Happy Tuesday!
Haha, we’re back to the awkward post introductions. Why does this bother me so much?? Oh well, I guess it’s just one of my imperfections.
Today I have a couple product reviews that I wanted to share with you. First off, Quaker® is bringing Muller, a European yogurt brand, to the US and stores here in Chicago.
From Quaker:
Müller yogurt has generations of loyal fans spanning many countries who love it for its delicious, creamy taste and unique flavor varieties. The first three products to be introduced in the U.S. are Müller® Corner Greek®, Müller® Corner®, and Müller® FrütUp™.
- Müller Corner and Müller Greek Corner offer a smooth, creamy lowfat yogurt with a side compartment of delightful toppings you add yourself. Greek Corner varieties include Caramelized Almonds, Honeyed Apricot, Strawberry, Blackberry & Raspberry. Corner varieties include Blueberry, Strawberry, Crispy Crunch, Choco Balls, Choco Flakes and Crunchy Granola.
- Müller FrütUp offers a cool, creamy, lowfat yogurt that is topped with a vibrant layer of fruit mousse. Varieties include Blueberry Bliss, Very Cherry, Luscious Lemon, Peach Passion Fruit, Radiant Raspberry and Splendid Strawberry.
I was sent the Muller Corner in the Blueberry, Choco Balls, Caramelized Almonds, and Blackberry & Raspberry flavors, as well as the Muller FrutUp in Luscious Lemon and Splendid Strawberry.
The very first thing I noticed (as do most people with food intolerances) was that the container did say that the product contains Wheat. After going over and over the ingredients, I’m assuming this must come from the Whey Protein Concentrate. Either way, it didn’t seem enough to deter me from sampling…
I dug right into the blueberry flavor first. I like that you add the flavoring yourself, so you can mix it right up or add it in little by little.
Obviously I hated it…
Haha it was pretty good! I am dying to try the caramelized almonds flavor next, I’m a huge almond fan! I also tested the Luscious Lemon FruitUp, but didn’t manage to take a picture. It was definitely delicious and great as an evening post-dinner dessert. It wasn’t filling enough to be a real snack, but it tasted very decadent for being only 150 calories.
Since I knew the Choco Balls definitely had wheat in them I left those and the Strawberry FrutUp with my brother and sister-in-law as a thank you for basically being my PO Box.
If you’re interested in checking out Muller Yogurt products, you can check out their website or their Facebook page.
Now I’m curious to try out more flavors! And for those of you wondering, the products didn’t seem to bother my stomach, but I’d be cautious to anyone with a wheat intolerance, and definitely don’t purchase if you have Celiac! I’d also like to mention that the ingredient list a little long for something I’d eat daily, but wouldn’t deter me from making those frutUps an occasional treat!
Quaker sent me these products to review, but I was not compensated in any other way and all opinions are completely my own.
And now to the next product: Reginald’s Homemade Nut Butters!
I actually received these after winning a giveaway from Elise, but since I mentioned them on my blog I thought I should share my opinion with all of you!
I won The Cashew Lovers Collection, which included two jars each of two flavors: Cinnamon Molasses and Cashew Nilla. I thought they were so cute, I also ended up leaving one jar of each with my sister-in-law! Haha got to share the nut butter love!
I’ve never actually bought cashew butter before, I’d only made my peanut cashew butter, so I was interested to see how it would taste!
The flavors are subtle (which I expected from a cashew butter), but I loved them. The Cashew Nilla basically tastes like cake batter, while the Cinnamon Molasses really does have a nice cinnamon taste to it and the molasses makes it almost ginger cookie-esque if I had to compare it to something.
I also think the little jars are completely adorable and I’ll definitely be re-using them to bottle up my own homemade nut butters for friends.
Have you tried Muller Yogurt? What flavor would you want to try?
Are you a cashew butter fan? What flavor would you want to see?
my coworker always has those muller yogurts and i am often super jealous of her corners, i think maybe i’ll need to try some. the almond one would definitely be at the top of my list. i have cashew butter and it’s been in my fridge forever…i wanted to like it but i like peanut and almond butter so much more that i just never choose that. flavored cinnamon molasses though? that might change my mind 🙂
Definitely give them a try, I had the almond one this morning and liked it!
I’d try the choco balls flavour – but, I always go for the chocolate :-p I like how the flavouring is separate so you can control how much goes in.
I’ve never tried cashew butter, depite the fact that cashews are my favourite nut! I’ll have to pick some up some time.
Definitely give cashew butter a try! It’s got a much more mild flavor than other nut butters but its worth trying!
chocolate, almond, and yogurt?? I need to jump on this bandwagon yesterday 😉 I’m actually not a huge cashew butter fan which boggles my mind since I love all other nut/seed butters…I only had a plain version though so perhaps I’d enjoy a flavored one more?
It’s not my favorite kind in general just because I don’t feel like it has as much flavor as others, but I like these flavored kinds!
I had Muller’s yogurt all the time when I was living in Europe, during my study abroad! I loved them then, but I also had not found my beloved Chobani at the time, so I wonder how they would compare now! I’m curious to try flavored cashew butter. I’ve only ever had regular, and while it was good, it didn’t knock my socks off like my favorite nut butters do. That ‘nilla butter one does sound intriguing though….
You should see if you can find Muller here, might be interesting to compare!
omg i love cashew butter! i need to get my hands on that whole collection!!
Haha you do!!
I’m glad muller is coming to Chicago, I’ve been wanting to try that yogurt. The nut butters look cute indeed.
I hope you get to try it, I’ve seen it in the market near my house but I haven’t looked in bigger stores
I’m not a fan of yogurt that comes with like the jelly crap on the side. It’s too sweet for me. But then again my favorite Chobani flavor is vanilla so I don’t branch out much…
lol clearly…
I keep seeing commercials for the Muller yogurt and have to say I’m rather intriqued to try it. Carmalized almonds sounds heavenly! I may have to pick some up during my next grocery trip.
I hope you like it!
I have never tried cashew butter but those flavors are so intriguing!
I’m all about flavored nut butters!
Mmmm yogurt and nut butter – two of my favorite foods! 🙂
Can’t go wrong with them!
Those cashew butters sound fabulous! Anything that tastes like cake batter immediately has my attention…
haha seriously, cake batter is the best flavor ever
I’ve been wanting to try cashew butter after falling in love with almond butter, but have yet to find any in a store around me. I haven’t tried Whole Foods yet… that is my next shot!
It’s definitely very different from almond butter, but worth trying!
Ah, I want to try Reginald’s. Thanks for the review!
You should!
Those flavors sound awesome!
they definitely were!
Those mueller yogurts look/sound amazing for a nice sweet treat!!!
Definitely perfect for a treat! Have a great evening, Annette!
I have not tried Muller. I have also been meaning to try other nut butters. I’d better put these 2 companies on my next shopping list.
I hope you like them!
Those cashew butters sound pretty tasty! I do like cashew butter in general, but usually tend to opt for any sort of flavored PB or almond butter first…. BUT, a flavored cashew butter like those may change my mind. 😉
Haha anything tasting like cake batter changes my mind!
I used to love Muller yogurts when I lived in England. The fruit ones are yummy!
I’m going to confess something that may shock you. I have never had a nut butter other than peanut. I know! People rave about them all the time, but they’re just not available where I live. I’m going to have to track down online stores that deliver to Japan!
I’m so jealous that you lived in England! Haha and most people haven’t had anything other than peanut butter, so don’t feel bad! Have you had Nutella? That’s hazelnut butter!
I haven’t tried Muller but I love their commercials! Glad you liked them!
I’ve never seen the commercials!
I saw the muller yogurt at the grocery the other day but was hesitant to buy because of the long ingredient list and higher sugar count. Maybe I’ll try it as a treat!
I’ve been wanting to try cashew butter but can’t find a jar for less the $10. Wish there was a way to try before splurging! That nilla flavor sounds delicious!!
It’s good as a treat, but not something I’d eat every day. And I first tried cashew butter from the whole foods bulk area, where you can grind your own, that way I just tried a bit. However I’ve only been to one WF that has a cashew option!
That’s really good to know! I’ll be on the lookout…maybe I can find single serve packets online too?
I’m not sure, I haven’t looked but it’s worth a try!
yes love cashew butter! just love cashews 😉
those cashew butter flavors sound interesting!!
Haha I LOVE cashews, even more than I love cashew butter!
Now I really want yogurt and nut butter! Thanks for making me hungry!
Haha I do what I can!
Katie, what is your favorite brand peanut butter to buy? Thanks!!
I never buy one particular brand since normally I eat almond butter and only buy PB when I can’t find AB that’s inexpensive. I’ve tried the whole foods brand, which is good, as is Justin’s peanut butter (which is usually in my Walmart Neighborhood Market!).
thanks, Katie. I thought you followed fodmaps pretty much and that doesn’t allow cashew or almond butter. I much prefer almond butter, but it’s not fodmap approved. I’ve never seen Justin PB available anywhere near me.
