Wallaby says: Inside this cup is a creamy blended lowfat yogurt created from the finest organic ingredients. Smooth and subtly sweet, Wallaby Yogurt is as delicious and distinct as the Australian yogurts that inspired it. Wallaby’s signature style comes from a small batch cooking process that includes long culturing and gentle handling. The result? Yogurt with naturally creamy texture and delicate flavors.

Abi says: I’ve always been a bit leery of Wallaby yogurt. For one, it is more expensive than store brand yogurt. For two, it says ‘Australian style’ on the front. While I am an adventurer when it comes to frozen food, I am not so crazy about sudden changes in dairy. Plus, when there are no context clues, one cannot tell the difference between a drawing of a wallaby and a drawing of a kangaroo. So, even though this says Wallaby in HUGE letters, I still think ‘Hey, Kangaroo yogurt!’.

Smells like: Not spoiled. Yogurt doesn’t have a whole lot of smell.

Looks like: Slightly pinkish vomit. Sorry, but it does. This is some of the ugliest yogurt I’ve ever seen. It isn’t the crazy-ass pink of Yoplait yogurt, just mildly pink. And creamy. Super-uber-creamy. Almost smoothie-level creamy. And by creamy, I mean liquid. With little bits of yogurt in it. Which I think explains the vomit reference.

Feels like: Have I mentioned this yogurt is liquidy? Have I also mentioned that it is more of a fruit-throughout than a fruit-on-bottom yogurt? Well, it is. I dislike fruit on bottom yogurts and was happy to see that this fruit was thoroughly integrated and there were only two of those meager, creepy, mushy strawberries

Tastes like: Exactly how you’d expect strawberry yogurt to taste. Not particularly amazing, but not bad either. Just organic, California-made yogurt.
