Sweet Tooth Tuesday: Yoplait Light Apple Turnover


As I said last week, I've recently tried a bunch of the 110 calories or less dessert flavors Yoplait offers (Click here for a $1 off coupon for the yogurt.)and they are all pretty good. I think my second favorite is the apple turnover. My husband tried it as well and it is his top favorite out of the line up. While it certainly has a very different texture than an actual apple turnover (and a completely different nutritional makeup, like the others this flavor has 20% of your daily requirement of calcium and vitamin D in the 6 oz tub) it tastes freakishly like an apple turnover. There are small chunks of apple throughout but they are not soggy or gross like some fruit-in yogurt varieties, they are hardly noticeable but for the bits of apple flavor they add. There is also a very definite but subtle taste of crust in the yogurt. I don't know how they do it, but it works. I think this flavor is one of the better ones to have as a snack, the apple flavor is distinctive (I don't know if I have ever had apple yogurt before) and oddly filling. A nice change from the more common strawberry or blueberry.

Ooh, that's my favorite flavor! Prefect for sprinkling with a little granola.

My favorite is the strawberry shortcake. You actually get the cake flavor without nasty bits of soggy cake in.

This too, is my favorite of the bunch. When Giant has them on sale I buy up a whole case.

I tried the apple turnover after reading this post and I love! Apple tart is my favorite dessert and this will totally satisfy that craving!
