Gentle Yogurt Oreos Review

 

Fro-yo girl here. Replicant Shell had imported yogurt candy and imported OREO yogurt cookies. One box of OREO gentle yogurt cookies is 97 grams and priced at $4.99. The box contains two pouches. Each pouch has five Oreos. The cookies are imported from China.

The yogurt OREO looks like your typical OREO, though some of the OREOs had a different design stamped onto the chocolate cookie. The cookies definitely smell different. They smell like Yakult. The cookie is thin and crispy. It seems crispier, less sweet, and less chocolatey than the American OREOs. The cream part is tangy like Yakult. I didn’t like it because I don’t like Yakult. Also, there’s a powdery quality to the yogurt flavor.

You can purchase Gentle Yogurt OREOs purchased online, at Order Exotic Snacks.

Nice Choice Yogurt Biscuits Review

Fro-yo girl here. On my quest to try all things yogurt, I found a new type of yogurt biscuit from Hurng Fur Foods Factory in Taiwan. A bag of Nice Choice Biscuits – Yogurt Flavor was $3.49 at 99 Ranch Market in Arcadia, CA. One bag includes 8 smaller sachets. One sachet is one serving. One serving is 120 calories, 5g fat, 4g sugars, 2g protein, 17g carbohydrates.

Yogurt Biscuits: The biscuits were cute animal faces. There were seven designs: dog, penguin, lion, monkey, pig, panda, and tiger. They had a buttery flavor, a hint of sweetness, a hint of salt, and a crispy texture. The biscuits reminded me of Ritz crackers, only with a yogurt powder taste. I don’t think the yogurt really enhanced or detracted from the biscuit. Well, maybe it detracted since the yogurt flavor wasn't natural.

Ingredients: Wheat flour, sugar, vegetable oil (coconut oil, palm oil), glucose, whey powder, lactic acid bacteria, leavening agents (ammonium bicarbonate E503, sodium bicarbonate E500), salt, artificial flavor, sodium metabisulfite E223

Trader Joe’s Oat and Greek Yogurt Sandwich Cookies Review

Fro-yo girl here. I try not to look at the Trader Joe’s cookie section – too many temptations, but I spotted something new on a recent visit, Oat & Greek Yogurt Sandwich Cookies filled with Yogurt Crème. The box describes the cookies as “almost like breakfast in a cookie, Trader Joe’s Oat and Greek Yogurt sandwich cookies are made in Greece with a slightly tart filling sandwiched between two crisp oat cookies made with Greek yogurt.”

Greek cookies made with Greek yogurt? Sounds delicious. The cookie sandwich was two inches in diameter and ¾ inch in thickness. The oat cookies were thick, crisp, and hearty, like McVitie’s Hobnobs. I could taste a hint of salt and yogurt. The filing was soft, creamy, and slightly tangy. I didn’t think the filling added much. The cookies were good without the filling.

One box is 7.92 oz and contains 9 sandwich cookies. One cookie is 140 calories, 9g total fat, 13g total carbohydrate, 7g sugrs, and 2g protein. TJ’s is selling the cookies for $2.99 a box.

4 out of 5 stars.

Crown Couque D’Asse Strawberry Yogurt Biscuit Review

Fro-yo girl here. I’ve spotted Crown Couque D’Asse Strawberry Yogurt cookies at several supermarkets recently. It seems to be a new flavor from the Crown line of cookies. I bought a box at 99 Ranch Market in Arcadia, CA for $3.48 on sale (regular price $4.59). One box is 288g and contains 36 individually wrapped cookies. The cookies are imported from South Korea.

Couque D’Asse are delicate sandwich cookies. They’re rectangular and filled with a thin layer of cream. They’re so delicate that every cookie I unwrapped was slightly damaged. The langues de chat cookie is buttery and crisp, like an extra thin Pepperidge Farm Milano cookie. Crown’s version has a thin drizzle of chocolate across the top of each cookie. The creamy filling was very sweet with a mild strawberry flavor. It was difficult to taste any yogurt. The cookie was delicious but a tad sweet. It would be perfect with tea. They’re so pretty and delicate.

A serving of four cookies is 180 calories, 10g total fat, 12g sugars, and 20g total carbohydrates.

Ingredients: Wheat flour, strawberry yogurt, sugar, shortening (vegetable), egg white (liquid), milk fat preparation, decoration chocolate, coconut premix (coconut powder, brown sugar), imitation milk powder, overet (sorbitol solution, soybean oi, water, emulsifier, beeswax), blended edible oil (vegetable), emulsifier, salt, sodium bicarbonate, coconut flavor (artificial).

Lotte Double Dip Yogurt Pepero Review

Fro-yo girl here. I spotted new Lotte Pepero Double Dip Yogurt sticks (Pepero is the Korean version of Pocky) during a recent shopping trip to Loha’s Fresh Mart. It seems like the snack is relatively new. One box is 50g. Loha’s had Pepero Double Dip for $2.19 a box. There were two flavors: Yogurt and Café Latte. Pepero is imported from South Korea.

One box contains two servings in separate packets. A serving is one pack, 130 calories, 7g total fat, 11g sugars, 16g total carbohydrate, and 2g protein.

* Double Dip Yogurt Pepero: One dip is milk flavored and the second dip is yogurt flavored. The double dipping makes the coating twice as thick as your average Pocky/Pepero. The cookie part is similar to your typical Pocky/Pepero: crunchy, not very sweet, like a pretzel but not as crunchy. The dips are much sweeter than the biscuit cookie stick. The dips are sweet and creamy. The flavor was pretty good. The yogurt dip had a slightly tangy Yakult taste which wasn’t strong enough to be unpleasant (I don’t like Yakult). It did taste a little powdery but I still liked it. Did I like it better than regular Pocky or Pepero? No, but Double Dip Yogurt is a nice alternative to white chocolate.

Ingredients: Vegetable cream I (vegetable oil, sugar, mixed milk powder, lactose, dextrin, lecithin, Greek yogurt powder, citric acid, artificial yogurt flavor, paprika color), vegetable cream II (vegetable oil, sugar, mixed milk powder, lactose, dextrin, artificial milk flavor, artificial sweet flavor), wheat flour, sugar, palm oil, sweetened condensed milk, grain product (whole meal, non-glutinous rice, glutinous rice), liquid whole egg, processed whole milk powder (whey powder, butter oil, lactose, palm oil, milk cream, sodium caseinate, potassium phosphate dibasic, glycerin esters of fatty acides, artificial milk flavor), acidity regulator (ammonium bicarbonate, sodium phosphate (tribasic), sodium bicarbonate), malt extract, salt, fructose corn syrup, artificial flavor (perm bread flavor), vanilla flavor (vanilla extract, proptlene glycol, vanillin, decalactone), papain, yeast.

The list of ingredients is crazy long!

Furuta Blueberry Yogurt Sand Cookies Review

Fro-yo girl here. Furuta Blueberry Yogurt Sand Cookies are imported from Japan. I found them at 168 Market in San Gabriel, CA, for $1.50. One box is 3.06 oz. Each box has ten servings. One serving is 45 calories with 2g fat, 6g sugar and 6g carbohydrates.

These are sandwich cookies. The cookies are small, round and thick. They’re crispy, sweet and taste healthier because of the wheat flour. I really liked the cookies. However, the filling wasn’t as good, though fortunately there wasn’t much filling in each cookie sandwich. The blueberry yogurt filling had a sharp tang and mild blueberry flavor. It tasted like they put too much citric acid in it. It wasn’t the natural tang of yogurt.

Ingredients: Wheat flour, sugar, shortening, lactose, vegetable oil, high fructose starch syrup, salt, yogurt powder, blueberry juice powder, calcium bicarbonate, baking powder, citric acid, flavor, soya lecithin, beet powder, pectin, water.

The cookie tastes better if you don’t eat the cream separately from the cookie, but since I prefer the cookie, I think I’ll scrape off the cream.

3 out of 5 stars.

Chocolates White Chocolate Yogurt Wafer Review

Fro-yo girl here. Korean and Japanese grocery stores sometimes carry interesting yogurt flavored snacks. However, the Chocolates White Chocolate Yogurt Wafers that I found recently at Good Fortune Supermarket, a Chinese supermarket, are imported from Taiwan. They’re manufactured by Hunya Foods, a chocolate company.

One package contains 9 individually wrapped cookies. Each cookie is 70 calories with 5g of fat.

The cookies are sugar wafer cookies, with thin, soft, crispy sugar wafer layers and thin layers of yogurt cream in between. The entire cookie is enrobed in a thin white chocolate coating. It has a mild tang that reminds me of Yakult. It also tastes powdery. The cookies are decent but I’m not a fan of Yakult.

Ingredients: Vegetable oil, flour, milk powder, glucose, sucrose, starch, lactose, polydextrose, maltose, butter, flavors, emulsifiers, lactic acid bacteria, leavening agent, soybean flour, malic acid, citric acid

Benton’s Oats & Yogurt Sandwich Biscuits

Fro-yo girl here. I was pleasantly surprised to find Benton’s Oats & Yogurt Vanilla sandwich biscuits while shopping at Aldi. While I only saw the vanilla flavor, they did offer a strawberry version before. A box has 6 packs with 2 biscuits per pack. A box is $1, a bargain.

* Vanilla oats & yogurt sandwich biscuits: The biscuits (cookies) were thick, firm, crunchy and less sweet than I expected. They tasted healthy in a good way – like oats and whole wheat. Think McVitie’s digestive biscuits and BelVita. The filling was creamy and much sweeter. It did have some yogurt flavor but no tartness. The flavor was pleasant. The biscuit sandwiches look very similar to Quaker’s Oat & Yogurt sandwich biscuits, but I’ve never had those so I can’t make a direct comparison. They’re heartier than the typical cookie and not as sweet. I wish I could convince myself that they’re healthy because they are good.

One serving is equal to 2 biscuits, 180 calories, 10g of whole grains, 7g of total fat, 26g of carbs, and 10g of sugar. The sandwich biscuits are a product of the Netherlands.

4.5 out of 5 stars.

Haitai Sand Ace Yogurt Biscuit Review

Fro-yo girl here. Haitai has been busy. They created Haitai Oh Yes Yogurt Cake (like Choco Pie, chocolate coated white cake with a yogurt cream filling) and Haitai Sand Ace Yogurt Biscuits. In the UK, cookies are called biscuits. I guess that’s true in Korea too. I’m going to call them cookies.

Sand Ace Yogurt Biscuits come in a pretty blue and white box. There are 12 packages in the box with 2 cookies per package. Two cookies are 85 calories. The cookies are small and square. The cookie part reminds me a bit of Ritz crackers; they are golden, crispy and not very sweet. They’re slightly salty like a Ritz cracker. The cookies are held together by a creamy filling that tastes like sweet slightly vanilla flavored cream or the filling of an Oreo cookie. I didn’t taste yogurt but still really liked the cookie.

A box of Sand Ace Yogurt Biscuits was $2.99 at Lotte Market. The cookies are made in Korea.

You can purchase the cookies online at: http://kpoptown.com/food/35644-haitai-sand-ace-yogurt-cream-204g.html

Ingredients: Wheat flour, soybean, glucose, coral shortening, sugar, mixed oil, lactose, cream powder, milk powder, skim milk powder, refined salt, prozyme500, lecithin, ammonium carbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate, milk flavor, vanilla flavor, cream flavor, vitamin B1, vitamin B2.

Giant Yogurt Caplico Review

Fro-yo girl here. Even Caplico comes in a yogurt flavor now. I spotted it at Nijiya Market in San Mateo for $1.99 each. They only had one left.

For those of you not familiar with Caplico, it’s a Japanese baked wheat snack by Glico that looks like an ice cream cone. It’s supposed to taste like an ice cream cone too. A airy chocolate center is surrounded by an airy yogurt flavor exterior. The texture is very much reminiscent of Aero chocolate bars. It’s firm but not super firm because there are tiny holes throughout. The yogurt part tastes a bit like Yakult, sweet and creamy and it has tiny bits of lemon cookie for a bit of crunch. The chocolate part tastes better. The cone is crunchy and light. One cone is 210 calories with 13g of fat.

I love yogurt but I think other flavors of Giant Caplico taste better.

Meiji Chelsea Yogurt Scotch Biscuits Review

Fro-yo girl here. About a year ago, I reviewed Meiji Yogurt caramels (firm, tasty caramels with yogurt flavor). Since then, they’ve come out with Chelsea Yogurt Scotch Biscuits. The look of the packaging with its 70’s inspired flowers, is similar to their Yogurt caramels. The cookies are made in Japan.

There are four packages inside a box and each package contains two sandwich cookies. The cookies are crispy and light like butter shortbread and the creamy filling in between the cookies has a tangy sweet flavor that I’d say tastes more like a sweet yogurt drink than yogurt. It’s an interesting flavor.

I found a 3.8 ounce box of Meiji Chelsea Yogurt Scotch Biscuits at Nijiya Market for $2.79. 

Ingredients: wheat flour, shortening, sugar, whole milk powder, yogurt powder, salt, sour agent, emulsifiers, butter oil, artificial flavor, whey powder.

Trader Joe's Yogurt Stars Review

Fro-yo girl here. Someone high up at Trader Joe's loves yogurt. They've introduced another yogurt product, Yogurt Stars. Crunchy star shaped vanilla cookies are dipped in three different yogurt coatings. The white stars are vanilla, the purple ones blueberry yogurt and the pink ones are raspberry. The vanilla ones are the best. The cookie is a bit salty and quite crunchy. The sweet, mild vanilla yogurt doesn't overwhelm the vanilla cookie. The raspberry ones are good too. The yogurt coating adds a creaminess and tartness. While I like the tarty blueberry yogurt coating, the blueberry flavor overwhelms the cookie flavor. I think these cookies would be great with fro-yo. They're $3.99 for an 11 ounce bag. They look like they're inspired by July 4th (star-shaped red, white & blue cookies)

4.5 out of 5 stars.
