Yoplait Greek 100 Calories - Orange Creme

I'm a pretty avid Yoplait and Dannon Greek yogurt fan, pretty much if I see a new flavor, I'm going to give it a try. One of the flavors that's been out for a while, but I haven't been able to find anywhere has been the Yoplait Greek 100 Calories - Orange Creme.

I have seen this shown on numerous Instagram postings for months and I finally found the allusive yogurt at a local Wal-Mart. Sadly, not all retailers carry this flavor ... and sadly I only purchased one container while at the store. Note to self: buy more when you find this again.

Granted, with that statement you can pretty much sum up the fact that I completely LOVE this yogurt! It tastes just like an orange creme popsicle. It's got that cool orange flavor, while having a creamy vanilla base which in my mind tastes along the lines of the ice cream in a orange cream popsicle. It's definitely a dessert like yogurt, that I'd enjoy as an after lunch or dinner "dessert". It's refreshing, delicious and a complete win for me. I need to venture my way back to my local Wal-Mart to get a couple of these to stash away in the refrigerator when I want something dessert-like.

Yoplait Greek 100 Calories Whips! Coconut Macaroon

This has to be one of the most exciting yogurt finds I have stumbled across in a while. When the Greek Whips line launched I was quick to try a few of the flavors available ... but let me introduce you to one of the newest (and my favorite): Yoplait Greek 100 Calories Whips! Coconut Macaroon.

The Yoplait Whips are a Greek yogurt which is whipped, which leaves the yogurt with a very light and airy consistency. The consistency is more along the lines of freshly made whipped cream. Flavor wise it's definitely a healthier rendition of a coconut macaroon. The coconut flavor is there on center stage, but it's not overwhelming nor is it artificial tasting. The smoothness and creaminess of the yogurt give it that macaroon vibe.

Even though these have a few grams of protein less (9g) than your average Greek yogurt (12g), I still think these are a perfect little snack to have on hand from time to time. It definitely switches things up and can give your yogurt game a little twist. Plus it's a new texture to confuse your palette with.

Yoplait Greek 100 Calories - Honey

Back in the day when I first started getting into Greek yogurt, I'd try to ease the way into the transition with honey flavored yogurt. Of course not all Greek yogurts are the same ... but thru the course of time, I've found my new all-time favorite honey Greek yogurt. Let me introduce you to Yoplait Greek 100 Calories Honey.

The yogurt itself is moderately thick in consistency, while having a pretty straight forward honey flavor. It's not overly sweet, not boldly artificial, but just right. The yogurt isn't tart (which is appreciated) and has a nice sweetness to it. I enjoyed it alongside some fresh fruit which paired perfectly.  This would be perfect straight out of the container, made into a parfait, or even served topped with some cereal (as a substitute to milk). Overall, I really enjoyed it and I'm glad to have found a honey flavored Greek yogurt that isn't an assault on my taste buds.

Yoplait Greek 100 Calorie Whips! Tropical

I have evidently been on a mission to try all of the new Greek Whips that appeal to my taste buds. One of those was the Yoplait Greek 100 Calorie Whips! Tropical. The tropical Greek yogurt is one of my favorites so I figured a whipped version would be perfect ... and it truly did not let me down!
 
As I've mentioned in a previous review the texture of this yogurt is a far cry from your average Greek yogurt. It's not thick, heavy, or "wet" in consistency. It's light, airy and has a mousse texture to it. It's flavored well, giving a jam packed 9 grams of protein, while also remaining light and airy at the same time. Definitely a different twist on a yogurt which can make for a refreshing dessert or snack option.  I have seen some people using this as a cream between graham crackers - kind of a nod to the old school Weight Watchers cool whip "ice cream sandwiches."
 
The flavor of this is very much tropical. There's hints of mango and pineapple which give it a very sweet, refreshing "tropical" vibe. It's very much reminiscent of its Greek yogurt variety, which is enjoyable because now depending on whichever texture I'm looking for I can reach for one or the other.

Yoplait Greek 100 Calorie Whips Lemon Meringue

Ever since the Yoplait Greek 100 Calorie Whips hit the market they've been all the rage. I made a point to pick up a few of the flavors that seemed the most interesting to me. One of those was Yoplait Greek 100 Calorie Whips - Lemon Meringue. I figured this would be one of those flavors that was either hit or miss since lemon yogurts can be either really good or really bad without very much go-between.

The lemon meringue flavor was dead on and exactly what one would assume it would taste like. It's definitely a smooth subtly sweet lemon flavor which had a bit of a creamy meringue flavor wrapped into it. It cured my craving for something sweet and dessert-like.

Yoplait Greek 100 Calorie Whips - Vanilla Cupcake

When I heard about the new Greek Whips I knew I had to go on the hunt for them. After asking a few folks where they found them, I made it a priority to pop by a local grocery store which is about 15 minutes away from my house. Low and behold I landed upon the mother load ... and in turn picked up the Yoplait Greek 100 Calorie Whips - Vanilla Cupcake.
 
I initially grabbed 2 of this flavor not knowing what it would taste like. I mean ... hello, have we met? I am a cupcake connoisseur, so of course I was game from the get go. Opening it up and giving it a try I was quite intrigued. After trying it ... I can honestly say it's pure vanilla and no cupcake, not even a hint of cupcake.
 
The texture is what I would call a cross between cool whip and yogurt. The texture actually reminds me of cool whip when I mix a package of sugar free pudding into it. Sort of that airy, flavored cream that's light but unique. It doesn't have the natural "heaviness" that comes with Greek yogurt and is very light. The bonus part? The cup serves up a fabulous 9 grams of protein.

Yoplait Greek Pumpkin Cheesecake Greek Yogurt

There aren't many occasions where I eat a yogurt that isn't light ... that is I tend to make exceptions when it comes to banana flavored yogurts or pumpkin flavored yogurts. I'd been told the Yoplait Greek 2% Pumpkin Cheesecake Yogurt was delicious ... so when I spotted it on shelves, I picked up a cup to give it a whirl.
 
I'm a self proclaimed pumpkin addict and I have been hoping to find a Greek pumpkin flavored yogurt (outside of the one available at Trader Joe's). I was particularly hoping for a light Greek yogurt [maybe next year?!] but Greek pumpkin yogurt will do the trick.
 
The yogurt is undoubtedly pumpkin. It's got a very smooth and creamy nature to it, similar to that of cheesecake. There's some nutmeg, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice lingering in there which make it quite yummy. It's not as zippy/tart as some Greek yogurts and has some natural sweetness to it which cuts back on the general tartness of the yogurt. Overall, it was quite good ... definitely something one could enjoy here and there when on the hunt for a pumpkin greek yogurt.

Yoplait Caramel Apple Greek Yogurt

I had seen the new Yoplait Caramel Apple Greek Yogurt posted all over the place but I had the hardest time finding it. It was finally on one of a few trips to Walmart that I was able to pick up a few containers. Yoplait Greek yogurt is one of my favorites, alongside Dannon's Light & Fit ... so whenever I see a new and unique flavor out I have to give it a try.
 
The Caramel Apple is a limited edition flavor for fall. With fall come caramel apple (and pumpkin) flavored everything. The consistency is in line with the other Yoplait Greek yogurts where it's moderately thick but not too thick ... it's also not remotely as tangy as some other Greek yogurts on the market.

Flavor wise, the caramel flavor I find to be what I notice first. And it's one of those artificial caramel flavors, not like a true sweet rich caramel. It's not overly offensive but it's the flavor that I get right off the bat. The apple is there and the two do blend together well. It's a tasty yogurt, but it's not slam dunk out of the park fabulous. I found it's good on its own while it's also quite delicious over fruit.

Yoplait Greek 100 Calories Blended Tempting Blackberry Tart

I love Greek yogurt ... but what I love even more is finding new flavors of Greek yogurt to shake things up. Even though there are numerous flavors on the market having something different makes it better. So while at Target I spotted and picked up a couple containers of the Target exclusive Yoplait Greek 100 Calories Blended Tempting Blackberry Tart.
 
During the spring and summer months I tend to be all into blackberries. I love them in my yogurt, on my oatmeal and in my desserts. With this having "tart" in the description I was hoping for that graham cracker crust flavoring ... but I didn't really notice it. It was a smooth, creamy, blackberry flavored yogurt which was refreshing and satisfying. Throw in a few fresh blackberries and you've got yourself a pretty well balanced snack.
 
I have since seen this yogurt sold at retailers such as Wal-Mart but instead of it being "Tempting Blackberry Tart" I believe (I cannot recall 100%) it's merely called Blackberry Tart.

Yoplait Greek 100 Calories Raspberry yogurt

I'm a total Greek yogurt fan ... so when I see new flavors pop up, I admit I get a little excited (it's the little things). Typically, I pop one in my cart to give it a whirl. Case in point: Yoplait Greek 100 Calories Raspberry yogurt.
 
Recently I have been getting more into raspberries - whether it be the fruit itself or raspberry flavoring. After giving the yogurt a quick stir, everything looked the same ... until you took that first bite. If you're a raspberry fan, you'll be able to handle the gritty little seeds running throughout the yogurt. But if you're not a fan of the gritty little seeds that come with raspberry desserts/foods ... then you'll be turned off by this. Seeds aside, this is a pretty tasty yogurt, it's delicious on its own, while you can kick it up a notch by adding a few fresh berries to it. Overall, it is a great snack ... and I have repurchased a few times so I am quite the fan.

Yoplait Greek 100 Calories Blended Apple Pie Yogurt

I am a bit of a yogurt junkie, so when I saw Yoplait released another new flavor I of course had to pick a couple up.  I am a fan of the Yoplait Light Apple Turnover yogurt, so I was very excited to see the Yoplait Greek 100 Calories Blended Apple Pie Yogurt.

The yogurts consistency is similar to the other Yoplait Greek yogurts, where it’s thick, yet it’s looser in comparison to other Greek yogurts on the market.  Flavor wise it tastes like apple pie, without the crust: its apple and its cinnamon. I was anticipating chunks of apple as there are in the Yoplait Light Apple Turnover, but there weren’t any. I did notice in some bites there were tiny “slivers” of apple pieces, but nothing that was standout noticeable.  It is quite comparable to the Apple Turnover yogurt, just thicker and without apple pieces.

Yoplait Light Mocha Mint Yogurt

Yoplait comes out with special limited edition yogurt flavors depending on the season.  Since I’m a big yogurt fan, I tend to try the limited edition flavors because typically they’re a nice change to the norm.  So while at Target I spotted and picked up the Yoplait Light Mocha Mint Yogurt.

Usually I buy fat free yogurts, the exception being some Greek yogurts.  Yoplait can be spot on with their flavors, so I went into this with high hopes … although I admit I was slightly afraid. Finally I pulled a container out of the fridge and upon opening it up I was rather afraid to take a bite because of the grayish look to the yogurt. Two bites in and I couldn’t handle it. It was a minty yogurt flavor that was slightly chocolaty but had a tart yogurt flavor to it. which was all around repulsive. I was NOT a fan and since I found it to be so gross I couldn’t even offer it up to family/friends so I threw the yogurt and the other three in the package in the garbage.  I’m gong to keep a mental note to not purchase anymore “mint chocolate” flavored yogurts.

Yoplait Greek 100 Calories Blended Strawberry Cheesecake Bliss Yogurt

While popping into Target the other day I noticed they carried a few “Target exclusive” flavors from Yoplait.  I was all excited when I saw the Yoplait Greek 100 Calories Blended Strawberry Cheesecake Bliss Yogurt so I snatched up two containers.  I do want to note this isn’t exactly an “only at Target” flavor because I spotted and repurchased these at Wal-Mart a few days later!

The yogurt itself is your classic Yoplait Greek yogurt. It’s moderately thick, sweetened and a pretty tasty snack/meal.  Taste wise … it tastes just like a strawberry cheesecake, minus the crust. It’s creamy, it’s sweet and it’s just perfect. I’ve enjoyed it on its own, while I’ve also paired it with some fresh cut up strawberries.

Yoplait Light Pumpkin Pie Yogurt

Fall is upon us, which means pumpkin everything!  One thing Yoplait came up with was this Pumpkin Pie flavored yogurt.  For those who are on Weight Watchers (as I am) this light yogurt is only 2 points plus values.  I LOVE anything pumpkin, so I immediately threw these in my cart when I spotted them at Target.  The 4-pack was $2 as they were on sale 3 for $6 last week.

The yogurt flavoring is on point, it taste just like a pumpkin pie ALTHOUGH the consistency of the yogurt really threw me off.  It's watery in consistency as Yoplait yogurts tend to be so that kind of made me think the yogurt was strange.  The flavoring is there but it would have been SO much better if it were slightly thicker since anything pumpkin (in my opinion) should be thicker.  I did decide to use one of these in a smoothie and I found I like how that turned out.
