WHAT: Chobani Greek Yogurt seasonal flavors

STATS: Vary by flavor. A 5.3-ounce container of the Limited Batch Watermelon Blended Greek Yogurt, for example, contains 130 calories and 2.5 fat, 14 carbohydra­te, zero fiber, 12 sugar and 12 protein grams. Visit chobani.com for more informatio­n.

THE SKINNY: Watermelon yogurt?

It doesn’t sound all that appealing to those of us who don’t love real watermelon and/or overdosed on watermelon Bubbliciou­s gum and Jolly Ranchers in the 1980s.

But Chobani Greek Yogurt’s Limited Batch Watermelon Blended Greek Yogurt has a natural and subtle flavor. Same for the Limited Batch Kiwi Blended Greek Yogurt, which has a mellow fruitiness and only a few seeds.

For those of us who prefer our Greek yogurt a bit more more American (less thick and a hint sweeter without that sour tang), these low-fat Chobani flavors would make a fine light breakfast or snack on a hot summer day.

Other seasonal flavors included in our media sampler were the smooth Strawberry Summer Crisp Flip and puckery Key Lime Crumble Flip. These varieties come with a mix-in medley of graham crackers and white chocolate, and they come with more calories (180 to 200 per serving).
