Zero Brands Zero Added Sugar Cream Bars + Probiotics Review




Fro-yo girl here. I recently spotted Zero Brands Zero Added Sugar Fruit Cream Bars at Grocery Outlet in South Pasadena, California. Grocery Outlet had all three flavors: mango, strawberry, and triple berry, as well as the 12-bar variety pack that Costco carried. The 12-pack box was $7.99 and the 4-bar box was $3.99.

The Keto-friendly frozen cream bars have zero added sugar, zero artificial sweeteners, zero sugar alcohols, zero artificial flavors, and are gluten-free, kosher, and probiotic. Sweetened with allulose, monk fruit, and Stevia. The bars are made with real fruit, milk and cream from family-owned farms, chicory root fiber (a prebiotic with several health benefits), and olive oil (high in monosaturated fatty acids). Based on the cultures that they use, I don’t consider these bars to be frozen yogurt bars.

Triple Berry bar: The texture is excellent: firm but not too hard, creamy, and not icy in the least. I could taste the berries (blueberries, blackberries, strawberries) but the berry flavor wasn’t that strong. The berries were blended into the cream and milk. The blueberry flavor was the most noticeable. The bars do not taste like frozen yogurt. There is no tang or yogurt flavor. They taste like cream and berries, with more cream flavor than berry flavor. The flavor is sweet but not cloying. It does have a bit of the Stevia bitterness but it’s very mild. The bar is pretty good for a berries and cream bar.

One 58g bar is 70 calories, 4g total fat, 10g total carbohydrates, 2g total sugars, and 3g protein. The

Zero Brands is based in Scottsdale, Arizona and I think the cream bars are their first product. The product was launched in 2023. Use the store locator to find their bars.

4 out of 5 stars.

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

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.
