A perfect blend of creamy yogurt and tasty mix-ins combine to create a treat that balances indulgence with a touch of health-consciousness. With a wide variety of flavors, Chobani Flip yogurt makes it difficult to choose just one. Six unique flavors are being put to the test and reviewed based on everything from taste to texture. Discover the ultimate flavor and decide on the yogurt that suits any preference, to ensure a perfect choice every time.

Every ranking has to start somewhere, beginning with the lowest ranked flavor: Coconut Caramel Cookie: a coconut caramel yogurt with mix-ins that include coconut, graham cracker and milk chocolate. One would assume that this combination would be slightly higher in the ranking. However these particular mix-ins were lack-luster and truthfully the texture was nothing special. This yogurt, supposedly resembling the classic samoa girl scout cookie, resembled nothing of the sort. Therefore, coconut caramel cookie is rated 6.21 out of ten.

Cookie Dough---vanilla yogurt complete with milk chocolate chips, cookie dough pieces, and cookie rice crisps---is next on the list, receiving a ranking of 6.54. While only moderately better than Coconut Caramel Cookie, Cookie Dough was, put plainly, plain. An average yogurt mixed with average toppings, resulted in an average rating. If one is a fan of simplicity, this yogurt would be ideal.

More than a full point ahead of Cookie Dough, at 7.56, is Key Lime Crumble. A key lime flavored Greek yogurt with graham crackers and white chocolate chips very closely resembles the real dessert, key lime pie. The yogurt itself has a tangy taste, much like the filling of a usual pie, and the graham crackers would have given it the perfect texture, had there been more graham crackers and less white chocolate chips. Still, Key Lime Crumble secures a solid spot on the list. 

Third place goes to a s’mores inspired flavor, complete with a sweet vanilla yogurt, honey graham crackers, milk chocolate, and toasted sugar bits. The S'mores brings complexity to an otherwise bland vanilla base. Sweeter than other flavors, it leans more towards a dessert, than a snack. Although not an everyday option, for those in the mood for something rich and nostalgic, it’s the perfect choice.

Bringing home a surprising second place, with a unique and unsuspecting flavor, Boston Cream Pie receives a 9.01 out of the ten point scale. The vanilla yogurt base returns, but now paired with yellow cake crunch, custard clusters, and chocolate chips. The mix-ins were perfectly balanced and added just the right amount of texture to capture the classic dessert, a true standout among more predictable choices.

Finally, taking the top spot, while not a perfect ten, Confetti Birthday Cake receives an impressive 9.23 and claims first place in the final ranking. A sweet but not overwhelming birthday cake flavored yogurt, cake bites, frosted rice crisps and pastry pieces blend, creating a contrast of textures for a fun and delicious treat. Easily the most balanced and satisfying out of the six, it’s a well-executed flavor making it a deserving favorite.

So to flip or not to flip? After putting them to the test, the answer is leaning towards yes. From the underwhelming to surprisingly impressive, the flavors offered a mix of both familiar and new combinations. However this ranking highlights only a narrow range of flavors Chobani Flip has to offer and a discovery of the perfect 10 out 10 is yet to be found. In the end, although some flavors fell short, most proved that yogurt can be a sweet and fun treat with flavors that can suit anyone's tastes.
