Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland just launched a few new summer offerings. First, Fruit Bowl Fusions are made with fresh fruit. Choose from Street Style (watermelon, mango, pineapple, lime dressing, Tajin, and chamoy) or Bionico (strawberries, blueberries, banana, sweet coconut milk, granola). Yogurtland Pasadena priced these at $6.99 each. Next, they have acai bowls where you choose the base (acai or pitaya) and the style, (1) strawberry banana granola or (2) peanut butter. These were $7.99/each at Yogurtland Pasadena. The fruit bowls and acai bowls aren't self-serve.
Since none of these offerings includes frozen yogurt, I’m not going to try them but I’m curious what others think of the offerings. I've had bionico and it's usually made with crema that's way too sweet, topped with very sweet granola, and doused in honey. I've had mangonadas too and I'm not a fan...prefer my fresh fruit unadorned. Acai and pitaya bases aren't as good as froyo!

Fro-yo girl here. Rawberri is a super healthy new shop that specializes in superfruit bowls. It’s very conscious of food allergies. They carry healthy, organic, dairy free, gluten free and soy free acai bowls, superfruit bowls, Cocowhip, Stumptown coffee, kombucha on tap and energy balls.
Bowls don’t interest me but CocoWhip does. Rawberri was the first in the US to carry CocoWhip, an Australian vegan, biofermented, frozen yogurt made with coconut water, organic bio-fermented coconut powder & vegetable sourced stabilizers. It has no added sugar and is 90 calories a serving.
Flavors of the day (CocoWhip):
* Original: airy, light, creamy, lightly sweetened – the texture was nice but the product had very little flavor, it had no tang at all, the aftertaste was clean though. This was too bland.
* Matcha slim: the texture was denser and icier than the original and it had flavor – it tasted like an icier green tea ice cream – imagine green tea sorbet. I liked how it wasn’t too sweet and it tasted clean/simple. It wasn’t tangy.
Toppings are healthy: fresh fruit, granola, nuts, seeds, goji berries, cacao nibs, agave, honey, vegan caramel, vegan chocolate sauce. The toppings are gluten free and I think soy free, dairy free, etc.
Prices: $5.95 for original w/o toppings, add $1 for 3 toppings; $6.95 for matcha slim w/o toppings, add $1 for 3 toppings
I think almond milk or soy froyo has the best flavor – it’s hard to say which is better because almond and soy milk taste different and both are good in frozen yogurt. On the other hand, coconut water doesn’t have much flavor.
The shop is by several gyms and is the perfect post-gym treat.
