Organic Chocolate Indulgence Giveaway
The title says it all.
I know there is a huge possibility based on the basic principles of probability that you could be ragingly hormonal and PMSing right now (you too guys!) and urgently needing a decadent chocolate fix (or is that just me?). Please, if you could muster up the courage to resist the American way of instant gratification and wait to read my review and the rest of this post, I would surely gosh darn appreciate it.
Pretty please?
With an organic cherry on top?
Excellent.
Thank you for your cooperation as it’s much appreciated.
The lovely Kristina + Manisha from Stonyfield Farms offered to send me coupons to try the Oikos Caramel and Chocolate flavors. Since I am a horribly behind the times blogger (I blame my recent obsession with 16th century England and The Tudors: Season One), I obvs said yes, because I still had not tried them.
Until now.
At Target, I was a lucky enough Everythingtarian to find the Caramel flavor (the Chocolate has eluded me so far – review is pending upon finding said flavor).
Upon opening it, it looked just like regular ol’ plain Greek yog…
With one twirl of my spoon, a lovingly creamy bubble of smooth caramel suddenly appeared in all its orangey glory on the yogurt’s surface…
My first bite? It tasted like I was eating straight up caramel.
But not as sweet.
Or sticky.
Merely creamy, decadent goodness for 110 calories and 10 grams of protein.
Topped with Kashi Toasted Berry Crumble cereal, my only regret was that I didn’t have a cold, crunchy apple straight from my crisper to dunk right on in…
It gets better my friends.
We’re all friends here, right?
Good, because it is only with friends that I would share perhaps the most genius and delicious overnight oats concoction. EVER.
Yes, ever.
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 container Caramel Oikos
1/2 cup milk (I used 1/2 but would recommend 1/4)
~ soaked overnight ~
1/2 sliced naner
1 heaping T crunchy peanut butter
dark chocolate chips
At least until the next best overnight oats recipe comes along.
Seriously though, this was chocolatey but yet kind of butterscotchy without being too sweet but still retaining a fresh (not fakey) flavor all topped with a glorious pool of peanut butter that had my tastebuds wanting more, more, more…
You can jump for my love AND this bowl of overnight oats.
It’s okay.
I did this morning.
Clearly, I am in a rambly mood tonight so let’s get down to it before I start posting weird pictures of me or getting really deep + philosophical or declaring my borderline-stalker love for Jake Gyllenhaal once more.
Stonyfield Farms wants to give one Everythingtarian reader a lovely chocolate-themed package of indulgent treats, including TWO coupons to purchase Caramel + Chocolate Oikos for yourself!
- 1 coupon for a free Green & Black Organic Chocolate Bar
- 1 sample of Numi Organic Chocolate Tea
- 1 Dagoba/Eco Lips Organic Chocolate chapstick
- 1 Skinnyskinny real cocoa organic soap bar
- 2 free coupons for Oikos Caramel + Chocolate Greek yogurt packs
- Recipe card set along with an Oikos spatula
Here’s what you gotta do to win the loot…
Entry #1: Watch a YoTube video, and leave me a comment telling me something you learned about organics and/or organic farming.
Entry #2: Leave me a second comment telling me the most creative dessert you can think of using Caramel or Chocolate Oikos.
Yes, TWO ways to win.
You have until this Wednesday night at 5pm CST to enter.
Now, scoot your butt over to YoTube, and embrace your American-ness (or don’t embrace your non-American-ness to all my international readers) by watching, learning and commenting.
Now there’s some instant gratification for you.

Ironic because I found the chocolate at my Target but no sign of the caramel. The chocolate one wasn’t too great but I want to try the caramel SO BADLY. I think they would be delicious as pancake fillings!
July 19th, 2010 at 6:59 pm
I learned that the chemicals of non-organic food are stored in fat. So that is one reason why it’s important to feed babies organic yogurt – since they have more fat! Interesting…..I never knew that!
July 19th, 2010 at 7:00 pm
This looks sooo good, Everythingtarian! I’ve recently started making my own yogurt — maybe I need to whip up some homemade caramel sauce to go with it, ey? I agree with Tay — pancake or crepe filling would be awesome. Or just with some granola on top, as is my usual way!
July 19th, 2010 at 7:00 pm
Creative concoction: Pour it into a cone, stick it in the freezer, and eat it like a frozen ice cream treat
July 19th, 2010 at 7:01 pm
I think the most impactful information I learned from one of these videos is that in 1976, Vermont use to be over 3500 farms and today, there is just under 1200! Crazy to think where all of those thousands of farms and farmers went.
July 19th, 2010 at 7:01 pm
I learned that eating organic means that we can use antibiotics when we’re sick without worrying about having formed antibodies against the diseases.
July 19th, 2010 at 7:03 pm
I love to freeze the carmel for about an hour so that it gets to a creamy ice cream consistency. Then, I add Banana Fro Yo, banana slices, chocolate chips, and pecans. Just envision the most amazing sundae!
July 19th, 2010 at 7:04 pm
I learned that Stonyfield works with family organic farms. This is great news!
July 19th, 2010 at 7:18 pm
I would put the caramel oikos in myn ice cream maker and create my own home made froyo!!!
July 19th, 2010 at 7:19 pm
First, hi! I’m Liza! I love your blog– your personality shines right through and it’s so fun to read!
Second, I learned that instead of chemical fertilizer, they use compost among other things! So cool that compost can really support those trees!
July 19th, 2010 at 7:23 pm
I also learned that every time you buy an item at the grocery store, you’re voting for whether you support organic farmers or not.
July 19th, 2010 at 7:27 pm
I think I would try to concoct either flavor…or maybe both!…into some sort of refrigerator pie. Cookie crumb crust…softened ice cream or lite cool whip mixed in. Yummers!
July 19th, 2010 at 7:28 pm
Hmmmm, if I had some chocolate and caramel oikos goodness, I would make… a Mexican style 7 layer dip!!! 1. chocolate oikos. 2. many many peanut butter chips . 3. chopped toasted almonds 4. caramel oikos 5. honey+cinnamon granola 6. fresh raspberries 7. chocolate syrup drizzle … serve with graham crackers to dip!
July 19th, 2010 at 7:30 pm
I would use the carmel flavor with pumpkin muffins-as a filling and as a “frosting.”
July 19th, 2010 at 7:45 pm
Those overnight oats look delicious! My favorite way to eat carmel yogurt is to add a scoop of peanut butter on top and dip apple slices in it. Peanut butter carmel apples!
July 19th, 2010 at 7:46 pm
I learned that the overuse of antibiotics in dairy farms is one of the reasons that some bacteria are becoming resistant to antibiotics.
July 19th, 2010 at 7:51 pm
I learned every year in the US we use a billion lbs of pesticide and it doesn’t all say in the fields in which it is sprayed… it evaporates into the wind, rain, snow and runs off into our water supply. boo
July 19th, 2010 at 7:51 pm
The best way to eat the chocolate is frozen! So good
July 19th, 2010 at 7:53 pm
omg i must try your overnight oats recipe- sounds delicious!!
July 19th, 2010 at 8:17 pm
I like to mix the oikos caramel yogurt with a blended frozen banana (banana soft serve), then sprinkle dark chocolate cookie crumbs or chocolate granola on top. Simple and satisfying! =)
July 19th, 2010 at 8:31 pm
haha i went right for the picture of babies. who knew yogurt could be such a good, easy-to-digest baby food? well, i do now.
July 19th, 2010 at 8:34 pm
hmm. i wonder how it would taste if i froze it and ate it like a popsicle. haha maybe i’ll have to try.
July 19th, 2010 at 8:37 pm
I learned that toddlers that eat organic foods have a better immune system!
July 19th, 2010 at 8:38 pm
Chocolate with pb2 powder mixed in!
July 19th, 2010 at 8:54 pm
stonyfield started their farm and yogurt making with 7 cows! and now they are the leading organic yog manufacturer. crazy!
July 19th, 2010 at 8:57 pm
dessert = a fro yo creations with caramel oikos and some chunks of salted dark chocolate. sweet and salty all in one glorious frozen dessert!
ps- next time you are in MN you MUST hit up s joes! i think you would love it!
July 19th, 2010 at 9:07 pm
Girl, I got some of the chocolate Oikos at WF’s about a month or so ago. Have you tried there?
The video I watched… they made a comment about how with conventional farming you make nature what you need it to be, whereas with organic you have to work with nature. I had never thought about that, but it makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately the video made me crave raspberries and I have none
.
July 19th, 2010 at 9:09 pm
And since I hate caramel, my chocolate Oikos dessert would be using it to make a mousse or something… and topping it with raspberries. Chocolate raspberry mousse? Yes please
.
July 19th, 2010 at 9:14 pm
I have not tried either of these yogurts! However, once I do, I intend to freeze them to make them into frozen yogurt and then top with chocolate sauce and chopped fresh cherries.
July 19th, 2010 at 9:26 pm
Haven’t tried either, but I would eat them straight up, with lots of fresh berries and a dusting of granola.
July 19th, 2010 at 9:38 pm
hmm i bet freezing it would make some amaaazing fro yo. perhaps a baked apple with granola on top + caramel oikos fro yo…lazy girl’s apple pie a la mode?!
July 19th, 2010 at 9:43 pm
WOW you are the oatmeal QUEEN!!!
i LOVE freezing caramel oikos so it gets a froyo like texture!! and then topping with dark chocolate chips and peanut butter..sound ssimple but it ROCKS!
July 19th, 2010 at 9:48 pm
Hormonal or not, I want this amaze-balls package of love and I want it bad.
I learned that the organization Climate Counts rates company climate efforts across multiple industries in terms of what they’re doing to lessen their carbon footprint and that we as consumers can make our opinions and values heard by choosing which companies we support with our dollars. I think we all need to find out who we are ‘supporting’ and what effects they are having on our environment!
July 19th, 2010 at 9:51 pm
I found it interesting that toddlers who eat organic have a better immune system!
July 19th, 2010 at 9:52 pm
I would definitely be making some kind of faux ice cream with it. Mmmmm… Just thinking about it makes me drool
July 19th, 2010 at 9:53 pm
I would really like to try this yogurt frozen. I’ve only tried regular yogurt that way. I also want to try overnight oats with the caramel!
July 19th, 2010 at 10:06 pm
i learned that you are voting for/against organics everytime you buy things at the grocery store!
July 19th, 2010 at 10:07 pm
everybody is saying this, but i would def freeze it and then blend it up with a frozen banana, top it with almond butter and chocolate chips!
July 19th, 2010 at 10:23 pm
hmmm…dessert creations..i think i would keep it simple with the chocolate and just serve topped with whipped cream and strawberries or raspberries. here is my great idea for the caramel, inspired by my favorite british dessert from my year spent studying in scotland- the banoffee pie – food gasms all over the place. OK, healthy everythingtarian, please do this. the banoffee pie parfait – caramel oikos layered with whipped cream, crumbled graham crackers and slices of banana..nom nom
July 19th, 2010 at 10:31 pm
I learned that babies like yogurt because of the consistency. Weird, because that’s why most of my friends DON’T like it!
July 19th, 2010 at 10:32 pm
Also, if I were making a desert I’d have it with granola. Hardly creative, but oh so yummy!
July 19th, 2010 at 10:43 pm
Amazing giveaway! I learned that the Elberta peach was developed by Samuel H. Rumph and named for his wife – how sweet!
July 19th, 2010 at 10:45 pm
A fun dessert?! How about Caramel Oikos, homemade granola, and slivered almonds!
July 19th, 2010 at 10:58 pm
1. how has it been 57 weeks since we have got together? let’s eat some great food soon!!!
2. ummm what target has caramel oikos?!?!?!?! i literally want to go get some tomorrow!!!
3. i actually chose to watch the video on the company “preserve”…what a great company! i’m going to invest in some of their products. gotta reduce, reuse, recycle :}
July 19th, 2010 at 10:59 pm
And most creative dessert made with caramel yogurt? I would make some sort of caramel apple bread using the yogurt as the means to keep the bread moist instead of buttah!
July 19th, 2010 at 11:33 pm
I learned that un-organic foods, because they may have antibiotics in them, may build up our immunity to the antibiotics we are prescribed when we get sick… SCARY!
July 19th, 2010 at 11:34 pm
And, I think the caramel Oikos would be great atop a rhubarb crumble/cobbler
July 20th, 2010 at 12:20 am
I am urgently in need of a chocolate fix. Me, me, me! And it doesn’t come and go… it’s usually constant
I watched many a YoTube video, because I’m cool like that, and was pleased to find that I knew a lot about what their videos addressed. I did, however, learn a lot about the importance of organic for growing babies (both within and outside of the womb). I think I would have assumed a lot of these facts anyway, but it’s so scary to see that there’s obvious evidence of the exposure of pesticides and other dangerous chemicals in pregnant women and their embryos and the damage it can change. I don’t want to have children for a long long time (oh scary
but I think it’s important for anyone who even considers reproducing in the future to know these facts. Thanks for sharing, love.
July 20th, 2010 at 5:05 am
hmmm the most CREATIVE way to use this yogurt?! i have a million things going around my head because the idea of creamy caramel on ANYTHING sounds fabulous!
I think that it would be delicious slightly frozen then dolloped out on some chocolate covered bananas!!!
July 20th, 2010 at 5:08 am
I learned that Organic milk” means that the cows’ feed, such as corn, soy, and hay, was grown organically. In addition, organic regulations prohibit the use of antibiotics and synthetic growth hormones. Organic regulations also mandate specific humane animal standards, including access to fresh air and pasture.
July 20th, 2010 at 5:49 am
yay what a fabulous giveaway Holly!!!
Entry #1: Stonyfield has more yogurt than any company in the world!!! Wow…and i thought Dannon owned yogurt-land!
July 20th, 2010 at 5:50 am
Entry #2: I would DEFINITELY make brownies using caramel oikos, substituting all the oil for yogurt. Mmmm Yogurt caramel brownies sound pretty yummy to me!
July 20th, 2010 at 7:12 am
I woud make a trifle! I would layer yogurt, cake, yogurt, fresh berries, then repeat layers.
July 20th, 2010 at 7:12 am
*would
July 20th, 2010 at 7:38 am
I learned that with organic farming, it’s a more family oriented process than is commercial farming. Right down to the itty grittynes of it
July 20th, 2010 at 7:40 am
Okay get this:
Make chocolate caramel swirl froyo inside a froyo maker, top it with cherries and chocolate and caramel bits and the on the side, make a “cheesecake” with the leftover froyo inside a graham cracker crust with oreos on top
decadent of the decadent
July 20th, 2010 at 7:49 am
I learned that every year here in the US we use a BILLION pounds of pesticide!! Eww
July 20th, 2010 at 8:21 am
can’t watch videos on work computer. what’s a girl to do? i guess i’ll dream up my concoction instead: caramel oikos banana creme pie. you like?
July 20th, 2010 at 8:47 am
Am I allowed to enter yours since I can’t win my own?
I’m going to anyways!
I learned that in 1980, dairy farmers got back 50% of the money from selling their product, and now they only get 28-30%. There were also about 3500 dairy/dairy farmers in the late 70s in Vermont and that is now down to just 1200.
July 20th, 2010 at 8:48 am
Most creative?
Snickers Milkshake:
1 container Caramel Oikos yogurt
1 container Chocolate Oikos yogurt
1/2 cup milk
1 cup ice
vanilla
1 Tbsp pb
I need to actually try this while I have the yogurt. Yum!
July 20th, 2010 at 10:08 am
Umm…your overnight oats are making me drool. So yummy!
I haven’t tried Oikos yet either, so you are definitely not alone in being behind in the times.
I’ll be searching it out for sure though.
July 20th, 2010 at 10:21 am
Shut up! You are watching the Tudors…I just started watching that too and am obsessed!
July 20th, 2010 at 11:11 am
I love that Stoneyfield uses compost instead of fertilizer!
And of course, I love you!
July 20th, 2010 at 11:19 am
Oh those overnight oats looks DE-lish! Must put that recipe on my To-Do List, asap! Anyway…I would probably slightly freeze the yogurt, and use my chocolate dipped apple slices to scoop up the “Fro-yo”. Great summer time dessert!
July 20th, 2010 at 11:43 am
Thanks for sharing this giveaway, Holly!
I learned through the video that land on which organic food or fibers are grown must not have had prohibited substances applied (such as toxic and persistent chemical pesticides and fertilizers) for three years prior to certification!
July 20th, 2010 at 11:46 am
I would chunk up a chocolate vita top, stir it into the yogurt, make a crust from fiber bran cereal mixed with egg whites (baked in the oven) and then spoon the yogurt/vita mix into the crust for freezing. BROWNIE ICE CREAM PIE, Viola
July 20th, 2010 at 12:07 pm
I would make frozen yogurt from these
July 20th, 2010 at 12:21 pm
I would use the Oikos instead of applesauce or oil in a recipe like Banana Bread, to give it a sweet hint of caramel or chocolate…YUM!
July 20th, 2010 at 12:41 pm
I have been wanting to try these, but I haven’t had any luck finding them. I think I agree with some of the other peeps and I would make frozen yogurt.
July 20th, 2010 at 2:32 pm
Caramel/toffee/fudge is probably my favourite flavour/topping etc so this yoghurt sounds absolutely glorious!!!! xx
July 20th, 2010 at 2:33 pm
I did not realize that the Stonyfield company purposefully seeks out the family owned farms! I love that they support those struggling farmers/families out there. I appreciate them showing an actual farmer and his family as well as the great care, love and purpose that they put into growing their crop.
July 20th, 2010 at 2:36 pm
For my dessert (my most favorite part of the day): I think I would make a no-bake pie with these babies. I’d definitely combine some nutella, the caramel oikos and some cinnamon and fill up a delicious graham cracker crust. Most likely it would need to be topped with some whipped cream, dark chocolate shavings and some berries for good measure! Thanks for the fun and informative contest!
July 20th, 2010 at 2:44 pm
I buy organic dairy thinking of hormones, I never thought of it containing antibiotics and that over-supply of antibiotics in your system contributing to antibiotic resistant disease. Ew.
July 20th, 2010 at 3:28 pm
I think I would have to do something with the caramel oikos….I think straight-up with some cookies crumbled into it is probably all it needs…yum
July 20th, 2010 at 3:44 pm
I found their connection between family farming and organic production to be….interesting. Just like traditional farming (which started out as family farming), once organic farming gets popular enough and enough people prefer it, it will turn more commercial and that link will be lost.
July 20th, 2010 at 3:44 pm
I would use the caramel in a recipe for zucchini bread I have that calls for yogurt!
July 20th, 2010 at 3:55 pm
So I watched the “How We Make Our Yogurt” video which, first of all, was hilar. I learned that their yogurt plant receives 8-10 trucks holding 5,000 gallons of milk each per day, which are then tested against their standards before being processed. That’s a LOTTA moo juice right there.
July 20th, 2010 at 4:00 pm
I watched the video called “Dr Sears: Yogurt as a first food”. I learned that Dr. Sears recommends organic yogurt for babies after 6 months of age. It is a good transition food because of its similar consistency to mother’s milk. One reason that organic is important is that the chemicals in non-organic foods are stored in fats, and babies have more fat!
July 20th, 2010 at 4:01 pm
These flavors sound so delicious on their own, I’d have a hard time resisting the urge to consume them immediately before turning them into a recipe… but I’m thinking it would be fun to do a healthy spin on a caramel apple by slathering a big ole Granny Smith (on a stick, natch) with Caramel Oikos, popping it in the freezer or fridge to set, then savoring a match made in heaven.
July 20th, 2010 at 4:04 pm
I can think of lots of desserts using chocolate or caramel Oikos, but the most creative one is probably phyllo rolls with yogurt, drizzled in honey, and topped with crumbled walnuts. Here’s a recipe that could be adapted:
http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Date-and-Walnut-Phyllo-Rolls-with-Greek-Yogurt-and-Honey-233722
July 20th, 2010 at 4:16 pm
I learned that children who eat organic foods are generally healthier with a healthier immune system.
July 20th, 2010 at 4:19 pm
Ahh my creative skills suck. -_- My creative dessert would be perhaps mixing the caramel Oikos with bananas and blueberries and perhaps some nuts and then freezing it.
July 20th, 2010 at 8:18 pm
I watched the video on raspberry farming. It was very interesting as Stonyfield is the only raspberry farmer in their area dealing with very dry and arid land. They’ve been growing the berries for about 4 year and are overcoming all sorts of obstacles. Raspberries are definitely an item that I try and buy organic!
July 20th, 2010 at 8:18 pm
Chocolate cream pie is my fave- chocolate cream oikos pie!? mmmhmm
July 20th, 2010 at 8:18 pm
I learned that dairy farmers are getting a far less percentage of money in their sales than in the past. Not fair for the farmers!
July 20th, 2010 at 8:19 pm
Hmm, I think I would eat the yogurts straight up? Sounds good to me! Using the caramel oikos for apple dippage sounds excellente.
July 20th, 2010 at 9:22 pm
I learned that the chemicals of non-organic food are stored in fat. That is soooo cool!
July 20th, 2010 at 9:23 pm
this is def. not creative but I would love to dunk apples in it…or maybe make a cinnamon-caramel- apple parfait? idk..but it looks delish!
July 20th, 2010 at 9:32 pm
every purchase counts! even if you can only afford to buy one organic item, its all worth it
July 20th, 2010 at 9:33 pm
i think the chocolate oikos would be FABULOUS in some yoatgurt! yummm
July 20th, 2010 at 9:37 pm
Mix it up with JUMBO rice krispie cereal. A bowl of fun
July 20th, 2010 at 9:52 pm
youngins who eat organic have better immune systems…great to know considering in nearing that age
July 20th, 2010 at 9:59 pm
hmm best dessert? i would freeze the caramel yogurt for a bit so i would have a delicious frozen yogurt treat!
July 20th, 2010 at 10:11 pm
Go Dr. Sears! I am totally convinced that feeding my future children organic foods will prevent diseases. This almost makes me excited about having kids! Gotta slow down, 20 is a little young to be planning this…
July 20th, 2010 at 10:12 pm
Ooh Caramel Oikos. I was thumbing through recipes today and I found one for a Pokey Cake? It’s just normal cake but you poke big holes in it and pour pudding over the top. With melted oikos? Sounds like a worthy experiment.
July 21st, 2010 at 12:01 am
I learned that buying organic is helping farmers stay in the land, in the long run.
July 21st, 2010 at 12:01 am
Use Caramel or Chocolate Oikos as a spread on toasters.
July 21st, 2010 at 11:03 am
I’d use the chocolate Oikos as an oatmeal topping with some White Chocolate Wonderful to make a chocolatey dessert oatmeal!
July 21st, 2010 at 11:52 am
I would use the Chocolate Oikos to to make a healthier take on Chocolate Cheesecake! The yogurt could replace some of the sugar and the sweetened condensed milk.
July 21st, 2010 at 12:05 pm
I learned that babies should always eat organic dairy (OK, so I kind of knew that, but it’s SO important!)
July 21st, 2010 at 12:06 pm
I love the chocolate one, but if I had the caramel I might stick it inside a baked apple, or maybe over a cinnamon waffle with apple compote!
July 21st, 2010 at 12:47 pm
it’s not super creative but I would love to mix it up with a bunch of fresh fruit. yummy!
July 21st, 2010 at 1:02 pm
I watched one of the videos and learned that Stonyfield recycles their containers into various things like toothbrushes!
July 21st, 2010 at 1:04 pm
And I think a yummy dessert using the Chocolate Oikos would be to make a “Chocolate Yogurt Tiramisu,” by soaking ladyfingers in coffee and marsala, then layering the ladyfingers with the chocolate yogurt to create five layers (ladyfingers, yogurt, ladyfingers, yogurt, ladyfingers) and then topping the whole thing with whipped cream and shaved chocolate!
July 21st, 2010 at 1:15 pm
my modification on a delicious cooking light recipe using chocolate oikos!
Banana crisp a la mode
3 cups banana
1 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 /2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup regular oats
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 1/4 tablespoons chilled butter or stick margarine, cut into small pieces
1 cups chocolate oikos yogurt
Combine first 4 ingredients in a medium bowl; spoon into an 11 x 7-inch baking dish. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup, and level with a knife. Combine flour, cup brown sugar, oats, and cinnamon, and cut in the butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle over the banana mixture. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes or until bubbly. Top each serving with 1/4 cup frozen yogurt
July 21st, 2010 at 1:26 pm
I learned that the milk farmers used to get 50% of the revenue from their products and now conventional farmers are only getting 28-32% in addition to using harmful hormones, pesticides and antibiotics.
July 21st, 2010 at 2:36 pm
I learned that kids benefit from eating organic by having stronger immune systems. Interesting!
July 21st, 2010 at 2:38 pm
Oh, I know what I’d do with the caramel Oikois! I’d blend it with pumpkin and top with almond butter and chopped walnuts. Vanilla ice cream if dessert, a bit of vanilla yogurt if not for a topping.
July 21st, 2010 at 3:10 pm
I watched “Ski Champ Farmer” and learned that Bode Miller, a world champion alpine ski racer, is also an organic farmer in New Hampshire! Very cool, and lucky Bode to be able to live on a beautiful farm near where he grew up.
July 21st, 2010 at 3:11 pm
I would use caramel or chocolate Oikos to make frozen yogurt or smoothie. These might not be the most creative desserts imaginable, but they are some of my favorite desserts!
July 21st, 2010 at 4:26 pm
I would mix it with no pudge brownies to make a caramel brownie!!
July 21st, 2010 at 6:34 pm
I would mash graham crackers in a mini pie shell, then layer the choc AND caramel oikos, add a layer of DCD, then strawberries, choc chips and whip cream on top!
July 22nd, 2010 at 9:30 am
SOUNDS delish!
yummmm. I definitely have to give this a try! 
Thanks for this post.
I love new ideas for overnight oats. Especially with this magnitude of geniusy deliciousness!
July 22nd, 2010 at 1:30 pm
