Of course, you could easily achieve your own preferred flavor and texture combinations with a box of cereal, a tub of yogurt, and the right portable storage containers. Yoplait General Mills Cereal Yogurts offer convenience and a decent flavor variety for consumers looking for a quick, tasty treat.

Even the Trix Rabbit might pass on this one. The little strawberry flavor I detect clashes with the Trix’s artificial fruitiness. This variety is the least successful due to the strawberry yogurt, which lacks flavor and is so thin that it turns to liquid in the last bites.

Did someone at the yogurt factory switch the texture setting from “meh” to “mmm”? Is Lucky’s magic responsible? The mascot elf’s cereal bits and marshmallow pieces provide a sweet crunch to this product, but the overall flavor profile is a little, well, vanilla. Texture-wise, it was the best of the bunch. Lucky CharmsĪlthough the vanilla yogurt in the Cocoa Puffs and Lucky Charms varieties have identical flavors, the serving in my Lucky Charms cup was considerably thicker and creamier.

The yogurt itself is smooth and refreshing, but loose-textured. Both flavors are discernible when eaten together. Cocoa PuffsĪnother solid pairing, this variety is like an elevated bowl of Cocoa Puffs because the cereal’s cocoa flavor does not overshadow the mild vanilla yogurt.

The Cinnamon Toast Crunch neither dilutes nor overwhelms the yogurt’s cinnamon flavor, all while maintaining its perfectly crunchy texture. The texture is smooth but a little watery - a trend that will follow with the other varieties. At first glance, it looks like plain vanilla, but it has a hint of mellow spice and tastes like Cinnamilk. I couldn’t find the flavor referenced on Yoplait’s website, so I believe it is unique to this line. This variety gets extra points for the cinnamon vanilla yogurt. I tried all four varieties: Cinnamon Toast Crunch (For reference, a standard single serving container of Yoplait yogurt is 6 ounces.) As a light snack or meal accompaniment, they are the perfect size. The lids contain about 1/4 cup of cereal, with the total product size weighing 4.27 ounces. Varieties include Cinnamon Toast Crunch with cinnamon vanilla yogurt, Cocoa Puffs with vanilla yogurt, Lucky Charms with vanilla yogurt, and Trix with strawberry yogurt.Įach container comes with a lid that separates the cereal from its yogurt companion. Yoplait General Mills Cereal Yogurts fall into this category, pairing low-fat flavored yogurts with crunchy cereal toppings. Okay, my snacking habits are not that dull, but I am still grateful for products that do the thinking for me. A loaf of bread does not inspire sandwiches or (gasp!) recipes I’m likely to eat it slice after dry slice. I’m not the sort of innovator who finds new uses for familiar products.
