SuperFRUIT!!!


*6 out of 10

Ingredients:

- Superfruit Tart Yogurt
- Blackberry
- Blueberry
- Strawberry
- Mochi

Superfruit Tart yogurt is a fruit blend made up of pomegranate, acai, cranberry, and blueberry. It's basically the replacement to the unavailable Pomegranate Tart yogurt but it still can't hold a candle to the very missed yogurt. Well, Superfruit is not too sweet or tangy but it does have a good sweetness to it. There is definitely a distinction of fruit within this tart yogurt which makes it appealing. The berry fruits go well with the yogurt but I could go without the mochi because they were comparatively too sweet . However, I did like the chewy texture that I got with the mochi but I would have preferred something a little more crunchy like almonds, walnuts, or granola. This combo was pretty average and it seems like a lot of things don't mix well with Superfruit but I could see myself getting this flavor more often then not.

Christmas time! - Red Velvet



* 6.5 out of 10

Ingredients:

- red velvet cupcake batter yogurt
- chopped peanuts
- reese's pieces
- yogurtland christmas pretzel


The red velvet cupcake batter is back by popular demand! What was seasonal last year seems like it is here to stay. On its own, the yogurt is fairly sweet. Compared to others, it is equivalent to being as sweet as the cheesecake. It does not particularly resemble what one might expect of red velvet, in fact it taste similar to chocolate but nevertheless when mixed with the right ingredients, it can be fairly delicious. Reese's pieces goes well with red velvet and the christmas pretzel compliments the yogurt with its crunchy texture. I would recommend crushing the pretzels so that it is easier to eat. Thinking more about it, I don't think it is necessary to include the chopped peanuts. In fact I think it covers up the flavor of the reese's pieces. The pretzel is a good choice because the saltiness of the pretzel tones down the sweetness of the red velvet yogurt. If this is a concern for you then I would recommend cutting down the amount of pretzel you are using. Overall, this is definitely worth trying especially during the Christmas season!

Chocolate Fantasy



*6 out of 10


Ingredients:
- double cookies and cream yogurt
- oreos
- walnut
- malt ball
- chocolate sprinkle
- ghirardelli chocolate syrup
- yogurt chips

If you have been obsessing over something chocolate all day, then this is a combination that you need to try.  Overall the yogurt is quite tasty but you need to brace yourself for a toothache. This is probably one of the sweetest flavors that we have tasted.  Definitely not something that I would recommend getting regularly.  There is so much packed in this one cup of yogurt that makes it difficult to address all of the elements. The mix of yogurt chips, walnuts, chocolate sprinkle, malt balls and oreos makes every bite a "crunchy" one.  The ghirardelli syrup raises the sweetness level of the yogurt to another level so keep that in mind.  *Remember: that when using chocolate syrup only use a miniscule amount.  The richness and heaviness of syrup is what often causes people to be unsatisfied because they assumed that their yogurt would be less sweet. In this particular case, it wouldn't be a bad idea to remove the syrup as well as the yogurt chips.  That way the yogurt still has most of its primary elements but it is not over the top.

Mango Tart w/ Kiwis and Granola


*7 out of 10

Ingredients:
- Mango tart yogurt
- Kiwis
- Granola

I gotta admit, when I came home to this, I was a bit turned off by the look of what was inside the cup. I mean, what are those brown clumps in the yogurt?! However, I was pleasantly surprised by both the taste and texture of the yogurt. The mango tart yogurt itself is already pretty tasty. It's sweet and proportionately tart; a good balance. The kiwis further add to the tart taste of the yogurt. But it's the granola that really shines here. The sweetness of the granola balances the yogurt and kiwi very well and the crunchy texture makes the yogurt a joy to eat. If there were one addition to be made, it would be fresh mangos.

Another Plain and Simple


*9.5 out of 10


Ingredients:
- Plain tart yogurt
- Blueberries
- Raspberries
- Strawberries
- Mochi balls
- Condensed milk (just a little)

As the title suggests, this is another pretty basic yogurt combination: plain tart yogurt and fruits. Honestly, I don't think there's any way you can go wrong with that. The yogurt and fruits compliment each other excellently, the mochi balls add the perfect texture (I personally like chewy things A LOT), and the condensed milk balances out the tartness of the yogurt and fruits perfectly.
If there was one yogurt I'd get every time I go to Yogurtland, it'd be plain tart topped off with fruits. There's absolutely no way you can mess it up. It's simple, it's plain, and it's good.

So there you have it. Mix and match plain tart yogurt with as many (or as little) fruits as you want and you'll have a pristine creation every time!

Vanilla Wafer with Cap'n Crunch & Vanilla Wafers



*7.5 out of 10

Ingredients:
- Vanilla Wafer yogurt
- Cap'n Crunch cereal
- Vanilla Wafer cookies

This is one of the sweeter yogurts that you can get at Yogurtland, but the good thing about it is that it's not very rich like the NY Cheesecake or Red Velvet. I like the texture that Cap'n Crunch adds to the yogurt. My favorite thing about the yogurt is the cookies. The cookies were very delicious, although they can get soggy if you leave them in for too long.
I wouldn't recommend any fruit with the yogurt but maybe some dry chocolate.

Tiramisu with Bananas


*6 out of 10
(1 = never get it again, 10 = worth getting every time)

Ingredients:
- Tiramisu yogurt
- Sliced bananas

A fairly simple combination but if you are craving something Tiramisu, this will be disappointing. The Tiramisu yogurt tastes very similar to the coffee nevertheless it is fairly enjoyable. The Tiramisu was fairly sweet, which is why the banana is a good mix because the banana isn't too sweet and it keeps the texture consistent. If you are looking to add a crunch factor into the mix, I would recommend almonds.

So, strictly speaking, the yogurt's okay, but it's not tiramisu.
