Favorite Froyo Flavor of 2014

Fro-yo girl here. I’ve eaten a lot of froyo this year, about 140 cups and I’ve tried my share of new froyo flavors.

My favorite new flavors this year:

• Menchie’s Just the Cookie 
• Menchie’s Zesty Lemon Meringue 
• Pinkberry’s Mint Chocolate Cookie
• Yogurtland’s Black Currant Berry Tart
• Yogurtland’s Cookie Butter 
• Yogurtland’s Flan

It looks like I really like cookie flavors, that is, froyo with bits of cookie in it. I do love tart flavors but there weren’t as many new tart flavors introduced this year.

My very favorite new froyo flavor of 2014 is…Flan by Yogurtland. Flan was part of the Second Annual Flavor Quest, representing Spain, and I described it as “rich, creamy and with an intense caramelized sugar taste, even better than the earlier Creme Brulee flavor (from Yogurtland) perhaps due to the addition of sweetened condensed milk.”

I’m really hoping it comes back as part of the Fan Choice Awards! Fingers crossed.

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

Yogurtland Flavor Quest Continues with Dubai Vanilla Date Shake & Puerto Rico Guava Sorbet

Fro-yo girl here. Today two new exotic Flavor Quest flavors arrived at Yogurtland: Dubai Vanilla Date Shake (April 14 - May 11) and Puerto Rico Guava Sorbet (April 14 - May 11). These are the last new 2nd Annual Yogurtland Flavor Quest froyo flavors. Yes the Flavor Quest is coming to an end, sadly. The new flavors are available while supplies last.

I don’t like dates or guava but I do like trying new flavors even if I don’t think that I’ll like them.

* Dubai Vanilla Date Shake features Medjool dates, Madagascar bourbon vanilla and molasses. The date flavor isn’t overwhelming and it tastes more like dates than vanilla. I think the specks I saw were from the dates. It’s pleasant, creamy and sweet - with a warm, exotic flavor.

* Puerto Rico Guava Sorbet: This was one of their creamier and sweeter sorbets. The guava flavor is prominent. I was surprised by its sweetness.

There was a new topping this week: colorful gummi butterflies.

Keep collecting stamps on your passport till May 11th. Each stamp gives you a chance to earn prizes including the Puerto Rican adventure. Collect 10 stamps during the Flavor Quest and earn 10 free ounces on your 10th visit.

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).

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

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.

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.
