NEW Yasso Frozen Greek Yogurt Sandwiches Review

Fro-yo girl here. New Yasso products always seem to take awhile to arrive at my local Target (in Southern California). I started looking for Yasso’s new Frozen Greek Yogurt sandwiches as soon as I read about the launch in late October 2020. I checked a few Target locations in person – no luck.

The sandwiches feature Greek froyo wedged between two soft chocolate cookies and are available exclusively at Target. The retail suggested price is $5.99/pack. A pack contains four sandwiches. Each sandwich is individually wrapped and the wrappers have cute sayings.

I had pretty much given up on finding the Frozen Greek Yogurt sandwiches until a recent search on the Target app revealed that the new Sunset Blvd. (Los Angeles) location actually has them in stock. The other 20+ locations near me do not have them in stock.

It turns out that the Target on Sunset Blvd. just opened in late October 2020, after 13 years. Yes, it took 13 years for that Target location to open. But the good news is that it’s huge and has Yasso products that other Target locations do not carry. It also has amazing views of the Hollywood Hills, including the Hollywood sign and the Yogurtland across the street.

Target Sunset had Yasso Mint Chocolate Chip and Vanilla Bean sandwiches for $6.49/box (the Target price online is $5.29). Okay, so Target Sunset is more expensive. The sandwiches are small (3 fl oz) and 100 – 120 calories each. They’re made with real Greek yogurt, no artificial or high intensity sweeteners, and live and active cultures.

Mint Chocolate Chip Sandwich: It’s described as mint frozen Greek yogurt and chocolate flavored chips wedged between two soft chocolate wafers. The cookies were similar to the kind that I associate with ice cream sandwiches – soft and they tend to stick to your fingers. Sure enough, Yasso’s cookies stuck to my fingers. The filling was enjoyable – their mint froyo is refreshing, firm, and creamy and I liked the additional texture of the tiny chocolate flecks, aka chocolate flavored chips. However, their 2017 froyo sandwiches had a better cookie (firmer, like Oreos), so I liked those better than the 2020 version. One cookie sandwich is 120 calories, 2g total fat, 21g total carbs, 12g total sugars and 4g protein.

Vanilla Bean Sandwich: The froyo was a little softer than the mint chocolate chip. It was creamy and had a strong vanilla flavor with lots of visible vanilla bean specks. The soft chocolate cookie was the same as the kind used in the Mint Chocolate Chip sandwich. The Oreo style cookie from Yasso 2017 was better tasting and had a better texture. One cookie sandwich is 100 calories, 1.5g total fat, 20g total carbs and 11g total sugars.

Available flavors: Mint Chocolate Chip, Vanilla Bean, Peanut Butter

4 out of 5 stars.

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

* TARGET: 5500 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles (Hollywood), CA 90028

New Yasso Flavors, Review of Black Rasperry Chip Bars & Mint Sandwiches

Fro-yo girl here. Yasso recently expanded their offerings, introducing three new bar flavors: S’mores, Toffee Caramel Chocolate Chip, Black Raspberry Chip and their first froyo sandwiches, available in Mint and Vanilla.

I spotted a few of their new products at Target in Fremont, CA. That Target had all the new products except for S’mores bars. Each package was priced at $3.99. A box comes with four bars or four sandwiches.

Toffee Caramel Chocolate Chip sounds super sweet to me, so I opted for the Black Raspberry Chip bars.

* Black Raspberry Chip bars: These are froyo popsicles. The texture of the bar was creamy, soft and light. The raspberry flavor was present but not very strong. The dark and white chocolate chips were small and crunchy. The yogurt flavor was very mild. The flavor was not tangy at all but was sweeter than I expected. It’s still a nice light treat at 100 calories, 2g total fat and 14g of sugars. 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Vanilla froyo/ice cream sandwiches are commonplace, so I wanted to try the mint. Also, chocolate and mint make a good pair.

* Mint froyo sandwiches: The sandwich is small compared to the other ice cream sandwiches on the market. The dark chocolate cookie looks and tastes like a soft Oreo cookie. It’s a great cookie and it didn’t get too mushy or sticky. The layer of froyo was pretty thin. The mint flavor was natural and pleasant. The texture was smooth and creamy. The cookies complemented the froyo. One sandwich is 120 calories with 3.5g total fat and 7g of sugars. I liked my froyo sandwich more than the Black Raspberry Chip bar. 4.5 out of 5 stars.

* TARGET: Fremont Hub Shopping Center, 39201 Fremont Blvd., Fremont, CA 94538
