User food review: Oikos Chocolate Greek Yogurt Review
Check out foodreview101.com for more recipes, ideas, and reviews.
Greek yogurt seems to be one of the new 'hot' items on everybody's grocery list this year and for good reason. It has less sugar, fat, and more protein; but when companies start getting into the flavoring aspect of the product is when it starts to take on too much sugar. As is the case with this new yogurt from Oikos.,The new chocolate yogurt sounds like a really great idea, and it is because the taste and texture were very similar to that of pudding. The only concern with this yogurt is the amount of sugar that it has is almost the same as that of pudding.
I don't think that you're able to purchase the yogurt by itself, you can only buy it in a 4-pack and if you've ever bought Oikos yogurt you know that it can start to add up after just 1 cup. The taste is a nice smooth chocolate taste which can help people who always seem to be a slave to the cocoa bean. Oikos says that "sometimes you just need chocolate" and this is true for many people out there, and this could actually be a much better way to get it then perhaps that Hershey's bar you have hiding in your cabinet. The texture isn't exactly like pudding in that it doesn't have the smooth consistency that you relate to pudding, but if you have ever had Greek yogurt before, expect the same texture. Also don't be fooled by the picture that depicts it being some chocolate river in Willy Wonka's factory, because it is nothing like that.
Overall (3 out of 5). It only gets a 3 because it has just a little too much sugar to be rewarded a higher marking, but if you're at the grocery store and are able to find this product go ahead and give it a go.
