Yasso Frozen Greek Yogurt "Pints"


[New > Exclusive for Target in Oct 2025, now available elsewhere in 2026] 
Wait, in some weird fluke pattern, I appears that I do one Yasso review every six years, and it's always August. That's too funny!

Anyway, it still always surprises at how much the freezer aisle froyo market just disappeared. On the one hand, it was never amazing, but on the other hand, there were solid offering out there.

Keeping the Greek froyo dream alive (in the US) is Yasso. They've managed to stay viable by diversifying. Currently, they have 13 regular bars, 7 chocolate coated bars, 4 poppables, 3 sandwiches, and now the new (faux) pints and cups. First, let me show you the four flavors I didn't buy...

Have you had Sweetkiwi Froyo?


[New for 2024 - listed as sold out on their website]
I am of the age that I totally remember eating smurf yogurt.... ok, technically I am of the age that I remember remembering eating Smurf yogurt hehehehe. Anyway, I was a "fairly" picky eater as a kid, but I loved my Smurf yogurt. If I had to guess, it probably had a lot of sweetness and not a lot of tang. I was also a huge fan of putting grapenuts in my yogurt back then, but that's a story for another day.

Anyway, Shaw's was the only place really stocking new 2025 stuff and in the mix was Sweetkiwi, which is frozen whipped Greek yogurt. If you don't know them, they were on shark tank in April 2023 (season 14, ep19). They released two Smurf flavors in both faux pints and bars. The flavors are Blue Cookie Crunch and....

Yasso Vanilla Chocolate Crunch Bars


[New for 2020] Continuing on my little blast of grabbing anything that said new, let's review a product type (Greek Froyo) that I havent had in almost five years but also something from a company I haven't had in 6 years (Yasso). Boy times flies.....

Open Nature Cherry Greek Frozen Yogurt


So who wants to read a half baked review from June? No one? Well, blame the ice cream companies and all their early season nonsense. I am bored out of my ice cream mind right now with how little is going on. Sure I could have grabbed a smashburger peppermint shake today but I already know it will be awesome (and why are BK and Arby's still serving up pumpkin shakes?). Just about every seasonal flavor out right now is a repeat from last year. BORED I tell you, BORED. I think I've spent half of the last three months eating nothing but all natural Turkey Hill (I know it sounds like they pay me to say that, but it's true, I really have been eating a ton of it, I just bought another one tonight.... maybe if I keep bringing it up then they'll treat us all to an expanded line up next year!). Anyway, here's the review (with a "surprise" ending).

Dannon OIKOS Cookies & Cream Greek Frozen Yogurt


[2015-2016] Alright, our next review subject has been sitting in the freezer for... iunno, 4 months maybe? I bought it because I was having trouble getting in the mood for his minty cousin (which has been sitting in the freezer for like 7 months now). Well, I went downstairs to grab some Ben & Jerry's but instead I grabbed.....

Nancy's Fancy Frutti di Bosco Gelato


[By Nick] And it's time to look at a flavor from one of the first companies that I met at the Summer Fancy Food Show to send me free samples. Nancy's Fancy sent me a selection of all 6 of their current flavors. Let's start with the one that caught my eye first.

Turkey Hill Sea Salt Caramel Truffle Greek Froyo


[limited run in 2014 (Oct-Dec)] See, I was just trying to lure Nick into a false sense of security about our Turkey Hill competition. This limited edition container puts me at 6 vs 7  and I just need to find one random hidden container of Turkey Hill to rob him of his victory.... but at what cost?

Yasso Peanut Butter Cup Frozen Greek Yogurt Bars


[New for 2014] I've been meaning to get Yasso on the blog for awhile now, but you guys know I always fear the Greek yogurt tang. Well, after the peanut butter enlightened review, you said I needed to try the new Yasso peanut butter bar, so, here we go!

Turkey Hill Raspberry Chokolata Greek Frozen Yogurt


[By Nick, limited edition for July-Sept 2014] Time to extend my Turkey Hill sampling lead against Dubba with a double take of a couple new limited batch flavors. Both are from lines I've never tried before. I just covered their light Butter Pecan, now onto the raspberry!

Dannon OIKOS Strawberry Greek Frozen Yogurt


[2014-2016] "Dubba, haven't you already tried some OIKOS greek frozen yogurt before?". You are correct, but that was from Dannon's parent company, Stonyfield, so the other OIKOS I tried was actually organic. Basically Dannon yogurt is their outlet for budget friendly, non-organic yogurt, so it's not really a stretch for them to also put this out. They've already got the tech, now they can just use more cost-effective ingredients.

Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia Greek Frozen Yogurt

Dannon OIKOS Greek Frozen Yogurt


[By Nick, 2014-2016]
If you thought with all these companies producing gelato that the Greek yogurt fad would be over, you'd be sadly mistaken. Not only will we be seeing a Greek version of Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia but Dannon has also decided to produce their own pints under the Oikos line. First, don't ask me why there aren't any commercials of John Stamos promoting these (Update: there are now!). Second, yes there already is an Oikos line of frozen Greek yogurt made by their sister brand Stonyfield. The major difference here is that those are organic and fat free, while these are not. Also, the flavors Dannon offers are more enticing. Since I didn't want to go the basic route (like Strawberry), I grabbed their Key Lime and Black Cherry flavors. Both of these flavors don't get much love in the ice cream isle so I'm happy Dannon is showing them some respect.

Dannon OIKOS Key Lime Flavor Greek Frozen Yogurt. Lime products are hit and miss on the blog. It's one of those flavors that has a fine line between being terrible or amazing.

Weight Watchers Greek Frozen Yogurt


[2014-2015] Weight watchers has a few new 3 PointsPlus frozen treat cups for us this year including 2 greek frozen yogurts. Now greek yogurt really isn't my thing, but hey, if Wells wants me to try them for free, who am I to say no?

Yoplait Greek Frozen Yogurt Bars with Granola


[New for 2014, discontinued] Now Wells sent over this next sample for free, but to be honest, I would be hard pressed to walk by this one without trying it. It reminds me too much of the old Blue Bunny Aspen froyo bars from a half decade ago. Keep in mind there is also a blueberry variety, but blueberry flavors rarely work for me.

Friday Night Fight with
Yoplait & TCBY Peach Greek Frozen Yogurt


[by Nick, discontinued] IT’S TIIIIMMMEEEE for my first ever Friday Night Fight! What better way to celebrate National Peach Month than with a fight between two peach frozen greek yogurts. Tonight’s competitors are both relative newcomers to the freezer isle. In my opinion, peaches are one of the most underutilized mainstream fruits when it comes to frozen desserts. Besides Ben & Jerry’s Peach Cobbler and Haagen-Dazs Spiced Peach Crumble, no other flavors come to mind. I’m glad to see that they’re getting some love with this greek frozen yogurt trend though. Time for the introductions!

In the left corner, weighing in at a light (non-fat) 100 calories and 6 grams of protein per 69 gram serving is TCBY Peach greek frozen yogurt.

In the right corner, coming in at a hefty (low-fat) 130 calories and 7 grams of protein per 89 gram serving is Yoplait Peach frozen greek yogurt.

Weight Watchers Greek Frozen Yogurt Bars
Peach Swirl and Blueberry Swirl


[New for 2013, discontinued] So Weight Watchers has really bulked up their frozen lineup this year. "Today" (also known as April) we're going to pull out the two new greek frozen yogurt bars from our free samples and see how they stack up.

TCBY Greek Frozen Yogurt
Black Raspberry and Pomegranate Blueberry


[New for 2013, discontinued] When TCBY debuted their new frozen yogurt products last year, how long did you really think it would be before they debuted some kind of greek line up as well? Well, I've been walking by them on store shelves for a few months now, so let's take a peak at what I finally purchased.

I debated it for a few minutes, but in the end I decided to go with my beloved black raspberry and then chased that with blueberry & pomegranate (I know, you probably expected me to go strawberry).

Hood Greek Frozen Yogurt Reviews
Double Chocolate Chip, Blueberry & Vanilla Honey


[2013-2014] After my positive experience with the new Hood Raspberry Granola greek frozen yogurt, I was sent free samples of their other three flavors for comparison. I do like to keep something light in the freezer, so let's see how these stack up.

First up is double chocolate chip which is Hood's way of saying chocolate chocolate chip. We've got live and active cultures in this "chocolate lowfat frozen yogurt with chocolate chips".

Ben & Jerry's Pineapple Passionfruit
A Greek Frozen Yogurt Review


[By Nick, 2013-2014] Seeing as Dubba reviewed the only new Greek frozen yogurt flavor from Ben & Jerry’s that sounded palatable to me, I guess I’m stuck reviewing their Pineapple Passionfruit flavor.

Yoplait Raspberry Fig Greek Frozen Yogurt


[By Nick, new for 2012, discontinued] All I can say is wow right now. Today marks the one year anniversary of my first review here at On Second Scoop. To be honest, that was one year longer than I thought I would ever write for a website. I've had my ups and downs as well some surprises this year. I am very grateful to be able to share them all with you guys. I just wanted to take a second to thank some people. First off, thank you Dubba for letting me write for your blog and putting up with my random emails on a daily basis. I'd like to thank all of my fellow bloggers for all the support and help they've given to me throughout the year. Last but not least I want to thank you all of you guys (and girls). Without you, my reviews wouldn't even exist. If you've left me a comment, positive or negative, I highly appreciate it. Even if you haven't left a comment but just read my reviews, thanks as well. It really means a lot to me. Like always if you have a comment, suggestion or just want to talk send me an email nickrovo[at]gmail[dot]com or hit me up on twitter @NickRovo. I love hearing from you everyone! Well here's hoping for another great year of reviews and hopefully I won’t almost die this time…

Okay enough reminiscing, we’ve got a review to do. I thought what better way to celebrate my one year than by trying a product that incorporates the main flavor of my first review, the underutilized fig. When Dubba first posted about the new yoplait frozen yogurt, their Raspberry Fig greek yogurt was the only flavor to peak my interest. Ever since then, I've been on the lookout for it but to no luck. When Wells asked me if there were any of their new products I wanted to try, I jumped at the opportunity and requested a free pint. Seeing as my love for raspberries equals that of Dubba’s, this one seems right up my alley.

Just like the other Yoplait products, there's no description to be found on the packaging or online. I'm just going to think rationally and say that it’s a raspberry greek frozen yogurt base with figs mixed in. Yeah, that doesn't sound too exciting but I'm curious to see how the pairing of raspberries and figs turns out.
