\"Yoplait<\/a><\/p>\n

Hey, guys. Listen. Seriously, listen. I have found a well-kept secret from the Mediterranean that you do not want to miss. I really think it’s going to be the next Big Thing.<\/p>\n

I can feel you quivering with anticipation, so I won’t drag it out: it’s Greek yogurt.<\/p>\n

Wait, what? Greek yogurt has already gained mainstream popularity and has inundated the country’s supermarket dairy sections? How was I supposed to know that? Okay, well keep listening, because here’s the twist: there’s now Greek frozen<\/i> yogurt.<\/p>\n

Oh, that’s not new either? Where did you hear that? Oh, maybe it was here<\/a>. Or here<\/a>. Or here<\/a>. Or here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sigh. The saying is true; there is nothing new under the sun.<\/p>\n

But hey, these Yoplait Greek Frozen Yogurt Bars are<\/i> different. They’re new! And they’re made by Yoplait! I’ve trusted Yoplait for all my yogurt needs since I was a youth. Plus, they taught me about the silent \u201ct\u201d well before Stephen Colbert came on the scene.<\/p>\n

A brief refresher course on Greek yogurt: it is also called strained yogurt, because, um…it’s been strained. Specifically, they squuuuueeeze out the whey, leaving a substance that is thicker than your average yogurt, yet still rich in flavor but lower in sugar and carbs.<\/p>\n

Yoplait Greek Frozen Yogurt Bars also come in Raspberry, Peach, and Strawberry Banana, but I chose the Honey Caramel variety because, in addition to never having tried Greek frozen yogurt, I’ve also never tried anything honey caramel-flavored. In fact, I’ve never even seen<\/i> anything honey caramel-flavored before this.<\/p>\n

Now I’m paranoid that there’s some honey caramel craze out there that I’m not aware of. I’m going to look like a pretty big idiot making fun of Greek yogurt at the beginning of this review when honey caramel has taken over store shelves and I haven’t even noticed. Maybe I’m in the dark, like Winnie the Pooh with his head stuck in the honey pot. Or a beehive. Man, that bear was stupid. I don’t want to be Winnie-the-Pooh stupid.<\/p>\n

Right off the bat, the box of Yoplait’s Greek Frozen Yogurt Bars wants to hit me over the head with healthy boasts like \u201c2x the protein of regular frozen yogurt\u201d, \u201conly natural flavors\u201d, and \u201clive and active cultures\u201d.<\/p>\n

I’ve always been kind of creeped out by yogurt’s live and active cultures, but I figure it’s better than dead and inactive cultures, or even undead cultures. Oh sure, everyone expects the zombie apocalypse to come from some sort of virus or science experiment gone wrong, but nobody suspects the yogurt<\/i>.<\/p>\n

…Yeah, I’m definitely paranoid.<\/p>\n

\"Yoplait<\/a><\/p>\n

While I’ve never had frozen<\/i> Greek yogurt, I have had its refrigerated counterpart, so when I tried the Yoplait Honey Caramel bar, I was expecting the tartness that is the signature of Greek yogurt. I got that tartness, but it was more subtle, and also brought along a good friend – sweetness.<\/p>\n

\"Yoplait<\/a><\/p>\n

In fact, subtlety seems to be the word of the day for these yogurt bars. It was tart but not too tart and sweet but not cloyingly so. The caramel was delicious but not like eating a giant spoonful of the stuff. There was a hint of honey; that was one flavor that may have been a little too subtle, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.<\/p>\n

The yogurt was very smooth and creamy, and it held up very well as I ate it. No sticky hands here. I’m assuming the qualities of the yogurt \u2013 especially the Greek part \u2013 were responsible for it not melting down my hand.<\/p>\n

\"Yoplait<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m far, far from a health nut, but it’s hard not to notice that the daily value percentages under the nutritional facts are single digits across the board. These yogurt bars are good and good for you! Well, at the very least, they’re not very bad<\/i> for you.<\/p>\n

I find it interesting that all the things I liked the most about Yoplait Greek Frozen Yogurt Bars Honey Caramel could just as easily be construed as faults by someone with a different palate. \u201cNot sweet enough.\u201d \u201cNot tart enough.\u201d \u201cNot enough caramel.\u201d \u201cNot enough honey flavor.\u201d Oh wait, I actually said that one.<\/p>\n

Different strokes for different folks, as they say, and Yoplait stroked me the right way. Wait, that came out wrong. And it rhymed. Four times. You’re lucky you’re so tasty, Honey Caramel Yogurt Bars.<\/p>\n
