Review: Yoplait Greek 100 Whips! Coconut Macaroon Greek Yogurt Mousse

I'm not going to lie, it's been almost two weeks since I've physically typed out a review and quite frankly, I haven't missed it much.  Not sure that bodes well for the future of the blog, but I will be popping in periodically to submit review of new products that I find in the store.  Today's review adds to the exponentially large Yoplait review catalog as I'll take a look at this Yoplait Greek 100 Whips! Coconut Macaroon Greek Yogurt Mousse that I was able to pick up at Kroger for $1.00.  Each container is a fluffy and light 4.0 ounces and is packed in with 100 calories and nine grams of protein.  It's also gluten free.

Review: Yoplait Greek 100 Whips! Salted Caramel Greek Yogurt Mousse

These Whips! products have been popping up in the dairy case at my local grocery stores with increasing frequency and I've been knocking the off with reviews as they've been popping up.  Today's review is of a new flavor that has popped into the case (and Yoplait's product line) in this single serving cup of Yoplait Greek 100 Whips! Salted Caramel Greek Yogurt Mousse.  I was able to get this one at Marsh as a freebie (lucky me!), but it would ordinarily be in the $1.00ish range.  The cup itself is a fluffy 4.0 ounces (same size cup as the other Greek yogurt products, but lighter contents) and contains 100 calories and nine grams of protein.

Review: Yoplait Plenti Black Cherry Plentiful Greek Yogurt

I'm going to jump ahead a little bit as I tackle yet another Yoplait Plenti review with something that really focuses on what you'll see in the photo after the jump.  Apparently Yoplait (General Mills) has decided to join the "Keep Calm and ______" movement and add the tagline to the underside of top of their yogurt containers.  I can't tell you how insane that drive me.  The "Keep Calm and Carry On" slogan has an interesting history, but some marketer took it and used it for other purposes.  Then other marketers thought this was a good idea and here were are today with that slogan spread EVERYWHERE and way overused.  It drives me insane to the point where it actually makes me angry and I rant on a food blog about it where no one cares.  All over a goofy little slogan.  And...wait...I'm just going to stop here before I go off the deep end and get into the review.  Anyway, I picked up this single serving container of Yoplait Plenti Black Cherry Plentiful Greek Yogurt at Kroger for $1.00 and it comes in at 5.3 ounces packed in with 140 calories and twelve grams of protein.

Review: Yoplait Plenti Blueberry Plentiful Greek Yogurt

I mentioned in my last Yoplait Plenti review that these cups of Greek yogurt seemed like they were something that had been out forever and that's why I had steered away from reviewing them, figuring that I already had.  As I mentioned, it turns out that they were new-ish and I was just dreaming that they had been reviewed before.  So, since I've neglected them in the past, I figured it was time to plow through with another review as I grabbed this Yoplait Plenti Blueberry Plentiful Greek Yogurt off the shelves of Kroger for $1.00.  It's 5.3 ounces and is packed with 140 calories and twelve grams of protein.

Review: Yoplait Plenti Strawberry Plentiful Greek Yogurt

So, mixing oats in your Greek yogurt is apparently the big new thing in the Greek yogurt war.  I've seen several different manufacturers doing it and while I've reviewed plenty of Yoplait products here before, I've never taken a look at their foray into this battle.  That leads me to today's review of this single serving cup of Yoplait Plenti Strawberry Plentiful Greek Yogurt that I was able to pick up for free via a digital coupon in the Kroger app.  This one ordinarily runs about a dollar-ish at it's regular price.  Anyway, this comes in at 5.3 ounces and is loaded up with 140 calories and twelve grams of 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: 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: Yoplait Greek 100 Whips! Vanilla Cupcake Yogurt Mousse

I love me some freebies and it's clear that Yoplait is trying to get the word out about their new Whips! line of Greek yogurt mousses because they offered this as a freebie outside of the typical Free Friday Download program at Kroger.  I did get this via the Kroger app, but it was just a separate "coupon" that was thrown out there, so that was nice.  With that, I snatched this container of Yoplait Greek 100 Whips! Vanilla Cupcake Yogurt Mousse out of the dairy case for a review to add to my big Yoplait collection.  It's the same size container as a typical Greek yogurt, but since this is a mousse, it's much lighter and comes in at only 4.0 ounces.  Within that lighter container is 100 calories and nine grams of protein.

Review: Yoplait Greek 100 Whips! Black Cherry Greek Yogurt

Every now and then there's a product in the aisles that makes me go "hmm" and today's review is one of those products.  Yoplait, which has been touched on many, many times here on the blog, has decided to extend their one hundred calorie Greek yogurt line into a new territory by modeling the Greek yogurts after fluffy mousses.  Seems like a strange combination for me, but I do appreciate the creativity because at least to me, it seems like quite a unique idea.  So, as I was intrigued by this unique idea, I grabbed a cup of this Yoplait Greek 100 Whips! Black Cherry Greek Yogurt out of the refrigerator case at Kroger as part of their Free Friday Download promotion.  The cup of Greek yogurt itself is 4.0 ounces and unsurprisingly has 100 calories.  It's also got nine grams of protein and has no fat.

Review: Yoplait Light Apple Fritter Yogurt

Buying a bunch of Yoplait products over a couple of grocery store trips for multiple reviews seemed like a good idea at the time.  Of course, any time you go to a grocery store while hungry, anything involving MORE food sounds like a good idea.  Now, I have to admit that I've gotten bored with these, but I don't want to waste things and that leads me to review this single serving container of Yoplait Light Apple Fritter Yogurt that I picked up on sale at Meijer for $0.50.  Each container is 90 calories and has five grams of protein.  It's also only a two point hit on the Weight Watchers PointsPlus scale, much like the rest of these that I've looked at in reviews.

Review: Yoplait Light Orange Creme Yogurt

As I continue to plow through my recent string of Yoplait reviews, today's review is the first time that there's something slightly different (other than the obvious thing that it is a different product).  This is the first time that I haven't paid a measly $0.20 for one of these cups, so it's a little depressing.  Actually, I'm not that much of a tight wad...it's not depressing at all.  I still got this one on sale, albeit at a different price ($0.50) and at a different store (Meijer), so it's still a very economical buy.  Anyway, this cup of Yoplait Light Orange Creme Yogurt clocks in at the usual 6.0 ounces and it has 90 calories with five grams of protein.  Like the others, it's also a two point hit on the Weight Watchers PointsPlus scale.

Review: Yoplait Light Thick & Creamy Key Lime Pie Yogurt

So, I've been plowing my way through these non-Greek Yoplait yogurt reviews recently and today is my first foray into another one of their product lines as I take a look at this Yoplait Light Thick & Creamy Key Lime Pie Yogurt that I also picked up at Marsh on sale for the bargain basement price of $0.20.  As I was looking around, I noticed that Yoplait doesn't really change their flavors from product line to product line...all they do is change the consistency of the yogurt.  Since I've looked at Yoplait Light yogurts so far, I found that those yogurts were loose and somewhat runny.  Based on the name of this one, I'd expect that this one would be the antithesis of that.  Anyway, this one is 6.0 ounces like the others and the "upgrade" to thick and creamy means that this one picks up an additional ten calories  and two grams of protein, thus coming in at 100 calories with seven grams of protein.

Review: Yoplait Light Raspberry Cheesecake Yogurt

Anyone that reads the blog on a semi-regular basis has probably figured out that I'm a penny pincher and am not at all shy about admitting it.  I actually wear it as a badge of pride, so when I see something that is only going to set me back $0.20 at the store, I'm more than willing to grab it and I did it once already with these Yoplait Light products.  On that same trip, I decided I had another twenty cents to burn, so I picked up this container of Yoplait Light Raspberry Cheesecake Yogurt as well.  It's 6.0 ounces and has 90 calories with five grams of protein.  It's also free of aspartame if you notice the container and apparently Yoplait is quite proud of that as they've called it out on their website.  Apparently a bunch of people wrote in asking them to remove it, so they went ahead and found a substitute (sucralose), changed the lids to blue and changed the containers to indicate this big change.  Good for them and also us, I suppose.  Anyway, this is worth two points on the Weight Watchers PointsPlus scale too if you watch that.

Review: Yoplait Light Pineapple Upside-Down Cake Yogurt

I've reviewed plenty of Yoplait yogurts on this blog in the past, but I've never really touched on their original yogurt products that come in the odd and somewhat cylindrical shaped containers for some reason.  Maybe I considered them too pedestrian, too cheap, too boring or some sort of combination of all of those, but I always stayed away.  With today's review, I'm finally crossing the threshold of that and I picked up a container of this Yoplait Light Pineapple Upside-Down Cake Yogurt on sale at my local Marsh for a measly $0.20.  Each container is 6.0 ounces and has 90 calories and five grams of protein.  It's worth two points on the Weight Watchers PointsPlus scale if you are in to watching (get it?) that kind of thing as well.

Review: Yoplait Greek Lemon Meringue 2% Greek Yogurt

When Kroger posted its Free Friday Download recently, I was slightly disappointed in the fact that it was a Yoplait Greek yogurt product because I thought I had reviewed all the flavors (that I care to review) already.  Much to my surprise, there is a flavor out there that I haven't yet looked at and that leads me to today's review of this single serving cup of Yoplait Greek Lemon Meringue 2% Greek Yogurt.  As I mentioned previously, this was a freebie, but it would ordinarily run in the $1.00 range if you are keeping score at home.  The cup itself contains 5.3 ounces of Greek yogurt and within that is 150 calories and eleven grams of protein.

Review: Yoplait Greek 100 Boston Cream Pie Greek Yogurt

I've mentioned throughout the years on the blog here in the various products that I've looked at that model themselves after Boston Cream Pie that I'm a big fan of that flavor combination.  Being that I've lived in Indiana for my entire life, I had never really had the actual cake until recently, but I had consumed many of the donuts that are modeled after it and I always found them to be heavenly.  Like I said, it wasn't until the past few years that I've had the opportunity to try out the cake and it definitely is heavenly as well, so when I saw an opportunity to add to my Yoplait review collection with another Boston Cream Pie themed product, I knew I had to jump on board and grab this single serving cup of Yoplait Greek 100 Boston Cream Pie Greek Yogurt out of the dairy case at Meijer for $1.09.  Now, the thought of Greek yogurt and Boston Cream Pie does seem like an odd combination to me, but my love of the dessert itself allowed me to get over that oddness in order to give this a look.  For the record, this single serving cup is 5.3 ounces and unsurprisingly has 100 calories and thirteen grams of protein.  It's also two points on the Weight Watchers scale if you are into that type of thing.

Review: Yoplait Greek 100 Strawberry Cheesecake Greek Yogurt

I've lamented previously that reviewing all sorts of yogurt products bugs me because of expiration dates.  It often forces me to review things when I really don't feel like it because they product could bad.  On the other hand, sometimes expiration dates help out.  For example, I can buy a product in a binge shopping purchase and know that I have quite a while before I need to get to it.  Today's review is one of those instances.  I bought this single serving cup of Yoplait Greek 100 Strawberry Cheesecake Greek Yogurt a few weeks ago, but because of the expiration date, I was able to hold off adding to my Yoplait review catalog until today's review (the expiration date finally caught up with me).  I picked this up for $1.00 at Kroger and based on the product's name, this 5.3 ounce cup is obviously 100 calories and within those 100 calories are twelve grams of gluten free Greek protein.  For those readers that are so included to use the Weight Watchers points system, this one also counts as two points on that scale.

Review: Yoplait Greek 100 Blackberry Pie Greek Yogurt

I've been eating so much Greek yogurt lately that I'm thinking about putting an "is" at the end of my last name or changing my first name to Aristotle or Plato or Odysseus or something Greek like that because I know feel like I am one of them.  Considering that I'm of German/Irish descent, that does seem kind of amusing to me.  So, as part of my goal of becoming Greek (or something like that), I picked up a container of this Yoplait Greek 100 Blackberry Pie Greek Yogurt at Kroger for $1.00.  It's a new flavor for Yoplait to add to my rapidly growing collection and as per usual, it's a 5.3 ounce single serving cup.  It's just 100 calories and has twelve grams of protein packed punch.  Yoplait also proudly displays on the container that this is two points on the Weight Watchers points scale.

Review: Yoplait Greek Caramel 2% Greek Yogurt

In general, I like the way yogurt tastes, so I'm more inclined to buy it.  What I don't like about yogurt is that it has expiration dates.  I mention that because I do most of my shopping in splurges and buy multiple items of the same product to review and with most products, the expiration dates are so far away that it really doesn't matter.  With yogurt, that's not the case and it often bugs me because I end up eating a bunch of yogurt in a short period of time and I eventually get sick of it.  That's what's starting to happen to me right now as a lot of sale prices and free giveaways have gotten me to start hammering the yogurt products, Yoplait included, that I joked a bit ago about re-naming this blog to Crazy Yogurt Dude.  I'm not sure why I'm whining about this year, but I guess it's my prerogative since it's my blog.  Alright, with that whining off my chest, it's now time to take a look at a new flavor of Yoplait Greek yogurt with this look at a single serving cup of Yoplait Greek Caramel 2% Greek Yogurt that I picked up for $1.00 at Kroger.  The cup is the mostly typical 5.3 ounces and has 150 calories and eleven grams of protein.

Review: Yoplait Greek Peaches 'n Cream 2% Greek Yogurt

The mega manufacturers keep on chugging.  That is one of the givens of life and today, another one of those mega manufacturers (Yoplait) will grace this blog with yet another review and if you've been reading recently, ANOTHER yogurt review.  I'm not quite tired of yogurt yet, but I can see that on the horizon.  Of course, I've been eating pudding just about every day for the last four or five years, so maybe I'll never get tired of yogurt.  Anyway, I picked up this cup of Yoplait Greek Peaches 'n Cream 2% Greek Yogurt on sale for $1.00 at Kroger and it's the semi-customary 5.3 ounces and has 150 calories with eleven grams of protein.
