Fro-yo girl here. Great news, Yoga-urt just introduced a naturally sweetened added version of their Pistachio Passion flavor at their Glendale shop. Pistachio Passion has been one of my favorite flavors at Yoga-urt since the first time I tried it in 2018. The flavor is so pistachio forward, with the texture of ground pistachios. It’s made with Santa Barbara pistachios, added to Yoga-urt’s cashew and almond milk base. The naturally sweetened Pistachio Passion froyo was thick, dense, and rich like the regular Pistachio Passion. The date flavor does change Pistachio Passion a bit. It’s still yummy but I slightly prefer the regular Pistachio Passion because organic sugar has a more neutral flavor.
Naturally sweetened Yoga-urt flavors are sweetened with organic dates and organic white grape juice concentrate. Like all Yoga-urt flavors, they’re organic, vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, all-natural, and kosher.
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Fro-yo girl here. It’s time for me to pick my favorite new froyo flavors of 2018. This year’s new flavors didn’t thrill me. Maybe there are so many existing flavors that it’s hard to come up with something new that’s really good? I hope that’s not the case.
Here are my favorites for 2018:
Best Tart Froyo: Green Tea Lemonade frozen yogurt from Pinkberry
Pinkberry introduced three new tart froyo flavors this year. Green Tea Lemonade was my favorite because I love green tea and lemonade. But, it was pretty similar to the old Green Tea flavor that Pinkberry had, only tangier. And I love tang! Still, it wasn’t as good as last year’s winner, Pinkberry’s Blueberry Muffin frozen yogurt with blueberry muffin topping.
Best Sweet Froyo: Cold Brew Coffee from Menchie’s
I was torn between Strawberry Rose froyo from Yogurtland (love that it’s innovative and you could taste the rose) and Cold Brew Coffee from Menchie’s. After eating Strawberry Rose froyo a few times, I experienced some flavor fatigue. Menchie’s Cold Brew Coffee froyo had a stronger coffee flavor and had caffeine.
Best Vegan Froyo: Pistachio Passion from Yoga-urt
Yoga-urt in Glendale, CA has been producing the best vegan froyo flavors ever since they opened. It must be the freshness and quality of their product. They make their own vegan base with housemade cashew and almond milk. Mr. Froyo and I agreed that the best new flavor of the year was Pistachio Passion. He puts it in his top 3 flavors from Yoga-urt (the other two are Ganesha’s Sweet Greens and Peanut Butter Prana. Strawberry Serenity is #4). Pistachio Passion was introduced for World Vegan Day this November. This flavor is made with organic pistachios grown in Santa Barbara. Yoga-urt grinds the pistachios themselves and adds it to their housemade almond/cashew base. Three kinds of nuts! Unlike other pistachio froyo, it’s full of pistachio flavor and has the added texture of the ground nuts.

Fro-yo girl here. Happy Belated World Vegan Day, November 1. Yoga-urt created a new flavor in honor of World Vegan Day: Pistachio Passion. I don’t think I know anyone without a nut allergy who doesn’t like pistachios. Mr. Froyo and I were both looking forward to the new flavor. It’s vegan, organic, kosher, probiotic, hand-crafted, and soy free like all of Yoga-urt’s flavors.
Pistachio Passion: This flavor is made with organic pistachios grown in Santa Barbara. It’s not made with a paste or puree. Yoga-urt grinds the pistachios themselves and adds it to their housemade almond/cashew base. Three kinds of nuts! Unlike other pistachio froyo, it’s full of pistachio flavor and has the added texture of the ground nuts. Mr. Froyo said it’s one of Yoga-urt’s best flavors and has so much more pistachio flavor than other pistachio froyo flavors. We both had a cup and it was so satisfying, wholesome, fresh, and just amazing. Yoga-urt recommends pairing Pistachio Passion with Strawberry Serenity, crushed pistachios, and fresh cut strawberries. I would include some granola. Or add my own pistachio baklava. Drool.
World Vegan Day is celebrated every November 1 since 1994. The Chair of the Vegan Society in the United Kingdom established World Vegan Day to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Vegan Society.
