PRODUCT: Yopa! Greek-Style Yogurt
|
Greek-style yogurt (triple-strained) is one of the hottest categories in the supermarket at the moment. Every major player either has a line of all-natural Greek yogurt, is about to launch one, or is way behind in doing so.
We love the name of the latest contender, Yopa! Greek yogurt, from the makers of YoCrunch. The name is a combination of YO for yogurt and OPA, the Greek word for joy which is also used as a toas (like “Cheers!”). What Yopa! brings to the table is crunchy Greek yogurt: a mix-in of granola that turns adds a delightful crunch to the smooth and creamy yogurt. Yopa! is all granola, all the time; but the company makes regular YoCrunch Yogurt which features candy and cookie mix-ins (Butterfinger, Chips Ahoy, M&Ms, Oreos and the like—it’s one of our guilty pleasures). The launch flavors of Yopa! include: |

Olympic gold medal gymnast Gabby Douglas is spokesperson for the brand. She will no doubt attract many teen and tween girls, who will enjoy the fun, crunchy mix-ins and the ability to eat what Gabby eats.
But Yopa! is appealing to adults, too. Who wouldn’t want a high protein, low fat snack or meal replacement, in a different flavor [almost] every day of the week? Opa! Yopa!

*“Grain” should correctly be expressed as Nine Whole Grains, but YoCrunch neglected to hire the grammar police.
