Yasso's new Dipped Greek Yogurt Bars are coated in a crunchy, texture-rich combination of chocolate and crisped quinoa, offering a healthier take on frozen dessert bars. The bars are offered in flavors like Vanilla Chocolate Crunch, Peanut Butter Chocolate and Sea Salt Caramel, as well as Mint Chocolate Crunch, which gets its hint of green color from vegetable juice and spirulina.
The gluten-free frozen dessert bars are free from high-intensity sweeteners and come in between 140 to 160 calories. As the bars are made with Greek yogurt, they also share a moderate amount of protein and offer a satisfying alternative to ice cream treats that are in the same category.
