Another yogurt post

O.k...so the same time I first tried Yo Mommy yogurt, I also bought four Rachel's Dairy yogurts: two pomegranate acai and two pomegranate blueberry. Perhaps the reason I am so fond of the Yo Mommy yogurt is that I'm not at all fond of the Rachel's Dairy kind and it is easy to compare the two since I bought them at the same time.

My first complaint is the lack of fruit chunks. This yogurt is blended and I like to chew my yogurt. But I could get over that if the taste wasn't so tart. I guess it's the pomegranate that makes it very tart, to the point that a little wincing occurs with every first bite. Looking at the other flavors in the Exotic Yogurt line, I might be willing to try them if I should see them on sale again. But I'm not running out to hunt this one down like I was with Yo Mommy.

If you're adventurous and looking for a more "grown-up" yogurt taste, you might like Rachel's. But I'm not a fan. That last little pomegranate acai is staring at me in the fridge and it's going to have to keep on staring.

Yo Mommy!

I really like yogurt. I'm not going to say "love" because yogurt and I go in phases. I guess I get bored with it, then I "rediscover" it, then bored, etc. Well, it's back.

My new favorite yogurt is Yo Mommy from Stonyfield Farm Organic. I picked up this little gem because it was on sale. They also have Yo Baby and Yo Kids as well as non-themed yogurts.

The Yo Mommy meets all of my yogurt needs:

• Visible chunks of fruit. I hate those "blended" yogurts. I want my fruit chunks!
• Nice snack sized container.
  
• Appealing taste.
  
• Nice consistency.

The pack I bought has strawberry and peach. I must say I'm a sucker for all things peach (except for peach tea but that's for another post). The strawberry has better consistency and flavor. The peach isn't bad, just a little runny.

All in all, I say give Yo Mommy a try! You don't have to be a mommy or soon-to-be mommy to benefit from the folic acid and DHA* added in. If you don't like that, I bet the others are pretty good too. And good for you! *wink*

*Don't be creeped out by the DHA. It's listed in the ingredients as Fish Oil with the fish oils listed. Anchovies in yogurt?? There's a first for everything! There's no fish taste so don't worry.
