We know that organic Oikos powers people through both workdays and workouts. We know that Oikos is great for a post-meeting jolt of energy–or recovery after a long run. We know that the protein keeps you going strong and the probiotics help to keep your gut healthy (not to mention, the lack of pesticides keep the power pure!).
But what we don’t know, and are super curious to find out, is just how far Oikos fuel can go. Will it last through a 10k? A 26.2 mile marathon? 100-mile bike ride? How about through a 298-mile, six state, eight day, running-kayaking-biking-Boston Marathoning-skydiving excursion?
We’re about to find out!
Say hello to The Epic Man…and then tell us how Oikos fuels you and you’ll be entered to win a month of FREE Oikos and a Stonyfield fleece.
“Always Be Epic” – That is the take-home message from Epic Man founding members Seth Bradbury and Will Thomas. What started as an adventure between friends has grown into a team of inspiring Epic Man participants. This April, the Epic Man Team will challenge themselves through fitness, lifestyle, culture, and inspiration and Oikos will be there to fuel them!
For one Epic week, from Monday April 10th through the end of Boston Marathon Monday, April 18th, the Epic Man Team will run, bike, swim, kayak, and skydive through 6 states and over 298 miles. They will challenge themselves, inspire others, and raise money for charity. You can even meet up with Oikos and the Epic Man Team along the route!
And if you aren’t able Paint New York Epic, join in a Fun Run, or raise money for charity on a Brunch Cruise with the Epic Man Team, you can follow their story alongside us – on the Oikos Facebook page. We’ll be posting pictures, videos, links, and stories from the Epic Man Adventure. We’ll see just what Oikos and some Epic everyday individuals can really do.
So, pull out a cup of Oikos, get ready for a wild ride, and start your engines by entering our contest…tell us:
HOW DOES OIKOS FUEL YOU TO BE EPIC?
oikos and epic man belong together
Oikos helps me be epic by giving me the energy I need to teach a classroom full of energetic elementary school kids.
Epic man- I’m jealous! I bike to work each day (15 miles) to save…well you know, the earth, gas, money, and keep me healthy…and Oikos is my staple.
I’ve had Crohn’s disease (affects the bowels) for 3 years now, and Oikos has become an important part of keeping my gut happy and my condition stable. Go epic bacteria!
Go Epic Man! I’m 60 and I walk 6-8 miles a day, thanks in part to the power of Oikos. I enjoy one every day after my hikes.
My mother passed away from complications of osteoporosis at age 48. Oikos helps me be epic by giving me the calcium I know I need!
My wife and I both love Oikos. It helps me be epic by providing me with lots of protein to get me through my long teaching days.
I’m a vegetarian, and LOVE Oikos greek yogurt for extra protein! Would LOVE it even more if it was FREE
I was in an auto accident last year and suffered multiple fractures. My wife brought me Stonyfield Oikos yogurt every day while I was hospitalized. I managed to avoid having a pin placed in my arm and last week x-rays showed that my arm had fully healed, much to the delight of both me and my doctor.
love the thick texture of your oikos yougurt and fuels me every morning with some homemade granola or baked oatmeal on top. You need to put healty fiber and yogurt to start the day. This give me the right start to the day or the boost before a hike or run.
Since I’m a mosta-vegetarian, Oikos is one of my go-to sources of protein and calcium. I eat it on cereal, all by itself and as a dip, as well as a substitute for sour cream. It’s incredibly versatile and helps fuel my non-stop activity and (I hope) growing muscles! Oikos. It does a body good.
I love starting my day right with protien and my kids as well. We need the fuel when we do an epic bike trip in a few weeks.
As a health care professional, I need a quality protein source for energy while low in calories & fat to keep me trim. Oikos fits the bill & lasts through my long days of home visits without refrigeration. It amazes people that a 50+ man with a broken back can maintain my arduous pace while providing quality care.
I love oikos. It’s better than ice cream. I eat it everyday. It’s the highlight of my day. I feel I died and went to heaven. It’s like eating the food of the Gods!!!
My unbelievable 85 year Mom was recently struck down with back fractures. The pain was so bad it caused her not to be at all hungry. After I introduced her to Oikos Blueberry she started to eat more, regained her strength and is now going to have a quick procedure which will help her have a more active life. I am a Stoneyfield girl and have now switched to Oikos as well. It has more protein, less carbs and it will be fueling me up for my 42 mile, 5 Boro ride thru NYC on May 1! We both now eat an Oikos every day. That’s the power of Oikos!

Oikos Plain Greek Yogurt is my snack of choice everyday along with a healthy fruit & my homemade almond or peanut butter – which I grind thru my Champion juicer. The creamy texture, no fat, high protein, high calcium & healthy Live Active Cultures makes this yogurt a no brainer snack. Plus I have eaten the plain for so long that I can’t eat any of the flavored yogurts as they are too sweet for me.
Everyone needs to try Oikos to see just how great it is.
GO Epic Man !!
I’m vegetarian so I love that I can get my protein in such a delicious and non-fattening way. It fuels my bike rides and gym trips. I love to have it with honey or fresh fruit. I keep a stash at work for an afternoon pick-up instead if coffee.
I am a surgical resident and feel tired ALL THE TIME! My sister recently asked me to train to do a half marathon with her. After working 80 hours a week it is very difficult for me to find the time and energy to go out for a run. I recently have discovered Oikos yogurt and I love it. I will have the plain flavor with brown rice, black beans & cumin for lunch after a morning run, or the vanilla flavor with mixed berries after an afternoon run. It is a treat either way and gives me the protein and energy I need to stay active despite the busy schedule
Thank you Oikos!
A few months ago, I was in a car accident that restricted my physical activity. Oikos helps to fuel my strength training without added fat (which is important since my physical activity has dwindled). AND it tastes amazing!
Oikos Greek Vanilla yogurt is an important part of my diet because it is power packed with protien and calcium that helps build strong bones and muscle. It is what I use as part of my recovery snacks after I workout. I am very active and believe in eating a natural, nutritious diet and Oikos fits into that lifestyle perfectly! Thank you Oikos!
I just discovered Oikos yogurt. I love the taste and texture of Oikos! I can’t believe it’s fat free. Personally, it’s wonderful to have a delicious and healthy yogurt option to keep me going and on track with my healthy eating plan. As a chef and food consultant, Oikos makes my life easier — I wholeheartedly recommend it and know that my family, friends and clients will love it, too.
Oikos powers me through my night time workouts. It rebuilds my body after working hard. Most of all it is my dessert so I don’t crave empty calories. I LOVE Greek yogurt with granola and fresh strawberries!! High protein and low carb deliciousness!!
Oikos fuels me in my no sugar added fruit and greens smoothies – to do whatever my day has in store – horse riding, biking, hiking, running!
Oikos fuels me with great protein that helps curb my appetite. It is too easy to reach for great tasting Oikos in place of other less healthy choices. Besides, I need something to keep me fueled while encouraging seventh grade science classes to stay engaged and to keep on learning!
I’m a full-time mom, and eating Stonyfield yogurt (Plain yogurt with some fruit and muesli is the best) has been a part of my diet for years. I’ve just discovered Oikos, and I love it! But Epic? That’s my kids. They will be cycling across the country this summer – LA to Virginia – to raise money for C.S. Mott Childrens Hospital in Ann Arbor, MI. My job is to supply them with the right nutrition for the 80 – 100 mile ride each day, and Oikos, with its calcium and extra protein punch, will be a healthy and tasty part of their diet.
A cup of Oikos at work for lunch keeps me going at work. I have a job where I am on my feet all day and Oikos gives me the strength to keep going and give each customer my best.
This may not seem epic, but for me, it really is! It’s hard for me to get motivated to exercise, but I finally found a routine that gets me to exercise every day (unheard of!). I LOVE Oikos with a sprinkle of Kashi cereal. I feel like I’m eating dessert, and I eat one everyday. I made a deal with myself that I could not eat my Oikos until I have exercised. And for 6 months now, I have walked for 3 miles EVERY DAY. Now that’s the power of Oikos!
Hello, Epic Man! Oikos fuels me mentally and physically everyday. I know I’m putting something healthy in my body, so I feel better about myself. It motivates me to exercise and get outside. When I’m done working out, I can always count on and look forward to a healthy treat.
Oikos is fueling me through a healthy pregnancy, giving my diet an extra daily boost of organic protein that I absolutely crave (delicious!). I am six months pregnant and about to run a five-mile road race on Sunday. Thanks for helping me stay fit and healthy to give my little girl a great start!
Fuels me to be the ultimate Multitasker! Just one cup of Oikos keeps me energized all day to run errands, volunteer at a homeless shelter, get the kids to school, feed the dog, grocery shop, and have dinner on the table by 5pm! Keeps this mom in tip top shape for anything that comes her way.
