Bonnie: We’re sharing these new frozen yogurt bars with you at the end of National Frozen Yogurt Month. The yogurt is nonfat; the chocolate coating rich and decadent.

“Heaven on a stick,” is how Stonyfield describes its new chocolate-covered frozen yogurt bars and I have to say I agree. Stonyfield also says that it offers the only chocolate-dipped frozen yogurt on the market. The chocolate coating, by the way, is rich and thick and Dove-like. They’re also made with certified organic ingredients (produced without toxic persistent pesticides, chemical fertilizers, growth hormones, antibiotics or anything else that’s harmful to you or the environment), have nothing artificial and contain live active cultures. These nonfat frozen yogurts also contain an additional four live probiotics cultures, including L. acidophilus, Bifidus, L. Casei and L. rhamnosus.

One bar contains 170 calories, 1 gram saturated fat (of 8 grams total fat) and is a good source of calcium. It’s a delicious treat that I recommend highly.

Bryan: You might have heard of Stonyfield before, especially if you’re a yogurt lover, but despite Stonyfield’s status as a wonderful yogurt producer, its humble beginnings were actually as a small farming school. Founded in New Hampshire in 1983, the school taught sustainable agricultural practices helping a number of local family farms to survive, while also protecting the environment.

Stonyfield’s current President and CE-Yo Gary Hirshberg was actually an environmental activist at that time. The part-time windmill maker, author and entrepreneur joined up with Samuel Kaymen (an early proponent of organic and bio-dynamic agriculture) on the farm and the whole thing really started churning.

The two founders originally sold yogurt only as a means to fund their farming school, but a great recipe and great ingredients slowly turned the little school into a big yogurt company! By 1988, Stonyfield’s organic yogurt business was helping to support hundreds of family farms without the use of pesticides or other chemicals commonly used in the industry.

The outcome is an amazingly high quality of milk, making Stonyfield’s low fat and even nonfat frozen yogurts so incredibly creamy that you can actually mistake them for ice cream. I’m serious! All of its frozen products are certified organic, made from ingredients produced without the use of antibiotics, hormones or pesticides, and never contain artificial ingredients. This is seriously quality food.

Stonyfield has been making frozen yogurt for years, so they’ve had time to get it right. The company currently offers five nonfat varieties (vanilla, chocolate, vanilla fudge, java and strawberry) and three low-fat varieties (creme caramel, minty chocolate chip and cookies n cream) in 16-ounce containers. For the first time ever, though, Stonyfield is offering its yogurt in bar form, and it has hit the mark!

So new, they’re not even on their web site yet! So good! The nonfat chocolate and vanilla flavors are served in ice cream-truck format, on a stick and covered in chocolate. The yogurt is rich to begin with, but with a (thick) layer of chocolate around the outside, these bars border on decadent. You’ll certain to forget that it’s yogurt and not likely to forget that it’s only 170 calories. Well done, Stonyfield sirs.

Eric: Frozen yogurt is a tough sell for me. It boils down to the simple fact that if I’m going to indulge with with a frozen dessert, it’s going to be with ice cream, and its going to be full of fat and oozing with flavor. For me, frozen yogurt has always been an “empty-calorie” choice — that is a means to an end of filling that sweet-tooth void but not really satisfying the hunger. But when I bit into the Stonyfield frozen yogurt bar, my opinion shifted. Stonyfield has created an incredible balance of what I like to call, “a healthier indulgence,” a combination of rich(er) frozen yogurt enveloped by a dark chocolate shell. It’s trick for your taste buds that I strongly recommend…
