New food find

I bought this yogurt* because it was pretty.

new yogurt

Can you blame me? Luckily it was delicious, too.

*Saint Benoit yogurt, with honey, from Whole Foods, in a reusable, returnable ceramic container. I hope they don't hate me for keeping the container for a little while, just to look at it.

    Not at all! I sometimes buy produce because it's pretty and I want to photograph it... but then I end up eating it so think that's okay!

    oh my gosh... i am obsessed with yogurt and will be buying this immediately!

    have you tried the icelandic yogurt from whole foods? it is a lot like greek yogurt, but tastier and healthier!

    I always end up keeping my milk bottles a bit longer than necessary. They're too pretty to send back right away :).

    So cute! I live in the Midwest, but my brother just moved out to the Bay Area, so I just e-mailed him and told him that he needs to buy one for me :)

    Just because it is returnable doesn't mean you HAVE to, does it? I don't think they'd mind too much if you kept it and used it to put wildflowers in. That's reusing it, too, right? :-D

    I've never seen it. But then again, I've never been in a whole foods. We do have a fresh market though.

    i have stacks of these stashed in one of my kitchen cabinets... which i NEVER plan to return. I'm sure. why do they think people buy their yogurt, if not for the container?

    i mean it's good. but it's all about the little ceramic pot.

    guilty of occasionally succumbing to tasty-but-pricey spega yogurt for the same reason, so no judgment here!

    Beware. Whole Foods is also selling chocolate milk in an adorable glass container. Chocolate + great container = a "no duh" purchase on my end.

    Saint Benoit yogurt is delicious. I especially love the honey, but the meyer lemon is excellent too.
    I buy one-two every week, at the Ferry Building Farmer's Market...and I saved 2 of the containers, but returned the rest.
