The international yogurt company Yoplait — distributed by General Mills in the U.S. — just debuted its newest twist on the dairy snack. Plenti is “plentiful Greek yogurt” in eight flavors, with the addition of whole-grain oats, flax seeds and pumpkin seeds.
Which sounds great, but there a couple of problems. For one thing, our tasting panel discovered those once-crunchy add-ins had absorbed liquid from the yogurt and had turned gummy. One taster suggested it would be expeditious for consumers to simply add their own toppings to their favorite fruit yogurt.
Another issue: The yogurt itself seemed to lack the thick and creamy mouthfeel that characterizes Greek yogurt, and instead seemed surprisingly thin. With so many yogurt choices, consumers may well taste Plenti and move on.
