Ben and Jerry's Frozen Greek Yogurt - Review

Some time ago, I saw an ad for Ben & Jerry's Frozen Greek Yogurt and knew I just had to try it! Let me tell you, I am so glad I did! Just like the other Ben & Jerry ice creams, the frozen Greek yogurt doesn't disappoint at all!

This time around I picked up the Blueberry Vanilla Graham and the Banana Peanut Butter. Of the two, the BVG is both my hubby and my favorite flavor. The frozen yogurt base is creamy and smooth as you would expect with ice cream and as far as I am concerned it tastes just like ice cream. To me, tartness that typically comes with Greek yogurt is pretty subtle in this product. I think this is what shocked my hubby because he absolutely does not like Greek yogurt. He thinks it is too tart and cannot stand the taste. But when he had this, he was so surprised at how yummy it was (I wasn't it is B&J's...can you ever go wrong?). After he tried it, he was trying to "coerce" me into giving him my pint...oh heck no!

The best part is always the flavor for me. Get a spoonful of the blueberry, the yogurt and the vanilla graham swirl and your mouth will be partying! The flavors are so authentic and so darn yummy! Same is true for the Banana Peanut Butter flavor. The yogurt is banana flavored (yum!) and has PB swirls. The best part about that flavor is that the PB semi hardens in the frozen yogurt giving a teensy bit of crunch making it a nice change in texture. I just can't say enough how yummy they are!

Now for the healthy folks, the frozen yogurt is about 60 calories more per serving (1/2 cup) than the typical Greek yogurt so that isn't terrible but because of it's base of milk and eggs the fat and cholesterol content is higher. But since I am  no expert, you can review the stats yourself and make your decision on whether it is best for you. Still I think it is a better alternative than regular ice cream.

Also, for those of you that do not know, I am lactose intolerant. Because of this, I usually stay far away from ice cream. It's just not digestible for me. This frozen yogurt in general work very well for me. I have no problems eating it and no after effects either. So that is a huge plus since it is very hard to find the Lactaid brand ice cream. So if you have the same issues, I would suggest trying this out. It may be another alternative, especially if you find it hard to stay away from ice cream.

Lastly, I purchased my pints at the local Giant Food Store but I am sure you can find it in your local grocery where the other B&J ice cream pints are found. If you would like to see where a certain flavor is located near you, click HERE and find your flavor. Click on your flavor and you will be taken to a page just for it. On the right side of the page, you can enter your zip code to locate the flavor. It will list all stores near that zip that sell your particular flavor...How cool is that??!!

So stop sitting around and get your Greek on!
