Are you a sucker for the people who give out samples in the grocery store? I am! This weekend I tried a new product by Quaker and I am in love.
Here's the description of the product from their Facebook page:
What's 2 Love:
* This yogurt is very creamy and rich. It still has the sharp, tangy flavor that is associated with Greek yogurt, but is also slightly sweet and very smooth.
* I like that you can control how much of the mix-in flavor you want to add to your yogurt. Sometimes when you buy premixed yogurt it seems like you are tasting everything but the yogurt itself. You don't have that problem with this yogurt because they give you just enough for it to be thoroughly mixed.
* They come in yum-tastic flavors. I purchased three different types (strawberry, blackberry & raspberry, and caramelized almonds). I have no complaints about the way they taste. I'm pretty shocked that I like the yogurt that doesn't have any fruit.
* They are inexpensive. I am a big fan of the McDonald's Parfait and this gives me the same feel at a much lower cost per serving. If you want, you can add your own granola. I do and it takes this yogurt from being great to out of this world good!
Downers:
* They highlight the fact that this product is made with reduced milk and is packed with protein and calcium. This is very true, however, it is loaded with sugar. The three flavors that I purchased have between 18-21 grams of sugar per serving.
* Also, if you are watching your calories this might not be the most efficient way to spend your daily calorie allowance. The three flavors that I purchased have between 140-220 calories. This can seem to be a bit much for a snack, but is not that bad if you consume this for breakfast. For instance my breakfast menu might be:
Black coffee (5 calories)
Blackberry & Raspberry Müller™ yogurt (140 calories)
Bear Naked Banana Granola-1 tsp (12 calories)
Jennie-O Extra Lean Turkey Bacon-1 slice (20 calories)
Whole Wheat Toast-1 slice (100 calories)
1 bottle of water
I get a pretty full and balanced breakfast for under 300 calories.
So, all in all, I give this new product by Quaker 4 out of 5 smiley faces. They would score better if they provided an option for those who cannot consume products high in sugar.

Smooches!
Here's the description of the product from their Facebook page:
About Delightfully creamy and deliciously fun to eat, Müller™ yogurt is a totally new taste you can scoop, swirl, or dip any time of day.
Description
Müller™ yogurt, beloved in Europe for generations, is now available on this side of the pond thanks to The Quaker Oats Company and Müller. Müller yogurt comes in many varieties and flavor experiences to try. Müller™ FrütUp™ yogurt is a brand new way to enjoy parfait-style yogurt with a light, airy fruit mousse on top. Müller™ Corner™ and Müller™ Greek Corner™, popular in the U.K., each have a two-chamber cup that includes creamy yogurt in one chamber and delicious mix-ins like fruit, caramelized almonds, crunchy cereal and chocolate in the other. All Müller yogurt is made from reduced-fat milk and is a good source of calcium and protein. Once you taste it, there’s just one word to describe it – YUM! For now, Müller yogurt is available at most grocery stores in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic section of the country, but keep in touch -- we will be expanding soon (check out our store locator). For all of you about to try this totally new taste – our spoons salute you! Happy mixing!
