Liz Lemon Greek FroYo Review!

It has been a long time but here is the review!

Unfortunately, I do not have pictures of the FroYo flavor.

Liz Lemon is Lemon Greek Frozen Yogurt with a Blueberry Lavender Swirl.

When I first tasted this flavor, it reminded me of a creamy Italian Ice. It brought me back to the times where I ate Lemon Italian Ices during the hot summer nights. The lemon flavor is refreshing but it is not overpowering or sour. Regarding the Blueberry Lavender Swirl, I don't really taste the blueberry. I definitely taste the lavender. The swirl does not change the texture of the FroYo and it is swirled throughout the pint (see the picture). I also noticed that the actual Greek FroYo is not as sour as other Ben and Jerry's Greek FroYo flavors that I have tried. Overall, the lemon FroYo with this swirl is an interesting combination. 

I give this flavor a 8.5/10. I really like how it reminds me of a Italian Ice. But I do wish that there was a little more "pop" to the flavor. 

The next flavor will be Pina Colada!

Until next time, thanks for reading!

Pineapple Passionfruit

Hi everyone. I got sidetracked over the past few months. Graduate school is in full swing. It has literally taken over my life and will continue to take over my life for the next 2 years. I am currently in my summer semester (yes, we have classes in the summer) and I have not been keeping up with this blog (as you all can tell). I am hoping to continue writing reviews about Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream and FroYo but the posts will probably be less frequent. With this being said, I say thank you to all of the readers for still reading this blog.

I bought Ben and Jerry's Pineapple Passionfruit Greek Yogurt a few months back. I am finally going to do a review of it.

Ben and Jerry's Pineapple Passionfruit Greek Yogurt consists of pineapple Greek frozen yogurt with chunks of pineapple & a passionfruit swirl. It has sourness taste to it, just like regular Greek froyo. The texture of the froyo kind of reminded me of a creamsicle (like those orange creamsicles that I used to have when I was little). I am a little disappointed though because I do not have pieces of pineapple in my pint. I do not see them or taste them in the pint. I hope that this is not true for other pints of this flavor. Nevertheless, the passionfruit swirl is visible, tasty, and very strong. This swirl gives the pint a tangy taste, which compliments the Greek yogurt's sourness.

This is a very fruity flavor. I feel like it has a refreshing taste for summer. I would rate it a 7.8/10 just because I am missing the pineapple pieces, which are a big component of this flavor. I would probably rate it a 9/10 if it had the pineapple pieces in it.

By the way, I brought back the ratings scale because I was asked in a previous post to start rating the flavors. I am not the best at giving ratings but I will do my best.

I have Coffee, Coffee, Buzz, Buzz, Buzz in my freezer, which will be my next flavor. I am hoping to write a review for this flavor in July.

Thanks again for being patient!
And thanks for reading!

Midterms are over, and it is time for another review!

This week was probably one of the longest weeks that I have ever head. But my midterms are over and now I have time for a review!

The new flavor is Banana Peanut Butter Greek FroYo. I wanted to change it up a little bit from the ice cream.

Ben and Jerry's Banana Peanut Butter Greek FroYo is banana Greek yogurt with peanut buttery swirl.

I find this to be an interesting flavor. As like any type of Greek yogurt, it has a little bit more of a sour taste to it than regular yogurt. The sour-ness from the yogurt and the sweetness of the banana flavor are actually a pretty good match. After tasting this, I wonder why Greek yogurt makers don't make a banana flavor (at least I haven't seen a banana flavor Greek yogurt yet). The peanut butter adds a salty and nutty taste to the pint. The peanut butter swirl wasn't really a swirl in my pint (see picture below). The picture below doesn't show it very well but there is peanut butter in the pint.

I will let you guys know when I get another flavor. I am hoping to find Coffee Coffee BuzzBuzzBuzz or see if I can get a hand on Candy Bar Pie.

Thanks for reading!

Strawberry Shortcake!

First off, I hope everyone had a great free cone day. Unfortunately I was not able to attend (I wish there was a Ben and Jerry's Scoop Shop closer to my school!!!).

This week, I tried and reviewed Ben and Jerry's new flavor Strawberry Shortcake Greek FroYo!

Ben and Jerry's Greek FroYo is Strawberry Greek Frozen Yogurt with Shortbread Pieces.

This is a simple flavor compared to Ben and Jerry's Ice Creams. The Strawberry Greek yogurt is not as sour as the blueberry Greek FroYo flavor I had a few weeks ago. There are pieces of strawberry in the Greek yogurt as well. The pieces of shortcake are small and mixed throughout the pint. I do wish there was more of these shortcake pieces in the pint. I am not sure if it is just my pint that doesn't have a lot of pieces of shortcake in it. The Strawberry Greek Yogurt is the prominent flavor in this pint.

One thing that I have been noticing about the Greek FroYo flavors is that they are very simple. They don't have a lot of crazy flavors or textures. But it is nice to be able to switch things up a bit from the crazy flavors of Ben and Jerry's ice creams. I wonder if Ben and Jerry's is going to make more Greek Yogurt flavors in the future.

So, now I don't have anymore Ben and Jerry's flavors in my freezer! I am going to have to make a trip next week to the supermarket and pick up a pint. There are 2 Ben and Jerry's Greek FroYo flavors left that I haven't tried yet. But I may go for a new ice cream flavor. Or a regular frozen yogurt flavor. I will see what the supermarket has when I go food shopping. 

That is it for now. I hope everyone has a great weekend! Happy Easter and Happy Passover!

I will have a review in a few days, I promise!!!

Sorry for the wait!!! Review on Ben and Jerry's Strawberry Shortcake Greek FroYo is coming soon!!!!!!!! I swear!!

Dublin Mudslide!

Finally a new flavor and review! It is Dublin Mudslide!

Ben and Jerry's Dublin Mudslide consists of Irish Cream Liqueur Ice Cream with Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies and a Coffee Fudge Swirl. There is a lot of stuff in this pint, along with a lot of different flavors.

I really taste the Coffee flavor the most in this pint. I think that flavor is more intense than the other flavors.  I have never tried Irish Cream Liqueur before so I don't know the taste of it very well (but after this flavor, I am going to have to buy some now). I do taste something that is not chocolate or coffee, and I believe it is the Irish Cream Liqueur. It goes well with the other flavors in the pint. I also really like the Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies. I can't really describe it but the cookies are not really in big chunks (see in the picture below). You can easily scrape the spoon in the pint and get a little bit of every flavor in one spoonful.

The next new flavor is Strawberry Shortcake Greek FroYo. I am hoping to have a review by the end of the week or early next week.

Raspberry Fudge Chunk Greek FroYo!

My second Ben and Jerry's Greek FroYo flavor is Raspberry Fudge Chunk.

Ben and Jerry's Raspberry Fudge Chunk consists of Raspberry Greek Frozen Yogurt with Fudge Chunks.

It seems that the Ben and Jerry's Greek yogurt flavors are not as crazy as the Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Ben and Jerry's Raspberry Fudge Chunk is very simple and the review for this flavor is short and sweet.

One thing I noticed right away was that the raspberry Greek yogurt wasn't as sour as the Ben and Jerry's blueberry Greek yogurt that I had last time (Blueberry Vanilla Graham). For some reason, the raspberry mellows out the sourness.

And the fudge chunks are HUGE! There are a lot of them in the pint. The chunks make the Greek FroYo more sweet which (I think) takes away the sour taste that the Greek yogurt naturally has.

The raspberry Greek yogurt and the fudge chunks together make a simple but very good FroYo flavor. Who doesn't love fudge and raspberries?!

I do not know what my next flavor is going to be. I am going home for spring break and I may or may not be able to get a new pint. If I get a new pint, I will have a review next week. If not, I will post a new review in about 2 weeks when I get back to school (which would be a review of Dublin Mudslide).

Ben and Jerry's Blueberry Vanilla Graham Greek FroYo Review!!

I tried the new Ben and Jerry's Blueberry Vanilla Graham Greek FroYo!

Blueberry Vanilla Graham consists of Blueberry and Vanilla Greek Frozen Yogurts with a Graham Cracker Swirl.

Love the cow!!

The one thing I noticed right away is that the FroYo has that slightly sourish kind of taste that Greek yogurt has. If you are not familiar with Greek yogurt, it tastes a little bit more sour than regular yogurt. All yogurt is made with milk and healthy bacteria. The difference between the 2 yogurts is that the Greek yogurt is strained to separate the whey (from the milk) and liquid. Along with the liquid goes some salt and sugar from lactose (an enzyme found in milk). This makes the Greek yogurt thicker and more sour. (Some of the information from this paragraph is from http://www.thatsfit.com/2011/03/30/too-good-to-be-food-dannon-greek-yogurt/).

There is a nice blend of the blueberry and vanilla Greek yogurts. One doesn't overpower the other. What I really liked about it is that the 2 yogurts are swirled together (along with the graham cracker swirl). Because of this, you get an generous portion of the blueberry and vanilla yogurts in one spoonful.

As for the graham cracker swirl, there isn't a lot of it in my pint. The swirl gives the yogurt a hint of the graham cracker flavor along with a different texture. The swirl gives every spoonful a little bit of a crunchy texture while the yogurt gives it a smooth texture. This allows the graham cracker swirl to enhance the flavor of the 2 Greek yogurts but it doesn't overpower them.

It looks so pretty!!!!

So that is it for Blueberry Vanilla Graham. If you didn't buy a Ben and Jerry's Greek FroYo flavor yet, don't hesitate to. I think that it is absolute genius for Ben and Jerry's to develop the idea of making Greek FroYo. And it is also really, really good.

The next flavor that I will be trying is the Ben and Jerry's Raspberry Fudge Chunk Greek FroYo. I might be able to get a review of it by next weekend but early next week seems more realistic.

Thanks for reading!!

I found the Greek FroYo!!

I went shopping yesterday and I found them!! Stop and Shop had 2 rows of just the Greek FroYo flavors.
I bought a pint of the Raspberry Fudge Chunk and Blueberry Vanilla Graham. My friend bought 2 pints of the Peanut Butter Banana.

Our freezer after food shopping!

I tried some of the Blueberry Vanilla Graham first and I hope to get a review out in a few days.

Thanks for reading!!

AND THE NEW FLAVORS ARE...

GREEK FROYO!!!!


I am really excited for this. I LOVE Greek yogurt (I always have some after my 5K training). These flavors will definitely add more diversity to the already diverse list of flavors that are out on the market now.  


I am interested to see how the texture of the FroYo will be and how it will compare to the traditional Greek yogurt and regular FroYo. And who knows, I might have to substitute my traditional Greek yogurt for B&J Greek yogurt FroYo after my training!


The new flavors include:
Banana Peanut Butter, Blueberry Vanilla Graham, Raspberry Fudge Chunk, Strawberry Shortcake, & Vanilla


I am going to look for these flavors next time I go food shopping (which maybe this week or next week).
