In the midst of summer, with the scorching heat, sometime you just need a cool treat. However, both ice-cream and fro-yo are looking bleak. Yes, that can happen sometimes. This is where I come in with five ways to make Chobani Café's yogurt creations at home.
For those who don't know much about Chobani Café, the renowned yogurt company, Chobani, opened its own café in New York and Texas. These cafés serve both sweet and savory yogurt creations. But what really sets it apart from packaged yogurts or the fro-yo craze is that these yogurts are fresh, healthy and prepared using only natural ingredients and sweeteners. Thus, when you are in need of a healthy dose of dessert or a crunchy snack, you can turn to these recipes.
