Pinkberry’s New Flavors, "Springtime Favorites"

Fro-yo girl here. The next batch of three new Pinkberry flavors arrived in stores on May 1st. The “Springtime Favorites” flavors are:

Raspberry: This new tart flavor is surprisingly sweet since I think of raspberries as relatively tart. I like how you can still taste the yogurt flavor but wish the flavor was a bit tangier. The texture is light and very smooth.

Recommended toppings: Raspberries, watermelon, shortbread cookie, yogurt chips

Cinnamon Churro: It’s truly chock full of cinnamon. You can see the cinnamon in the yogurt. The texture is light and smooth. The flavor isn’t too sweet. The cinnamon overpowers the yogurt flavor and I didn’t detect a pastry flavor.

Recommended toppings: Dark chocolate crisps, chocolate chips, cinnamon crumble, shortbread cookie, almonds

Tropical Mango: Pinkberry’s first dairy-free flavor is an all natural fruit soft serve made with fruit, fruit juice, water, citric acid and natural flavors. The mango flavor is ripe and sweet and the texture is firm and not overly icy. Each serving provides three servings of fruit and no added sugar. If you like mango, you’ll like Tropical Mango Pinkberry. 

Recommended toppings: Coconut, popping boba, mango

The new topping, Cinnamon Crumble, reminds me of the cinnamon streusel topping they had in the past, with small crispy, cinnamony crumbs.

My favorite of the new flavors is Raspberry.

Pressed Juicery Freeze Review

Fro-yo girl here. Do you love cold pressed juice? Are you a fan of Pressed Juicery? 

Pressed Juicery launched “Freeze” in June 2014 in Palo Alto, CA. Freeze is a vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free soft serve frozen treat made with 100% fruits, vegetables, and nuts. The flavors are similar to their juice flavors.

Freeze flavors include Greens, Roots, Citrus, Fruits, Chocolate Almond Freeze and Vanilla Almond Freeze. Freeze contains no added sugar but is sweetened naturally with dates. It has no additives or binders. The Chocolate Almond Freeze is made with four ingredients: almond, dates, sea salt and cacao.

I tried the Vanilla Almond Freeze and the consistency was icy and not very smooth, but the flavor was very natural and clean. It's surprisingly sweet thanks to the dates. A small (4 oz.) is $4.95 and you can add healthy toppings like fresh fruit, spices, granola, nuts, almond butter, honey, rose syrup, peanut butter, Hawaiian pink salt, cacao nut freezing drizzle, and goji berries.

Freeze is available at select Pressed Juicery locations. I found it at the Americana. I'd say that it's worth trying.

Less than a block away from Pressed Juicery, Pinkberry at the Americana offered their new Frozen Juice. Frozen Juice was introduced early this year. It’s a dairy-free frozen treat (their first) with no added sugar and three servings of fruit. The price is the same as their frozen yogurt. Dairy-free Pinkberry is currently available only in two locations in the LA area.
