New Froyo Spoons from Fru:yo Factory

Fro-yo girl here. Thanks so much to my wonderful friend Tom K. for the new froyo spoons from Fru:yo Factory. He brought the spoons back from Hong Kong.

I’ve been dreaming about these spoons for awhile because they are adorable. They feature the Fru:yo Factory cartoon elephant head. He’s holding a spoon with his trunk and the spoon has froyo on it of course. It looks like he has froyo on the top of his head too.

If you visit one of their shops, you’ll see the giant elephant statue.

It looks like the spoons are available in purple, pink, blue, white and yellow.

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

Forever Yogurt Robot Froid & Frida Spoons

Fro-yo girl here. It’s Day 2 in Chicago and I’ve collected my favorite souvenirs: collectible froyo spoons. I picked up some Forever Yogurt robot spoons (Froid is the boy robot. Frida, the girl robot, has a bow.). They come in two colors: orange and pink. These were introduced about a month ago. Get yours at Forever Yogurt.

I also picked up the Put Your Best Cup Forward cup design winner and the robot cup.

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

Fro-yo Spoons from NYC

Fro-yo girl here. My fro-yo spoon collection has expanded thanks to my new green and magenta spoons from 16 Handles. The spoons are biodegradable and they say Handle It on the handle. Cute. 

I also saved my glass Chobani cup from the Chobani SoHo boutique.

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

Happy Earth Day 2011

Fro-yo girl here. It's Earth Day 2011 and I wanted to give my "Most Eco-Friendly Fro-yo Shop" award to Culture Organic Frozen Yogurt in Palo Alto, CA. They also won this award last year. I applaud their commitment to the environment, which they've had since day 1.

About Culture:
* Store decor features recycled materials.
* Uses compostable cups and spoons.
* Sells reusable fro-yo cups and give you a discount for using the reusable cup.
* A Greenopia recommended business.
* Their fro-yo AND toppings are organic
* Uses local, seasonal fruit

And today (only) they're giving away a free small fro-yo with 1 topping with the purchase of a reusable fro-yo bowl! You can see mine in the picture, the green monster with tangerine fro-yo.


As for the wall of shame, a fro-yo shop that still uses styrofoam cups, I'm afraid that goes to Yumi Yogurt. Yumi - I still love you because of all the fro-yo you put in my cup.

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

Yogurtland Spoons

Fro-yo girl here. Happy Thanksgiving to all fro-yo fans and fro-yo people! As we prepare to spend the day with friends and family (and hopefully fro-yo will be part of your day), I'm contemplating Yogurtland fro-yo spoons. On a recent trip to Yogurtland, I immediately noticed that the spoon felt different. I took the spoon home to compare it to my other Yogurtland spoons.

The new spoon is darker pink and it feels thinner. The logo is more shallow and the edges aren't as smooth. It has the same biodegradable logo as before. The old spoon had a better feel.

When I attended the 50th anniversary of Sanrio event in Santa Monica, they gave me one of the older spoons.

I have a spoon that's even older with the old Yogurtland logo. I wish I had more of the first generation Yogurtland spoons but I have a couple in pink and in green. Of course I still have my Yogurtland Tokidoki spoons - those are the cutest fro-yo spoons in my collection.

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

Earth Day: Eco-Friendly Fro-yo

Fro-yo girl here. Yes, it's Earth Day 2010 and it seemed like the appropriate time to recognize Bay Area shops that are using compostable cups and/or spoons for fro-yo. I hope that this list is accurate - if I've left any place out, I apologize. Next year I might follow-up with a list of fro-yo shops that still use styrofoam cups (the wall of shame).

The 2010 List of Eco-Friendly Fro-yo in the Bay Area:
* Blush Organic Frozen Yogurt, Burlingame
* Beautifull (all locations)
* Chile Pies
* Cowabunga Creamery
* Culture Organic Frozen Yogurt
* Fraiche
* Green Cup Frozen Yogurt
* The Mix
* Sweet Jo's
* Xanath
* Yogizmo
* Yogurt Harmony
* Yogurtland
* Zuckersuss

And the most eco-friendly award goes to: Culture Organic Frozen Yogurt in Palo Alto. They use compostable cups and spoons and sell reusable fro-yo cups. The store decor features recycled materials. They're also the only all organic fro-yo shop.

Did you know that Blush Organic Frozen Yogurt is in the 2010 Green Zebra coupon book? Get yours today.

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