Breyers Light Yogurt (Cinnamon Bun) Review

Breyers Cinnamon Bun Light YogurtBreyers Light Yogurt comes in a ton of interesting flavors, many of which have dessert-inspired flavors, such as Black Cherry Jubilee, Strawberry Cheesecake). The yogurt was on sale for 79 cents, and since I had already tried the Breyers Vanilla Bean Light Yogurt, I decided to try the Cinnamon Bun flavor, eagerly anticipating some future delight.

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 180 grams
Calories: 80
Total Fat: 0%
Saturated Fat: 0%
Sodium: 80, 3%
Carbohydrates: 12 grams
Fiber: 0%
Sugars: 7 grams
Protein: 6 grams

Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the flavor. This was pretty sickeningly sweet, and it didn't taste too much like cinnamon buns at all - not even a close cousin. True, that's a hard flavor to imitate and the lack of texture is a shame, but why put it out as such if you can't get it just right?! The consistency was pretty thin as well, further adding to my dismay.

At least the nutrition facts are decent. Each 6 ounce serving of Breyers Light Yogurt (Cinnamon Bun) provides 80 calories, no fat or fiber, 7 grams of sugars and 6 grams of protein.

Breyers YoCrunch Fruit Parfait Coupons

breyersyocrunchparfait.jpg

I recently reviewed Breyers YoCrunch Blueberry Fruit Parfait. Since it was a big hit with the family (who aren't big yogurt fans), I planned to go get a few more containers, so I was pretty happy to find a coupon online.

$1.00 off when you buy any (1) YoCrunch Fruit Parfait pack by visiting the YoCrunch website.

One thing we do is make our own "apple and carrot dippers" with the yogurt - any chance to get extra fruit & veggies in - and the extra crunch from the granola in the Breyers YoCrunch Fruit Parfait makes this extra tasty - so the kids say.

Breyers Smooth & Dreamy Vanilla Caramel Chip Bars

Breyers Smooth & Dreamy Vanilla Caramel Chip Bars

No more will you see Breyers Slow Churned & Double Churn products as the name has been changed to Breyers Smooth & Dreamy. Well, I had fond memories of Breyers Light Double Churned Vanilla and Almond Ice Cream Bar, so I decided to check out some of the "new" Breyers Ice Cream Bars to see if they would be just as good.

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 1 bar (50 grams)
Calories: 130
Total Fat: 6 grams, 4%
Saturated Fat: 4 grams, 20%
Sodium: 15 mg, 1%
Carbohydrates: 18 grams
Fiber: 0%
Sugars: 13 grams
Protein: 2 grams

Breyers Smooth & Dreamy Vanilla Caramel Chip Bars looked enticing with a description on the front of the box which read, "vanilla light ice cream with a caramel swirl, caramel confectionary chips and milk chocolate coating." Okay - so "caramel confectionary chips" doesn't exactly sound delicious - but I decided to go with it anyway.

Ooh, the taste of this was really smooth & dreamy in addition to rich and creamy. The milk chocolate coating was thin and crispy, the ice cream was slow melt so it could be savored and the little chips of caramel in the ice cream were a delight - and oh yes, you could definitely see them.

The taste was every heavenly thing you could wish for in an ice cream bar; but there was aspect of the nutrition facts that I was not feeling too much at all: the 4 grams of saturated fat (20% of the daily value) - a little more than I would like. Each 50 gram Breyers Smooth & Dreamy Vanilla Caramel Chip Bar also provides 130 calories from 6 grams of total fat (9% of the daily value), 13 grams of sugars and 2 grams of protein.

This sweet treat was quite enough for a delicious evening treat - I was satisfied with just 1. A box with 6 cost $3.79 and was worth it. Despite having a little more saturated fat than I would like, I would still buy these semi-regularly, when I'm in the mood for something cold and sweet. Have you tried any of the Breyers Smooth & Dreamy products? Which is your favorite so far? I liked these bars more than the Breyers Smooth & Dreamy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream Sandwiches, but the kids preferred the latter.

Breyers YoCrunch Blueberry Fruit Parfait

Breyers YoCrunch Blueberry Fruit Parfait

I was drawn to this Breyers YoCrunch Blueberry Fruit Parfait on the supermarket shelf because of the eye catching packaging design. I like how you can see the yogurt and fruity stuff on the bottom.

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 6 ounces
Calories: 170
Total Fat: 1.5 grams, 2%
Saturated Fat: 0%
Sodium: 80 mg, 3%
Carbohydrates: 35 grams
Fiber: 2 grams, 8%
Sugars: 24 grams
Protein: 5 grams

Breyers describes this as, "layers of delightful enjoyment. Real fruit pieces tucked under a blanket of creamy vanilla yogurt, plus yummy granola you mix in for the ideal crunch." This really amped up my anticipation and when I finally dug in, after mixing the blueberry puree with the rest of the yogurt, I was quite pleased with the taste. The yogurt was refreshing, but surprisingly not as sweet as I thought it would be. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but if you're used to sweet yogurts, be warned!

The fruit was a nice puree was touch, but it honestly didn't add anything in terms of flavor to the yogurt, but it did add textural interest when I got a piece of blueberry and granola together with the yogurt. The granola itself tastes very much like oats to me - too much so.

Breyers Vanilla Bean Light Yogurt

Breyers Vanilla Bean Light YogurtBreyers Light is a line of non-fat yogurts which also has 70% less sugar "than the leading lowfat sweetened yogurt." There are quite a few flavors offered in this yogurt line but I decided to try the Vanilla Bean, because although there are many "vanilla" flavored yogurts, I thought it interesting that this was called "vanilla bean." It makes it sound more natural - but a quick look will reveal that this is sweetened with the artificial sweeteners, aspartame & acesulfame K.

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 180 grams
Calories: 80
Total Fat: 0%
Saturated Fat: 0%
Sodium: 80, 3%
Carbohydrates: 11 grams
Fiber: 0%
Sugars: 7 grams
Protein: 6 grams

I opened the yogurt and found a creamy vanilla color with sprinkles of vanilla bean. As I spooned it up, I noticed that it was not as thick as some yogurts and the consistency was more on par with Dannon Light 'n Fit Vanilla Yogurt than something like Stonyfield Farm. The taste was quite a pleasant vanilla - not as artificially sweet as Dannon's vanilla flavor, with a richer, more interesting flavor.

Each 6 ounce cup of Breyers Vanilla Bean Light Yogurt provides 80 calories, no fat or fiber, 7 grams of sugars and 6 grams of protein, along with 20% of the daily value for calcium and vitamin D.

The ingredients list does include vanilla bean seeds, which is nice to see, but as I mentioned before, this is not an "all natural" food product. I got my 6 ounce cups of Breyers Vanilla Bean Light Yogurt on sale for 79 cents each and I enjoyed it, so this is one that I'll buy again.
