Joe-Joe’s Vanilla Sammich Creme Cookies: Holla!! Best dang vanilla creme sammich cookie I ever chewed on. Every product at Trader Joe’s, including this here sammich cookie of wonderment, has no artificial crap, no GMO’s, no MSG, and no trans fats. It even has real vanilla bean specks in its creme center. You can taste the fine quality of the ingredients, which make this cookie high class compared to other vanilla cremes. But watch out for the high calorie count. Two cookies rakes in 130 calories of fattening that might stick your booty, thighs or stomachs. If you know some gremlin children who deserve a healthier cookie treat, then give them the Joe Joe’s. You can even have one cookie. But don’t you dare shove these into your food trap in mass quantities. You’ll be doing yourself a disservice of tasty destruction. Moderation only, please.

Yasso Frozen Greek Yogurt: Excuse me, but Yasso is a no-no. Great concept. Bad delivery. This frozen Greek pop is nicely oversized and low in calories, but the taste is so dang invisible and bland, even the Greedy Kids were searching for the flavor. Ever slurped on a watered down cup of Kool Aid? Ever drank a can of Pepsi with zero fizz? Ever poured a bowl of cereal, only to discover someone drank up all the damn milk? Yasso is among those kinds of food disasters. Something’s just…missing.

Trader Joe’s Shortcake Biscuits: Can you haz a biscuit? You bet your ass you can! …and you must. Just like the front of the bag says, shortcake biscuits are “wonderful with fresh fruit and whipped cream”. I did that ya’ll — fresh strawberries & a touch of TJ’s whipped cream on top. The biscuit might seem hard when you first grab it, but cut it open and you get a dense, moist biscuit with a perfect touch of sweetness that knows how to get the dessert-job done right. Now please sharpen the claws of your teeth and go gnaw on one of these for yourself.

at $46.13 for a case of 6 (1 pint each) - a little more than $7 each, which is quite pricey. BUT, if this is your "ice cream replacer" then it might be worth the price to you.
I don't drink as much diet sodas as I used to, but I still have my preferences. Diet Pepsi over Diet Coke (but regular Coca Cola over Pepsi). There is usually a lot of coming and going within the flavored diet soda world - companies seem to be really quick to scrap what they think the public doesn't like! So, I'm not sure if the Vanilla Coke Zero that I spotted the other day is still being produced or not, but since I like it's Cherry flavored cousin, I quickly snapped up a can to try.
My favorite Dannon Light & Fit Yogurt flavors so far are 
Breyers 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.
