drinking yogurt in japan


I tried the Strawberry flavor, which was very good. It’s convenience was put to the test, as I grabbed it running out the door late for work one morning. It was very easy to drink as I sped off to work, so two thumbs up! It held me over nicely until morning-snack time, but I think if I had paired it with some fresh fruit or a granola bar, I would have been all set right until lunch. They have a nice texture & the Strawberry flavor was definitely strong and fresh tasting.

I bought the raspberry/strawberry vanilla pack and I loved them! They were the perfect size for a little snack, or paired with some toast n’ pb for breakfast. I even used a couple of them in smoothies, which turned out perfectly creamy and delicious!
Bolthouse Chocolate: Really creamy, chocolate flavor was really nice and strong, but not artificial tasting. B really like the fact that it is so high in protein and also that it has soy protein (he’s on a soy kick) & enjoyed using it as a to-go breakfast. A serving (8 oz.) kept him full for 2-3 hours, which isn’t bad!
