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!!

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).
