#TGIF! If you follow me on Instagram (@TheKristenDiary), it's no secret that I'm a huge foodie. I love alllllll of the snacks-- we're talking the good stuff that really isn't good for you (aren't those the best, though???). I'll always be a sucker for some Cheetos but it definitely makes things challenging when you're trying to be healthier. With summer coming up, I've been trying to cut back but most days I find myself wanting something sweet to munch on after dinner. My favorite ice creams are loaded in calories + sugar so I decided to pick up some Yasso Greek Yogurt Bars (spoiler alert-- we are reviewing them today!).
I actually remember trying one out years ago (I'm pretty sure I liked it) but I never was a big at home ice cream person until the last few years. Fast forward to now, I'm a huge fan + I recently had the Yasso bars pop-up on my radar (thank you, IG!). If you're not familiar-- they are made from greek yogurt so they have a lot less calories and sugar than regular ice cream. I thought why not do a mini review on here? I want the blog to be a mix of everything I love-- including food, snacks, etc. Hopefully you all will like these posts too!
YASSO GREEK YOGURT BARS
I couldn't decide on just one so I decided to buy three different flavors: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip + Dipped Sea Salt Caramel Chocolate Crunch. I've had a few of each over the past few weeks... here's what I think!
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: This one is SO yummy, I love it. It has a vanilla greek yogurt base with chunks of chocolate chip cookie dough. The vanilla has a little bit of a tangy hint from the greek yogurt which I actually really like. I do feel like the cookie dough bites don't have as strong of a flavor (I notice the vanilla more) but they are still delicious! The texture on these is also very creamy.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip: I am a huge Reese's fan so I know the chocolate + peanut butter game. I'll be honest-- this one let me down just a little bit. They are still good and I enjoyed them, however they are more of a chocolate fudge bar with a very subtle salty/peanuty hint. I was definitely expecting more peanut butter chips and flavor. I will say that the bars in this box were a little frost bit and icy so that could have something to do with it?
Sea Salt Caramel Chocolate Crunch (Dipped): This one is another home run!! The sea salt caramel ice cream is covered in a crunchy dark chocolate shell which is so yummy. The yogurt has a rich, caramel flavor but is not sickeningly sweet or too overkill. I love the yogurt by itself and mixed with the shell. It is SO delicious, you definitely need to try this one!
I loved trying all three flavors and enjoyed them all! Obviously my two faves are the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and the Sea Salt Caramel Chocolate Crunch! I definitely recommend those and will buy both again. While I liked the Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip, I wasn't wowed. I don't think I'll repurchase it but I will try their Dipped Peanut Butter Chocolate Crunch! For not being regular ice cream-- they're pretty damn good. I like the flavor and texture of the bars + that they are calorie friendly! These ones range from 100 calories (non-dipped) to 150 (dipped) which is amazing for the size of the bar and the taste. I found that Target had the best variety + selection of flavors so I ordered mine for pickup from there!
