ProYo High Protein Frozen Yogurt, Earth Balance & Califia Farms Review
This protein rich frozen yogurt is delicious! It is a brand
new product being sold at Northern
California Whole Foods Market stores, Nugget Market stores in the
greater-Sacramento area and Complete Nutrition in Santa Barbara .
They come in 4
different flavors: Dutch chocolate, banana vanilla, vanilla bean and blueberry
pomegranate. The frozen yogurt comes in an easy to serve tube and has 160
calories, 20 g protein, 3 grams fiber, 14 g sugar and 2 grams fat. They also
have 20% of your daily recommended calcium.
It uses real
ingredients as well: Skim Milk (Cultured with the following
live active cultures: Bifidobacterium lactis, Lactobacillus acidophilus,
Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus lactis, Streptococcus thermophilus),
Whole Milk, Whey Protein Concentrate, Sugar, Whey Protein Isolate, Organic
Inulin, Banana Puree, Natural Flavors including Vanilla Extract, Dextrose,
Ground Vanilla Beans, Disodium Phosphate, Stevia Extract.
I am very
impressed by all of these flavors. Every single one was delicious! My favorite
would have to be the banana vanilla followed by the blueberry pomegranate. The
frozen yogurt is so, so creamy and has a very smooth texture.
It comes fairly
firm but I used the defrost setting on my microwave for about 30 seconds and it
was ready to go (or you could wait about 5-10 minutes). I liked getting a boost
of protein in for a snack. They are sweet and can be used in place of ice
cream.
These would be
perfect for after a workout when you need a boost of protein and are craving
ice cream or something sweet. I highly recommend them and can’t wait till they
come in stores near me!
Earth Balance is a company that sells vegan butter, nut
butters, mayonnaise, soymilk and more. I was sent a couple of free product
coupons to try out their products. I chose the vegan buttery sticks and a tub
of the natural buttery spread in original. They are made with a natural oil
blend of palm fruit, canola oil, soybean, flax and olive oils.
I have used the buttery sticks in the past and they work
really well for baking. I have made cookies and muffins with them. They contain
0 trans fat. The buttery spead also works well on toast or anything else that
calls for butter. Earth Balance is a
healthier option for butter that tastes great.

This company sells almond milk and almond milk coffee. I
cannot get over how much my husband and I love this Califia Farms pure iced
coffee with almond milk. They had two kinds to offer: double espresso and café
latte. Both were good but I preferred the café latte. It is a mix of coffee,
almond milk and is lightly sweetened.
I picked this up at Whole Foods and drank some on the way
home (I had a cup in my car) while stuck in rush hour traffic. I am actually
not usually a fan of almond milk but this company changed my mind. My husband
usually does not like trying the different kinds of milk that I buy but he
actually loved this. It is also approved by my sister and brother’s fiancée. It
is 90 calories per 8 oz cup.
The almond milk is excellent too. It is good for those who
are vegan or who cannot tolerate dairy products. I used it in my coffee, in
eggs and in cereal. It is vanilla flavored but is not very strong so you could
use it in savory dishes as well. It only has 50 calories, 3.5 grams of fat, 1
gram of protein and 1 gram fiber.
I was honestly very impressed by this almond milk and iced
coffee. I would definitely purchase them both in the future.
