Yogurtland & Nintendo Game On New Flavor: Koopa Troopa’s Lemon Cupcake & New Luigi Spoon

Fro-yo girl here. The latest Nintendo inspired flavor arrives in Yogurtland stores today, Koopa Troopa’s Lemon Cupcake. Of all the Nintendo Yogurtland flavors, this and Dragon Berry Tart were the ones that I was the most looking forward to trying. I love lemon flavors like Tweety’s Lemon Cream Cookie (Yogurtland Looney Tunes 2013) and Lemon Lime Pinkberry.

* Koopa Troopa’s Lemon Cupcake: “Straight from Koopa Village, this dessert combines the sweet, creamy flavors of lemon zest, gourmet cake and buttercream frosting for a bakery treat no Koopa Troopa would resist.” It’s non-fat and has vanilla wafers in it. If you like sweet lemon chiffon cake, you’ll probably enjoy this sweet, creamy flavor. I love the zesty tang of lemons and that was absent here.

Recommended toppings: Pineapple, coconut, mochi, granola, Nilla wafers

Today was also the first day for a new Yogurtland Nintendo spoon design, Luigi’s green froyo spoon.

Koopa Troopa’s Lemon Cupcake is available while supplies last. Mark your calendar for the next and last new Nintendo flavor, Luigi’s White Chocolate Pistachio, which will be released on August 26.

Yogurtland & Nintendo Game On New Flavor: Donkey Kong Banana Cream

Fro-yo girl here. The new Nintendo inspired flavor, Donkey Kong Banana Cream, officially started swirling at participating Yogurtland locations on August 5th. My Yogurtland didn’t have the flavor yesterday but it’s available today.

* Donkey Kong Banana Cream: According to the flavor card, “Donkey Kong is going bananas over this extra creamy dessert. We blended real bananas with rich vanilla for a velvety sweetness that will leave you in a banana bonanza.” It’s non-fat and gluten free. I personally find bananas and banana flavors to be vile and disgusting, but I tried this flavor anyway. It wasn’t horrible so that probably means it’s very good if you like banana. The banana flavor was noticeable but not intense. The vanilla mutes it so that it tastes like French vanilla froyo with bananas. Recommended toppings: Peanut butter sauce, mini Nutter Butters, Nilla wafers, chopped peanuts

Donkey Kong Banana Cream is available while supplies last. Mark your calendar for the next new flavor, Shy Guy’s Pineapple Lime Coconut Sorbet on August 12.

Yogurtland & Nintendo Game On New Flavor & New Spoon: Princess Peach Tart

Fro-yo girl here. A new Nintendo inspired froyo flavor is now swirling at Yogurtland, Princess Peach Tart. Since I love tart, fruity flavors, I was excited about the new flavor. Yogurtland already has a Juicy Peach Tart flavor that I like and I believe Princess Peach Tart is the same as Juicy Peach Tart, only with a new name.

Also, the new Princess Peach spoon arrived today. It’s pink and fit for a princess.

* Princess Peach Tart: According to the flavor card, “Princess Peach brings the flavors of summer to the Kingdom with this refreshingly fruity tart. It combines real, fresh-picked peaches for a lightly tangy taste with natural sweetness and vitamin C.” It’s made with real peach. It’s one of the sweeter tart flavors though it still has a mild tang and a juicy, refreshing quality. Recommended toppings: Popping boba, sour gummy worms, fresh strawberries, raspberry puree

Princess Peach tart is available while supplies last. Mark your calendar for the next new flavor, Donkey Kong Banana Cream on August 5.

Yogurtland & Nintendo Game On New Spoon & New Flavor: Yoshi’s Honeydew & Yoshi Spoon

Fro-yo girl here. There’s a new Nintendo froyo flavor at Yogurtland stores today: Yoshi’s Honeydew. According to the flavor card, “Honeydew melons are sweet, juicy, delicious and packed with vitamin C, just like Yoshi’s creamy honeydew flavor yogurt.” Yoshi’s Honeydew froyo is non-fat, gluten free and vitamin C fortified.

* Yoshi’s Honeydew: The yogurt was very thick and creamy (and yes, it’s non-fat). It does taste like honeydew melon (and the honeydew flavor is strong, there wasn’t any natural tangy yogurt flavor) and it’s sweet but it had a bitter gum like aftertaste that might have been the guar gum. It’s also strange to experience a creamy, rich honeydew dessert. Maybe a sorbet would have been better? Multiple people told me that they really like the Yoshi's Honeydew so it could just be my sensitivity to guar gum. Recommended toppings: Popping boba, honeydew, mochi

The new green Yoshi spoons are adorable. The spoon only shows part of Yoshi.

Yoshi’s Honeydew is available while supplies last. The next new flavor is Goomba’s Iced Coffee which comes out on July 22.

Yogurtland & Nintendo Game On Launch Party, New Flavors

Fro-yo girl here. The newest Yogurtland promotion, Yogurtland & Nintendo Game On, started today. I don’t play Nintendo games like Mario Kart 7 and New Super Mario Bros. 2, but I’m still excited about the new Nintendo character spoons and flavors. Nintendo is promoting its 3DS games for their hand-held systems and reaching families in a new way.

Yogurtland CSUF (the first Yogurtland location, by Cal State Fullerton) had a launch party today with photo opps, free froyo for the first 50 guests and a prize wheel (customers can spin the wheel all day today). Yogurtland associates had red Nintendo t-shirts and hats. There wasn’t any Yogurtland/Nintendo merchandise for sale.

There are ten Nintendo inspired flavors during the promotion, with release dates indicated.

• Mario’s Chocolate Gelato (July 1): “What better way for Mario to fuel up than with this decadent chocolate gelato. We combined real chocolate, rich cocoa, and a hint of vanilla for a creamy blend of chocolatey goodness.” The gelato has live and active cultures. It was creamy and rich…tasted like a fudgsicle. Recommended toppings: Cap’n Crunch or Cinnamon Toast Crunch, chocolate chips
• Bowser’s Dragon Berry Tart (July 1): “Real dragon fruit, raspberries and blueberries come together to create a lightly tart, vitamin C packed treat. Even Bowser can’t say no to this berry refreshing flavor.” I can see why Bowser likes this flavor; it’s really fruity. Raspberries and blueberries are some of my favorite berries. You can see bits of fruit in the mix. It’s creamy, tangy and berry flavorful. Recommended toppings: Berries, blueberry puree, popping boba
• Toad’s Rocky Road (July 8)
• Yoshi’s Honeydew (July 15)
• Goomba’s Iced Coffee (July 22)
• Princess Peach Tart (July 29)
• Donkey Kong Banana Cream (August 5)

The new cup design features five Nintendo characters that also have their own character spoons: Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi and Bowser. The first two spoons released belong to Mario (red) and Bowser (yellow). There was a new topping: red, white and blue star shaped candies called Starzmania.

Fans of Nintendo and Yogurtland can also enter a sweepstakes with cool prizes, including the Wii Usystem and one year of free frozen yogurt. Enter at yogurt-land.com. By entering the contest, fans are also eligible for instant giveaways, including unlimited frozen yogurt cups, Wii U and Nintendo 3DS games, as well as shiny new Nintendo 3DS systems that come with one game.

The promotion runs from July 1 – September 8.
