Yogurtland Sanrio Secret Tote Bag

Fro-yo girl here. I'm sitting here admiring my new secret, limited edition Yogurtland Sanrio tote bag. The tote bag was given away at the Yogurtland Sanrio launch party at the Beverly Center. I didn't make it to the launch so I'm extra grateful to have this tote bag. It's too cute to use.

The tote bag is a heavy canvas. The back side is plain.

These tote bags aren't for sale but Yogurtland gave some away recently and maybe they'll do so again? (check their Facebook page)

Remember to enter the Yogurtland Sanrio Friends Forever sweepstakes.

Yogurtland, thank you!!!!!

Julie's Organic Strawberry Lowfat Frozen Yogurt Bar Review

Fro-yo girl here. I scan the frozen food section for fro-yo on every grocery shopping trip. Canyon Market recently started carrying Julie's Organic Strawberry Lowfat Frozen Yogurt Bars ($3.99 for a box of 4 popsicles). One popsicle is 100 calories, 2.5 fl. oz., "provides a good source of prebiotic fiber and also boasts six active probiotic yogurt cultures which can enhance digestion and improve the immune system."

The strawberry popsicle is soft, smooth and creamy, with visible strawberry seeds. It's like ice cream on a stick. It was extremely sweet with a somewhat bitter aftertaste and not much strawberry or yogurt flavor.

Julie's Organic Lowfat Frozen Yogurt Bars are available in 1 flavor, strawberry.

Future Fro-yo Shop Picture: Yoppi Yogurt Belmont

Fro-yo girl here. Yoppi Yogurt, which just opened in Palo Alto, this week, has a few more new locations in the works, including Belmont's Carlmont Village Shopping Center. It's a large space (formerly occupied by Jamba Juice). The windows were papered over so I couldn't see anything inside but the sign says fro-yo and gelato.

They're looking for fro-yo associates...send resume and cover letter to belmont@yoppiyogurt.com if interested.

Favorite Yogurt Brand Poll Results

Fro-yo girl here. I asked readers to vote for their favorite brand of Greek yogurt and the results are in. Fage won easily, with 46% of the vote. Chobani was a distant second, with 20% of the vote. Fage is the brand I think of first when I think of Greek yogurt and it's actually a Greek company. In 2008, they started manufacturing their yogurt in New York.

Earlier this year they expanded their product lineup Fage Total 0% flavors. Flavors: blueberry-acai, cherry-pomegranate, mango-guanabana, strawberry-goji and honey. I've seen Fage Total 0% flavors at Target and Whole Foods.


* Cherry-pomegranate Fage yogurt ($1.99 at Whole Foods): The cherry pomegranate is in a separate compartment and looks like a thick syrup with pieces of cherry. The yogurt is unsweetened, creamy, and sour. The cherry pomegranate mixture is very sweet and when I mixed it with the yogurt, it was more sour than it was tangy. I didn't like having to keep stirring it in and having uneven flavor. Find a coupon for Total 0% on the Fage website.

4 out of 5 stars.

Yogurtland Sanrio Promotion Begins!

Fro-yo girl here. I've been thinking about Yogurtland Sanrio ever since I learned about their co-branded promotion and today the promotion finally began! I visited Yogurtland San Ramon today to admire their Sanrio merchandise.

Four Sanrio characters are shown enjoying YL fro-yo: Hello Kitty, Chococat, Keroppi and My Melody. I think Keroppi's favorite fro-yo is plain tart (I would have thought it would be pistachio or green tea) and Hello Kitty's favorite is fresh strawberry. Chococat's favorite is Dutch chocolate. My Melody's favorite is red velvet cupcake batter.








Yogurtland had YL/Sanrio cups, character spoons (red Hello Kitty, blue Chococat), signs and merchandise. One spoon per purchase.


I just entered their Friends Forever summer sweepstakes (enter online on the Yogurtland website).

* Grand prize: $1000 shopping spree on Sanrio.com
* 2nd prize: 1 year of free yogurt & gift cards
* 3rd prize: Hello Kitty beach cruiser & gift cards
* 4th prize: HK/YL themed gift cards for you and your 10 friends

The Sanrio/YL promotion only lasts for 6 weeks so get your spoons NOW. I feel bad for the characters that weren't used, like Bad Badtz, Kuromi, Little Twin Stars, etc. If they ever have Baby Milo Yogurtland items, I think I wouldn't be able to handle the excitement. His favorite fro-yo would be banana.
