2025 Pumpkin Yogurt Rankings

Fro-yo girl here. Happy National Pumpkin Month and National Pumpkin Spice Day! It’s also time for the annual pumpkin yogurt rankings. I was surprised that many markets had little to no pumpkin yogurt. Whole Foods had the best selection of pumpkin yogurt this year. This year, I’m ranking five pumpkin yogurt products, all sourced from Whole Foods. I tried all five side by side but not blind.

The contenders:

• Chobani Pumpkin Spice, 5.3 oz, lowfat blended Greek yogurt
• Culina Pumpkin Spice, 5 oz, Greek-style blended dairy-free yogurt (coconut-based), sweetened with maple syrup
• Ellenos Pumpkin Pie, 6 oz, whole milk Greek yogurt, with pie toppings in a separate compartment
• Noosa Pumpkin, 8 oz, whole milk Australian yogurt
• Siggi’s Pumpkin & Spice, 5.3 oz, lowfat blended Icelandic skyr

The rankings (in order of preference):

1. Ellenos: Last year’s winner was still the best pumpkin yogurt, even without the buttery spiced cookie crumble topping that they provide. It tastes the most like pumpkin pie, especially with the cookie crumble.
2. Culina: The most spice-forward pumpkin yogurt, I also enjoyed the tang. I could taste the coconut, ginger, and clove, but the pumpkin, not so much. It was less sweet than all but Siggi’s.
3. Siggi’s: The most sour of the yogurts that I tried, it also had a hint of nutmeg.
4. Chobani: I could taste the nutmeg and cinnamon. It was not super sweet but had an aftertaste that the others didn’t.
5. Noosa: I do like Noosa in general, but the yogurt was just too sweet and didn’t have much pumpkin or spice.

I haven’t seen La Fermiere’s pumpkin yogurt yet this year.

Chobani Zero Sugar Greek Yogurt Review

Fro-yo girl here. Chobani launched a zero sugar line of Greek yogurt back in June 2021. I did see it in stores, but the idea of yogurt sweetened with sugar alternatives didn’t appeal to me (e.g., I did not like Two Good Greek yogurt). But with all the new zero sugar products coming out, including Chobani’s new zero sugar line of yogurt drinks, I decided to give Chobani Zero Sugar yogurt a try. Chobani Zero Sugar has done well thanks to the interest in zero-sugar products.

Chobani Zero Sugar yogurt is made with filtered milk and only natural ingredients. It’s lactose-free and has live and active cultures. The main ingredients are ultra-filtered nonfat milk, water, and skim milk. It’s sweetened with allulose, stevia, and monk fruit.

I found Chobani Zero Sugar yogurt at Target for $1.25 on sale (regular price, $1.69). One cup is 5.3 oz.

Available flavors: Strawberry, Toasted Coconut Vanilla, Vanilla, Mixed Berry, Strawberry Cheesecake, Blueberry, Milk & Cookies, Key Lime Pie, Peach, Black Cherry, Pumpkin Spice, Raspberry, Lemon Meringue Pie

Milk & Cookies: It’s hard to imagine a cookie without sugar. The yogurt was thick and creamy. I was surprised by the whiteness of the yogurt and the lack of visible cookies. It did have a chocolate sandwich cookie flavor but it was more like a hint of cookie flavor. The yogurt seemed very sweet in an artificial way (yes, the sweeteners they use are natural but they have an aftertaste). The flavor was bland, very sweet, and chalky.

Vanilla: This one was smooth and creamy. It tasted sour, rotten, and sweet with a very heavy mouthfeel. It reminded me of glue. One serving is 60 calories, 0g total fat, 5g total carbs, 0g sugars, and 11g protein.

I don’t like Chobani Zero Sugar at all. I don’t think I can finish a cup of it.

1 out of 5 stars.

Chobani Probiotic Plant-Based Drink Review

Fro-yo girl here. I spotted Chobani Probiotic plant-based drinks at Gelson’s in La Canada Flintridge when they were on sale, 2 for $4. They’re regularly $3.49 each. One bottle is 14 oz (414 ml). I wasn’t really sure what they were but they’re similar to kombucha without being kombucha. Kombucha is fermented tea. Chobani Probiotic plant-based drink is fermented oats, apple cider vinegar, and 9% fruit juice. The drinks are organic, non-dairy, naturally fermented, non-GMO, gluten-free, and probiotic. According to the bottle, “billions of cultures are feeding on oats and apples. In the bottle, cultures stay live and active. In your gut, they flourish, supporting immune health and digestion.”

Available flavors: Lemon Ginger, Pineapple Turmeric, Peach Mint, Cherry Hibiscus Tea

Peach Mint: A pretty peach color, the drink smells and tastes like fresh peaches with a hint of mint, only much tangier. It has a fermented scent and is lightly effervescent. It’s low in sugar, so I appreciate that. It’s light and refreshing. Compared to kombucha, it’s much fruitier (and has much more fruit juice). One bottle is 70 calories, 2g fat, 14g total carbs, 10g sugar, and 2g protein.

Pineapple Turmeric: The pineapple flavor is surprisingly strong and it’s very tangy with a sweeter aftertaste than the Peach Mint. The turmeric flavor is subtle.

Both drinks were very good. I still prefer kombucha but I’d get Chobani Probiotic plant-based drinks again.

4 out of 5 stars.

Chobani Oat Blend Yogurt Review

Fro-yo girl here. Chobani recently launched plant-based Chobani Oat, “batch-made oat-based drinks, oat blends, and crunch.” Oat Blends, aka plant-based yogurt alternative, are made with “organic whole grain oats, cane sugar, coconut, tapioca flour, pea protein, and live and active cultures.”

The current Chobani Oat packaging is a bit confusing because the word yogurt is missing, but it looks like a yogurt cup and is sold in the yogurt section. I found Chobani Oat at Target during a buy one, get one free sale. The regular price was $2.23 for a 5.3 oz cup.

Vanilla (Oat): It didn’t have an appealing scent or appearance (greyish brown, soft and gelatinous). The flavor was surprisingly tangy yet also very sweet. It was too sweet and bland despite the sweetness and tanginess. I wouldn’t get it again.

Strawberry Vanilla (Oat): This one smelled and tasted better thanks to the strawberry. It was sweet and tangy and I could taste the strawberry with a hint of oat. However, it was also very sweet.

Available flavors: Vanilla, Peach Mandarin, Strawberry Vanilla, Blueberry Pomegranate

I tried Non-Dairy Chobani yogurt before and Chobani Oat is similar but tangier. The texture of both products is soft and gelatinous. The Oat blend is tangy and more yogurt like, but the Non-Dairy has less sugar.

One serving of Chobani Oats (Vanilla) has 120 calories, 3g total fat, 21g total carbs, 13g total sugars and 3g protein.

3.5 out of 5 stars.

Non-Dairy Chobani Yogurt Review

Fro-yo girl here. Dairy-free continues to be all the rage. Chobani, the #1 Greek yogurt in the US, just introduced its first plant-based product, Non-Dairy Chobani. Chobani describes Non-Dairy Chobani as “a delicious, non-dairy coconut-based blend packed with probiotics and made with 25% less sugar than other non-dairy alternatives. It’s the perfect non-dairy choice, made the Chobani Way: with only natural ingredients and real fruit for a creamy texture and refreshing taste.” It’s non-GMO, soy-free, and gluten-free.

I found Non-Dairy Chobani at Sprouts in Alhambra, CA. The retail price was $2.49 and the sale price was $2.29. One cup is 5.3 oz, typical for yogurt. I like the leafy green packaging, a good visual representation for something plant-based. It’s interesting and even a bit strange that Chobani doesn’t call Non-Dairy Chobani yogurt.

Slightly Sweet Plain: Since this is the lowest sugar flavor, it caught my eye and interest. I’ve had coconut-based non-dairy yogurt before, but other brands. While COYO was too thick and rich, Dairy-Free Chobani suffers the opposite problem – it’s not thick enough. The texture is a little strange – liked thickened cream that’s almost gelatinous, something that’s obviously been thickened with additives. But I liked the overall mild coconut flavor (I don’t like coconuts) and the fact that it was less sweet. I suspect that Plain is the best Non-Dairy Chobani flavor. One serving is 130 calories, 8g fat, 16g carbs, 7g sugars, 2g fiber, and 1g protein.

Strawberry: This is a blended flavor. I could taste the strawberry and the coconut. The strawberry flavor was stronger. The flavor was fine but too sweet since it didn’t have any sourness or tanginess. One serving has 140 calories, 7g fat, 19g carbs, 11g sugars, 2g fiber, and 1g protein. 

Ingredients (Strawberry): Cultured coconut blend (water, coconut, tapioca flour, agar, cultures), cane sugar, strawberries, water, chicory root fiber, lemon juice concentrate, natural flavors, fruit pectin, fruit and vegetable juice concentrate (for color), locust bean gum

Available flavors of Single Serve Cups: Blueberry, Peach, Slightly Sweet Plain, Strawberry, and Vanilla

Available flavors of Single Serve Drinks: Mango, Slightly Sweet Plain, Strawberry, and Vanilla Chai

3.5 out of 5 stars.

Chobani Less Sugar Greek Yogurt Review

Fro-yo girl here. A few months ago, Chobani rolled out its new line of low sugar, high protein Greek yogurt, called A Hint of…, across the US. Recently, they added lower sugar mix-in style Greek yogurt (similar to their Flips) which I spotted at Target. The sign said New at Target, so the product line extension must be pretty new. Also, it says “New” on the packaging.

Chobani Less Sugar Greek Yogurt is $1.19 each. It’s made with 2% lowfat milk and has “30% less sugar than other mix-in yogurts.” One cup is 4.5 oz. It’s Kosher and all natural.

Available flavors: Raspberry Chocolate Crunch, Lemon Cookie Crunch, Vanilla Mocha Crunch, Mango Coconut Crunch, Honey Pistachio Crunch

* Vanilla Mocha Crunch: This item features Madagascar vanilla & cinnamon lowfat Greek yogurt with biscotti pieces, mocha brownies & hazelnuts. The yogurt is smooth and has a mild, light vanilla flavor. It's thick but not as thick as skyr. The cinnamon flavor is even more subtle. It has a little sourness but it’s still sweet (but not too sweet). The toppings add sweetness and crunch. The brownies were tiny and firm. The biscotti was more like a crumble. One cup is 140 calories, 4.5g fat, 12g sugars, and 10g protein.

* Lemon Cookie Crunch: This item features Fino lemon lowfat Greek yogurt with lemon cookie crumble and white chocolate chunks. The yogurt was smooth, sweet and tangy. The lemon flavor tasted different, maybe because it’s Fino lemon. I liked that there was a tartness but I’m used to the Fino lemon flavor.

Ingredients (Vanilla Mocha Crunch): Cultured pasteurized nonfat milk, cream, live and active cultures, cane sugar, water, hazelnuts, wheat flour, wheat starch, sunflower oil, milk, natural flavors, coffee powder, milk protein, fruit pectin, chocolate, cocoa butter, locust bean gum, guar gum, cinnamon, lemon juice concentrate, soy lecithin, vanilla extract, salt

Chobani Greek Yogurt with A Hint of…Review

Fro-yo girl here. This past August, Chobani rolled out its new line of low sugar, high protein Greek yogurt, called A Hint of…, across the US. Hint achieves a milder flavor by using different yogurt cultures than Chobani’s core Greek yogurt line. It does not contan high intensity sweeteners. I found it at Target for $1.59 each, with a 30 cents off coupon, compared to $1.00 for the core Chobani Greek yogurt line. It’s more expensive than the regular Chobani but it appeals to people like me who find that regular yogurt is often too sweet. Chobani uses “hand-selected varietal fruits and nourishing spices for a curated approach to wellness and taste.”

Hint comes in seven flavors: Madagascar Vanilla & Cinnamon, Wild Blueberry, Monterey Strawberry, Gili Cherry, Alphonso Mango, Clingstone Peach, and Willamette Raspberry. All of the flavors sound appealing.

Each 5.3 oz cup contains 2% milkfat, 12g protein, and 9g of sugar. Demand has increased for less sweet options (yay!).

The packaging is nice – with a subtle hint of color towards the bottom hinting at the flavor within. The shape is curved.

* Hint of Willamette Raspberry: The yogurt smelled nice and yogurt-like. The texture was smooth, creamy, and thicker, though not as thick as skyr. The raspberries were blended in. I could not see any seeds or skin. The color was a pretty pale pink. One cup (150g) was 120 calories. The flavor was pleasant – sour, tangy, with less raspberry flavor. It’s a milder yogurt, as Chobani promised. It was definitely sweet enough. I don’t need a milder yogurt though, so I’m more of a skyr person. I appreciate Chobani's low sugar line though, and I like how it does not use high intensity sweeteners.

Ingredients: Lowfat yogurt (cultured pasteurized nonfat milk, cream), water, evaporated cane sugar, raspberry puree, natural flavors, vegetable juice concentrate (for color), fruit pectin, locust bean gum, guar gum.

4 out of 5 stars.

Chobani Whole Milk Flip Review

Fro-yo girl here. It’s difficult to keep up with all the new products at Chobani. Last month, they expanded their popular Flip product line with the first whole milk Flip varieties. The four new whole milk Flip flavors are Pure Cherry, Pure Blueberry, Pure Raspberry and Pure Pear & Honey.

The packaging looks familiar. It has the same side compartment but instead of crunchy toppings, the compartment is filled with fruit. One serving is 5.3 ounces. Chobani is all natural, probiotic, rBST free, non-GMO, gluten-free, Kosher, with no preservatives.

* Pure Blueberry: The blueberry puree is thicker than a syrup and it had a few whole blueberries. I blended it pretty thoroughly with the yogurt side. The Greek yogurt is plain and unsweetened, so it is sour. The texture is thick and creamy. It’s definitely richer than the nonfat Chobani. The blueberry puree tasted very sweet but once you blend it in to the plain yogurt, it’s not that sweet. One serving is 140 calories. Once I blended the blueberry puree and yogurt, the blueberry flavor was more muted.

* Pure Raspberry: I liked this better than Pure Blueberry. The raspberry puree had seeds and it seemed more flavorful than the blueberry puree. It also seemed thicker than the blueberry puree. This time I didn’t blend the raspberry puree in thoroughly and it was nicer to eat it this way because of the pops of raspberry flavor contrasted with the creamier whole milk yogurt. One serving is 140 calories, 5g fat, and 11g sugars.

Ingredients (Pure Raspberry): Yogurt (cultured pasteurized nonfat milk, cream), raspberry puree, evaporated cane juice, water, pectin, natural flavor, fruit juice concentrate for color, locust bean gum, lemon juice concentrate

I do miss the crunch that the other Flip flavors offer but I also like how they kept the fruit in a separate compartment. I recommend not thoroughly stirring the fruit and yogurt together but swirling them together lightly.

I found Chobani Whole Milk Flip at Target for $1.19 each.

Chobani Flip: Review of New Flavors

Fro-yo girl here. Greek yogurt sales are on the rise again, with Chobani Flip doing particularly well. It is #1 brand of mix in yogurt. The four new flavors are Peppermint Perfection (limited batch), PB&J, Sriracha Mango and Chipotle Pineapple. What’s notable about these new flavors is that they include the first sweet and spicy offerings. http://www.chobani.com/products/flip

One serving is 5.3 ounces and lowfat. Chobani is all natural, rBST free, gluten-free, Kosher, with no preservatives.

* PB&J: Strawberry lowfat yogurt, peanut butter clusters, honey granola and honey roasted peanuts. The strawberry yogurt was creamy with the strawberry blended throughout. It was mildly tangy and not super sweet but somewhat bland. I liked the crunchy peanutty toppings better than the yogurt. Nutritional information: 200 calories, 6g fat.* Peppermint Perfection (seasonal, limited batch): PP features vanilla lowfat yogurt with dark chocolate cookies, dark chocolate and peppermint white chocolate chunks. The yogurt was creamy and tangy but bland. I liked the toppings better than the yogurt - crunchy cookies and creamy chocolate bits. Nutritional information: 200 calories, 6g fat.

* Sriracha Mango: Mango lowfat yogurt, Srirachca coated rice crisps, mini sesame sticks, roasted and salted cashew pieces. This one initially sounded odd to me but I’m glad I tried it because it wound up being my favorite of the new flavors. For some reason I expected the sriracha to be in the yogurt but it wasn’t. I think the mango yogurt was the best. It had chunks of mango in it that tasted like fresh mango. It was creamy, fruity, sweet and tangy. The Sriracha flavor isn’t strong, it hits you after you eat the rice crackers. I really liked the toppings – crunchy, nutty and a good level of salt. Nutritional information: 190 calories, 6g fat.

* Chipotle Pineapple: Pineapple lowfat yogurt, chipotle granola, smoked almonds, pumpkin seeds. It’s similar to Sriracha Mango but not as good. The pineapple yogurt had tiny pieces of pineapple and a sweet, tangy flavor profile. The chipotle spice is not strong or overpowering. Toppings are deliciously crunchy. Nutritional information: 190 calories, 6g fat.

I found three of the flavors at my local Target (regular price $1.39) and the fourth at Vons (regular price $1.60). For some reason multiple Target locations did not carry the Chipotle Pineapple flavor. A lot of places that carry Chobani didn’t have the new flavors.

The Chobani Flip product line has really good toppings and not just one kind of topping but a good crunchy blend of toppings. Key Lime Crumble is still my favorite Flip but Sriracha Mango is second.

Chobani Limited Batch Concord Grape and Green Tea Greek Yogurt, Chobani Greek Yogurt Oats Review

Fro-yo girl here. I like the idea of seasonal Greek yogurt flavors. Last fall Chobani introduced two seasonal limited batch Greek yogurt flavors, Apple Cinnamon and Pumpkin Spice. Last month they introduced their latest limited batch flavors, Concord Grape and Green Tea.

Limited batch flavors are available while supplies last for a limited time only. They’re creative, unexpected flavors for adult palates. The product is a blended, 2% milkfat Greek yogurt that’s all natural with live and active cultures.

* Green Tea (4 out of 5 stars): This was my favorite limited batch flavor. The texture was thick, smooth and creamy. The flavor was tangy and not too sweet with a hint of green tea flavor.

* Concord Grape (3 out of 5 stars): Smooth, thick and creamy without any grape bits (it’s flavored with grape puree and grape juice concentrate), it had the distinctive Concord grape flavor…which I’m not sure that I like that much. 

I found Chobani Limited Batch Greek Yogurt at Target. One 5.3 oz cup is $1.14.

While I was at Target I decided to try Chobani Greek Yogurt Oats too. It was on sale for $1 a cup. One serving is also 5.3 oz. The yogurt is made with 1.5% milkfat milk and is 170 calories per serving. I tried the cranberry flavor. The oats are soft and chewy and they make it a more filling snack. It also had bits of cranberry. The yogurt was creamy and tangy but sweeter than I expected. The chewiness was okay but I would have preferred a crunchy topping. 3 out of 5 stars.

Chobani is coming out with interesting new products that are worth trying.

Fro-yo Spoons from NYC

Fro-yo girl here. My fro-yo spoon collection has expanded thanks to my new green and magenta spoons from 16 Handles. The spoons are biodegradable and they say Handle It on the handle. Cute. 

I also saved my glass Chobani cup from the Chobani SoHo boutique.

Year End Fro-yo Wrap Up

Fro-yo girl here. Where has 2012 gone? It’s time for my year end summary of the world of fro-yo. 

Bay Area comings and goings: In Bay Area news, fro-yo shops continued to close but new ones, particularly from chains, continued to open. Red Mango returned to the Bay Area, opening a self-serve shop in Emeryville. Yogurtland finally opened a store in SF this month. SF earned the distinction of being the location for Pinkberry’s 200th store. I’m really happy that Easy Breezy opened in Noe Valley. Sadly, the Bay Area said goodbye to fro-yo shops like The Mix, YoSwirl, Yogurt Train, SoFrais, Luscious, and one of my former favorites, Culture Organic Frozen Yogurt. YoCup changed ownership.

Special fro-yo spoons: It was a very good year for fro-yo spoon fans. Yogurtland gave us four new limited time only Sanrio fro-yo spoon designs: TuxedoSam, Bad Badtz Maru, Hello Kitty and Little Twin Stars. Menchie’s introduced limited edition Chip fro-yo spoons. Tutti Frutti now carries fruit shaped logo fro-yo spoons in five colors. 

Supermarket fro-yo offerings keep expanding: Ben & Jerry’s, Ciao Bella, TCBY, Healthy Choice, Trader Joe’s, Stonyfield Oikos, and Yoplait launched new fro-yo flavors this year. The Ben & Jerry’s truck visited SF and handed out Greek fro-yo in May. Supermarket yogurt brands aren’t content to stay in the supermarket either. 

(Non-frozen) yogurt shops open: Chobani and Yogurt Culture Company (owned by Dannon) opened yogurt shops in SoHo and Midtown, respectively. Pinkberry launched Greek yogurt (not frozen) at a few locations.

More chains go self-serve: TCBY, Golden Spoon, and Yogen Fruz joined the list of self-serve fro-yo shops. With so much self-serve fro-yo, fro-yo creations now look uglier than ever. Pinkberry seems to be the only major chain that's holding out against the trend.

Favorite Yogurt Brand Poll Results

Fro-yo girl here. I asked readers to vote for their favorite brand of Greek yogurt and the results are in. Fage won easily, with 46% of the vote. Chobani was a distant second, with 20% of the vote. Fage is the brand I think of first when I think of Greek yogurt and it's actually a Greek company. In 2008, they started manufacturing their yogurt in New York.

Earlier this year they expanded their product lineup Fage Total 0% flavors. Flavors: blueberry-acai, cherry-pomegranate, mango-guanabana, strawberry-goji and honey. I've seen Fage Total 0% flavors at Target and Whole Foods.


* Cherry-pomegranate Fage yogurt ($1.99 at Whole Foods): The cherry pomegranate is in a separate compartment and looks like a thick syrup with pieces of cherry. The yogurt is unsweetened, creamy, and sour. The cherry pomegranate mixture is very sweet and when I mixed it with the yogurt, it was more sour than it was tangy. I didn't like having to keep stirring it in and having uneven flavor. Find a coupon for Total 0% on the Fage website.

4 out of 5 stars.

Greek Strained Yogurt Taste Test

Fro-yo girl here. Though I’m well known for my fro-yo appetite, I also enjoy non-frozen yogurt. I’ve sampled various types including sheep’s milk yogurt, goat’s milk yogurt, soy yogurt, French style yogurt (Saint Benoit Yogurt), and Greek style strained yogurt. I prefer Greek style yogurt for superior smoothness and sour taste. I like to add fresh fruit and honey.

I recently sampled three brands of plain, non-fat Greek Style yogurt purchased from Whole Foods: Chobani, Fage and Oikos. The taste isn’t the big differentiating factor. Each is made with milk and live cultures (and nothing else). Chobani was the smoothest and creamiest of the three, followed by Fage. Fage was a little more whipped/airier than Chobani. Oikos by Stonyfield Farm was noticeably clumpier than the other two brands.
