Under any circumstance, do not try the Yoplait Whips! Chocolate Mousse Style Yogurt. I saw this stuff last night at Busch’s and figured I’d give it a try because Yoplait makes my favorite yogurt flavors. I figured this stuff would live up to the Yoplait name but it didn’t.
The yogurt certainly has the consistency and color of chocolate mousse but there is a very good reason why yogurt is not mousse. The Yoplait Whips! Chocolate Mousse Style Yogurt tastes like yogurt that has been fluffed and yogurt should not be fluffed. I like yogurt and I like chocolate but I don’t think they were meant to be together. With every swallow, you taste both the sweetness of the chocolate and the sourness of the yogurt, which merely makes for a very repulsive yogurt experience. I’m also not sure that the chocolate flavor really tastes like chocolate anyway. I think they were trying to mask the yogurt flavor with the chocolate flavor but you can’t mask the flavor of yogurt.

I had the cherry chocolate one and I couldn’t decide if it was good or bad. Since I don’t like yogurt much, I think it was an improvement on yogurt, but if you’re coming at it from the mousse angle, it was not as good.

That is the most incisive and thorough analysis of yogurt I’ve ever read. To bad they don’t ever use it as the theme ingredient on iron chef–I would totally nominate you for the judging panel.
And, I updated my blog (sort of) finally . . .

I just re-read that post and I can’t believe how much it sounds like Iron Chef . . . I didn’t mean for it to be that way!

It really does sound like the iron chef! I was going to say though, I like chocolate flavored yogurt. (I’ve used to eat it in England) I also like plain yogurt with coco puffs - I used to eat that for brekkie in Mexico, yum! (not only do you have the sweet/piquant thing going on there, especially because it’s unflavored yogurt, but you also get this great crunchy/slimy texture contrast too - I love it!) (Strawberry yogurt with coco krispies is also good too.)

I completely agree with the review. I bought a container of the chocolate mousse today based off a commercial and figuring anything that was chocolate mousse couldn’t be bad. I was wrong. The description of it tasting sweet like chocolate but sour like yogurt is right on. And it’s not good. Don’t waste your money. Maybe try the fruit flavored ones?

I am not a yogurt eater. When I saw the Yoplait Mousse commercial, I decided that I had to try it. It is the best yogurt I have ever had. I usually can not stand the sour taste of yogurt. But this combination of chocolate with the yogurt is my favorite. I have changed my eating habits and now incorporate yogurt into my routine. Thanks yoplait for opening this door.

I also tried the Yoplait Whips! and was somewhat disappointed. It was not the proper texture for something called yogurt. And as for the chocolate part……….well, I am a choclaholic and this did not satisfy the palate. If you are dieting and haven’t had anything good in a while it may be satisfying. But for me it was not.

I actually love the Yoplait Whips! Chocolate Mousse style yogurt. The flavor and texture is just right for me. Not too yogurty (read: sour) and not overly sweet. I’ve had a different chocolate yogurt before (I think it was Breyers) and not whipped, and it was nasty. There was too much yogurt flavor, so it tasted like sour chocolate which is just plain disgusting. Yoplait’s version is so much better. I enjoyed every spoonful. Plus, I’m not huge into the sour yogurt flavor, so I don’t really like the Key Lime yogurt, which my mom loves.

I just tried the Dulce de Leche Yoplait Whips and I really like it too. It’s supposed to be creamy caramel, but to me it also has a coffee flavor- caramel coffee. Mmmm. The sour flavor is there but not a huge factor- the intense flavor covers it up, like the chocolate flavor. I have tried a different brand of coffee yogurt, and I stand by my opinion that Yoplait has the best non fruit (and maybe even fruit) flavors.

I had the chocolate mouse and I LOVED it. I think it tastes great. I loved the consistency of the whipped mouse as well as the flavor.

I have to say, I’m not a fan of yogurt. But, after trying the whips and most Yoplait flavors, I’m now a fan!. Chocolate, Chocolate Mouse, Dulche de Leche all Yumm! And as for the FF Yogurt, Boston Creme, Yummy!

I love the yoplait whips. My favorite are choclate mint & the creamy carmel. I use to eat candy bars for a snack, now I eat these yoplait whips. I would rather give these to my grandchildren than a candy bar.

I love the yoplait whips. My favorite are the choclate mint & the creamy carmel. I would rather see myself & grandchildren eat these whips for a snack. I love them & buy around 5 a week, one a day for me, if my grandchildren are coming over I buy more. If I get on a real choclate kick I will eat 2 a day, still better that a snicker’s bar!!!
Thank you,
Shannon

I love the chocolate yogert, especially the chocolate cherry. I find all other flavors overpoweringly sweet and cannot finish them but the chocolates are very light.

very strange texture; taste was OK at best. i think the gelatin in it is what makes it rather gross.

Yoplait Whips Chocolate Mousse are GREAT! They have totally changed the way I snack!! I would absolutely encourage anyone to try them before passing judgment.

I was hospitalized after eating Yoplait Whips Chocolate Mousse. My lawyer forbid me from discussing the details of my lawsuit, but rest assured I am in line for a huge cash settlement.

I thought the choc Whips were OK, but the FRUIT ones are DELECTABLE — the fruity taste works with the tart yougurt “zing” very nicely — my fave is the lemon, and lime a close second

I loved the chocolate and caramel whips but we are unable to get it here in our store anymore. Do you know why?

I DISAGREE. I PERSONALLY DON’T LIKE YOGURT BUT WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO EAT IT WITH THE MEDICINE I HAD TO TAKE. YOGURT HAS AN AWFUL TEXTURE FOR ME BUT THE WHIPPS IS THE FIRST ONE I ENJOYED AND ACTUALLY WILL CONTINUE TO EVEN AFTER I HAVE TO

I absolutely love the yoplait whips. I am not a yogurt fan, but whips are very delightful. Never could stand the consistency or taste of regular yogurt. I’ve been told the greeek yogurt is really good, but I have a hard time finding it.
Yoplait whips are GREAT!!!!

I, too, just became a fan of the Yoplait Whips. I have only tried the fruit flavored yogurts and liked each one so far. Looking forward to trying the lemon.

I tried the Chocolate Mousse Yoplait Whips! too and I agree with you. Chocolate + Yogurt = Not a good combination. Yopliat + Other Fruits and berries = Great!

I do not disagree with you completely, as I am eating some of that chocolate mousse stuff right now :) I froze it in the freezer for 3 hours and it’s much, much better. It doesn’t have that weird frothiness to it.

Brought 4 containers of your NEW Chocolate Mousse Whips.
All 4 containers had 1/2 of the carton empty. Paid over a dollar
for each container. Seems like a rip-off.

I am not a yogurt eater. was asked by my doctor to start. I enjoy all the flavor they have. I love the NEW Chocolate Mousse Whip. Only one problem was not enough in one serving.
