Fro-yo girl here. It’s November, so winter froyo flavors are on the way. Yogurtland launched the new flavor, Peppermint Mocha frozen yogurt, on November 3. Peppermint Mocha froyo is described as, “a festive swirl of cool peppermint and rich mocha [that] creates a refreshing, creamy frozen yogurt.” The flavor is nonfat, gluten-free, and made with real cocoa and coffee.
Peppermint Mocha froyo: I was a bit hesitant to try the flavor (I wasn’t in the mood for a strong mint flavor), but I really liked it. The mocha (coffee) flavor was more dominant than the peppermint. Also, the coffee flavor was mellow and smooth, not bitter or harsh. The texture was creamy and smooth. Recommended toppings: whipped cream, gingerbread men, and chocolate chips.
I spotted a holiday topping, mini gingerbread men cookies. The cookies are thick and crunchy with a bit of gingerbread spice.
The new holiday cups feature a green background with holiday images: gingerbread men, candy canes, peppermint candies, and sprinkles. And the new complimentary holiday sticker sheets have a similar look (the same color, a few of the same images that are on the cup). The sticker sheet comes with ten stickers, including a red Yogurtland spoon, a cup of froyo, a gift, an ornament, holiday cookies, a candy cane, and a round peppermint candy.
There are red holiday candy cane spoons, too.

Fro-yo girl here. It’s that magical time of year when I hunt for signs of Halloween spirit in my neighborhood and at froyo shops across the globe. I’m always delighted to see how widely Halloween is embraced, from cobweb-covered counters to creepy-cute toppings in countries near and far.
Each year, I award the Halloween Froyo Shop Spirit Award to a shop that goes all out—whether through festive décor, limited-edition flavors, costume parties, themed events, or hauntingly fun toppings.
This year’s standout was unmistakable, showing unmatched Halloween spirit. It’s the first win for Llaollao, Europe and Asia’s largest froyo brand. At Llaollao Philippines and Malaysia, the Minions-themed Halloween promotion includes Minions Monster froyo creations served in Minions Monster cups. The Minions Monster Mix Bundle comes with a Minions Monster blind box Halloween keychain. Some of the keychains glow in the dark.

Fro-yo girl here. Yoga-urt debuted a new flavor, Earl Grey, in Santa Monica during the fourth anniversary celebration on October 25. It’s made with organic Earl Grey tea and a touch of vanilla. Like all Yoga-urt soft serve, it’s hand-crafted, organic, vegan, kosher, soy-free, and probiotic.
I’ve always loved Earl Grey tea and tea-flavored froyo. The froyo definitely had a strong floral Earl Grey flavor. It was sweet and clean-tasting. For some reason the texture wasn’t as thick as usual, and it seemed icier than other Yoga-urt flavors. Maybe it was because of the machine?
I would definitely want to try it again to see if the texture changes.
Recommended toppings: housemade cake, mochi

Fro-yo girl here. I found Allbarm freeze-dried yogurt cubes at Zion Market. One pouch is 0.58 oz. The pouch is resealable. The snack is imported from Korea and made with a few ingredients, including local fruit and live lactic acid bacteria. The pouch was $2.99 regular price and 2 for $0.99 on sale.
Strawberry Cubes: These cubes were smaller than the other ones I’ve had. The fruit and yogurt and blended together. The texture is crunchy, but the cubes melt in your mouth. The flavor was tangy and fruity. I liked how it wasn’t that sweet. It was more tangy than sweet. I could definitely taste the strawberries, but the yogurt added some creaminess.
One serving (one pouch) is 63 calories, 0g total fat, 14g total carbs, 10g total sugars
Available flavors: plain, peach, strawberry, blueberry
I first covered the freeze-dried yogurt cubes trend in 2022. The cubes were already popular all over Asia, particularly in China.
It’s a good snack but expensive compared to a cup of yogurt. However, it’s portable and shelf-stable.

Fro-yo girl here. Today was Fan Appreciation Day at Yogurtland. Everyone enjoyed a buy one, get one free offer on froyo and Real Reward members received the extra perk of double points.
It was packed at Yogurtland Eagle Rock tonight. Luckily, they had Doc’s churro bites and Great Scott! Caramel Apple Pie froyo. I also picked up some more Back to the Future Yogurtland stickers.
I love the idea of a fan/customer appreciation day. It makes me appreciate Yogurtland. Thanks Yogurtland!

Fro-yo girl here. Yasso just launched Spoonables, aka spoonable frozen Greek yogurt tubs. The Spoonables line is available exclusively at Target and will roll out nationwide in 2026. At Target in Pasadena, Yasso tubs were $5.89 each, regular price.
Each Yasso tub has up to 18g of protein and 410 calories. One container is 14 fl oz (smaller than a true pint). It’s lowfat and gluten-free. There is no mention of live and active cultures or probiotics.
Coffee Chocolate Chip: The coffee flavor is strong, but tastes like a bitter instant coffee. It doesn’t taste like good coffee. Also, it doesn’t have any yogurt flavor. But Coffee Chocolate Chip does remind me of coffee ice cream without being as rich and heavy. Yasso was still creamy and spoonable. The best part was the addition of the small chocolatey flakes. One container is 400 calories. One 2/3 cup serving is 150 calories, 3g fat, 19g sugars, and 7g protein.
Available Spoonable flavors: Fudge Brownie, Coffee Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Mint Chocolate Chip, Cookies ‘n Cream. The Spoonable flavors are also available as Yasso bars.
For best results, thaw for five minutes before serving. If you don’t love it, you can get a refund
Yasso first introduced pints in 2018, available in eight flavors. Back then, the tub was actually 16 fl oz, a real pint.
4 out of 5 stars.

Fro-yo girl here. Tutti Frutti Montebello quietly closed during the pandemic. Then in September 2023, Froyology took over the space. The décor and the machines were the same, but the Tutti Frutti signs had been removed.
Well, Tutti Frutti is back, and the Froyology signs have been removed. The interior still looks the same. They added fresh juices and acai bowls. Twelve froyo flavors were available. Froyo and toppings are $0.97/oz, cheaper than Froyology and Yogurtland at The Shops at Montebello.
It seems like the change occurred around July 2024.
If you blinked, you might have noticed that Froyology existed for a few months. FYI, Yogurtland Montebello is now charging $1.13/oz. Ouch.
