New at Trader Joe’s: Strawberry Greek Frozen Yogurt Parfait Bars Review

Fro-yo girl here. It’s been awhile since TJ’s introduced a new frozen yogurt product. Prior to the new Strawberry Greek Frozen Yogurt Parfait Bars, they had Frozen Vanilla Greek Yogurt way back in 2012. In 2009, they introduced Nonfat Plain Frozen Yogurt. The strawberry froyo bars are their first yogurt popsicles. What took so long?

Trader Joe’s product developer wanted to created the “ultimate breakfast popsicle” using creamy yogurt, crunchy granola, and summer fruits. TJ’s parfait bars are made with Greek yogurt, strawberry puree, strawberry pieces, and Just the Clusters Vanilla Almond granola. One box contains 4 bars and is priced at $2.99. According to Trader Joe’s, the bars will only be available this summer.

* Strawberry Greek frozen yogurt parfait bar: Delicious – these seem like the kind of bars you’d make at home. They’re full size, tangy, and creamy. I like that they taste like yogurt because many frozen yogurt bars on the market do not. They taste simple and natural, with lots of strawberry flavor. The chewy granola bits are found throughout the bar.

One bar is 100 calories, 2g total fat, 18g total carbs, 14g sugars and 3g protein.

Ingredients: Greek yogurt (cultured pasteurized skim milk, yogurt concentrate (cultured whey, nonfat dry milk, yogurt cultures), dextrose, milk protein concentrate, mono- and diglycerides, guar gum, maltodextrin, strawberry puree, diced strawberries, oat clusters (rolled oats, sugar, expelled pressed canolaoil, rice flour, almonds, cornstarch, honey, natural flavor, salt, barley malt syrup), sliced strawberries (strawberries, sugar), natural flavor, vegetable juice (color), citric acid (acidifier).

Get these if you love the taste of yogurt and strawberries! I plan to get more and have them for breakfast.

4.5 out of 5 stars.

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

New Skinny Cow Greek Frozen Yogurt Bars Review

Fro-yo girl here. I’ve never tried Skinny Cow frozen desserts before because they didn’t have any frozen yogurt. They finally introduced Greek froyo bars recently and I found them at Target Pasadena. Skinny Cow Greek Frozen Yogurt Bars come in two flavors, Salt-Kissed Caramel and Chocolate Fudgetastic Swirl. The bars have 5g of protein and are 110-110 calories each. They’re sold in boxes with four bars per box. The retail price is $5.49.

Target Pasadena had both flavors for $4.49 a box, regular price. I wasn’t too thrilled with the sound either flavor (wish they had other flavors like coffee and peanut butter) but the Chocolate Fudgetastic Swirl reminded me of the fudgesicles I used to enjoy.

* Chocolate Fudgetastic Swirl: The bar is small and it looks like a Yasso bar. The texture is very nice. It’s firmer and creamier than a Yasso bar. The flavor was better than I expected. The chocolate flavor wasn’t as strong as you’d find in a fudgesicle. It was more like a light cocoa flavor. The chocolate swirls tasted like chocolate syrup (in a good way). The bar was sweet but not too sweet. It didn’t taste like yogurt but it tasted like a good ice cream bar. One bar has 2g of fat and 13g of sugars.

Ingredients: Greek frozen yogurt: skim milk, cultured skim milk, sugar, corn syrup, milk protein concentrate, cream, cocoa processed with alkali, molasses, natural flavor, pectin, guar gum, corn starch, salt, yogurt, culture. Fudge swirl: sugar water, corn syrup, cocoa processed with alkali, corn starch, sea salt, vanilla extrat, pectin.

4.5 out of 5 stars.
