Skittles Yogurt Fruity Animal Gummies Review





Fro-yo girl here. I spotted Skittles Yogurt Fruit Animal Gummies at World Market. One pouch is 50g and was priced at $5.29. The gummies are imported from China. They’re made with real juice. The pouch is resealable. 
One pouch is 180 calories.

Each pouch comes with five different shapes and flavors. I think they’re all supposed to be animal-shaped, but I can’t tell what the round green shape is supposed to be. The gummies are very soft. I was hoping for something chewier.

  • Strawberry (cat-face): mild berry and yogurt flavor, sweet, soft texture; the strawberry flavor was faint
  • Original (paw-shaped) a little firmer, moist like a peelable gummy, sweet Yakult flavor
  • Peach (pig-shaped): probably the best tasting, like sweet peaches mixed with Yakult, soft, moist
  • Mango (fish-shaped) tastes like mango, very soft, little chew, moist, sweet
  • Lemon (smiley-face) tastes medicinal and unpleasant, like a lemon cleaning product

The texture just didn’t do it for me. I also did not enjoy the flavors. The lemon was the worst. 

These gummies taste nothing like Skittles. The different colors and flavors fit with the taste the rainbow Skittles slogan though.

2 out of 5 stars.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Yoga-urt Glendale Turns 11






Fro-yo girl here. Congrats to Yoga-urt on eleven years. I can vouch for the fact that Yoga-urt is just as good as it was on day one, only now there are many more flavors to choose from. In fact, today marked the launch of the newest flavor, Almond Joy. Almond Joy is a chocolate coconut almond flavor that is plant-based, organic, hand-crafted, all-natural and full of goodness (including live and active cultures).

Chocolate Bliss is Yoga-urt’s most popular flavor, and I’m sure that Almond Joy will delight chocolate froyo fans. I’m not a chocolate froyo fan, but I could taste the quality of ingredients, including the chocolate and coconut. It was rich, creamy, and thick. Recommended toppings: almonds and magic shell.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

* YOGA-URT, 1407 W Kenneth Rd, Glendale, CA 91201

Free Froyo Event for Descendants: Wicked Wonderland at Menchie’s

 




Fro-yo girl here. Thanks to Disney+, Descendants: Wicked Wonderalnd, and Menchie’s for today’s free froyo event. I went to Menchie’s in Burbank, CA, for the event, because I know that they’re always organized. One employee handed out 50 slips of paper to the first fifty guests. It was a hot day, and people were lined up well before 3 PM. The first five ounces were free.

They had the new red and blue Menchie’s spoons too.

Descendants: Wicked Wonderland is now streaming. It’s a teen fantasy series.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Ice Factory Strawberry Sorbet Ice Bar Review





Fro-yo girl here. While China first popularized ice bars in cute shapes, the trend spread to South Korea. Ice Factory launched a line of fruit-shaped ice bars that claim to be

the first disposable mold packaged ice cream). The bars are individually wrapped. I spotted watermelon, peach, mango, blue lemonade, and strawberry sorbet bars at H Mart in Arcadia. The bars are $3.99 each.

Strawberry sorbet bar: The bar is 67 ml or 2.27 fl. oz. It comes in a plastic mold. You remove the bar and put together the paper holder. It’s made with strawberries and contains strawberry seeds. One bar is 74 calories, 1g total fat, 16g total sugars, and 0g protein. The bar was hard (like a block of ice). I liked the flavor – it tasted like strawberry lemonade. It was tart and sweet. Once it started melting, it did get messy. It’s not as good as the bars you can get at TJ’s because it’s too hard, but it is cuter.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Go Greek Opens in Brentwood, Los Angeles

 





Fro-yo girl here. Go Greek is in expansion mode again and is now open in Brentwood, my old Westside neighborhood. It is modeled after a classic yogurteria that you'd find in Greece, serving classic yogurt and frozen yogurt. The mostly white shop with blue accents also looks like something you’d see in Greece.

During my visit, they had Kiehl’s bowls to promote the Kiehl’s collab. The Kiehl’s Better Summer Swirl bowl is banana froyo with pineapple, Greek cookie crumbs, toasted coconut, and cacao drizzle. I didn’t see most of those toppings. You must have to ask for them.

The Greek froyo is self-serve with six flavors a day (though during my visit, the strawberry wasn't available) and healthier toppings for $1.35/oz. Toppings include fresh fruit (more varieties than usual), cookies, dates, mochi, cacao nibs, chocolate chips, yogurt pretzels, nuts, granola, etc.

The menu also includes classic (non-frozen) Greek yogurt that's imported from Greece, sweet and savory Greek yogurt bowls, and smoothies made with Greek froyo.

Some of the toppings cost extra, including the Greek spoon sweets, honey, shaved chocolate, toasted coconut, hemp seeds, and even peanut butter. It seems stingy to me when the yogurt is almost twice as expensive as the average froyo shop. The toppings aren't that special. Even worse, they do not provide any samples.

Their best flavors are plain and Greek honey. Each is rich, creamy, smooth, quite tangy, and thick. Much as I do enjoy both, they are overly sweet.

This is the third Go Greek to open in California this year. It’s also one of two froyo shops in Brentwood.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
