Part of what makes Greek yogurt so popular is that it's a high protein yogurt and its loaded with bacteria that is good for you. Greek yogurt has been incredibly popular over the last couple of years, but Stonyfield is offering something a little different with its 'Petite Cremes,' a new line of Greek yogurt.
While Greek yogurt is typically low-fat and very creamy, Petite Cremes are made like the French fromage blanc, which has a consistency that's more like cream cheese than yogurt. Rather than being made with yogurt cultures, the Petite Cremes are actually made with cheese cultures as well. Although this may be a little unusual, the flavors are familiar fruity ones like Black Cherry, Blueberry, Peach, Strawberry and Vanilla.
