dessert flavor.
And at 150 calories and 15g protein, it’s pretty darned healthy as well.
So kudos to the folks at AtlantaFresh Artisan Creamery! Who knew that yogurty goodness like this could be found right here in my hometown. Now I’m anxious to try the rest of their products!
Besides, how can you not love a company that puts a photo like this on their website:

Glad you liked it!
The Black Cherry & Port Wine is fantastic, as is the Peach & Ginger. I believe that they are my favorites. I’ve also had the Vanilla Caramel, Vanilla, Honey and the Mixed Berry, all yummy. I haven’t had the plain, though. This is the first Greek yogurt my husband ever had, and he really enjoys it, too.
