Trader Joe's Honey Crisp Apple Cinnamon Greek Yogurt

I assumed that both Sonia and I would enjoy this product—that we'd like it but not love it, that I'd be a little more critical of it than she would be, and that she'd do most of the raving and I'd do most of the ranting. Well, I was right about the first part.

We both give this product a thumbs up in the end, but I'm the one doing it a bit more enthusiastically. Yes, yes, it has a lot of added sugar. It has exactly double the added sugar of the product we looked at last week: Icelandic Style Skyr Yogurt. The thing is: this product tastes like dessert to me while the skyr tastes like something I'd eat just because it's healthy. This offering still has the beneficial live yogurt cultures AND I would actually eat this product voluntarily on a regular basis. I might even eat it in place of something more indulgent, like ice cream.

To me, it's that good. It has enough sweetness—both from 10 grams of added sugar as well as the natural sweetness of Honeycrisp apples—to counterbalance the intrinsic tartness of Greek yogurt. It's "sweet and sour" in a way I never thought would work but somehow does. There's a fair amount of cinnamon and generous quantities of apple bits throughout it in my opinion, though the beautiful wifey thought it could use more of both.

The texture is thick like any other Greek yogurt. You can see and feel the Honeycrisp apple in the product, and to a lesser degree, you can feel the faint grit of the cinnamon. It's a very nice mouthfeel overall.

At 99¢ for the 5.3 oz cup, it's definitely among the least expensive yogurt products I've come across in a while. I'd definitely buy it again and Sonia would possibly consider a repurchase. Eight and half stars from me for Trader Joe's Honey Crisp Apple Cinnamon Greek Yogurt. The beautiful wifey gives it seven and a half stars.

Bottom line: 8 out of 10.
