Aldi Half-Dipped Mint Chip Yogurt Bars Review

 

Fro-yo girl here. Aldi just introduced Half Dipped Mint Chip Yogurt Bars (yes, there’s only one flavor). A box comes with four individually wrapped yogurt bars. A box is $3.69.

One bar is 2.65 fl oz and has 100 calories, 6g total fat, 15g total carbs, 9g total sugars, and 2g protein. It’s sweetened with allulose, sugar, tapioca syrup, cultured whey, erythritol, stevia, and monk fruit. Wow, that’s a lot of different sweeteners!

Half-Dipped Mint Chip Yogurt Bars: The mint froyo is white with little chocolate flecks. The chocolate shell is thin, sweet, and crispy. The shell was quite nice. The yogurt part is soft, creamy, and light, almost whipped in texture. It melts fast. The peppermint flavor is very strong and also slightly bitter. I like mint but I thought the mint flavor was too strong to the point of being harsh.

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

3.5 out of 5 stars.

Aldi’s Friendly Farms Skyr Yogurt Review

Fro-yo girl here. I was at Aldi the other day when I spotted their new limited time offering, Friendly Farms Icelandic Style Skyr Yogurt. One cup is 5.3 oz and 99 cents. There were three flavors: Vanilla, Strawberry, and Blueberry. The fruit flavors are blended.

Vanilla: The amount of sugar, 8g, is comparable to Siggi’s but Friendly Farms vanilla skyr tastes sweeter to me though the aftertaste is sour, tangy and a little chalky. I could see some vanilla bean specks. The texture was thick and smooth. The aftertaste lingers. I prefer Siggi’s.

Strawberry: The strawberry flavor is mild and the texture was lighter and smoother than the vanilla skyr. I could see some strawberry seeds. The skyr brings out the sourness of the strawberries. I liked it better than the vanilla skyr because it was tangier.

Blueberry: The blueberry skyr had a stronger fruit flavor than the strawberry and even some tiny blueberries. It was still tangy but not as sour. The blueberry skyr was my favorite.

Friendly Farms skyr is made with milk from cows that haven’t been treated with rBST. The skyr is nonfat. One serving of Blueberry skyr has 120 calories, 0g fat, 15g carbohydrates, 15g proteins, and 10g sugars.

Ingredients (Blueberry): Cultured pasteurized nonfat grade A milk, sugar, blueberries, blueberry puree, corn starch, natural flavors, pectin, live active cultures.

Aldi Friendly Farms New Aussie Style Yogurt Review

Fro-yo girl here. I was shopping at my neighborhood Aldi when I noticed a new product, Friendly Farms Lemon or Cherry Aussie Style Yogurt (8 oz, $1.49). The new yogurt was in the limited time, premium buys section, so I don’t think it will be available for long, unfortunately.

The tub shape and size are identical to Noosa. Like Noosa’s Lemon, Friendly Farms’ version has honey and butter.

One serving of the Lemon yogurt (8 oz) is 340 calories, 39g of sugars, and 15g total fat. It’s full fat and unstrained. It seems a little sweeter than Noosa’s already sweet lemon yogurt but it does have a thick, smooth texture and a delicious tangy flavor. It’s definitely rich and filling.

The cherry flavor is also good and tangier (it has less sugar). I love the little bits of cherry in the yogurt.

I was pleasantly surprised by Friendly Farms Aussie Style Yogurt and I hope to run into it again.

4 out of 5 stars.

Yogurt Candy Review: Choceur Milk Chocolate Bars with Strawberry Bits and Yogurt Crème Filling

Fro-yo girl here. I found Choceur milk chocolate bars at Aldi. Choceur is exclusive to Aldi. There were a few varieties but of course Strawberry Yogurt caught my eye. There’s a picture of a jar of yogurt on the front.

Choceur chocolate bars are made in Germany using European chocolate. One bar is 7.05 ozs and contains 11 individually wrapped mini bars. A full size chocolate bar is $1.99.

Choceur Strawberry Yogurt bars feature a thin, creamy milk chocolate shell and a firm, creamy yogurt filling with tiny freeze-dried strawberry bits. The yogurt flavor is a little tangy but mild. The strawberry bits add crunch and pops of strawberry flavor. I quite like these bars.

One serving is equal to two mini bars, 210 calories, 14g total fat, and 16g sugar.

Ingredients: Milk chocolate (sugar, whole milk powder, cocoa butter, cocoa liquor, lactose, soy lecithin (emulsifier), vanilla extract), sugar, vegetable fat, yogurt powder, cream powder, buttermilk powder, maltodextrin, strawberry pieces, natural flavor, soy lecithin, starch, citric acid.

4 out of 5 stars.

Benton’s Oats & Yogurt Sandwich Biscuits

Fro-yo girl here. I was pleasantly surprised to find Benton’s Oats & Yogurt Vanilla sandwich biscuits while shopping at Aldi. While I only saw the vanilla flavor, they did offer a strawberry version before. A box has 6 packs with 2 biscuits per pack. A box is $1, a bargain.

* Vanilla oats & yogurt sandwich biscuits: The biscuits (cookies) were thick, firm, crunchy and less sweet than I expected. They tasted healthy in a good way – like oats and whole wheat. Think McVitie’s digestive biscuits and BelVita. The filling was creamy and much sweeter. It did have some yogurt flavor but no tartness. The flavor was pleasant. The biscuit sandwiches look very similar to Quaker’s Oat & Yogurt sandwich biscuits, but I’ve never had those so I can’t make a direct comparison. They’re heartier than the typical cookie and not as sweet. I wish I could convince myself that they’re healthy because they are good.

One serving is equal to 2 biscuits, 180 calories, 10g of whole grains, 7g of total fat, 26g of carbs, and 10g of sugar. The sandwich biscuits are a product of the Netherlands.

4.5 out of 5 stars.
