Future Fro-yo Shop Pictures: Red Mango Downtown Seattle

Fro-yo girl here. Thanks to another tip from @badrobot68, I found another future Red Mango Seattle location. This one is on 1st Avenue, across the street from Pike Place Market. It’s also going to be self-serve. The door wasn’t open.

Future Fro-yo Shop Pictures: Red Mango Rainier Square

Fro-yo girl here. Following up on a tip from @badrobot68, I walked over to 4th and Union and spotted the future Red Mango shop at Rainier Square. The doors were open so I peeked inside and saw that the wall for the fro-yo machines was in place. There’s space for five machines. Also, the signs indicate that this will be a self-serve location with fro-yo and smoothies.

TCBY Grocery Fro-yo Review

Fro-yo girl here. After multiple unsuccessful attempts to find TCBY frozen yogurt at Walmart locations in the Bay Area (Milpitas, Oakland, Union City), I realized that the TCBY Grocery locations tool on the TCBYgrocery.com isn’t accurate. Call your local Walmart first.

Walmart in Oxnard, CA had TCBY popsicles, (Strawberry swirl bars, Orange & vanilla bars, Chocolate fudge bars), Classic vanilla frozen yogurt sandwiches, pints (Supreme cookies & cream, Mint chocolate chunk, English toffee crunch), and quarts (Strawberry swirl, Classic vanilla bean) in stock. The pints were $2.98 and the quarts $3.98. TCBY Grocery frozen yogurt contains 7 types of probiotics.

* ORANGE & VANILLA BARS: The actual bars don’t look like the bars on the box; they don’t have a bright orange shell and a vanilla center. The orange and vanilla flavors are swirled together. It’s a light and creamy popsicle, very sweet without tasting like yogurt. People who like traditional creamsicles will enjoy these bars.

* ENGLISH TOFFEE CRUNCH FRO-YO: I was attracted to the idea of crunchy toffee in vanilla fro-yo. The actual frozen yogurt was extremely sweet with swirls of gooey caramel throughout and little crunchy English toffee.The flavor of caramel is overwhelming. The product tastes like pralines n’ cream ice cream, not frozen yogurt. If you’re looking for a creamy, rich ice cream substitute, you will like it.

Yosicle by Popsicle Torpedo Review

Fro-yo girl here. I’ve been waiting for Popsicle to come out with yogurt pops and they finally have. The yogurt popsicles are part of their Yosicle product line. Yosicle popsicles have 10% yogurt and come in boxes with 12 pops each. The box doesn’t mention live and active cultures but says it’s an excellent source of calcium.

* Torpedo: Three flavors in one popsicle: purple berry, green watermelon and vanilla. They’re torpedo shaped and individually wrapped. The small popsicles have a light, creamy texture which melts quickly. The berry doesn’t taste like any natural berries and suffers from a bitter aftertaste. The watermelon section is a little better. Vanilla is the only flavor that tastes decent. The popsicle didn’t taste like yogurt.
* Layerz: One package come in two flavor combinations: orange with vanilla and cotton candy with vanilla
* Duos: Two flavors per package: purple berry vanilla and cherry vanilla OR watermelon vanilla and cotton candy vanilla

The Yosicle products seem to be meant for kids. Perhaps kids might like it? But adults probably wouldn’t. I do like the riddle on the popsicle stick.

Happy 6th Birthday Yogurtland!

Fro-yo girl here. Just wanted to share my pictures of Yogurtland’s limited time only birthday items: Birthday Cupcake Batter frozen yogurt and Cake Bites topping. You might be able to still find them at your local Yogurtland till the end of this week.

* Birthday Cupcake Batter fro-yo: pale yellow in color, smooth and creamy, not super sweet either, reminded me of cake batter fro-yo only better because it wasn’t so sweet
* Cake bites topping: Tiny firm cubes of yellow cake with colorful sprinkles

I added Yogurtland sprinkles in honor of Yogurtland’s sixth birthday celebration. Happy birthday Yogurtland!
