Lifestyle Expert Bahar Takhtehchian is standing inside Chobani's first edible home in New York City. The incredible townhouse is kitted out with outstanding features such as a floor-to-ceiling living wall packed with delicious produce to a pool kitted out with a floating garden.

The dcor is inspired by non other than Chobani's first entre into the hummus aisle, Meze Dips.

Meze Dips Tips

"These Meze Dips are incredible," says Takhtehchian. "They're made with fully natural, non-GMO ingredients and they come in four incredible flavors including Chili Lime, Three Pepper Salsa, Roasted Red Pepper and Smoked Onion Parmesan." Enjoy them with everything from vegetables to crackers to chips.

An added bonus: They have 85% less fat and 65% fewer calories than the leading hummus brand. "What I love about these Meze Dips is that they're inspired by Chobani's motto of 'Making Food Better.' But this time they're doing that with real ingredients," she says.

And they won't break the bank! The dips are available for about $3.99 in the deli aisle--this is the first time that Chobani is stepping outside of the yogurt aisle. "I really love the fact that they have bold, creamy flavor. All of your guests are really going to love it," says the expert.

Buffet Away

Two final tips from Takhtehchian. "Have buffet-style parties which are a little more casual. My tip here is to separate the food table from the beverage table. That way you won't create a bottleneck situation. Also make sure to always have some great music. Use Pandora or Spotify and this way you're going to set the mood for a wonderful party."
