Danone's Oikos brand is introducing Oikos Greek Yogurt with Almond Butter as a satisfying, protein-rich snack. While both Greek yogurt and nut butter are both known as snacks that are great sources of protein, this new product offers a blend of both to share 13 grams of protein per 5.3-ounce cup—this is comparable to Oikos' Whole Milk Greek Yogurt with 11 grams of protein and Oikos' Triple Zero protein yogurt, which boasts 15 grams of protein per 5.3-ounce cup.
The hybrid snacks are being introduced in varieties like almond butter with maple cinnamon, vanilla, coconut or berries, as well as a sweetened plain option.
Rather than having to settle for a protein-rich snack that comes from either animal protein or a plant-based source, consumers may enjoy a bit of both with these yogurt cups.
