Yoplait Delights Chocolate Raspberry Parfait
By: | Oct 6, 2009
When I spotted Yoplait Delights Chocolate Raspberry Parfait near the Jell-O cups, I was immediately sold. They seem like a "grown-up" version to regular yogurt with rich a sounding flavor combination.
The top simply tasted like raspberry yogurt, which was nothing special but did offer some nice fruity notes. However, what I was really itching to introduce my taste buds to was the chocolate goodness that consumed about 2/3 of the little plastic cup. Therefore, I sunk my spoon down to the bottom and enjoyed the full experience. The chocolate yogurt has a flavor similar to Jell-O Pudding; but the artificial sweeteners do leave a slight aftertaste that I could live without. Overall, the texture is slightly thicker than your average yogurt and the chocolate flavor tends to steal the show, although the raspberry essence is not completely lost.
Each 4 ounce Yoplait Delights Chocolate Raspberry Parfait cup provides 100 calories, 1.5 grams of total fat which includes 1 gram of saturated fat (2% & 4% of the daily value), 90 mg of sodium (4% of the DV), 5 grams of protein and 18 grams of carbohydrates including 13 grams of sugar. The ingredients include the artificial sweeteners sucralose and acesulfame K. Raspberries also is included in the ingredients list, although there are no fruit pieces in the yogurt (don't let the pictures of raspberries on the label fool you).
While, I enjoyed every bite of my chic Yoplait Delights Chocolate Raspberry Parfait, despite the $2.79 for 4 price tag, I think I will stick with either Jell-O Sugar Free Chocolate Vanilla Pudding Snack or Yoplait Light Fat Free Yogurt (depending on what I'm in the mood for). On another note, have you tried freezing Yoplait Whips (like this commercial suggests)? As you can see here, it turns your yogurt creation into an ice cream type consistency that is hard to beat.

As quite the yogurt fanatic, I have not yet tried Yoplait Delights, but I'm told by my sister (also a yogurt/pudding enthusiast) that Jello's new Light Mousse line is fabulous. It's currently sold in only limited stores though, as she told me the only supermarket she's been able to locate it is in Wegmans. Also, Dannon Light 'N Fit Pineapple Coconut is a great new flavor with decent sized pineapple chunks!
I liked this! I though the texture was more like pudding than yogurt (I usually make my own), but it was good and more dessert-like. I also got the Lemon Torte and Creme Caramel flavors (hey, they were on sale!). The lemon was nicely tart, but the caramel was too sweet for me, as I'm not much of a dessert eater. I think there's another flavor, too.
Oooh I wasn't much of a fan of these, but I only tried the Creme Caramel. It tasted like pudding mixed with 10 packets of Splenda!
I saw these in the store recently. I tried the lemon torte one first and loved it. I am very nitpicky about artificial sweeteners and often avoid them, but the lemony flavor was so rich and tart. I couldn't taste any of that sweetener aftertaste at all.
Then I tried the chocolate raspberry. It wasn't bad, but I was very underwhelmed. And the artificial sweetener was definitely more obvious. The lemon was a keeper though.
And thanks for the reminder about the yoplait whips! I saw that on a blog and meant to try it, and then I totally forgot.
