Fro-yo girl here. I first saw Two Good Greek yogurt a few months ago. Since it’s made with stevia, I was reluctant to try it, but curiosity and convenience finally got the better of me. Target had Two Good yogurt for $1.77. Two Good is part of the Light & Fit line by Danone North America. It’s lowfat and non-GMO verified. The yogurt was introduced because of growing demand for low sugar products. I’m all for low sugar products, since so many foods seem too sweet to me, but I don’t like the taste of stevia. While it I plant-based, it doesn’t taste natural to me.
Dannon describes Two Good as “a thick and creamy blended yogurt with 2 grams of total sugar per serving and a taste you'll love, with 12 grams of high-quality protein and 80 calories per 5.3 oz serving.” They also say that Two Good has “85% less sugar than average yogurts.” Two Good is different than other types of Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt is typically strained and the process removes some of the dairy sugar. Two Good has a patented slow-straining process; it is made out of strained liquid yogurt and the straining of liquid yogurt removes even more sugar. No sugar is added, but they do add a touch of stevia.
Available flavors: Strawberry, Peach, Blueberry, Vanilla, Mixed Berry
* Vanilla yogurt: The yogurt smelled like sugar substitute. It was sweet, whipped, and smooth. It’s odd to say this, but it was too sweet for me. The sweet aftertaste lingered. There are two low sugar camps: people who want low sugar products that taste as sweet as regular sugar products and people who want low sugar products that actually taste less sweet. I’m definitely in the latter group, whereas this product is for the former group. That said, it’s not horrible. I’d have to add tangy fruit, but I could eat this yogurt because it is mild.
Ingredients (vanilla yogurt): Cultured grade A reduced fat milk, water, contains less than 1% of tapioca starch, natural flavors, lemon juice concentrate, gellan gum, stevia leaf reb 1, fruit and vegetable juice concentrate (for color), sea salt, active yogurt cultures L. Bulgaricus & S. Thermophilus

Fro-yo girl here. I heard about Joe Froyo, the new coffee beverage made with Dannon frozen yogurt, awhile ago and knew that they carried it at the YoCream company store in Portland, OR. I had the chance to try it at the Reliant Expo2015 and then again in a retail setting at the YoCream shop.
Joe Froyo isn’t coffee flavored frozen yogurt blended with ice. It’s 100% Arabica coffee blended with proprietary Dannon frozen yogurt. It’s similar to Starbucks Frappuccino – both are blended coffee beverages with tiny bits of ice and dairy. Joe Froyo is made with frozen yogurt so it’s healthier than Frappuccinos. It doesn’t taste like frozen yogurt but it does have live and active cultures and it’s nonfat. Frappuccinos have many more flavors and toppings/finishes.
I’m not a Frappuccino drinker (I prefer boba milk tea) but I did compare the two products and Joe Froyo has a stronger coffee flavor. It’s on the icy side, like a granita. The new “Flavor Station” allows you to swirl in 3 custom flavors: mocha, caramel and vanilla. I didn’t see a Flavor Station at YoCream or the option to add whipped cream. The machine was behind the register and the product is dispensed by an employee (you choose the size).
Joe Froyo comes with a compact countertop dispensing machine which comes with the program at no added cost (with a 60 case per quarter minimum). No blending or mixing is required; simply pour the product from the carton into the Spaceman dispensing machine.

Fro-yo girl here. Starbucks-owned Evolution Fresh and Dannon just launched a new line of Greek yogurt, Evolution Fresh Fruit on the Bottom Greek Yogurts inspired by Dannon. You can find Evolution Fresh Greek Yogurt at thousands of grocery stores nationwide. The new yogurts feature real fruit on the bottom, topped with Greek nonfat yogurt with no added flavors, artificial sweeteners, colors or preservatives. They emphasize simplicity of ingredients.
Available flavors:
- Black Cherry
- Blueberry
- Pineapple Passion Fruit
- Raspberry Blackberry
Ralph’s had all four new flavors at the retail price, $1.69 per single serve cup. I like the clear square container that makes it easy to see the fruit on the bottom. There’s room left in the cup for you to add your own toppings.
One serving, a 5.3 oz cup, contains 120 calories, 0 grams of fat, 11 grams of protein, 16 grams of sugar.
Ingredients (Black Cherry): Cultured grade A milk, black cherries, cane sugar, water, black cherry puree, rice starch, lemon puree. The milk is rBST free. The yogurt has active yogurt cultures.
I tried the Black Cherry. The cherry flavor is not strong. Even the cherry pieces (there are a few big pieces) didn’t have much flavor. However, the yogurt itself is good – thick, creamy, lightly sweetened and tangy.
I probably should have tried Raspberry Blackberry because it’s described as being tart.
