Wendy's Low fat Yogurt with Granola Review

Rating:

yogurt On July 22, 2005, Wendy's added Low fat strawberry-flavored yogurt with granola to the menu. Of course, I didn't find out until today, and I decided to give it a try. I hoped that I would finally scoop those damned good reviewers over at The Impulsive Buy and The Message Whore. Those two are always trying things out before me, but this time, I have 'em beat. Turns out that LordJezo over at The Message Whore is on vacation in NYC and he had his mind on more exotic delicacies like rice balls - and The Impulsive one was planning a trip to the deep sea after drinking Koyo Ma Ha Lo deep sea water. So here I was, the first one to review Wendy's yogurt ...

The amount of yogurt that came in the container was more than I thought it would be - looks like about 7 ounces. It was smooth, and creamy, with no fruit pieces. It comes with a packet of granola. Normally, I wouldn't have bothered with this - I mean, who needs the extra calories on a Monday? Weekends are not usually the time that the healthiest eating gets done. Nevertheless, I did add it to the yogurt just so I could write about the whole experience. In my opinion, don't bother. While it tastes quite fine, it really doesn't improve the flavor much - save a few calories here. It comes in a plain plastic container, which has Wendy's embedded in the top. The container is half full with the yogurt - looks as if they scooped it from a big tub and put it in the container. I have nothing against this personally - if it saves me a few ~~bucks~~ cents, then I'm all for it.

The yogurt with granola has 300 calories, 6 g fat, 2 g saturated fat, and 22 g sugar. Hmmm .... do I need to even comment? There is a bit too much sugar, but more than that, if this is a part of your lunch for example, make sure it's a big part! Yoplait Light has 100 calories! That's all I'm going to say about that.

Wendy's said the reason they added yogurt to the menu, is that they listened to their customers after introducing the fruit bowl with the yogurt as just a dip Apparently, the customers they listened to desired to buy yogurt from a fast food joint for $1.38 instead of getting it for $0.50 in the supermarket.
