Today, Kevin and I are reviewing Oikos Remix non-fat yogurts with mix-ins. We tried three flavors: S'mores, Salted Caramel, and Cocoa Almond Chocolate. These were $1.50 each at Kroger and pack 11 grams of protein per container.
S'mores
Description: Vanilla non-fat yogurt with graham cookies, dark chocolate, and toasted marshmallow bark.
Container: 4.5 oz (128g)
Calories: 120 per container
Review: The S'mores flavor is delightful. The vanilla yogurt pairs well with the graham cookies, and the toasted marshmallow bark adds a unique, slightly coconut-like taste. The mix-ins are generous, providing a satisfying crunch. While the dark chocolate isn't very noticeable, the overall combination is enjoyable. This flavor truly captures the essence of a s'more with its toasted elements.
Salted Caramel
Description: Salted caramel non-fat yogurt with sea salt, praline pretzels, dark chocolate, and butter toffee.
Container: 4.5 oz (128g)
Calories: 120 per container
Review: The Salted Caramel yogurt is not as appealing. The yogurt has a sour taste, which doesn't blend well with the toppings. The mix-ins, including the praline pretzels and butter toffee, are tasty on their own but don't complement the yogurt base. The mix-ins run out quickly, leaving the sour yogurt behind. We found that the mix-ins would be better paired with a vanilla yogurt base.
Cocoa Almond Chocolate
Description: Coconut non-fat yogurt with honey praline almonds and dark chocolate.
Container: 4.5 oz (128g)
Calories: 140 per container
Review: The Cocoa Almond Chocolate flavor is disappointing. The coconut yogurt is less sour than the salted caramel but still has an unappealing tang. The honey praline almonds have an overly scorched flavor, and the dark chocolate pieces are too large, overpowering the other elements. Overall, this flavor fails to deliver a harmonious taste.
Final Thoughts
Top Pick: S'mores is the clear winner, offering a well-balanced flavor with delightful crunch and a true s'mores experience.
Runner-Up: Cocoa Almond Chocolate has potential but falls short due to the scorched almond taste and overpowering chocolate.
Least Favorite: Salted Caramel is the least enjoyable due to its sour yogurt base and quick depletion of mix-ins.
While Oikos Remix yogurts offer interesting mix-ins and a high protein content, we prefer other brands like Dannon Light & Fit, which have a more pleasant yogurt base and fewer calories.
