Here are some quick reviews of new-ish frozen products we’re too lazy to write full reviews for:<\/i><\/p>\n

\"Ha?agen-Dazs<\/a><\/p>\n

Item:<\/b> Ha?agen-Dazs Stracciatella Gelato
\nPurchased Price:<\/b> $2.99 (on sale+coupon)
\nSize:<\/b> 14 oz.
\nPurchased at:<\/b> Safeway
\nRating:<\/b> 7 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> Delightful. Easier to scoop than regular H\u00e4agen-Dazs ice cream. Smooth gelato. Lots of chocolaty shavings made with cocoa butter; it looks like it was in a chocolate hailstorm.Fun name to say<\/a>.
\nCons:<\/b> It doesn’t really taste that much different than ice cream. Chocolaty shaving are like speed bumps as you try to enjoy the smooth gelato. Looks and tastes like this ice cream.<\/a> Name also sounds like an expensive violin and a throat infection. Only 14 ounces.
\nNutrition Facts:<\/b> 1\/2 cup – 270 calories, 120 calories from fat, 13 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 90 milligrams of cholesterol, 40 milligrams of sodium, 34 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 25 grams of sugar, and 4 grams of protein.

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

Item:<\/b> Ben & Jerry’s Liz Lemon Greek Frozen Yogurt
\nPurchased Price:<\/b> FREE (I had a coupon)
\nSize:<\/b> 1 pint
\nPurchased at:<\/b> Target
\nRating:<\/b> 7 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> More of a sweet lemon than tart. Nice lemon aroma. Lemon Greek frozen yogurt and blueberry swirl go well together. Thank goodness it wasn’t only lemon. Easy to scoop. The addition of lavender sounds gross, but it gives the flavor a little something, something.
\nCons:<\/b> Although made with lemon oil, it has an almost artificial lemon flavor. Doesn’t contain live and active cultures. 30 Rock<\/i> no longer on the air. Blerg! Thankfully, it’s not Lutz’s Lemon.
\nNutrition Facts:<\/b> 1\/2 cup – 180 calories, 40 calories from fat, 4.5 grams of fat, 2.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 30 milligrams of cholesterol, 70 milligrams of sodium, 29 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 21 grams of sugar, and 6 grams of protein.

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

Item:<\/b> Ben & Jerry’s Pineapple Passionfruit Greek Frozen Yogurt
\nPurchased Price:<\/b> FREE (I had a coupon)
\nSize:<\/b> 1 pint
\nPurchased at:<\/b> Target
\nRating:<\/b> 8 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> It’s really Greekin’ good. Passionfruit pretty much overwhelms the pineapple, which is fine with me because I enjoy passionfruit. Smooth, creamy, and easy to scoop. Tastes like I’m in Hawaii\u2026oh wait, I’m already in Hawaii.
\nCons:<\/b> Could use more pineapple chunks. Pineapple lovers might be upset with its mild pineapple flavor. Doesn’t contain live and active cultures. Hugging pineapples.
\nNutrition Facts:<\/b> 1\/2 cup – 180 calories, 35 calories from fat, 4 grams of fat, 2.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 30 milligrams of cholesterol, 65 milligrams of sodium, 30 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 26 grams of sugar, and 5 grams of protein.
