I am a huge fan of everything and anything that has to do with the Fall
season. Pumpkin in particular is one of my favorite scents, and flavors.
I managed to buy up anything and everything I could that comes about
this time of year for a short limited amount of time. From pumpkin pies,
to pumpkin pancake mix, I buy it up and most of the time I love it.
However when I came across a 4 pack of Yoplait Light Pumpkin Pie
Yogurt, I wondered just how good it would be. I didn't worry too much
about it, nor did I hesitate; I bought it up, and hoped it offered a
delicious twist on a seasonal favorite. Unfortunately I was highly
disappointed with this one.
The Yogurt:
It is light in color, with a very subtle tint of orange, to give it
that overall look of being pumpkin pie, and the scent is more of
original yogurt than it is of anything with pumpkin or spice. That
should have been the dead giveaway right there at how bad it was going
to be. However, I continued on and tried it.
The flavor however is what kills this one.
There is absolutely nothing pumpkin pie flavored in this yogurt at
all. It has a very disgusting pumpkin puree flavor to it, but there is
nothing else to it besides that flavor, no cinnamon or pumpkin spice.
For me it tasted as if they had taken an actual pumpkin and blended it
up, while serving it to me in a convenient plastic cup. You get to
overcome that nasty flavor, which is then followed up by a bland
original yogurt aftertaste, which I have always hated.
Overall:
I managed to get through just 2 spoonfuls before passing it off to my
boyfriend. He too was not able to get through a second spoonful. It's
just way too bland, yet powerful with a nasty unfinished pumpkin puree
flavor.
This one is only around for the fall season, which in my opinion is a
good thing. Hopefully if Yoplait tries to introduce us to a pumpkin
flavored yogurt next year, that they actually do it right this time.
I agree with your comments concerning the Yoplait Light Pumpkin Pie Yogurt. I tried it today and thought it tasted horrible. If the People at Yoplait beloeve this tastes like Pumpkin Pie I am glad I will NOT be having Thanksgiving dinner at their home.
