Chobani’s Passport to Flavor

Last week, we had the distinct pleasure of joining fabulous Registered Dietitians from across the country for the Food and Culinary Professionals conference in Napa, CA. Held at the Culinary Institute of America, we were able to get busy in real chef test kitchens and try our hands at all kinds of delicious and nutritious dishes- two of which we’ve compiled here to share with all you lovely peeps! We hope you enjoy, and be sure to let us know what you give a try.
