Fro-yo girl here. I found ‘ndulge Greek Yogurt Bars during a recent trip to Sprouts. The line of Greek yogurt bars is new to Sprouts. Each box has three full-size (3 fl oz) bars. A box is $9.99, regular price.
The bars are individually wrapped. Each bar has 10g of protein and is 160 calories or less. The bars are made with milk and cream and have live and active probiotic cultures.
Vanilla Almond bar: The milk chocolate coating wasn’t as crispy as usual. It was softer and fudgier. It mostly tasted like milk chocolate because the vanilla yogurt interior had little flavor. It did not taste like yogurt. I didn’t like the texture of the chocolate coating or the taste. It had a lingering sweetness from the use of monk fruit extract. If you look at the picture on the box, it has a lot more almond pieces than the actual bar. One bar is 160 calories, 11g total fat, 8g total carbs, 3g total sugars, and 10g protein.
The box says that you should let the product thaw for 5 minutes before enjoying. I didn’t read that suggestion till after I ate the bar.
Available flavors: Salted Caramel Almond, Chocolate Caramel Cookie, Vanilla Almond, Mint Chip, Chocolate Fudge Chip
2.5 out of 5 stars.

Fro-yo girl here. A fro-yo beauty product has gone viral! L.A. Colors Fro-Yo Lips is a line of colored and scented moisturizing lip balms sold at Dollar Tree for $1.25 each. The balm looks like a cup of froyo. Reviews have been positive. Some Dollar Tree locations are already out of stock, and the balms are being sold by eBay resellers.
Creamsicle: This smelled like a sweet orange creamsicle or Sunny Delight type of orange drink. The balm was peach colored. It did make my lips feel softer but didn’t color my lips. The clear cap locks in place, so it should be good for carrying around. The balm does not twist up – so you only get a small amount.
Available scents: cotton candy, creamsicle, chocolate, mint, strawberry, vanilla, coconut, watermelon
It looks like you can check the Dollar Tree website to see if the lip balms are in stock at a particular store, but I’m not sure how accurate the website is. It also doesn’t let you search by scent.

Fro-yo girl here. Salt & Straw’s new Concord Grape Nut Crumble frozen yogurt is part of the new Cereal-sly Delicious series for March. This marks the third new froyo flavor they’ve introduced this year (that’s one a month).
Salt & Straw describes Concord Grape Nut Crumble as, “Straight out of New England, we kick things off with Concord grape juice frozen yogurt. Churned with a little salt, cinnamon, and vanilla to amp up those roasty-toasty cereal notes, we fold in streaks of Grape Nut pudding (think creamy baked cereal meets cookie butter) for a rich and custardy swirl. Finally, a textured, nutty bite of housemade Grape Nut crumble, made with buttery toasted pecans, enters the mix. It’s all the crunchy, malty goodness you know and love—just a little easier on the teeth.”
Concord Grape Nut Crumble: Grape Grape Nuts froyo sounded interesting. The light purple color certainly was pretty. The froyo is packed with texture from the Grape Nuts and is thick and creamy. The Grape Nuts softened but still have some crunch. There is some tang as well, coming from either the yogurt or the grape juice, or both. It wasn’t sour. It didn’t taste like grape juice, so the grape juice seems to be mostly for the visual effect (or the tangy sweetness). I couldn’t even smell the grapes. Since I like Grape Nuts, I still enjoyed the scoop, but it needs more yogurt and grape flavor.
The Cereal-sly Delicious flavors are:
- Pots of Gold and Rainbows
- Snap N' Crackle Marshmallow Treats
- Peanut Butter Brownie Cereal Puffs
- Concord Grape Nut Crumble
- Captain's Berried Treasure (v)
And they’re available for a limited time in March, while supplies last.

Fro-yo girl here. Menchie’s just introduced the first new spoon of the year, a pink Sprinkle spoon. Sprinkle is holding a cup of Menchie’s froyo with extra sprinkles. You can even see Menchie’s head on the cup. The spoon says swirl.smile.repeat. The back of the spoon features the back of Sprinkle. These are nice big spoons. Get them before they run out.
Menchie’s featured flavors for March are Vegan Mint Chocolate Chip made with Almond Milk and the new HI-CHEW Grapefruit froyo.
HI-CHEW Grapefruit is a new froyo flavor inspired by HI-CHEW Grapefruit candy. It did taste like grapefruit but sweet like candy. Something about it tasted medicinal though. The texture was very icy, like a sorbet. The nonfat flavor is made with no artificial colors and no high fructose corn syrup. You can find HI-CHEW Grapefruit in the HI-CHEW Sweet & Sour Mix.
Vegan Mint Chocolate Chip made with Almond Milk is back for March. It’s made with no artificial flavors, artificial colors, and no high fructose corn syrup. It was creamy and thick. The mint flavor wasn’t strong.
These flavors will be available in March, while supplies last.

Fro-yo girl here. Barranco’s Fruit (IG @barrancosfruit) is a new vendor at Smorgasburg LA. The sign says it’s LA’s first Oaxacan-inspired yogurt pop-up. They make the yogurt from a family recipe and then add fruit and nuts to create a yogurt parfait. The yogurt tubs are $6 each and contain fruit and/or nuts and wheat. The yogurt is made with pasteurized whole milk, I believe. They only use natural ingredients.
Available flavors: pineapple coconut, blueberry strawberry, pecan, mixed, passion fruit, mango, strawberry, pecan-almond, apple, peach.
Strawberry yogurt: The yogurt with diced fresh strawberries was thick and creamy, though not as thick as skyr. I’m not sure if it is strained. I appreciated that the yogurt wasn’t sweetened. It’s naturally sweet. The strawberries weren’t sweet.
The yogurt comes with a cup of honey and a cup of crunchy toppings (pecans, puffed amaranth, puffed wheat). You can sweeten it to your liking. It's more yogurt-forward than bionico.
The yogurt parfait was a nice treat. It’s something that I could easily replicate at home though. They do make the yogurt, so that’s a plus.
Barranco’s Fruit has pop-ups at farmers markets, Smorgasburg, night markets, and swap meets.

Fro-yo girl here. During our visit to NYC, we also walked by the future Mimi’s in Greenwich Village. Located at 84 University Pl, it’s near NYU. The shop opened on March 2. Greenwich/West Village seems to be the place to be for froyo.
Go Greek, which first opened in Beverly Hills, CA, is also coming to NYC soon. The new storefront will be at Great Jones St. & Broadway in NOHO. Mythos Greek Frozen Yogurt also has plans to open in NYC and Myka has signs up at 159 7th Ave South near Waverly Pl.
