Stay Beautiful With: A 100-Calorie Daily Delight! Yoplait Delights Parfait in Creme Caramel


Whenever I'm out at the grocery store stocking up on weekly household needs, I always stop in the last aisle in the dairy section to pick up milk and cheese. Once in a while I will browse the yogurt selection to see if anything new or interesting is on the shelf.

Normally I walk off empty handed, or with a small container of Greek yogurt.

Last night though while doing my usual rounds, I came across a new delight. They are called Yoplait Delights. They are sold in packs of four, and come in four different flavors. The best thing about these sweet numbers are that they only contain 100 calories.

I personally would have liked to mix and match all four flavors to try them all, but decided to go with Creme Caramel.

The Yoplait Delights Parfait, Creme Caramel, come in small containers. To get an idea of how small they are, just imagine a Jello cup on a diet. Yes, they are small, but still looked like a delicious quick treat for when I wanted to kill a sweet tooth, without going overboard.

You can see through the cup. Inside you will notice that a top layer of a creamy caramel colored yogurt sits at the top of a darker more chocolaty caramel colored yogurt. It looked like a parfait, minus all of the fresh fruit bits.

Taste:

At first I wondered if they would be any good. A week prior I picked up a parfait cup that was simply disgusting. So much so that after one taste test I threw the whole thing out. Being a fan of Yoplait though, I figured it would be good.

My hypothesis was right. Yoplait Delights Parfait, Creme Caramel tasted delightful, and I knew immediately why they gave it the name they did.

The very top layer tastes like a creamy caramel chew, without the messy chew of course. It's light, and features the perfect dab of caramel flavoring, mixed with what tastes like vanilla bean cream.

The darker colored bottom layer of the parfait is a richer caramel flavor that has a noticeable tint of what tastes like coffee cream. Combined the two flavors are delicious.

While eating Yoplait Delights Parfait, Creme Caramel I was amazed that something so delicious could contain only 100 calories. Then I remembered, the portion size is quite small. The flavor though is so rich and tongue twisting that you find you eat it slowly, so the small portion size is really not an issue at all.

Overall:

I love Yoplait Delights Parfait, Creme Caramel, and am excited to give the other 3 flavors a try. If you like caramel, and coffee flavored food products than I think you will enjoy Yoplait Delights Parfait, Creme Caramel.

You can find them for $3.99 for a pack of 4 at your local grocery store in the yogurt section. I suggest you try them out!

Review: Little Debbie 100 Calorie Snow Puffs - They Are Delish!!!


I was going to put this review in another blog, but seeing that this is a Beauty Blog, I figured that Little Debbies 100 Calorie Snow Puffs deserved a slot here, seeing that it is in fact a much better alternative than say... the original Snow Puff snacks.

When I came across the Little Debbie 100 Calorie Snow Puffs I was pretty excited because most other 100 calorie snacks come with a hefty price attached to them. The Little Debbie 100 Calorie snacks though ask for a price that comes to less than $2.00

When I got around to actually opening the box up at home, I was pretty surprised at how tiny the Snow Puffs were. On the box they looked fairly decent in size, but once I opened it, inside sat a Snow Puff that looked as if it had been hit with the shrinking stick.



At any rate, I went ahead and tried it. The Snow Puff tasted delicious. It had the original squishy marshmallow top, with coconut shavings for flavoring. The puff itself sat on top of a chocolate wedge that tasted a little bit like cake brownies to me.

All in all it was a damn good treat, and I didn't have to feel guilty about snacking on them.

Although they are small, they pack the same delicious original taste that fans already know and love.

I highly, highly recommend them against other 100 calorie snacks because they are cheap, and affordable, unlike other packs from other brands that have $5.00 price tags slapped on to them.
