Taro Yogurt Mix - Reeses, Coconut and Almonds!

*7 out of 10 

Ingredients:
- Mochi
- Reeses peanut butter
- Coconut flakes
- Sliced almonds

I have always been a fan of our taro combinations. In fact, I would actually give this a higher score except that the others are firm about it not being any better than a 7.  What is good about this combination is that overall, it is not too sweet and the first few bites are extremely pleasant.  The aroma is appetizing and I think, it just tastes good. The Reeses peanut butter cups, coconut and taro yogurt compliments each other extremely well while the almonds adds a crunch factor.  The only problem is that the coconut flakes and Reeses, gets harder when put into the cold yogurt. So that as you keep eating,  the combination actually evolves into something not so enjoyable. However, I would DEFINITELY recommend that you try this flavor if either you are a fan of taro of if you are just hanging out with your friends - not really feeling like eating a ton of yogurt - but want to get something small and yummy.

Seasonal: Pumpkin Yogurt - Thanksgiving mix 1

*8 out of 10

Ingredients:
- Banana slices
- Cheesecake bites
- Walnuts
- Graham cracker crumbs

This combination is absolutely delicious.  I can't take the credit for this mix, because it was all Mike.  I think he made like three or four of these before we decided to actually post it.  Anyways, assuming that you enjoy all of the ingredients and that you are not allergic this is a MUST try.  First of all let me just say that the pumpkin yogurt is more thick an rich compared to maybe some of the others like coconut, which just means that the flavors are not watered down and therefore the yogurt is good by itself. The banana is also rich in flavor but it doesn't overwhelm the yogurt, it is a good compliment. Not to mention, the gooey texture of the banana with the crunch of the walnuts leaves every bite complex and enjoyable.  Lastly, think of the cheesecake as a medium texture that leans on the pasty side and combined with the crumbs of the graham cracker, it balances out the palette as the yogurt melts.  Sometimes the combination is good right when you put it into your mouth but then gets boring as it all dissolves and turns to mush.  The graham cracker prevents that because of how dry it is.  Every bite down to the aftertaste is enjoyable.

AND WE ARE BACK!!

Hello everyone,  

It has been quite some time since our last blog post.  The team here at T.Y.E have been busy with a bunch of new projects.  However, during our break we got the opportunity to talk to Jane Kim - a representative from Yogurtland corporate about this blog!  That was an exciting experience for us and maybe in the future, who knows where this project will take us.  But after much reflection over the past few months, and from the feedback that we got, I have decided that we are going to push the blog at full speed. There have been a lot of people in our community encourage us to keep the blog going because they've enjoyed trying out the new combinations, not to mention Mike's funny videos, which I am sure we will see more of. Anyways, I am sorry that it took us so long to get back in this project.  For those of you who are just joining us now, this blog is going to be THE place for you to find a good combination of yogurt next time you go to Yogurtland.  We got you covered - if you have any ideas too, don't hesitate to be apart of this dialogue.  Lastly, 

THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE SUPPORTED US!!!!  WE APPRECIATE YOU!

Superfruit and Mango?!

*5 out of 10

Ingredients:
- Superfruit yogurt
- Mango yogurt
- Mango
- Blackberry
- Kiwi
- Almonds
- Condensed Milk

Overall, this flavor tastes similar to the Mango on Mango combination except that it is just not as good. Why? Well for one, you can't taste the Superfruit yogurt because the mango along with the other fruits overpower the yogurt.  Remember that when combining two yogurts, there needs to be elements that are complementary with each other. Balance is the key - you need to be able to taste both flavors of yogurt.  In this case, the richness of the mango yogurt just destroys the Superfruit. Having blackberry and kiwi makes the yogurt extremely sour. You would think that the condensed milk would do a good job of evening out the yogurt but it is fairly inconsistent.  Some bites are extremely sour while others become extremely sweet.  I think that the condensed milk and the fruit make a good combination, and I will keep that in mind for future flavors, but it just wasn't as enjoyable as I thought that it would be. I couldn't really pick out the blackberry again, I think that was because of the mango.  Also, the almonds is a good texture replacer but it wasn't sweetened so it doesn't do complete justice when replacing granola.  If you are trying the Mango on Mango flavor and you want your yogurt to be more sour, then I would suggest your replace the granola with the almonds.

Mango on Mango Goodness!

*8 out of 10  - (9 or 10 if you are mango lover)

Ingredients:
- Mango yogurt
- Mango
- Kiwi
- Granola


Out of all the flavors that I have eaten, I can honestly say that this is one of my favorites.  There really isn't much to say other than - get it, its worth it.  If you are a mango fanatic this has your name on it. I really would consider this as a potential "classic".  It is simple in its ingredients yet noticeable in its quality. I was eating this yogurt next to a few other flavors and believe me, it stands out as an 8. The reason why it is so good is that first off, the mango yogurt has a richness and a consistency that is smooth and emulates the fruit very closely.  Then, when you mix the mango in (the key is to put in the mango that is ripe and soft) you get the texture of the yogurt with the natural sweetness of the fruit and the combination is just delightful.  Mango on Mango alone is good but it might be a little boring so if you add the kiwi, you will give the yogurt a sourness that contrasts the mango not to mention the kiwi's texture blends in nicely.  For some people like me, I don't like my yogurt too sour so adding the granola is a double bonus because not only does the granola even out the sourness, since it is naturally sprinkled with sugar, but it adds a crunch factor that I just love.  The result is that you have a yogurt that is fairly balanced in all areas.  I had a few people try this combination and they commented that this would be a "healthy" choice - something like a breakfast yogurt?  Try it out and let us know what you think.
