Food Review: Voskos Greek Yogurt (Fig)

Today, I tried Voskos greek yogurt, exotic fig flavor. I had wanted to try greek yogurt, since I had heard it was thicker than your traditional Yoplait/Dannon variety. And I saw "fig" flavor and though, "Why not? Let's be crazy." Upon my first bite (which was mere minutes ago) I thought two things simultaneously:

"I like this thickness."

"I do not like this sour aftertaste."

Overall, I do not think I'll be buying this again. I took two bites and threw it away. I just don't like that odd (to me) sour flavor. Now, those of you that enjoy your yogurt more tart/sour, will probably enjoy this brand.

So I'm left eating dry granola. Oh well. There's always cheese.... ;)

Food Review: Soy Yogurt

The other day my fiance and I went to a semi-health food store to look around and see what they have to offer. I spoke earlier about making my own trail mix and granola and we bought all of our ingredients at this store in bulk containers (mostly fruits/nuts/seeds). Well, we also decided to try new yogurts. We each got a Soy yogurt. He got blueberry, I got black cherry. Yesterday he told me his was "disgusting" and "sour-tasting." I opened mine with trepidation today. I was suprised. Mine tasted sweet. It was not disgusting. In fact, it was quite palatable. You could taste that it wasn't "normal" (ie was made from soy) but it was a unique flavor that wasn't bad. I enjoyed my yogurt and happily ate it with the granola we made. The yogurt was not fat free (@ 2 grams) and had around 150 calories. So it's pretty comporable to other yogurts.

Not pictured was another brand I tried called Brown Cow. I tried the Boysenberry and found it to be quite delicious.

I'll keep you posted as I try more things.
