Thoughts on Blood Orange Pinkberry

Fro-yo girl here. I tried Blood Orange Pinkberry last night...and really liked it. I was fearful that it would taste like Original with just a hint of blood orange flavor, but the new flavor has quite a strong blood orange flavor. Juicy and bright, Blood Orange is one of the tarter Pinkberry fro-yo flavors.





For toppings I chose:
* Fresh blood orange segments: the fresh blood orange was sour like grapefruit. The sourness of the fresh blood orange brought out the sweetness of the blood orange fro-yo.
* Marcona almonds: I always get these, they just add a nice crunch and mild flavor
* Fresh raspberries: complements most fruit flavors
* Graham crackers: I like graham crackers but didn't like the flavor or texture (brittle, chalky) they added to this fro-yo combination.

I've always wondered why fro-yo shops have been so slow to add tart citrus flavors to their line-up...but that's gradually changing.

Pinkberry Introduces New Fro-yo Flavor: Blood Orange

Fro-yo girl here. It's new year, new flavor time and the flavor of the moment is Blood Orange. The rollout of Blood Orange Pinkberry began today and continues till Jan. 14th. To accompany the new flavor, Pinkberry also has special toppings: fresh blood orange puree and blood orange slices. They describe the new flavor as follows: "With raspberry and strawberry overtones, Blood Oranges are less acidic than other oranges and make a delicious combination that is citrusy and sweet. Pinkberry's new flavor is bold in flavor, yet still delivers on Pinkberry's light, clean and distinctive taste."

Blood orange facts:
* Blood Oranges are high in antioxidants and have tons of vitamin C.
* Blood Oranges get their red color from high concentrations of a pigment called anthocyanin, a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes the effects of free radicals; free radicals are the agents believed to be responsible for cancer, aging and other health ailments.

Blood Orange Pinkberry is a limited edition flavor, so be sure to try it soon (I know I will. Love the blood orange flavor.)

Yogurtland Blood Orange Tart Fro-yo

Fro-yo girl here. I'm really excited about the new blood orange tart flavor at Yogurtland. Here's a picture of the blood orange tart poster and the flavor sign. They have another sign that encourage you to swirl the Chocolate Twilight and Blood Orange Tart flavors together.



Blood orange tart is quite creamy, on the sweet side, juicy (it's made with blood orange juice) and not that tart/tangy. I thought I detected a bitter note but honestly it could have been leftover from the cough drop I just had. The color is so pretty.

I just noticed that the Yogurtland lids have their logo on them too. They used to have plain lids but at some point they switched over to cuter lids.
