Woman’s World You Deserve the Best Frozen Yogurt

Fro-yo girl here. I was recently approached by Woman’s World for supermarket fro-yo recommendations for their You Deserve the Best Frozen Yogurt feature. One of my picks appear in the June 25th issue, on sale on newsstands from June 14 - 20. A woman in a pink bikini is on the cover. You can find my pick in the article entitled “You deserve the best frozen yogurt.”

Here are the rest of my favorite supermarket frozen yogurt products:

• BEST ORGANIC FROZEN YOGURT:  Julie’s Organic Vanilla, it’s sweet and gelato-like with a clean, pure flavor
• BEST TART FROZEN YOGURT: Double Rainbow Strawberry Tart has that creamy, firm, smooth texture that I look for and it tastes more natural than competitors. It’s a cross between a good strawberry sorbet and strawberry ice cream with a nice tartness.
• BEST SWEET FROZEN YOGURT: Haagen Dazs Vanilla Honey & Granola is very sweet but also really good. It still has a hint of real yogurt flavor. I love the flavor of the honey and the slightly crunchy granola bits.
• BEST GREEK FROZEN YOGURT: Ben & Jerry’s has a good smooth texture and real yogurt flavor, plus the add-ins (fudge chunks, graham crackers) are very flavorful

I tried Blue Bunny’s frozen yogurt bars after I provided my picks to Woman’s World. Blue Bunny’s frozen yogurt bars are better than Jamba Juice’s (the product I picked in WW).

Julie's Organic Lemon Frozen Yogurt Sandwiches Review

Fro-yo girl here. Julie's Organic has one variety of frozen yogurt sandwiches, Lemon Yogurt with Vanilla Cookies. A package of sandwiches in a cute tube costs $5.69 at Whole Foods.

The round vanilla cookies have a pretty pattern but the taste and texture (hard, crumbly, like sand cookies) are strange. I realized after the fact that they were vegan cookies. The frozen yogurt is sweet and lemony, which is disappointing since I love a good tart lemon flavor. I also didn't like the thick, sticky, gelato like consistency.

3 out of 5 stars.

Julie's Organic Frozen Yogurt Review

Fro-yo girl here. I found Julie's Organic Frozen Yogurt in the freezer at the Cheese Boutique. I'm not sure how many fro-yo flavors are available (there was more than one at CB, none were tart) but I took home a pint of Vanilla Bean. Julie's is an Oregon Ice Cream brand that also offers a line of organic ice cream. In addition to being organic and lowfat, Julie's fro-yo has prebiotic fiber and six active probiotic yogurt cultures. The list of ingredients is short (which is a good sign).

I found their fro-yo to be quite sweet but also smooth, rich and pure tasting. I was happy to see vanilla bean flecks. The texture is very thick and sticky, almost like gelato. I topped mine with crunchy organic cereal from Cascadian Farms. Yum.

Minor flaws: it's too sticky and it tastes more like gelato than fro-yo.

4.5 stars out of 5
