What’s the first thing that comes to mind to pair with granola? Yogurt? Yes! Here at The Granola Factory, we think we have a pretty good idea as to which are the best yogurts since we’re eating it with our granola on a daily basis…we’re also pretty tough critics.

All of us brought in our favorite yogurts to have the ultimate yogurt tasting. We planned on a blind taste test, where we’d individually score each yogurt on a scale of 0 to 5. It just so happened that the morning of the taste-test, the power in our building went out . Its lights-out setting was perfectly timed for a “blind” taste test.

We tested a total of 13 yogurts paired with our Original Bethlehem Inn granola and wanted to share our top 5 that you should keep a look out for in the grocery store.

5. Oui Vanilla

Coming in at number 5 is Oui vanilla yogurt by Yoplait. The team enjoyed this French style yogurt with only a few simple ingredients: Grade A Milk, Cane Sugar, Yogurt Cultures and Vanilla Extract. “It wasn’t too thick but was smooth and had a great flavor,” according to Casey, our production manager. Oui also comes in a small glass jar which gives a classy touch and elevates your breakfast experience.

4. Brown Cow Cream Top Vanilla

Brown Cow Cream Top yogurts are made reminiscent of how yogurts used to be made when the cream would rise to the top. Brown Cow yogurt is certainly creamy as it’s made with whole milk. Comments surrounding this yogurt included a lot of, “oh wow!"

3. Chobani Vanilla Yogurt

Perhaps the most well-known yogurt to our crew and consumers in general is Chobani. Chobani’s Vanilla Yogurt was our third favorite yogurt and here’s why: it’s simple and perfectly sweet. It allows the flavor of the granola to shine through, too! The team also loves this yogurt because of its high protein content of 15 grams per serving.

2. Wallaby Organic Vanilla Bean

Wallaby Vanilla Bean yogurt has been a favorite of mine for as long as I can remember. The packaging describes the yogurt as ‘ridiculously creamy and not too tart’ which is something we can’t say about many other Greek yogurts. Wallaby yogurt is inspired by Australian yogurts and is approved by the Granola Factory team!

Drumroll please…and the winner is….

1. Cabot Low-fat Vanilla Bean

Cabot Vanilla Bean yogurt is full of flavor and protein packed. Granola Factory co-owner, Calvin, eats this yogurt on a regular basis with our Toffee Almond clusters. “It’s creamy, has the right amount of vanilla and it’s not chalky-tasting like other Greek yogurts,” Calvin said.
