heavenly yogurt, thy name is siggi’s

so… the other day, i was shopping at whole foods (a rare event as of late) and i browsed through their yogurt selection.  first, i saw stonyfield and other relatively usual yogurt brands.  then, i noticed that they carried rachel’s yogurt which i’d seen for the first time when we were in maui.  they have funky flavors like “relaxing” (plum honey & lavender).  they were a bit expensive ($1.25), but i thought i’d splurge.  then, i noticed the siggi’s yogurt (at an eye-popping $2.59 apiece!) and thought, “in the quest for the very best yogurt, i am absolutely obligated to try this at least once.” so i bought the above carton of “pomegranate & passion fruit” and tried it today with my lunch.  oh. my. goodness.  this is by far the thickest, yummiest yogurt i’ve ever tried.  note photo below:

i don’t think this yogurt would ever get that yucky pool of liquid that forms in most yogurt if you let it sit overnight–it’s already been strained.  it’s awesome.  just slightly sweet with a delicious yogurty tartness.  i’m also impressed by its simple list of ingredients–skim milk, agave nectar [for sweetness], passion fruit, pomegranate, live active cultures, vegetable rennet.  that’s it.  nothing i can’t pronounce.  no gelatin, no artificial sweetener, just goodness.  and it’s made with rbgh-free skim milk!  there is 0% fat!  and it’s so thick!  there are only 120 calories, but it’s the most filling yogurt i’ve ever eaten.  i….. may have to splurge again.

apparently, i’m not alone in this spontaneous urge to shower praise on siggi.
