Yoplait Yogurt and Cereal Bars

By: Tanya Taylor, PhD | Apr 18, 2006

Instead of an ice cream bar, Yoplait recently introduced a yogurt and cereal bar. There is an outer coating of cereal covering a rather thick middle layer of frozen yogurt. If there is one thing you should know about me from reading my reviews over the past year, is that I love Yoplait - love the fat-free yogurt and love the breakfast smoothies. BUT, while I didn't hate these cereal bars, I certainly don't think I will be buying them again.

The cereal outer layer tasted like cold cornflakes. It's not that it had a disgusting taste, it just felt wrong to be crunching on cornflakes while I was eating a frozen dessert. It might have been better if the cereal had been chocolate flavored, and perhaps not tasted so much like cornflakes - maybe Cocoa Puffs instead? The yogurt middle layer - which is low fat - really didn't have much flavor to it, even though it should have been strawberry. It also could have been a little sweeter in my opinion, and I also considered it to be too thick. But, maybe if it tasted better, I wouldn't complain about how much of it there was. I sure wasn't complaining when I reviewed Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches yesterday, and they were about the same thickness.

Yoplait Yogurt and Cereal Bars comes in a box containing 4 bars, which was priced at $2.97. One bar has 120 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, 1 gram saturated fat, 14 grams of sugar and 4 grams of protein. The cereal bars also have 15 vitamins and minerals, ranging from 10-20%, and 45% for calcium.

So nutritionally, the Yoplait yogurt cereal bars are not that bad, but if you're craving something sweet, you might pass on this one. I might have preferred the frozen yogurt bar without the cereal coating, which would actually save a few calories too. Or how about some yogurt Italian ice, similar to Luigis.
