Chobani Flip - Raspberry Choco Fix


Vanilla Chocolate Chip Low-fat Yogurt with Raspberries...

This product intrigued me.  I like ice cream and I like yogurt.  In general, I'm not a fan of yogurt masquerading as pudding, key lime pie, or anything like that.  To me, it doesn't cut it.  When I want dessert a yogurt just won't satisfy.

Well last week when buying our stash of yogurt I noticed that these little treats were on sale as well and grabbed a few.  Mr. D loves sweet treats so it wouldn't be a total waste. 
Action Shot!

Now I'll admit that I don't get the whole "side cup" thing when it comes to fancy yogurts.  Why not just add it in for me, why do I have to do all the work?  

My first impression was that it looked like chocolate chip ice cream with a side of preserves/jelly.  Guess what?!  That's exactly what it tastes like. Well, actually, it's more like slightly melted chocolate chip ice cream with jelly. Was it good? Well... it had a taste reminiscent of a real chocolate chip ice cream bowl with some strawberry syrup.  But it did nothing to satisfy my dessert craving.  If anything it wanted me to get into the tub of the good stuff in the freezer.  

For 150 calories, I could have a serving size of some low fat ice cream that would have been just as, if not more, satisfying.  One good side note is that it packs a good 10g of protein (thanks Chobani!) so hopefully it will hold me over than that bowl of ice cream that I'm now longing for but it also packs a whopping 17g of sugar.  Maybe if I just lick the lid a little it will make it all better...
