I'm always happy to find a new flavor of Oikos to try, and this acai version is a nice change from the usual fruit yogurts. The acai has a slightly tart, berry-like flavor, while the strawberry adds sweetness and the banana gives it a soft and creamy taste. I liked that there are a few different fruit flavors going on rather than just one. The texture is thick and creamy, as you'd expect from Oikos, and it's quite satisfying for such a small pot. It also packs in 10.2g of protein, with just 84 calories, making it a handy option for breakfast or an afternoon snack that will actually keep you satiated reasonably well!

While I enjoyed the combination of flavors, I wouldn't necessarily say the acai itself stands out as much as I'd hoped. The strawberry and banana are quite prominent, so anyone expecting a really distinctive acai flavor might be a little disappointed. At 113g, the pot is on the small side, too, particularly if you're eating it as a standalone breakfast rather than a snack. My biggest complaint, though, is that it's a limited-time flavor. I'd quite happily add this to my regular yogurt rotation if it stuck around!
