TruJoy Yogurt
Fro-yo girl here. I recently tried TruJoy Yogurt, an award-winning line of frozen Greek yogurt from Austin, Texas. While TruJoy Yogurt is not yet available in California, expect to find it in California next year (fingers crossed). You can also order TruJoy Yogurt online.
The founder, Charlie Gentry, wanted to create a healthier frozen treat with simple, clean ingredients that actually tasted good. TruJoy Yogurt is made with Greek yogurt, cane sugar, and live & active cultures. It’s high in protein and gluten-free. What sets TruJoy apart is the clean ingredients and the creamy, scoopable texture (without a crazy amount of sugar). Other frozen yogurt brands sold in supermarkets tend to be too airy or too hard. I also don’t like the use of monkfruit and Stevia (TruJoy Yogurt doesn’t use either).
The packaging is cheerful and each pint is described as “one pint of joy.”
I tried all seven flavors of TruJoy Yogurt, and I’ve ranked them in order of preference.
#1) Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip: As a huge fan of peanut butter froyo, I approve of this flavor. It’s packed with peanut butter flavor and has tasty dark chocolate shavings. The texture was thick, creamy, smooth, and dense. It’s not overly sweet.
#2) Coffee: The texture was slightly less creamy, but I loved the coffee flavor's strength.
#3) Madagascar vanilla: The yogurt had lots of vanilla flecks and a lovely vanilla flavor. It was creamy and rich.
#4) Blueberry parfait: With swirls of blueberry ribbons and granola, this flavor had a mild blueberry flavor. The swirls of blueberry and granola made it texturally interesting. I would like a stronger blueberry flavor.
#5) Lemon velvet: This is a sweet lemon ice cream with a bit of tang. I wanted more vanilla flavor.
#6) Strawberry: Such a pretty light pink froyo. The flavor comes from ripe strawberries blended into yogurt. It’s sweet and mild.
#7) Classic tart: I was impressed by the creamy, smooth texture, but it wasn’t that tart or tangy. It tasted a little like cream cheese.
The fruit flavors and the classic tart weren’t as tart as I expected. They’re still good, but I think adding cream mutes the yogurt flavor.

Thank you, TruJoy Yogurt, for the froyo!
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
