Sophie Yogurt Expands Into Western US Markets

New York, NY – Sophie Yogurt Company, Inc., maker of premium, artisanal, no sugar added Greek yogurt, announced today that the brand is expanding its store retail distribution reach into several west coast states, as well as across the nation online via Amazon.com . Sophie Yogurt is available in seven nutritious and unique flavors: Vanilla Bean, Blueberry Cobbler, Chocolate, Strawberries & Cream, Banana Cream Pie, Caramel and Plain. It is the first Greek yogurt introduced to the market without added sugar.

With no artificial sweeteners or preservatives and 16 grams of protein, Sophie Yogurt is a rich fuel for the body and decadent alternative to clean protein choices such as plain egg whites or water based tuna. The yogurt is strained in the Greek tradition using grass-fed milk, concentrating the essential nutrients for one’s body needs. Sophie’s Yogurt is rBGH-free, Kosher and virtually lactose free, a great option for women and men of all ages including expecting mothers, children and those with dietary restrictions like diabetes.

Sophie Pachella founded the business with a background in nutrition and fitness. She sought after guilt-free snacks that stayed true to their nutrition and ingredient labels. When she surprisingly found nothing on the market she was comfortable recommending to clients she took matters into her own hands by crafting her own Greek yogurt recipe at home in her kitchen.

“My team believes in fulfilling the body’s cravings with delicious and wholesome choices,” said Founder of Sophie Yogurt, Sophie Pachella. “We developed this yogurt because there were simply no alternatives on the market. Being able to partner with West Coast retailers, like Whole Foods Market is a tremendous honor. We look forward to introducing a wholesome, clean option among the sea of available yogurts their customers can trust,” added Pachella.

The brand is distributed by United Natural Foods Inc. and can be found in Whole Foods and other natural and specialty food store locations in Northern California. In an exciting recent development, it is now also available for online ordering via Amazon.com.

The distinctively delicious flavors such as Chocolate and Banana Cream Pie are coupled with the more traditional fruit and vanilla flavors and offer a variety of options for the shopper. Each cup is 5.3 oz. with retails in the $2.19 to $2.39 range. Sophie Yogurt is also available on the East Coast in stores such as ShopRite, Fairway Market, Fresh Direct, Kings, and Dave’s Marketplace.
