All the Current Froyo Offerings at Bristol Farms

 

Fro-yo girl here. During my recent trip to Bristol Farms in South Pasadena, CA, I realized that I had never seen so many froyo products for sale. Frozen yogurt is back! Here’s a look at what froyo products they’re currently selling:

• Kri Kri Greek frozen yogurt tubs and bars: Kri Kri is a Greek dairy company. The products that they’re selling in the US are made in Greece with Greek dairy. They were introduced to the US recently. Link to review. There are four bars/lollies/pops per box. The Greek froyo bars have a fruit coating and a fruit ripple. 
• Wild About Mixmi Froyo: individual-sized froyo cups sold in boxes, the size and nutritional content make these popular at schools. The froyo cups have probiotics and prebiotic fiber.
• Enlightened Greek yogurt bars: the low calorie and low sugar bars contain 3 grams of added sugar, 5 grams of protein, prebiotics, and probiotics. Each bar is 80 calories.
• Jeni’s frozen dessert sandwiches: Two varieties are made with froyo, key lime pie and triple berry tart. The cookies and the froyo are superior to your typical frozen dessert sandwiches.
• Sweetkiwi tubs: for yogurt lovers, this is one of the few products that doesn’t mask the flavor of the yogurt. Sweetkiwi whipped Greek froyo is rich in probiotics, fiber, and immune-boosting superfoods and it's low in calories.
• Yasso bars: I first reviewed Yasso’s Greek yogurt bars back in 2012. They’re still around and have introduced many flavors and variations over the years (pints, cookie sandwiches, Greek froyo mochi). I like their chocolate dipped bars, which Bristol Farms currently carries.

Yes, I’ve tried them all. The Jeni’s key lime pie sandwiches are my current favorite but I would also recommend Sweetkiwi’s Smurf Berry tubs and Yasso chocolate dipped bars.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

NEW Jeni’s Frozen Dessert Sandwiches, Exclusively at Whole Foods

Fro-yo girl here. Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams recently released three new frozen dessert sandwiches, and they’re available exclusively at Whole Foods. Two of the three sandwiches feature froyo!

The sandwiches are:

• Mint Chocolate Truffle: Palate-cooling peppermint cream with dark chocolate cookies
• Key Lime Pie: Tropical, tart, and uber creamy key lime with graham cracker cookies (contains yogurt)
• Triple Berry Tart: Sweet-tart and ultra-lush purple berry cream with chocolate cookies (contains yogurt)

One box contains three individually wrapped sandwiches. The MRSP is $7.99. Each sandwich is 3.5 fl oz. I found all three sandwich varieties at Whole Foods in Pasadena, CA. They were on sale for $7.19/box.

Key Lime Pie: This was my favorite sandwich. Key lime pie is one of my favorite flavors and this one delivered on the tart key lime flavor that I love. In fact, I’d say that the flavor was very tangy and you could really taste the lime. The texture of the froyo was creamy and not too soft or too hard. The graham cracker cookies were soft and tasty. The combination of the cookies with the tart key lime froyo also really worked. And I liked the size – not too tiny but not huge. One sandwich is 210 calories, 8g total fat, 34 total carbs, 19g total sugars, and 3g protein. 5 out of 5 stars.

Triple Berry Tart: This sandwich was good but I didn’t enjoy the cookie/froyo combination as much and the froyo wasn’t as tangy, even though there was less sugar than the key lime pie sandwich. The froyo is made with blackberries, blueberries, and red raspberries and the chocolate cookie was soft. The tartness was mild but the berry ice cream was creamy, rich, and fruit-forward. One sandwich was 210 calories, 9g total fat, 32g total carbs, 17g total sugars, and 4g protein. 4 out of 5 stars.

I remember when Jeni’s used to have macaroon and cookie ice cream sandwiches. Haven’t seen any of those for years, unfortunately. They were so good! I'm thrilled to see that Jeni's has new froyo sandwiches.
