New Flavor, Thai Iced Tea, Introduced by Yoga-urt at Vegan Street Fair

Fro-yo girl here. Mr. Froyo and I went to the Vegan Street Fair in North Hollywood, CA this past weekend for one reason, to try the new froyo flavor, Thai Iced Tea, from Yoga-urt. I wasn’t feeling well, so we only went to Yoga-urt. The festival looked as crowded as ever and Yoga-urt had a long line. A single scoop was $4, 2 scoops $7, and 3 scoops $9. Mr. Froyo had Tantric Tart while I had Thai Iced Tea.

I’ve often wondered which spices go into Thai Iced Tea and what makes it so orange. When I get it at Thai places, it’s usually super sweet and creamy. Did you know that the orange color often comes from food coloring?

I’m sure Yoga-urt didn’t use food coloring, so their Thai Iced Tea froyo wasn’t bright orange. I could see various spices in the scoop but I’m not sure what they were. Mr. Froyo said he tasted cardamom for sure. I thought I tasted cinnamon and vanilla but definitely something else. Tamarind? Not sure, but I was intrigued. Also, I appreciate that the flavor wasn’t as super sweet as actual Thai iced tea.

Thai Iced Tea wasn’t available at the Glendale shop and I didn’t want to wait a whole month to try it.

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

Announcing the Winners of the Creative Froyo Flavor Awards

Fro-yo girl here. The people have spoken and the best creative frozen yogurt flavor is…Strawberries & Cream from Yotopia in Iowa City. Thai Iced Tea from Yogurt Hut (in Oregon) captured second place in the #CreativeFroyoFlavorAwards. Both flavors sound delicious and unique.

Strawberries & Cream is a classic combination and a traditional English dessert. Yotopia’s Strawberries & Cream froyo is a truly local creation, made by Country View Dairy with dairy from Iowa cows.

The International Frozen Yogurt Association (IFYA) and FrozenDessertSupplies.com launched the first “Creative Froyo Flavor Awards” contest in June 2014 to find the best creative froyo flavors. Frozen yogurt shops across the country were invited to submit their original, creative frozen yogurt flavors. Next, a panel of frozen yogurt experts from the IFYA, FrozenDessertSupplies.com and Nanci’s Frozen Yogurt, selected the top 5 flavors based on creativity and appeal. These flavors were posted on the IFYA FB page and the online public vote determined the two winners.

Contest winners will receive a prize package of frozen yogurt supplies (frozen yogurt cups, frozen yogurt spoons, cup lids) from contest sponsor, FrozenDessertSupplies.com.

Congrats to the winners of the Creative Froyo Flavor Awards!

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