I was provided with samples of Olympus Authentic Greek Strained Yogurt to facilitate my review. No other compensation was provided, and all opinions expressed here are my own.
We eat a lot of yogurt in our house. With eight different sets of taste buds, as well as varying levels of nutritional needs, it can be a stretch to try to find a variety that will please everyone. Greek yogurt is a personal favorite of mine - it's thick, rich consistency and higher levels of protein mean that I will be less likely to be hungry within ten minutes of eating it. One of the problems with many brands of Greek Yogurt sold at the grocery is the high amounts of sugar - and this can be difficult to avoid. Not so with Olympus Authentic Greek Strained Yogurt, which is actually from Greece.
Olympus Dairy International, the largest organic dairy manufacturer in Greece and one of only five companies worldwide that produce Grade A all-natural yogurt, is importing their authentic strained Greek yogurt to the US. Olympus Greek Strained yogurts also contain a high amount of protein, is available in 0% and low fat options, and many people who have lactose sensitivities find Greek yogurt easier to digest, as it is naturally lower in lactose.
That's all very well and good - but how does it taste?
In a word - delicious. And unlike any other Greek yogurt that I've tried. I was provided with an assortment of flavors, many of which contained real fruit, as opposed to a sugary jelly mixture - and I can honestly say that I enjoyed every flavor I sampled. I was also sent a sample of Feta Cheese as well as Goat cheese, and both products crumpled nicely and had good flavor. My mother termed the Goat Cheese "absolutely delicious" and wondered if I'd find her a local grocery that carries it.
Olympus is committed to always providing an authentic Greek yogurt that gives you a true taste of Greek tradition with every bite. The rich velvety texture is proud to be all-natural, non-GMO and Kosher, offering Plain, Honey, Blueberry, Vanilla, Cherry, Peach, Strawberry and Lemon flavors.
My particular favorite was the Cherry, followed closely by the Vanilla. Would you like to try Olympus Authentic Strained Greek Yogurt for yourself? One lucky winner will be provided with coupons for free cups - to enter, please tell me the flavor you are most interested to try!
It's developed by always young LLC. I am wandering if it would result in a positive drug test (according to the NCAA) if you used it?. The only one I see is DHEA, but at such a small level of 30x /30c?.

I would probably like the cherry. Though I usually use the vanilla or honey flavored in my smoothies. That way the flavored yogurt doesn't overpow the flavors in the smoothie.

I would love to try the honey. I've always loved yogurt, and always gotten along nicely with lots of yogurts mixed with fruit. But I've been trying to expand my tastebuds a bit, and I've never had yogurt with honey. (That flavor begs to have granola added, I think.)

I've never seen this brand of yogurt, but it sounds good, particularly the strawberry!
