REVIEW LIGHTNING ROUND (YOGURT EDITION) – 7/4/2013

Here are some quick reviews of new-ish yogurt we’re too lazy to write full reviews for:

Quaker Müller Greek Corner Lowfat Yogurt with Blackberry & Raspberry Review

Purchased Price: $1.00 (on sale)
Size: 5.3 oz. container
Purchased at: Safeway
Rating: 8 out of 10
Pros: Berry portion was like a thick, delicious jam. Big chunks of real fruit. Blackberry and raspberry make a great tart combo. Tartness goes great with tangy Greek yogurt.
Cons: Seeds got stuck in my teeth. Would have worked just as well as a “fruit on the bottom” yogurt. May be too tart for someone looking for a sweet yogurt. Yogurt was pretty boring without the fruit.

Chobani Greek Yogurt Flip Key Lime Crumble Review

Purchased Price: $1.25 (on sale)
Size: 5.3 oz. container
Purchased at: Safeway
Rating: 6 out of 10
Pros: Lime yogurt is a nice balance of tart and sweet. Graham crumbles add texture. Graham flavor mixes well with lime yogurt for key lime pie effect. Crumbles don’t get immediately soggy.
Cons: Some graham crumbles were less crunchy and more hard. White chocolate chips disappear under the other flavors and add nothing. Too many graham crumbs instead of crumbles. Fun concept but flawed execution.

Dannon Oikos Dips French Onion Yogurt Dip Review

Purchased Price: $3.00 (on sale)
Size: 12 oz. container
Purchased at: Safeway
Rating: 5 out of 10
Pros: Greek yogurt adds some twang. Has texture of dip as opposed to dipping a chip in yogurt. Healthier than some other big-brand pre-made french onion dips. Little onion bits add to French onion dip feel. Has a nice hint of garlic.
Cons: Greek yogurt just can’t replace sour cream as a good French onion dip base. Could have used stronger onion flavor. Yogurt left an odd taste for a dip. Seriously missed the sour cream flavor.
