It isn't even September 1, and we've already seen the introduction of Pumpkin Spice Peeps, Pecan Pie M&Ms and Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts on store shelves. Well, it's time to make way for three more fall-inspired foods, from the makers of all things Greek yogurt, Chobani.
This year marks the return of 2014's limited-edition flavor, Pumpkin Spice, as well as the introduction of two all-new flavors: Cinnamon Pear Greek yogurt, and Pumpkin Harvest Crisp "Flip" Greek yogurt, which features pumpkin low-fat yogurt with a side of pie crust pieces, pecans and glazed pumpkin seeds. The "Flip" flavor has already been spotted on grocery store shelves, and a representative for Chobani says all three flavors will be available at major supermarkets nationwide.
Here's what it looks like when opened:
The Delish.com team taste-tested all three flavors, and Pumpkin Harvest Crisp immediately emerged as a fan favorite. The mix-ins are large enough that you can taste each flavor (especially the pie crust pieces) and, when combined with the tanginess of pumpkin-flavored yogurt, the treat tastes a lot like a pumpkin cheesecake with a hint of pecan.
The Pear Cinnamon flavor features small bits of pear and flecks of cinnamon. There's a slight fragrance to it, reminiscent of walking into a Bath & Body Works in mid-September, but thankfully, taste-testers said the flavor wasn't at all body cream-esque: It was more like if you chopped pears, and swirled them into plain Greek yogurt with a spoonful of honey and a shake of ground cinnamon.
For the purists, the Pumpkin Spice Greek yogurt features pureed pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg. A little lemon juice brightens the yogurt, so it's not as heavy as a classic pumpkin pie filling, but it has all the flavor of one. Basically, it's the Pumpkin Harvest Crisp Flip without the mix-ins.
