New Enlightened Frozen Yogurt Bark Review

 

Fro-yo girl here. In January 2024, Enlightened, known for healthy frozen desserts, launched a new line of frozen yogurt bark. The yogurt bark is made with Greek yogurt, chocolate, and freshly frozen fruit.

Available flavors: 

• Triple Berry (yogurt & white chocolate base with strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)
• Banana Peanut Butter (yogurt & dark chocolate base, peanut butter, topped with banana pieces)
• Pineapple Coconut (yogurt & white chocolate base, fresh pineapple, shredded coconut).

I found all three varieties at Walmart in Rosemead, California. One bag is 4.75 oz and priced at $5.98 (with an MSRP of $6.99). The bark was next to the frozen fruit in the freezer section, not the ice cream and frozen yogurt products. The bark comes in resealable bags.

Triple Berry Frozen Yogurt Bark: The bark comes in small rectangles with small pieces of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries on top. The white chocolate flavor is stronger than the Greek yogurt flavor. The bark had an overwhelming chalkiness that I did not enjoy. The fruit added a little tang but there wasn’t enough fruit to add much flavor. The texture was firm and crunchy. It doesn’t melt quickly. I’ve made my own frozen yogurt bark (it’s so easy that anyone can do it) and it tasted much better.

They do recommend letting it thaw for 3 – 5 minutes before consumption. I waited four minutes. The bark wasn’t any better. It’s so chalky.

One serving is 2 – 4 pieces, 100 calories, 6g total fat, 9g total carbs, 8g total sugars, and 4g protein.

Check the Walmart.com website to see if your local Walmart carries Enlightened Frozen Yogurt Bark. Raley’s also carries the bark. But I recommend that you make your own froyo bark and add what you like to it.

2 out of 5 stars.

Häagen-Dazs Cultured Crème Review

 

Fro-yo girl here. General Mills recently launched a new line of snacks, Häagen-Dazs Cultured Crème. This is the first non-frozen product from Häagen-Dazs. 

I found Cultured Crème at Target in the yogurt section for $1.99 each. One cup is 4 oz, smaller than the typical container of yogurt, which is 5.3 oz.

Cultured Crème is a dairy snack that is fermented and cultured. According to General Mills, the process for Cultured Crème takes "up to five times longer than traditional yogurt.” It’s less tangy than yogurt with a smoother, creamier, thicker texture. The product was inspired by the taste and texture of ice cream. Cultured Crème is made with fresh milk, cream, and real fruit. It’s made with no artificial colors and no artificial flavors.

Available flavors: Vanilla Bean, Coffee, Strawberry, Black Cherry, Lemon, Blueberry

Vanilla Bean: The crème had a thick, smooth, and creamy texture with visible vanilla bean specks. The flavor was very sweet (too sweet for me) and seemed like something I’d have for dessert rather than breakfast. The tang was mild. One serving is 190 calories, 11g total fat, 20g carbs, 17g total sugars, and 4g protein. Ingredients: cultured pasteurized milk, cultured pasteurized cream, cane sugar, corn starch, natural flavor, pectin, vanilla bean pieces.

Strawberry: I liked it slightly better than Vanilla Bean because it was a bit more tangy and not quite so sweet. I could see strawberry pieces.

Tip: Cultured Crème tastes better frozen! It tastes like a froyo ice cream hybrid. It’s perfect for making froyo bark and froyo clusters. When I made froyo bark with regular yogurt, it was icier than the bark I made with Cultured Crème.

Cultured Crème is too sweet for snacking but perfect for frozen desserts and snacks.

3.5 out of 5 stars.
