Fro-yo girl here. I first heard about Halo Top’s Frozen Yogurt pops in March 2023, when they were launched. After checking many grocery stores, I concluded that the pops were not available in my area. Well, I finally found some at the newly relaunched Amazon Fresh in Pasadena, California. They had both flavors, Triple Berry and Strawberry. A box of four pops was $5.34, slightly less than the manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $5.49. These pops are supposed to be better for you, an on-the-go nutritious snack.
I haven’t seen frozen skyr popsicles for sale in US grocery stores before. I’ve seen them for sale in other countries though. Halo Top’s frozen yogurt pops are made with creamy Icelandic skyr-style yogurt, crunchy granola, and real fruit. Each pop is 110 calories with 4g of protein. Available flavors: Triple Berry, Strawberry.
Triple Berry: The pop was creamy and not as dense and hard as other yogurt pops. The flavor was okay. It was very sweet. The berries were blended with the yogurt. There wasn’t much granola. The berry bits had some tang. There was a bitter aftertaste. One 64g pop is 110 calories, 3g total fat, 10mg cholesterol, 16g total carbohydrates, 15g total sugars, and 4g proteins. The pops are made with ultrafiltered milk, and sweetened with sugar, corn syrup, and molasses. Yasso pops taste better for sure.
3 out of 5 stars.

Fro-yo girl here. Yasso announced their new line of smaller Greek yogurt bars, called Snack Buddies, back in March 2019. I couldn’t find any till now; Snack Buddies are available nationwide at Target as of this month. Each bar is 45-calories. Snack Buddies are available in the following flavors: Mint Cookie Chums, Strawbuddy Lemonade, Fudge Space Chip, and Party Animal. One box has eight bars. Target was selling the boxes for $5.49 each. The artwork on the boxes is adorable.
Of course, my Target had three out of four flavors and the missing flavor, Mint Cookie Chums, is the one that I know I’d like the best. I’m sure Mint Cookie Chums will show up soon.
While I was at Target, I noticed Halo Top Pops, smaller light ice cream pops that look like Yasso and are 50 calories per pop. They’re made out of ice cream, so I probably won’t try them. Revele Gelato’s whipped Greek frozen yogurt bars are small and 60 calories per pop.
Is it a coincidence that pops are getting smaller?
Millennials and Gen Zs are said to love dessert and snacking. A 2018 study by The Center for Generational Kinetics found that 87% of Gen Z “thinks about dessert one or more times a day.” So, smaller portions in a convenient form make sense.
