Leave it to Yoplait

Remember this post? What did I tell you about the word "delight?" It's a food marketer's dream come true.

Yoplait Delights - Chocolate Raspberry

Price: $2.55/4 pack
Where purchased: St. Joseph IGA
Overall rating: 4/5

Does it feel like I've been overdoing it with the yogurt reviews lately? I'll admit I have done a few, but I can't help that there are about a million different kinds of yogurt out there. I can hardly stop trying them when so many exciting new varieties keep popping up.

I try not to get caught up in the "100 calorie" hype, as typically it seems like a way to get you to overpay for special packaging, or sell nearly the same product to a new market segment. But, I'd have to say that this 100-calorie snack is a great addition to the current offerings out there. To me, this product fulfills exactly what I had been hoping for from the less-than-stellar Breyers yogurt I reviewed earlier this month. It provides a sweet, creamy, and satisfying snack, with 5 grams of protein and only 1.5 grams of fat and 100 calories. I particularly enjoyed the raspberry and chocolate flavor because it makes you think you are eating something dessert-like. In fact, I don't think I'd even want to eat this as a breakfast food, but as a mid-morning or afternoon snack it is perfect. The chocolate flavor is pretty mild, but I didn't think it tasted artificial, which is usually the problem I have with lower-calorie yogurts.

This product receives a 4 out of 5 rating because it is a tasty treat, but a little pricey for only a 4 oz cup. Watch out for coupons though - Yoplait is handing out a lot of them right now (did you see the one on the product page?) I actually have 2 of them and forgot to use either when I was at the store, of course. That's ok, I still have other flavors to try. That Creme Carmel is calling my name.
