Review: Dannon Oikos Triple Zero Mixed Berry Blended Greek Yogurt

Have I missed some sort of revolt against yogurt companies that people are declaring that they want room to put their own toppings in yogurt cups.  Today's review, another Dannon product, clearly states on the packaging that there is room for toppings in the container.  This isn't the first time that I've seen this from this manufacturer or other manufacturers either.  I know food manufacturing is a follow-the-leader type of game with everyone settling on the same themes, flavors, etc.  Could this room for toppings thing be the next big thing?  I have no idea.  Anyway, I picked up this 5.3 ounce cup of Dannon Oikos Triple Zero Mixed Berry Blended Greek Yogurt at Meijer for $0.88.  It's packed with 120 calories and a surprising fifteen grams of protein, all in a cute nonfat package (with room for toppings!).

Review: Dannon Oikos Traditional Piña Colada Greek Yogurt

So, I like sales.  I really, really like sales.  That should come as no surprise to anyone that has spend any sort of time reading this blog.  If you are new to the blog, you now know that I really, really like sales.  Anyway, sale at Meijer recently prompted me to pick up this limited edition cup of Dannon Oikos Traditional Piña Colada Greek Yogurt (it's so limited it doesn't even have a spot on their website) on sale for $0.88.  It's a spin on the summer-ish (or perhaps just tropical) cocktail and since I love cocktails, I knew this would be right up my alley.  The cup itself comes in at 5.3 ounces and has 160 calories with eleven grams of protein.  This adds to my already expansive Dannon collection and while a lot of them are boring flavors that I've looked at just because they are in the diary case, this one actually kind of intrigues/excites me for some reason.

Review: Dannon Oikos Triple Zero Coconut Créme Blended Greek Yogurt

As I type this review this morning, I see on Twitter that a Dannon competitor (Yoplait) has had a truck wreck on one of the local Indianapolis interstates and there are countless smashed/spilled cups of Yoplait yogurt spread all over the side of the road.  Seeing that kind of makes me giggle as I type this review.  Anyway, today I embark on another Dannon review as I'm taking a look at a Dannon product line that has been out for a while that I've just been too lazy to get to as I look at this cup of Dannon Oikos Triple Zero Coconut Créme Blended Greek Yogurt.  I picked this up at Meijer in a pretty good sale for $0.88 and each cup is the standard 5.3 ounces.  Within that 5.3 ounces of Greek yogurt is 120 calories and fifteen grams of protein.  Since it is "Triple Zero", that means that it is sugar free, fat free and has no artificial sweeteners.  It's also the official yogurt of the National Football League (home of deflated balls).  Hooray for you if that kind of stuff impacts whether you purchase a product or not.

Review: Dannon Oikos Traditional Pumpkin Pie Greek Yogurt

You know a flavor profile has run its course and become overplayed when even the slow-moving behemoth manufacturers like Dannon are starting to make products of that flavor.  Usually, the smaller manufacturers that can make things and re-tool faster are the ones that make something popular and then the behemoths come in and ruin it for everyone.  Well, that's at least my fear and was my fear when I saw a product that could add another Dannon review  (and another pumpkin product) to the blog with this limited edition (of course) single serving cup of Dannon Oikos Traditional Pumpkin Pie Greek Yogurt that I picked up at Marsh for $1.09.  This cup comes in at the usual 5.3 ounces and has 170 calories with eleven grams of protein.

Review: Dannon Oikos Traditional Apple Pie Greek Yogurt

So I think we can all agree that if there is a dessert that is closely tied with America, it is Apple Pie.  With that, looking at today's review source is moderately amusing to me.  It's a classic American dessert matched with a Greek yogurt manufactured by a French company.  Huh?  Well, I suppose it can be said that this is the United Nations of products.  Anyway, today is another Dannon review as I take a look at this multi-cultural single serving cup of Dannon Oikos Traditional Apple Pie Greek Yogurt that I picked up at Kroger for $1.00.  It's 5.3 ounces and within that is 170 calories and eleven grams of protein.  What is also interesting about this is that the labeling specifically says "With Room For Toppings", so Dannon is definitely encouraging people to doctor this one.  I'm not sure whether that is a good or bad sign.

Review: Dannon Oikos Chocolate On Top Chocolate Covered Strawberry Greek Yogurt

I often have a dirty mind.  When I see the name of today's product that adds to my Dannon review history, I can only think of one thing because of that dirty mind.  If you also have a remotely dirty mind, you know what I'm thinking of.  If you don't know what I'm thinking of, that's probably a good thing because it means you are a decent person.  I'm also not going to spell it out for you because I don't want to be responsible for sullying your mind.  Anyway, those dirty thoughts aside, I picked up this 5.3 ounce single serving cup of Dannon Oikos Chocolate On Top Chocolate Covered Strawberry Greek Yogurt on sale at Kroger for $1.00 and it's 210 calories with ten grams of protein.

Review: Dannon Oikos Chocolate On Top Raspberry Truffle Greek Yogurt

I will admit that while I eat a lot of sweets (more than I'd like), I don't spend a lot of time eating the finer sweets like truffles, macaroons, etc. even though I do enjoy most of them.  With that, I found it particularly interesting when I was perusing the dairy case at my local Kroger that I spotted a single serving cup of Greek yogurt that was patterning itself after one of those finer sweets with is 5.3 ounce serving of Dannon Oikos Chocolate On Top Raspberry Truffle Greek Yogurt.  Immediately intrigued, I snapped up this Dannon review subject on sale for $1.00 and within the seemingly decadent "healthy" treat were 210 calories and ten grams of protein.

Review: Dannon Oikos Caramel On Top Caramel Macchiato Greek Yogurt

I think I've mentioned in previous coffee-flavored product reviews that when it comes to trips to Starbucks or any other type of coffee shop, I'm pretty boring and usually just get the standard coffee.  Because of that, I don't think I've ever had a caramel macchiato drink in my life.  I've had food products that have that flavor profile that I've reviewed here, but never the actual drink itself.  So, with that basis (or lack thereof depending on how you look at it), today takes me to another Dannon review with this look at a 5.3 ounce cup of Dannon Oikos Caramel On Top Caramel Macchiato Greek Yogurt that I picked up on sale at Kroger for $1.00.  Each cup is 210 calories and ten grams of protein.

Review: Dannon Oikos Black Cherry Frozen Greek Yogurt

Sometimes a product comes out and doesn't excite me at all, so I never end up buying it.  What is funny is that something as simple as a coupon can all of a sudden excite me and get me to want to purchase something, especially when I can mix that coupon with a sale.  That's what leads me to another Dannon Oikos review as this time I'll be taking a look at a pint of their Dannon Oikos Black Cherry Frozen Greek Yogurt that I was able to pick up on sale at Kroger for $3.00 (before coupon).  This is the first time I've looked at one of their frozen yogurt products and each pint contains the typical four half-cup servings and each serving is a respectable 150 calories of six gram packed protein.

Review: Dannon Oikos Traditional Cafe Latte Greek Yogurt

I have mentioned many times before on this blog that I love freebies.  The fact that Kroger now has a Free Friday Download via their store app plays right into that and one of those free downloads led to today's review of this cup of Dannon Oikos Traditional Cafe Latte Greek Yogurt.  I'm a coffee drinker, but not much of a coffee-flavored food product guy, so I knew this one would be interesting going in and it adds to my growing list of reviews from the Oikos Traditional line.  Still, it's free and that alone makes me want to try it.  Anyway, this cup of single serving Greek yogurt weighs in at 5.3 ounces and has 160 calories and eleven grams of protein.

Review: Dannon Oikos Fruit on the Bottom Apricot Mango Greek Yogurt

I mentioned in two prior Dannon Oikos reviews that I went on a purchase binge at my local Marsh and purchased a trio of Oikos products for review.  The first two reviews were of the Traditional Greek yogurt variety, but today's is of the "Fruit on the Bottom" variety, so it's a little different.  Anyway, I grabbed this single serving cup of Dannon Oikos Fruit on the Bottom Apricot Mango Greek Yogurt at the same sale price of $1.00 just like the others and each cup is 5.3 ounces with 130 calories and twelve grams of protein.  It's also non-fat, so that's fun.

Review: Dannon Oikos Traditional Key Lime Greek Yogurt

I mentioned in my last Dannon review that it was my first time trying out one of their Oikos Traditional products and since I'm a binge purchaser, I of course picked up several of these at one time for reviews.  That binge purchase leads me to another dessert inspired Greek yogurt product with this single serving cup of Dannon Oikos Traditional Key Lime Greek Yogurt that I picked up on sale at Marsh for $1.00.  Each cup is 5.3 ounces and this one had 160 calories and eleven grams of protein.

Review: Dannon Oikos Traditional Lemon Meringue Greek Yogurt

I've reviewed a lot of Dannon yogurts on this blog and have also reviewed quite a few of the Oikos line of Greek yogurts as well, although I don't know that I've ever done one of the "Traditional" Oikos flavors, so today's review is a first.  With that said, I picked up this 5.3 ounce single serving cup of Dannon Oikos Traditional Lemon Meringue Greek Yogurt at Marsh for $1.00.  Each cup has 170 calories and eleven grams of protein.

Review: Stonyfield Organic Oikos Chocolate Pure Pleasure 0% Greek Yogurt

I've dropped hints on the blog before that I work in internet marketing as my real job.  The reason I bring this up again is that my job specifically is to work with Google/Yahoo/Bing to make sure that my company is bidding on the proper search keywords to show up in each search engine's paid advertisement listings.  Anyway, when I look at the name of this Stonyfield product, I get a chuckle because I can just imagine some pervert looking for the search term of "pure pleasure on the bottom" or some variation and then their search results coming up with my review in the results even though that is not what they intended at all.  Anyway, maybe I only find that funny, but it did provide some amusement for me on a sleepy morning.

So, I've reviewed one Stonyfield Pure Pleasure product before and that leads me to another flavor of the product line with a review of the Chocolate flavor.  I picked this one up at Meijer with a free product coupon, but it usually retails at $4.69 for a four pack of these four ounce cups.  Each cup contains 100 calories, has ten grams of protein and says it is zero fat despite the fact that the nutritional information on the back of the cup says there are five calories from fat.

Review: Dannon Oikos Strawberry 0% Greek Yogurt

Cue the broken record, beat the dead horse or do whatever you need to do, because it is time to review another Dannon Oikos flavor.  This time, I'm looking at the most overrated fruit that there is and how it translates with Greek yogurt in this review of the Dannon Oikos Strawberry 0% Greek yogurt.  As with the others, I picked this one up at Marsh on sale for $1.00, it is 5.3 ounces, 120 calories (ten calories lower than all other flavors I've tried) and contains twelve grams of protein.

Review: Stonyfield Organic Oikos Caramel Pure Pleasure 0% Greek Yogurt

Not to beat my own chest here, but I always feel sort of "big time" when a product manufacturer contacts me regarding my review of one of their products.  That has been happening occasionally recently and it makes me feel good to be noticed.  Granted, I've made myself known by my strategy of networking through Twitter, Facebook, etc., but not all of these companies have to respond.  One of the several companies that did respond to my prior review was Stonyfield and they sent me some coupons for their single serve Greek yogurt cups and also their four packs of Greek yogurt cups from their Pure Pleasure line.  So, I picked up a gratis (regularly $4.69) four cup package of the Pure Pleasure Caramel flavor recently and I was anxious to give it a try.  Each cup is four ounces (same as a JELL-O pudding cup) and has 110 calories and ten grams of protein.  It's also non-fat, by the way.

Review: Stonyfield Organic Oikos Honey 0% Greek Yogurt

As I continue my quest to try out just about every single Greek yogurt that I can get my hands on, I'm led to the Honey flavor of Stonyfield's Organic Oikos product line.  I picked this one up at Meijer on sale for $1.00 and it clocked in at 5.3 ounces with 120 calories and twelve grams of protein.  Being that this is only 5.3 ounces, Stonyfield is placing themselves in the "premium" line of Greek yogurts since they are putting a serving size out there that is smaller than the standard six ounces that the majority of purveyors provide.

Review: Dannon Oikos Blueberry 0% Greek Yogurt

Sometimes when I review multiple products from the same product line, I feel like a broken record and that's what I'm starting to feel like with these Oikos product reviews.  As a way to mix it up, did you know that Oikos means "house" in Greek?  So, the name of the product line of these yogurts is basically Dannon House.  Wow, interesting, eh?  Okay, maybe not.  Anyway, I picked this 5.3 ounce cup of Blueberry 0% Greek yogurt at Marsh for $1.00 and it contains 130 calories and twelve grams of protein, just like the other Oikos yogurts that I've reviewed so far.

Review: Stonyfield Organic Oikos Superfruits 0% Fat Greek Yogurt

I've hit a lot of Greek yogurts on this blog, but this is review number one of any of the Stonyfield Greek yogurt products.  This is from their organic Oikos line and if anything is begging to be the inaugural review based on its name alone, it's this one, the Superfruits flavor from their Fruit on the Bottom version of their Oikos line.  I think I'm particularly super in my own mind, so it's only fitting that I do a review on this one.  I picked this one up at Kroger for $1.25 and it weighs in at 1.25 ounces with 130 calories and it has thirteen grams of protein.

Review: Dannon Oikos Black Cherry 0% Greek Yogurt

Dannon Oikos had a commercial in the Super Bowl last night and if it's good enough for John Stamos, it's good enough for me to do my second Dannon Oikos review, so I'm excited!  I bet you are excited too!  Ha!  Anyway, my first Oikos review ended up with me being presently surprised by how much I liked Dannon's "premium" Greek yogurt (it's "premium" because it costs the same as all other Greek yogurts with the exception of the fact that you get 0.7 less ounces of yogurt).  In this review, I'll be taking a look at the Black Cherry flavor.  This one contains 5.3 ounces of yogurt with 130 calories and twelve grams of protein.  I picked it up on sale at Marsh for $1.00.
