Pocky Crushed Fruits Yoghurt Line Review

 

Fro-yo girl here. I found yogurt-flavored Pocky at World Market. Glico Thailand has a line of crushed fruits yoghurt Pocky flavors. The cookie stick is whole wheat and it’s dipped in a fruity yoghurt cream and covered in real bits of fruit.

One box is 38g and priced at $3.99. The box contains one sealed pouch with 14 Pocky sticks. One box is 190 calories.

Blueberry Yoghurt flavor: Be sure to smell these Pocky. They smell like a sweet blueberry perfume. They also taste really great, with little bursts of blueberry flavor coming from the dried blueberry flakes, a tangy yogurt coating, and a crunchy stick. The stick isn’t sweet. The coating is sweet but the tanginess helps offset the sweetness.

Available flavors:

• Blueberry Yoghurt
• Strawberry & Peach Yoghurt
• Passion Fruit Yoghurt

I’d like to try all the flavors.

Yogurtland x Toy Story 5 Promotion

Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland’s summer promotion is a big one. The collaboration with Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5 features limited-time froyo flavors, collectible merchandise, new cups, new stickers, and new spoons.

The new froyo flavors:

No Sugar Added Space Ranger Berry Blast froyo is “a cosmic, blueberry blend inspired by Buzz Lightyear.” It’s made with real blueberries and no artificial colors. However, it does contain artificial flavors. While no sugar is added, aspartame is used to sweeten the yogurt. The froyo was thick, smooth, and creamy. I could taste the blueberries though they were muted by the yogurt flavor. It was sweet with no tang but less sweet than usual. There was something a bit artificial about the flavor though. Recommended toppings: blueberries, fruity gummies, and mochi.

No Sugar Added Cowboy Campfire S’mores froyo is “a nostalgic campfire-style flavor inspired by Woody and Jessie.” It is made with artificial flavors and sweetened with aspartame. It tasted less artificial than the Space Ranger Berry Blast, with pleasant mild chocolate and marshmallow notes. It was thick, creamy, and smooth. Recommended toppings: graham crackers, chocolate chips, almonds.

In celebration of Disney and Pixar's Toy Story 5, enjoy our new frozen yogurt blend of toasted marshmallow and smooth chocolate with subtle graham cracker notes!

When you swirl the two flavors together, you get Beyond Blueberry S’mores Swirl, inspired by Woody, Jessie, and Buzz Lightyear.

The exclusive online-only creation, the Galactic Berry Blast, features No Sugar Added

No Sugar Added Space Ranger Berry Blast frozen yogurt, Blueberries and Beyond (fresh blueberry topping), and Playtime Strawberries (fresh strawberry topping).

I also spotted new Toy Story 5 cups with Buzz, Jessie, Woodie, Forky the spork, and Lilypad. And the Yogurtland Toy Story 5 sticker sheets (free) feature those five characters, Yogurtland spoon, and Yogurtland froyo cups.

And there’s more, including three collectible spoons (featuring Woody, Buzz, and Jessie), a Toy Story 5 keychain giveaway on June 16, June 30, and July 14. And you can find exclusive digital content at yogurtland.com/toystory5.

Salt & Straw’s Starling Sweet Potato Buckwheat Crumble

Fro-yo girl here. This month, Salt & Straw’s The Chef Series features ice cream flavors created with chefs.

The flavors are:

• Cheesecake with Salted Yuzu Curd
• Hong Kong Milk Tea with Toasted White Chocolate
• Chocolate Caramel Smoked Budino
• Starling Sweet Potato Buckwheat Crumble
• Caramelized Plantain with Spicy Pecan Crumble (v)

One of these flavors contains the word yogurt in the description.

Starling Sweet Potato Buckwheat Crumble: “From Dan Barber, iconic chef of Blue Hill at Stone Barns and co-founder of Row 7, this flavor celebrates the Starling purple sweet potato, a new Row 7 variety developed for exceptional flavor. This stunningly purple potato is steamed and whipped with sweet cream, sake lees (the slightly boozy, super flavorful byproduct of sake), and yogurty shio koji (a richly creamy rice sauce) into an earthy, almost ube-like ice cream full of fermented richness. We then drizzle in our Starling sweet potato swirl, cooked with a salty miso, before folding in a nutty buckwheat Florentine crumble.”

I don’t think it’s really a frozen yogurt, although it is made with cultured cream. I decided to try it anyway.

Starling Sweet Potato Buckwheat Crumble: The ice cream had a lot of textural components and flavors. It was thick and had a texture and flavor that reminded me mashed sweet potato. There was also an abundant amount of buckwheat crumble. I loved the buckwheat crumble because of the toasty flavor. It also wasn’t as sweet as a cookie. I could taste the sake, so that definitely made the flavor even more unique. The color was a striking purple. Overall, it was a bit too sweet for me, but I did love the crumble and sweet potato flavor.

New Jeni’s Flavor: Summer Berries & Passion Fruit

Fro-yo girl here. Remember back to when Jeni’s used to be proud of offering frozen yogurt? They were the only ones making buttermilk frozen yogurt (as far as I know). They deemphasized the fact that they make frozen yogurt, and the latest flavor, Summer Berries & Passion Fruit, has yogurt and cultured buttermilk, but it’s called ice cream.

Jeni’s describes the flavor as, “A lush, fragrant blend of raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries folded into cream. Cultured buttermilk and fresh yogurt to boost the berries’ brightness and create an almost bouncy texture. The showstopping finish? A sunny passion fruit curd that adds perfect texture and tropical punch to every bite.”

Summer Berries & Passion Fruit: The color and flavor reminded me of blueberries and cream, with added tang from the yogurt and cultured buttermilk. The passion fruit hits you after (it’s drizzled in rather than blended throughout). The yogurt buttermilk ice cream is quite tangy and quite sweet. I liked it, but I do prefer the even tangier froyo flavors like Rainbow BFY (buttermilk frozen yogurt).

A single scoop is almost $9 now, pre-tax.

Menchie’s June Featured Flavors

 

Fro-yo girl here. Happy June, aka, National Frozen Yogurt Month. Menchie’s has two new featured flavors that I just tried.

Strawberry Lemonade sorbet is vegan and made with real strawberries and lemons. It tastes more like strawberry than lemon. It’s pretty sweet. I was looking for something zesty and tart. I also found the taste to be artificial and the texture icy. It is made with no artificial flavors and no artificial colors though.

Sweet Cantaloupe froyo: This was also sweet but it tasted more natural and was less icy. It tasted like cantaloupe but not one note. It had some flavor variations that reminded me of cantaloupe. It’s made with no artificial flavors, no artificial colors and no high fructose corn syrup. Recommended toppings: strawberries, mochi, popping boba.

Menchie’s is also offering a spin on the prize wheel on the app every Monday for Swirl Club members.

The featured flavors are available for a limited time

Pinkberry’s New Supergirl Galactic Lemonade Flavor

 

Fro-yo girl here. Pinkberry just dropped its summer froyo flavor, and it’s inspired by the new DC Studios, Warner Bros. Pictures Supergirl movie. The new flavor, Supergirl Galactic Lemonade Frozen Yogurt is tart frozen yogurt that they recommend pairing with strawberries, blueberry popping boba, and gold glitter. The froyo is a light blue color (from butterfly pea flower).

The new Supergirl Galactic Lemonade is an iced lemonade topped with butterfly pea flower tea and dusted with gold glitter.

Supergirl Galactic Lemonade Frozen Yogurt: It’s refreshing, sweet, and tangy. It is quite sweet but the tang helps. The texture is light and icier. I thought it was tasty, but I prefer some of the other Pinkberry lemon flavors, particularly Meyer Lemon. Recommended toppings: strawberries, blueberries, and mochi.

Supergirl Galactic Lemonade Frozen Yogurt and Supergirl Galactic Lemonade are available in participating stores nationwide until July 23, 2026.

You can also enter the Pinkberry x Supergirl Sweepstakes for a chance to win a private screening of Supergirl, Supergirl-themed merchandise, Pinkberry merchandise, and a Pinkberry gift card.

Menchie’s El Monte Has Closed

Fro-yo girl here. Menchie’s in El Monte, CA, quietly closed. They didn’t post any messages on social media that I could find, and they closed their Instagram account. It probably closed about a month ago. The location is no longer on the Menchie's website.

I didn’t like the shop because the frozen yogurt texture was often too icy, but they were good about putting out the new flavors. I encountered stale toppings as well. The scanner was broken for over a year, so I couldn't complete the Menchie's app game challenge. 

The shop opened in 2016, so it just turned ten. The owners may have decided not to renew the franchise agreement.
