Yolato Frozen Yogurt Gelato Bar Review





Fro-yo girl here. I was recently lucky enough to be the recipient of Yolato frozen yogurt gelato bars. The bars are all natural, rbst free, cholesterol free, kosher and only 80 calories each. Each box contains four 61g bars. The frozen yogurt gelato bars are available in three flavors: Pomegranate, Naturalato, Blueberrato. I ate three and that’s still fewer calories than a typical cup of frozen yogurt.

* Naturalato: The bar has a soft, light texture (but maintains its shape). It’s creamy yet has that refreshing edge of a good frozen yogurt. It’s sweet but mildly tangy with a pleasant, sweet, clean aftertaste. It’s very light thanks to the gelato and melts in your mouth quickly. 





* Blueberrato: It’s a pretty bar with white and purple swirls. Blueberrato combines frozen yogurt gelato and blueberry acai sorbet. The texture is soft and light like the Naturalato. It’s sweeter than the Naturalato but still has that mild tanginess. The blueberry flavor is discernable but not so strong that you can’t appreciate the yogurt flavor and the naturalato flavor. 

* Pomegranate: The award-winning Pomegranato is my favorite of the three because it was the tangiest and also seemed the creamiest. It had that same light, soft, melt in your mouth texture with white and reddish pink swirls (pomegranate sorbet). The sweetness and yogurt tang linger on your palate.

Having tried a variety of frozen yogurt bars, I’ve found that some are really icy and hard, some don’t taste like yogurt, and others might be healthy are lacking in flavor. Yolato provides a wonderful tasting bar that has the tanginess and flavor of frozen yogurt with a soft, light, silky texture. It's genius to combine frozen yogurt, gelato and sorbet in one bar.

Ingredients (Naturalato): Skim milk and milk, sugar, corn syrup, cultured skim milk, maltodextrin, stabilizer/emulsifier, citric acid, natural flavors, vitamin A palmitate, yogurt cultures

5 out of 5 stars

Gelato vs. Fro-yo, Score One Gelato: Bar Gelato by Naia


Fro-yo girl here. I read about Bar Gelato (gelato popsicles) by Naia recently and was intrigued by their popsicle form and convenience (available at Whole Foods in Northern California). When comparing fro-yo to gelato, my main issues with scoopable gelato are (1) I don't like that sticky, soft texture and (2) it's expensive but not better than top quality fro-yo (or ice cream).

Bar Gelato ($1.99 each, sold individually) far exceeded my expectations. It's not sticky but it's firm and icier than ice cream but not as icy as fruit juice popsicles (Bar Gelato has milk). The price is right, the size is perfect (about 140 calories) and the flavors are phenomenal.


Bar Gelato features artisanal gelato made from local ingredients, like Numi Tea, Blue Bottle Coffee, St. George Single Malt, and TCHO chocolate. It's currently available in 9 flavors. Yogurt isn't one of the flavors though Naia does have a yogurt gelato.

My current favorite is Numi Jasmine which tastes like milk tea. You can really taste the tea and the milk. The best seller appeared to be Blue Bottle Coffee (they were almost all out of that flavor).

Now I know why the checker said all the Whole Foods employees are obsessed with Bar Gelato. These are perfect summer treats.
