Yonola Frozen Greek Yogurt Breakfast Parfait Bars Review



Fro-yo girl here. I came across Yonola frozen Greek yogurt breakfast parfait bars during my last shopping trip to Grocery Outlet in Altadena, CA. I’ve never seen Yonola prior to my trip to Grocery Outlet. The idea is that it’s a frozen version of a yogurt parfait and it’s on a stick for convenience. Yonola is made with Greek yogurt, fruit, and granola. Grocery Outlet only had one flavor left, Vanilla Honey, for 99 cents a box. There were shelf tags for other Yonola flavors.

One box comes with four individually wrapped bars. One bar is 120-130 calories with 5g of protein. A bar is 3 fl oz, probiotic, and kosher. One bar of Vanilla Honey is 120 calories with 3.5g total fat, 17g total carbs, 14g sugars and 6g protein. Available flavors: Peach, Strawbrerry, Triple Berry, and Vanilla Honey

Vanilla Honey bar: The bar was extra firm and hard. The yogurt actually had some tanginess that I appreciated and I could taste the vanilla. I think there were too many oats though. The granola was in tiny pieces throughout the bar. I didn’t appreciate the added sweetness of the granola

Ingredients (Vanilla Honey): Nonfat Greek yogurt (pasteurized nonfat milk, cultures), ultra-filtered nonfat milk, sugar, cream, honey, coconut oil, toasted oats (rolled oats, sugar, soybean oil, honey, brown sugar molasses), quinoa, crisp rice (rice flour, sugar, salt), contains 1% or less of skim milk, milkfat, sunflower lecithin, natural flavors, soy lecithin, carob bean gum.

Trader Joe’s had a similar frozen yogurt parfait bar last summer. The TJ’s bars were better than Yonola’s but Yonola’s are decent. Yonola is a Wells Enterprises product, the largest family-owned and managed ice cream manufacturer in the United States. For some reason, Wells doesn't list Yonola on its website.

3.5 out of 5 stars.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
