Review Elli Quark Is Better Than Yogurt!

I'm the kind of person who likes to have yogurt with granola or fresh strawberries mixed in.  It's fast and easy and I don't really have to prepare anything.  For the longest time I used to buy Yoplait but quickly switched to Target's brand Simply Balanced because of the sugar content.  Yoplait has 18 grams of sugar per serving while Simply Balanced has 14 grams.  I'm always looking for a way to cut back on my sugar intake.  I have a serious sweet tooth.  If I could have ice cream everyday, I would.

I also want to point out that I do not like tart yogurt.  So if you're like my husband who likes tart yogurt, this post isn't for you.  I like my yogurt tasting sweet like dessert.  Ha ha.

So a couple of weeks ago I went to Target to pick up more yogurt and saw they had something new called Elli Quark.  I took a look and was super impressed!  Only 6 grams of sugar!  I bought one to try.



Here's what you need to know, this is made of fresh cheese that tastes like yogurt.  It's less sour, which I love.  No added artificial sweeteners.  No added sugar.  It has 14 grams of protein.  Only 80 calories!  And it tastes GOOOOOOD.  I didn't even add the granola to it, that's how good it is.  I did add some extra strawberries though.  So from now on, I'm going with Elli Quark.  

Here is Target's Simply Balanced nutritional facts, just so you can compare the two-




It's aaaahhh-maaaaazing.  If you want to read up more on Elli Quark- check out their website.

Added a little bit of granola and strawberries for this one.  It's really yummy.  I promise!

Oh and from Nike's clearance sale last week?  My new footwear is here!  LOVE THEM.  They're super comfy.





That's all for today.  Have a great weekend!

  1. Quark is very popular in Germany and Switzerland (I live near Basel) you can also make a type of cheesecake with it which is lush. It's kind of like a fresh cheese so works well also as a sour cream substitute 😊

We tried HelloFresh for the past two months - Here's our review

Hi everyone! This post is written by my husband. Some of you may know he does all the cooking around here. 😅 We noticed we were spending a lot of money on food and eating out every month and wanted to see if a meal kit service would save us money and time. After looking at a few meal kit services we settled on HelloFresh. Without further ado, here's Jared's review. (Original post date Aug 2022). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As you may have seen from Leslie's Instagram stories for the past 2 months, we've been using HelloFresh for most of our meals. The main drivers for this were to better track what we eat and because on the advice of my doctor, I should be eating more home cooked meals. Before I go any further, it should be noted that my original career path was in culinary arts, but twists and turns in life changed that. So I do have formal cooking experience. A little background story. Over the years, I've developed
