You may not even seen on your store shelves yet, but you will. Big thanks to Stone Ridge for letting me try before I buy, but there is a problem: I am totally the WRONG person to be reviewing these products. I just don't like tart yogurt. It seems like it's a good product, and I dig two of the flavor choices ( strawberry and pomegranate blueberry ), but I just can't get over the tartness. This blog has let you know that I definitely lean towards the sweet side of life, not too sweet ofcourse, but sweet is the way to go for me.This doesn't mean I can't hand over some details and get you excited about this upcoming product (well, if you're a yogurt lover anyway). Stone Ridge is starting off with four flavors: Vanilla, Peach, Strawberry and Pomegranate Blueberry. The containers you see before you are quart size, though I'm not sure what the MSRP will be. A 1/2 cup serving weighs 85g and gives you 110 calories, 10 from fat (that's 1g total fat, 0.5g of saturated fat). There's no fiber, and 2 grams of protein ...oh, and 8% of your calcium for the day. Like most yogurts, it contains live active yogurt cultures including l. acidophilus and bifidobacterium. The label says that yogurt should taste like yogurt, and it does ...it just tastes like the kind of yogurt I don't like.
While I tried a bite of the vanilla (eh), and two bites of strawberry (better), my first official bowl was made up of pomegranate blueberry. I picked this flavor because when I saw my 4 choices, I started thinking about Hola Fruta Pom Blueberry and thought this might be an interesting variation on that flavor combo. Well, from bite one, I was having trouble with the tartness. I kept going thinking I could get use to it, but it just wasn't working for me. Now the label suggests sprinkling something on top, and I do love grape nuts in my yoplait, so I gave it a try. Yeah...didn't help me, just made things too crunchy. It seems like a quality product, and I want to enjoy it, I just can't. You'll have to pick some up and make your own decision if you like it or not.Manufacturing note: Yes, Stone Ridge products are made in the same factory as Kemps products, but this does not mean they are Kemps products. Stone Ridge has their own recipes, they just don't have their own facilites. This is not uncommon in the industry.

I bought some of the Pom-Blueberry flavor yesterday, I LOVE IT!! I was looking for an alternative to the high fat premium ice creams and saw this brand. The frozen yogurt is creamy and doesnt have that "fake" ice cream taste. If you are a fan of regular yogurt and not the more sweeter brands you will enjoy the tart flavor. At a price point of $2.50 I am adding this frozen yogurt to my reduced fat eating plan!
I love it. I am trying to reduce my sugar intake and I am also lactose intolerant so I have tried many brands of frozen yogurt. This and Kemps fat free frozen yogurt are my favorites. I enjoy the tartness and I sprinkle crumbled graham crackers on it. I have two more flavors to try, the strawberry was good and I love the peach. I also like the creamy texture.
I hope they bring out some new flavors soon.
We have tried all but the Strawberry, and love peach and pomegranate-blueberry the most. The tartness against a piece of pie is a beautiful thing. I won't go back to regular Ice Cream or sweet Frozen Yogurt again. We even tried a Haagen dazs Tart yogurt that was waxy by comparison. This is the best. A little goes a long way.
It was terrible! No one in my family could get past the vinegar-like taste! However, if your taste buds were somehow damaged, or you just really like tart stuff... then you have found yourself a product!!!!
Where can I buy this awesome product? i live in Atlanta, GA.
go to http://www.supervalu.com/sv-webapp/ and scroll to the bottom of the page, there you will see a list of supervalu owner grocery store chains. which ever one is local to you, that's where you will find it.
It just came to our store. I like sweet creamy ice cream, but usually eat sorbets to avoid the cholesterol (a chronic problem). Wow...this stuff was great. I absolutely loved it. I got it last night and have gone through half a container...
This is some of the best frozen yogurt I've ever eaten.. I love the tartness! I found it in Idaho and now I'm in North Carolina ... where can I find it here? Please help!
I brought the Pom-Bluebery and strawberry. I love both flavors..I love it because it's not to sweet. It's just right...
