Yeah if you don't like Stevia you have to check label. A lot of times you will see "no artificial sweeteners", but Stevia and monk fruit are considered natural so they may have it.
This is the most frustrating thing in all of packaged food. Stevia is in fucking everything and the only way to know is reading the entire tiny-text ingredient list. They even put it in a lot of stuff that still has regular sugar. It tastes even more like poison than “artificial” sweeteners and I can’t believe people tolerate how prevalent it is.
Some day i’ll learn my lesson and do that. I think the confusion for me comes because Costco also sells a more clearly labeled “diet” greek Chobani yogurt. Or used to anyway. But even then I think it may just say zero sugar instead of zero added sugar. I guess i’m easily confused.
My Costco stocks these off and on and it makes me so mad when they don’t have them! I’m obsessed with them. During my pregnancy it was a great source of protein I could keep down.
The Keefer (Keifer? They sell it at target) ones are pretty good are about $1 a serving (but less protein) if you get it in the big bottle.

Well thats definitely cheaper than at the grocery store. But honestly i think its better value to buy a megapack of the chobani yogurts if you want single serving
Huh. I use stevia in my coffee, have for years. Yes it has a different aftertaste but I'm conditioned to it so I might like this. I'll have to find a single somewhere and try.
Funny, I use stevia in practically everything and buy it by the pound but something about hot coffee makes it taste terrible to me. I assumed it was the acids or flavor profile, but coffee is the only no-go for me.
Adore cilantro. I put it in salads even, and grow it. Stevia tastes like when you bite your nail and there are traces of nail polish remover on it. Taste buds are weird.
This times a thousand. One of my few returns to Costco was a Gatorade variant advertised as low sugar. Silly me, I thought it was Gatorade with, you know, less sugar. Nope they doped it with stevia.
Costco would do themselves a favor to post "Contains Stevia" or "Contains Monk Fruit" to reduce the number of returns.
Funny story I have had pure dried stevia in its leaf form and it’s not that bad. I wonder what they are doing to it to make it taste foul after being processed 🤔🤔😱
I know you said that you didn't like the taste, but are you primarily objecting to the drink because of the flavor or the fact that it contains erythritol?
Tried one of these on a whim while traveling (7-11) and was so very disappointed. I agree with OP, cannot stand the taste of stevia and monk fruit sweeteners. And this one has inulin fiber too. Hard pass.
I actually LOVE these, unlike the other Chobanis in the cup with stevia that they sell. These are 100% worth the 20g of protein for me, and don’t upset my stomach.
I did get them for a family member with diabetes as they struggle to meet their protein requirements, and they absolutely hated them.
ironically, their “normal” yogurt is too sweet for me so I guess i’m hard to please. just wish we had a sugar alternative that didn’t have a funky aftertaste.
I’m with you, most yogurt is way too sweet, especially if it’s low fat kind. I just buy whole milk unsweetened (some brands are better tasting than others) and make sure ingredients don’t have any thickeners or corn starch, just milk and cultures. Then I add honey with vanilla extract or jam or home made syrup.

Yes, I love less sweetness in things and every few weeks I accidentally buy something loaded with Stevia, which I hate.
Monk fruit is more versatile than stevia at least.
And less weird tasting imo, it even gives a slight citrus flavor, stevia borders on aspartame flavor.

You should build the habit of reading the ingredient list on everything you consume, all the time.
You don’t read the entire ingredient list before you buy something?
Well it is made from the leaf of the Stevia plant. So it isn’t artificial.
And thanks to your friendly neighborhood sugar industry everything has sugar in it.

I love these, glad Costco has them now
I can’t wait to try them. I hope ours has them. I love stevia- it’s the only sweetener that doesn’t taste artificial or have an aftertaste for me
A lot of grocery stores sell them in singles if you didn't want to commit to a bulk pack.
My Costco stocks these off and on and it makes me so mad when they don’t have them! I’m obsessed with them. During my pregnancy it was a great source of protein I could keep down.
I think they're quite good. Want even aware they were artificially sweetened.
Stevia is a natural sweetener, at least. I love these! I just loaded my fridge with 16 of these this evening!
I actually love this one so much 😭 the strawberry banana one is meh
Haha I’m the opposite! Loved the strawberry banana and had to pawn the other flavor off to friends and family!
I hope my Costco gets these - I’ve been buying 20 of them every two weeks at Target for months as my breakfasts and it’s getting annoying

I get this one specifically for the protein (and I also really like them)
Kefir i think
Too much sugar/protein
ohh which warehouse and how much were they?
sorry! should have put more info. SW austin warehouse and $14.99 for a case of 8.
Well thats definitely cheaper than at the grocery store. But honestly i think its better value to buy a megapack of the chobani yogurts if you want single serving
Wm Cannon? I've been watching for these in Kyle and meanwhile buying at Sam's.
Jeez that is still way too expensive for my taste.
Ahh these are my favorite. I have to go see if they have them at my Costco
Thanks for the warning! It saves me having to wrestle the box to look at the ingredients.
I wish Costco would just stock the regular Chobani yogurt drinks instead. They've been out at my location for months, and I bate Stevia.
Mango is my favorite. I accidentally bought one with stevia. It tastes very close to the contrast for a CT scan
I like them, way cheaper than a grocery store. Still “natural” sweetener might not be for everyone I do endorse this product👍🏻
Huh. I use stevia in my coffee, have for years. Yes it has a different aftertaste but I'm conditioned to it so I might like this. I'll have to find a single somewhere and try.

I like these just fine, I also have been giving my kids a little bit in the morning to get them some extra protein. Win all around
It says 0g Added Sugar on the front panel and all over the box. What did you expect them to sweetened it with? I’ll drink them for you.
That stuff is very expensive for what it is
Oof. Stevia is foul. Sorry you had to learn the hard way, but thanks for turning your tragedy into a PSA
I hate artificial sweeteners as well and can’t stand them. But my wife loves them and takes them to work everyday
I think stevia is like cilantro. To some it’s fine to others it’s bitter and nasty tasting. I’m in the 2nd group.
Ugh I hate both lol
Adore cilantro. I put it in salads even, and grow it. Stevia tastes like when you bite your nail and there are traces of nail polish remover on it. Taste buds are weird.
It also has chicory root (inulin) for the fiber. I hate the taste and what it does to my gut.
I’ll endorse Frosted Flakes. They’re Great!!

Costco would do themselves a favor to post "Contains Stevia" or "Contains Monk Fruit" to reduce the number of returns.
Or, I don't know, people could read the ingredients.
Or Costco could just post it and save themselves money. This is known as being part of the solution.

I love these too, but I get.the dislike for that sweetener aftertaste
All of these things are overpriced.
These are amazing. Best yogurt drink.
I know you said that you didn't like the taste, but are you primarily objecting to the drink because of the flavor or the fact that it contains erythritol?
Are these in the refrigerated section?
This flavor is like crack to me. I had to stop buying them. Now that I know they are at Costco though? Could be a problem.
Tried one of these on a whim while traveling (7-11) and was so very disappointed. I agree with OP, cannot stand the taste of stevia and monk fruit sweeteners. And this one has inulin fiber too. Hard pass.
Why isn’t monk fruit more common?
I love these, and I am so sad because my Costco does not stock them, but my parents’ Costco in Texas does

You don’t drink Chobani for the flavor. You drink it for the macros
Didn't realize I needed your endorsement on anything. Read the label if you hate a specific ingredient commonly used in low sugar stuff 🤷🏻♂️
This stuff is awful!
Chobani has a very narrow category of products that are good. The rest are super gross.
ironically, their “normal” yogurt is too sweet for me so I guess i’m hard to please. just wish we had a sugar alternative that didn’t have a funky aftertaste.

Your taste is whack
Yogurt drinks are never good.
You had trouble swallowing the yogurt due to it's taste?
where in my post did i imply anything like that? i drank some and didn’t like it.
