Yogurtland PremiYUM Rewards Day, June 9

Fro-yo girl here. A few days ago, Yogurtland sent out a save the date, June 9, announcement on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. Details were scant but Yogurtland promised something big for Real Reward members.

The details are in. Real Reward members get a special customer appreciation reward, free froyo on Tuesday, June 9, aka PremiYUM Rewards Day. The reward will be sent to the accounts of Real Reward members. The number of ounces was not specified in the Yogurtland email, but it will probably depend on your reward level. 

Joining Real Rewards is free and anyone who joins by June 8 will receive the reward. You can join at any Yogurtland location, on the Yogurtland website, or by downloading the Real Rewards app from the Google Play or App Store. Don’t forget to register by June 8! 

Update: PremiYUM Rewards Day has been moved to June 23.

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

New at Yogurtland: The Outdoor Adventure Begins

Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland's Ultimate Summer promotion continues with Outdoor Adventure-inspired flavors and new collectible shimmery hunter green spoons. Think good times in the forest: picking wild berries, sitting around a campfire making s’mores and the scent of the forest.

* S’mores frozen yogurt “combines toasted marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers.” It’s a mellow, creamy flavor that tastes like milk chocolate marshmallows. I didn’t taste the graham crackers but you can always add graham cracker crumbs or the new S’mores Mix, featuring Teddy Grahams and mini chocolate covered marshmallows. Other suggested toppings: creamy cheesecake, cookie dough, chocolate sauce

* Wild berry tart “blends raspberries, blackberries and blueberries.” I love a good fruity tart froyo and this one delivers plenty of berry flavor. I could taste the blackberries and raspberries more than the blueberries. It’s tangy with a sweet finish. The yogurt was firm and not icy, but more refreshing than the non-tart flavors. It reminded me of berry sherbet. Suggested toppings: berries, graham cracker crust, mochi

These flavors are available for a limited time only so try them before it’s too late.

Remember to collect your Hot Spot icons with your Real Rewards app. Earn free froyo with every 3rd visit during the Ultimate Summer promotion.

Look for 2 new flavors and a new spoon on September 1.

New Tropical Getaway Flavors & Blue Spoon Arrive at Yogurtland

Fro-yo girl here. Fro-yo fans, are you ready for a Tropical Getaway? Yogurtland has two new flavors for you, flavors that “taste like the perfect beach day.” The limited edition, new shimmery deep blue spoon was inspired by the ocean.

* Lava Flow Frozen Yogurt “blends real pineapple, coconut water and strawberries for a smooth, sweet summer treat.” I’ve never had lava flow so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The flavor is sweet (I thought the pineapple would make it tangier) and while not icy, wasn’t as creamy as some of their other flavors. I tasted the sweet strawberry first, then coconut water, then pineapple. I tasted more coconut than I anticipated.

* Mojito Sorbet “combines real lime with a hint of mint for a light refreshing take on this tropical classic.” This flavor was sweeter than I expected though it had some tang. Hint of mint is an accurate description as you mainly taste the lime.

Remember to collect your Hot Spot icons with your Real Rewards app. Earn free froyo with every 3rd visit during the Ultimate Summer promotion.

Look for 2 new flavors and a new spoon when the Spa Retreat begins on August 4.

Yogurtland Flavor Quest Continues with New Flavors: Black Currant Berry Tart and Flan

Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland’s Flavor Quest takes you to two new flavor destinations this week: France Black Currant Berry Tart (March 31 - April 27) and Spain Flan (March 31 - April 27)

Since I love tart froyo and blackcurrants (blackcurrant candy and drinks), I was most looking forward to Black Currant Berry Tart but I wound up really loving both new flavors. It’s the best batch of new Flavor Quest flavors thus far.

* Flan: rich, creamy and with an intense caramelized sugar taste, even better than the earlier Creme Brulee flavor perhaps due to the addition of sweetened condensed milk

* Black Currant Berry Tart: creamy but not heavy, combines different berry flavors (blackcurrant, raspberries, blackberries) but the black currant flavor is the strongest. It’s so hard to find black currant flavor here so I’m thrilled. It’s pretty tart/tangy. It’s like cranberry mixed with grape but brighter.

There were no new toppings today. Don’t forget to get your passport stamped. If you’ve been going every week since the Flavor Quest started, you’ll earn your fifth stamp and 5 ounces free. You’re also entered to win prizes like a Puerto Rican adventure.

Next up: Dubai Vanilla Date Shake (April 14 - May 11) and Puerto Rico Guava Sorbet (April 14 - May 11).

Yogurtland Flavor Quest New Flavors: Orange Citrus Sorbet & Geneva Chocolate

Fro-yo girl here. The Yogurtland Flavor Quest takes you to two new flavor locales this week: Florida and Geneva, Switzerland. Both flavors are available while supplies last.

* Geneva Chocolate: “Inspired by the master chocolatiers of Switzerland, this flavor combines real cocoa and a hint of a delicate, light milk chocolate flavor wroth of its renowned namesake.” I’m not a chocolate froyo fan but I liked this flavor because it was so light and smooth, like Swiss milk chocolate.

* Orange Citrus Sorbet: “A flavor as bright as the Sunshine state itself, this flavor combines real Mandarin oranges, tangerines and clementines for a light, refreshing vitamin C-packed way to beat the heat.” I’m not a huge fan of sorbets because they tend to be pretty icy but this one wasn’t. It’s sweet and juicy - the flavor is more interesting and complex than straight orange 

A new topping also arrived: chocolate covered almonds. They’re not the smooth ones I’m used to seeing.

Remember to pull out your Real Rewards app and collect stamps on your froyo passport. One visit equals one stamp and an entry for a chance to win a trip to Puerto Rico, a year of free froyo and Yogurtland gift cards. Limit one stamp and one sweepstakes entry per day. Five stamps earns you 5 free ounces and 10 stamps earns you 10 free ounces. 

Two new froyo flavors come out on March 31: France Blackcurrant Berry Tart and Spain Flan.

Yogurtland Flavor Quest Continues with New Flavors

Fro-yo girl here. My Monday visits to Yogurtland have become routine because that’s the day the new froyo flavors come out. Today, there were FOUR new flavors for the launch of the 2nd Annual Flavor Quest. The flavor quest promotion runs from March 3 through May 11.

• Canada Maple Cookie: A blend of real Canadian maple and real cookies. This was sweet, creamy and indulgent. The maple flavor was there but subtle. I didn’t notice a cookie flavor.
• Peru Passion Fruit Sorbet: I must not like passion fruit that much because this was my least favorite flavor, the flavor reminded me of pineapple because it’s sweet yet tangy
• Thailand Coconut Mango Tart: An interesting flavor...the mango flavor is the strongest, it’s sweet and only slightly tart
• Australia Macadamia Nut Toffee: The best new flavor with roasted Australian macadamia nuts, tastes like a mild caramel and the texture was smooth and creamy

I spotted a new topping: Praline Macadamia Nuts. They’re really good, not as hard as the praline pecans topping. You have to get these with the Macadamia Nut Toffee froyo.

Remember to collect stamps on your froyo passport (you need to have the Yogurtland Real Rewards app). One visit equals one stamp and an entry for a chance to win a trip to Puerto Rico, a year of free froyo and Yogurtland gift cards. Limit one stamp and one sweepstakes entry per day. Five stamps earns you 5 free ounces and 10 stamps earns you 10 free ounces.

Look for six new froyo flavors and three new toppings. Two new froyo flavors come out on March 17: Orange Citrus Sorbet and Geneva Chocolate.
