Fro-yo girl here. It’s time for the seventh edition of my annual wish list. Last year I wished for:
* Froyo pie or cake. Mr. Froyo made a froyo pie for me.
* Yolato frozen yogurt gelato bars in CA. I don’t think this happened (sad face). The Yolato bars are the best.
* Froyo made out of Icelandic yogurt (skyr). This does exist (e.g., in Denmark you can go to a supermarket and get a tub of Cheasy frozen skyr) but I certainly haven’t seen it in California.
* Froyo spoons. I did get plenty of new ones including some from Seattle, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Greece.
Some of my wishes from 2013 and earlier haven’t come true either. I’m still waiting to be served by a robot/frozen yogurt vending machine. On the other hand, I had wishes come true that I hadn’t even thought of, like visiting Yogurtland HQ, judging frozen yogurt at the NRA Show and attending the Critics Choice TV Awards (free froyo included).
Here’s my froyo wish list for 2015:
* Yogorino (or something similar to Yogorino) come back…Mr. Froyo misses you.
* More froyo HQ visits
* Making frozen yogurt the official state food of California
* A Food Network show dedicated to frozen yogurt or a froyo truck on the Great Food Truck Race

Fro-yo girl here. Happy Earth Week! In honor of Earth Week, here’s profile of an eco-friendly frozen yogurt chain that I visited recently: NuYo Frozen Yogurt.
NuYo looks eco-friendly even before you walk into the shop. The logo is green and with leaves and there are leaf decals on the windows. The Roseville shop interior has an appealing eco-inspired design with wood floors and shades of white, blue and green.
NuYo has adopted many eco-friendly business practices, including using napkins made out of 100% recycled materials, compostable cups and spoons, recycling, energy efficient light bulbs, energy efficient frozen yogurt machines, non-toxic cleaning supplies. They also strive to purchase locally grown seasonal fruits.
For 42 cents an ounce you can fill up your cup with any mix of frozen yogurt, shaved ice and toppings. They had 14 self-serve proprietary frozen yogurt flavors with live and active cultures to choose from and a toppings bar with bins filled to the brim with nuts, fresh fruit, cheesecake bits, cookies (even regular size whole chocolate chip cookies), cereal, graham cracker crumbs, candy, mochi, cookie dough, brownies, chocolate chips, popping boba and jellies. You can also opt for a waffle bowl and add various syrups and sauces like hot fudge and peanut butter.
They offer a good blend of tart and sweet flavors, including no sugar added froyo. The flavors included classic flavors like vanilla and chocolate, along with fruity flavors and indulgent flavors (peanut butter, cake batter). I tried several tart frozen yogurt flavors. All of them were very good. The frozen yogurt was very flavorful, smooth, creamy with a refreshing edge, though the actual fruit flavors (Asian pear, strawberry) were on the subtle side.
NuYo also has froyo pies and Yoghund, frozen yogurt for dogs. Sign up for the reward card and earn your way to free froyo. The shop in Roseville is one of five locations.
* NUYO FROZEN YOGURT: 9213 Sierra College Blvd., Ste. 100, Roseville, CA 95661
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Fro-yo girl here. It’s the new year and time to share my wish list for 2014. These are the things I hope to experience in 2014.
- Froyo pie or cake. I want one! It seems like you can’t get just one slice unfortunately.
- Expanded distribution for Yolato frozen yogurt gelato bars. My fingers are crossed that I’ll see them in California
- Froyo made out of Icelandic yogurt (aka skyr). I love skyr (Siggi’s and Smari)...would love to see it used to make froyo.
- Froyo spoons. I can never get enough of cute froyo spoons.
Last year my wish list was:
- Collect more new froyo spoons (accomplished)
- Try Yolato frozen yogurt gelato bars and Pinkberry Greek (accomplished)
- Be served by Frobot rather than a human being (didn't happen)
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
