Review: Chobani flip Sriracha Mango Greek Yogurt

I mentioned in my most recent Chobani review that there were some peculiar flavors jumping off the shelves at me at the store.  Peculiar because they just seemed like odd combinations.  Well, today's container of this Chobani flip Sriracha Mango Greek Yogurt is another one of those seemingly peculiar flavor combinations.  Sweet and spicy or sweet and salty or all of the above...I'm not quite sure.  What I do know is Sriracha is spicy/hot and it seems odd to mix it with sweet mangoes.  What I also know is that this container is 5.3 ounces and has 190 calories and twelve grams of protein packed into it.  It's also all natural, kosher and vegetarian.  I think this one set me back about $1.25 at Kroger.

Review: Chobani flip Chipotle Pineapple Greek Yogurt

Every now and then, I encounter a product that just completely knocks me off guard.  Today's review is one of those products because I would have NEVER expected a Greek yogurt to have both chipotle and pineapple as the core flavors, especially a Chobani product since most of theirs that I've reviewed have been of the sweet variety.  And quite honestly, I was scared to grab this container of Chobani flip Chipotle Pineapple Greek Yogurt out of the dairy case (there's another one that is an even stranger combination that I'll review later).  I guess curiosity overpowered my fears though and that's why we are here today.  This container is packed with 5.3 ounces of Greek yogurt and mix-ins and has 190 calories and twelve grams of protein.

Review: Chobani flip Pumpkin Harvest Crisp Greek Yogurt

I believe that I've lamented on this blog about "Christmas Creep" before and perhaps even what I'm now going to dub as "Pumpkin Creep.".  Christmas Creep is when Christmas products start making it into the store WAY BEFORE Christmas.  Pumpkin-flavored products are starting to become that way too as some of them are starting to pop up before September 1st.  That's crazy to me.  Fall doesn't officially start until September 23rd.  I, like I'm sure a lot of people, don't really think about pumpkins until October due to Halloween.  Anyway, Chobani has joined this creep by rolling out a pumpkin themed Greek yogurt in a limited batch.  I got this container of  Chobani flip Pumpkin Harvest Crisp Greek Yogurt in early September, but I don't know how long it had been on the shelf before that.  I do know that this is the first time that I've noticed that their flip line of products has been shown as "flip" on the packaging, which is orange by the way to reflect pumpkin (Note:  upon perusal of prior Chobani reviews, I learned that this "flip" has been in effect for a bit and I'm just an unobservant moron).  I picked up this 5.3 ounce container at Meijer for $1.09 and packed within it's orangeness is 210 calories and 12 grams of all natural protein.

Review: Yoplait Whips! Cherry Cheesecake Yogurt

It's frequently hard for me to tell whether I've reviewed a product or not and instead of doing the proper thing (checking the website first), I rely on my memory to recall whether I've reviewed a product or not.  As I found out recently with a bunch of CLIF bars that I bought, that memory is often faulty and I ended up buying things that I have reviewed before.  Oops.  I ran into that situation recently when I went in to Marsh armed with a coupon for a free cup of Yoplait yogurt.  As I was perusing the yogurt case, I was unsure of what flavors I had reviewed before in my deep catalog of Yoplait reviews.  Even with that uncertainty in my head, I decided to take a game and hope that I had not reviewed this Yoplait Whips! Cherry Cheesecake Yogurt before.  Fortunately, I hadn't and here we are today.  Anyway, I picked up this Whips! (mousse-like yogurt) for free as I mentioned and the yogurt cup itself comes in at 4.0 ounces and has 140 calories with five grams of protein.

Review: Skinny Cow Triple Chocolate Ripple Low Fat Ice Cream Bars

I've been shying away from Skinny Cow product reviews because their flavors have gone stale and because their products are just too expensive to buy on a regular basis.  On a recent trip to Kroger, not only was I met with a sale but I was also met with some new flavors of products in their low fat ice cream bar line.  One of those products was this box of five Skinny Cow Triple Chocolate Ripple Low Fat Ice Cream Bars that I was able to pick up for $2.99 on sale, which is a pretty solid price for Skinny Cow products.  Typically, they run $4-5.  Anyway, each bar in the box is 2.65 fluid ounces and comes in at 170 calories per bar.

Review: Muller Dessert Inspired Strawberry Cheesecake Yogurt

Anyone that reads this blog even semi-regularly has probably figured out that I really like dessert.  I probably like it a bit too much actually.  So, when I see a normal food product that inspired by dessert, I get kind of excited.  I get especially excited if it's a somewhat healthy food product that is masquerading as dessert.  Yep, simple pleasures for a simple man, I guess.  Anyway, adding to my Muller review collection, I picked up this container of Muller Dessert Inspired Strawberry Cheesecake Yogurt on sale at Kroger for $1.00.  It's 5.3 ounces and packs in 200 calories and seven grams of protein.

Review: Muller Dessert Inspired Raspberry Brownie Supreme Yogurt

It seems like I've exhausted the yogurt category at most of my regular grocery stores (normal chains like Kroger, Meijer, etc.; I know there's a TON of other stuff at the niche chains like Fresh Market, etc.) and since that's where I do the overwhelming majority of my shopping, I love it when a new yogurt pops up.  That was the case with a couple of new Muller Dessert Inspired products that I spotted on a recent trip to Kroger.  Muller already has a line of Ice Cream inspired yogurts, so apparently they are going all out on dessert with this new line.  Those Ice Cream Inspired reviews got me intrigued for this Muller Dessert Inspired Raspberry Brownie Supreme Yogurt that I was able to pick up on sale for $1.00.  Each container is 5.3 ounces and has 210 calories with seven grams of protein.

Review: Yoplait Original Cookies 'n Cream Yogurt

Freebies will do funny things, especially free food freebies.  I've often been the victim of Kroger's Free Friday Download on this blog and I even get hit by Meijer occasionally as well.  For the first time, I got hit my Marsh and that's what ended up in today's review adding to my Yoplait review catalog as I grabbed this six ounce container of the new flavor Yoplait Original Cookies 'n Cream Yogurt out of the Marsh dairy case.  It's low fat and it clocked in with 170 calories and five grams of protein.

Review: La Chocolãt Strawberry with Dark Chocolate Chips Lowfat Yogurt

In my first La Chocolãt review, I mentioned that I was intrigued by the newness of the product but in the end, it kind of fell flat in terms of taste.  It was with that introduction to La Chocolãt that I dove into this second review with expectations that were fairly low due to my first experience.  Like last time, I picked this up at Kroger for $0.99 and each cup of La Chocolãt Strawberry with Dark Chocolate Chips Lowfat Yogurt comes in at 6.0 ounces.  That cup full of yogurt is then packed with 190 calories and seven grams of low fat protein.  It's also gluten free, kosher and loaded with probiotics.

Review: La Chocolãt Mint with Dark Chocolate Chips Lowfat Yogurt

Not to get all philosophical and deep here, but sometimes I walk through the supermarket and am just amazed by the product selection and the thought/effort that goes into getting so many products into a store.  Granted, distributors make it easier by selling things in bulk and coordinating a fair portion of the logistics, but it is still amazing.  I mention this because upon a recent perusal of one of my many local Kroger stores, I noticed yet another new (to me) product that had made its way to the refrigerator section with this cup of La Chocolãt Mint with Dark Chocolate Chips Lowfat Yogurt.  This 6.0 ounce cup was on sale for $0.99 and it packed in 200 calories and seven grams of protein.  It also had 1% milkfat, so I guess that just shows that there's going to be a bit of fat in this one.  On another note, it's also kosher and gluten free if you are interested in those types of things.

Review: Siggi's Skyr Coconut Icelandic-Style Yogurt

Today is not the first time that I've looked at a Siggi's yogurt products, so I'll spare the back story about why it's Icelandic, etc.  It is fairly interesting to learn though if you want to learn about a different method of making yogurt.  Anyway, I was wandering through my local Meijer recently and I noticed that they added a new Siggi's flavor to the dairy case at the store and that led me to pick up this single serving cup of Siggi's Skyr Coconut Icelandic-Style Yogurt for $1.50.  Each cup is 5.3 ounces and has 170 calories and thirteen grams of protein.  In my prior reviews, I've found Siggi's yogurt to be extremely creamy, but essentially flavorless.  I'm hoping that's not the case again today.

Review: Stonyfield Organic Petite Creme Mon Cherry Amour Low Fat Sweet Fresh Cheese

Today's review is a big moment in the Stonyfield Organic Petite Creme review history.  It's one of the last flavors that I've actually seen in my store and it's also the one that I've been looking most forward to because of what the flavor actually is consists of (black cherry).  So, it was with a high sense of anticipation and eagerness that I grabbed this single serving container of Stonyfield Organic Petite Creme Mon Cherry Amour Low Fat Sweet Fresh Cheese out of the dairy case at my local Meier for $1.25.  This 5.3 ounce container comes in at 130 calories and packs in ten grams of protein into its cheese.

Review: Chobani Apricot on the Bottom 2% Greek Yogurt

Perhaps I'm blind, but I've never noticed a Chobani product before that has the fruit on the bottom so blatantly advertised and heaven knows that I've reviewed a lot of them.  So, having never noticed that before (or perhaps it's new?), I picked up my first look at one of these types of products at Kroger recently on sale for $1.00.  This 5.3 ounce cup of Chobani Apricot on the Bottom 2% Greek Yogurt comes in at 140 calories and has a hearty eleven grams of protein.  It's also all natural, gluten free and kosher, if those are things that you are looking for when shopping for food products.

Review: Stonyfield Organic Petite Creme Ooh Lala Peach Low Fat Sweet Fresh Cheese

It's kind of amusing to me that when I find a new product, I just plow through as many variations of that product as I can find in a short period.  That's definitely the case with these Stonyfield Organic Petite Creme products as I've just been making my way through each of their flavors in prior reviews.  My quest to review everything continues today as I take a look at yet another flavor of this product line with this Stonyfield Organic Petite Creme Ooh Lala Peach Low Fat Sweet Fresh Cheese that I picked up at Kroger for $1.00.  It's 5.3 ounces and has 130 calories and ten grams of protein in this single serving cup of cheese.  Yep, cheese.  I still can't get over that one.  Anyway, it's also gluten free in case you were wondering.

Review: Stonyfield Organic Petite Creme La Vie En Strawberry Low Fat Sweet Fresh Cheese

I shared in my last Stonyfield review that the fact that the container was sweet fresh cheese and not some sort of yogurt (Greek or otherwise) kind of surprised me as I didn't notice it when I bought it.  It wasn't bad, the fact that I was eating cheese kind of shocked me.  So, without that element of surprise, today's review of this single serving cup Stonyfield Organic Petite Creme La Vie En Strawberry Low Fat Sweet Fresh Cheese starts out with me knowing what I'm walking myself into, which is always nice.  I was able to pick this one up for $1.25 at Meijer and each cup is 5.3 ounces with 130 calories and ten grams of CHEESE protein.  Now, I don't speak French, but it is a Latin-based language and I did take three years of Spanish in high school, so I can at least parse my way through the name of this product to see that this basically means "Life in Strawberry."  Umm, okay...kind of a bizarre tagline, but if it's good, I guess the name doesn't really matter (unless you are Ben & Jerry's changing the name of an AWESOME product like they did by changing "Clusterfluff" to "What A Cluster...").

Review: Stonyfield Organic Belle Blueberry Petite Creme Low Fat Sweet Fresh Cheese

As I've been writing these posts recently, it seems like I've been hitting on a lot of what I'll call the "greatest hits", meaning that they are manufacturers that I reviewed somewhat frequently in the past but have stayed away from recently because I haven't been able to find that many new products or flavors that interest me.  Stonyfield Organic is one of those manufacturers as I haven't touched on one of their products since February 2014 and it was as far back as May 2012 before that.  Upon some recent browsing at Meijer, I saw that they've introduced a new line of products in their Petite Creme line.  What makes this line of products interesting is that while they may look like yogurt and be sitting next to the yogurts in your local store, they are not in fact yogurt.  They are actually modeled a French cheese that silky and eaten just like yogurt (yes, I had to look this up).  That seemed kind of odd and intersting to me, so I picked up several of these Petite Cremes on my Meijer trip for $1.25 each and this Stonyfield Organic Belle Blueberry Petite Creme Low Fat Sweet Fresh Cheese comes in at 5.3 ounces with 130 calories and ten grams of protein.

Review: Chobani Watermelon Blended 2% Greek Yogurt

I remember when I first started this blog nearly three years ago (three years at the end of this month!) that Chobani was kind of the little engine that could of the Greek yogurt world.  They were getting write-ups in various business magazines like Bloomberg, Forbes, etc. about how they were this small company trying to take on the monsters of the world like Dannon.  Just knowing that background made my reviews of them that much more interesting (to me).  Now, nearly three years later, they are no longer the little engine that could and are one of the leaders of the Greek yogurt industry as the big guys have started lining up to compete with them and also some other little guys have joined the fray to become the next Chobani.  Anyway, they've gotten so big now that they've introduced limited batches and today's review is another one of those summer-related limited batches (which means it'll be gone soon) in this Chobani Watermelon Blended 2% Greek Yogurt that I found at Target for $1.19.  This 5.3 ounce cup is all natural, gluten free and has 140 calories with twelve grams of protein.

Review: Yasso Coconut Frozen Greek Yogurt Bars

I always see coupons for Yasso Greek frozen yogurt bars in my digital coupon apps and I always clip them with the intention of buying them so that I can give them a shot.  What always happens though is that when I get to the store and see the price (even including the coupon), I am almost automatically turned off because I don't want to pay that much for four bars.  On a recent trip to Kroger, I was armed with the same $1.00 off coupon and when I saw that these Yasso Coconut Frozen Greek Yogurt Bars on sale for $3.00 per box ($2.00 after coupon), I knew that then was the time to finally pick up a box for a review.  Before I dive into the review, I should point out that each bar in this box comes in at 3.5 fluid ounces and each has a very economical and belly friendly 80 calories.  Being that these are Greek yogurt based, this also packs a respectable six grams of protein along with it.  It's also all natural, so yippee!

Review: MyOatmeal.com Pumpkin Spice PB Lean

I've mentioned in previous reviews that MyOatmeal.com was kind enough to send me a promo code to try out some of their products and I picked up several of them to try out.  I have to admit though, of all the products that I picked out, today's review of this 1.5 pound bag of MyOatmeal.com Pumpkin Spice PB Lean was the one that I was looking forward to the least and I'm not quite sure why either.  I typically am fascinated and enjoy pumpkin-flavored products, but for some reason, mixing pumpkin spice with peanut butter seemed horrifying to me.  Not sure why, but it just did.  Anyway, this bag had 48+ servings at fourteen grams each and each serving had 57 calories.

Review: MyOatmeal.com Vanilla Frosting PB Lean

For whatever reason over the past few months, I've developed an absurd obsession with cake.  Most people like cake and I always have too, but for some unknown reason, I've developed a NEED for cake at least once or twice a week.  I often stop at my local grocery store and buy a slice of whatever cake they have on the shelf that is available.  Thankfully I haven't gotten as far to buy a whole cake yet and hopefully that day will never come.  So, when MyOatmeal.com sent me a promo code to try out some of the products on their website as I mentioned in a prior review, the fact that they have a flavor named MyOatmeal.com Vanilla Frosting PB Lean was right up my alley.  This 1.5 pound package of powdered peanut butter contains 48+ servings at fourteen grams each and each serving is 57 calories.
