Chobani Greek Yogurt - Bloggers Dinner - Glasgow

Last night I had the pleasure of being invited to a gorgeous dinner

Chobani is a brand that hasn't long been released in the UK

but has been a massive success across the pond

When their founder first released the product there was no big marketing budget 

so the majority of the brands success came from people just like us, bloggers and social media lovers! 

Therefore the blogging community is very close to their hearts 

which is why a lovely bunch of us Glasgow bloggers were invited down to The Corinthian to try out some of their products! 

I am currently on a fitness journey and doing a lot of weight and strength training 

So right now it's really important for me to pack plenty of protein into my diet

It really appeals to me that Chobani yogurts actually contain TWICE the amount of protein than in a normal yogurt!

 Chobani worked with the chefs and mixologists at The Corinthian to come up with a unique food and drinks menu where every course contained some of the Greek Yogurt.

I would have never considered adding yogurt to a cocktail but it really worked!

infact it went down a bit too well! 

After a very meaty meal last weekend 

I decided to change things up a bit last night and go for the Vegetarian options on the menu

I had the risotto to start which was lovely 

The yogurt gave it a really thick creamy texture 

and for someone who isn't a pea lover I polished off the lot! 

Now I know I was slating polenta in my last post 

but I decided to give it another chance and I'm glad I did 

It was really lovely and perfectly set off by the Yogurt which acted as a sour cream dip for the polenta cake

The peppery rocket and red pepper salad was a lovely finishing touch

For dessert I went for the Creme Brulee 

which had a gorgeous thick consistency 

and the caramel gave it a lovely sweet flavour

I made a complete mess all over the table with the crumbly shortbread! 

(Can't take me anywhere)

Usually the only time I eat yogurt is with fresh berries for breakfast

but I will definitely be trying to incorporate it into my meals more often 

especially when I'm trying to increase my protein intake.

Here are the two gorgeous ladies that made it happen 

Christine and Amy were such lovely hostesses running around after us all night! 

They both even have their own blogs 

Christine - Little Swallow

Amy - Yummei

 Of course the best part of the whole evening was getting to see some of my lovely blogger friends like:

Melissa Laura & Paula
