A creamy Vanilla Yogurt with fresh and tart Blueberries, topped with crispy Granola.
|Ingredient|%
|:---|:---
|Acetyl Pyrazine 5%|0.5
|Bilberry (FA)|0.5
|Blueberry Extra (TPA)|5
|Cheesecake (Graham Crust) (TPA)|4
|Cream Fresh (FA)|0.5
|Greek Yogurt (TPA)|6
|Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (CAP)|1.5
|Sweetner (TPA)|1
Notes:
Steeping: Shake & Vape - 3 days. Recommended: 75% VG or higher.
Tart Blueberries: Bilberry (FA), Blueberry Extra (TPA). These two flavoring give a nice balance between tart and fresh fruit. A touch of Raspberry or Strawberry can also help if desired.
Granola: Cheesecake (Graham Crust) (TPA), Acetyl Pyrazine 5%. The Cheesecake rounds out the yogurt, while the Graham combined with the AP produce a crispy granola.
Yogurt: Greek Yogurt (TPA), Cream Fresh (FA). Greek Yogurt from the Flavorer's Apprentice is a smooth yogurt and a must-have for any mixer. The fresh cream adds a dairy note and makes the yogurt taste fresh and smooth.
Vanilla: Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (Cap). At only 1.5% to 2%, this is used for the vanilla flavor. It makes the yogurt a vanilla yogurt, and accents the tartness of the blueberry nicely.

Sounds delicious and I like that its a potential S&V. Thanks!
Thanks for the comment. This tastes absolutely delicious after S&V, it does not require steeping. Steeping just helps the cream develop further. Give it a try if you have the ingredients. A lot of the flavorings can also be easily swapped out for similar flavorings.
could probly swap the last two ingrediants eh?
You are right. I like a little vanilla and sucralose, but I bet it is still tasty without them. If you remove them, I recommend upping these:

I’m very aware of rocketman and have attempted some clones myself. Not sure that yogurt it the best one, but what do I know (other than I’ve bought like 4-5 yogurts in the search for the best, but I’m a newbie).
I've got everything you list except blueberry extra... although I have raspberry sweet and blueberry candy by the same company. Plus INW raspberry, CAP Blueberry, CAP Blueberry Jam, and FLV Boysenberry.
Guess it's a crap shoot as to which one would fit in. How’s Blueberry Extra compared to Raspberry Sweet? (Yes, I know ones blue berry and ones raspberry)... just wondering if you've used the two and have remarks for me. I’m definitely interested in trying it somehow.
This recipe is by no means a clone of Rocket Man. It was merely inspired by it. I tried Rocket Man about 6 - 8 months ago, and I was not impressed by it. In my humble opinion, this recipe is better than Rocket Man. The flavors are more pronounced, especially when it is freshly mixed.
I have INW Raspberry, but I don't have any of the others you mentioned. There are Rocket Man clones out there that use Blueberry Candy, so you might want to give that a try. I would play around with a mixture of Bilberry, Blueberry Candy, and TFA's Strawberry (Ripe). Straw ripe won't overpower the blueberry, but might add a fresh ripe berry fruit flavor to offset the tart and the candy. Good luck!
Yeah, I've tried the Rocketman clones you speak of with the blueberry candy. Not so good to be honest.... I adjusted them a bit and did a little tweaking to come up with something new. It wasn't something I was necessarily proud of, but a few of my buddies to this day still ask me for it.
The real Rocketman is quite good with some fresh cotton and after about the first five minutes. After that it starts tasting like shit. The weird thing is it doesn't taste extremely sweet, but it gunks up your coils like crazy. I literally have to change cotton and clean my coils 2 to 3 times a day after I bought a bottle of it. Whatever they did to it, their flavor percentages are way off in a bad way. It's almost like they added a ton of Acetyl Pyrazine to replicate the granola feel, then counteracted the ridiculous amounts of that with 6+% or more sucralose.
I really don't get it, because it taste good with the clean set up at first and everything just goes to shit quickly after that.
I'll give yours a swing and try try the similar fruits out that I have for a replacement.
So I know I am 172 days late to the party, but....sidebar man. Would you think swapping TPA Greek Yogurt with FLV Greek Yogurt @ 4% would work?
I ask because I just ordered a bunch of stuff and am only missing TPA Greek Yogurt.
Sorry for the late reply. I check reddit daily, I don't usually log in unless I have something to say or post. I heard good things about FLV Greek Yogurt, and I'm sure it can work here. The TFA version has a sour note that I really enjoy, specially when it is freshly mixed. I'm not sure if the FLV version does the same. I guess it really depends on how much you enjoy that FLV Greek Yogurt.
Mega Man doesn't eat yogurt because he's a robot (Seriously wtf is with all these "Man" juices?) & this belongs in the monthly recipe thread as you have very limited notes.
Edit: You recommend a shake & vape to 3 day steep, but you just created the recipe yesterday & don't even know what day 2/3 tastes like, wtf?
It is called Mega Man because Mega Man is Blue and it has blueberry. Also because it was inspired by Rocket Man by One Hit Wonder. I have been working on this recipe for some time, so I'm well aware of what it tastes like after steep. My flavor notes are usually concise, but I've added more notes from my notebook. Enjoy!
Why don't you mix this and give it a try instead of bashing? You might actually enjoy this man yogurt.
Bashing you would be calling your recipe shit, & I didnt do that or any bashing - however; I can use better blueberries, better yogurt, better ice cream, & no sweetener, so, I likely won't be trying this & already relatively know how it tastes, but thanks.
