Noosa Frozen Yoghurt Gelato Review






Fro-yo girl here. I remember when I read that Noosa was considering launching froyo. That was five years ago and they’ve finally launched their first froyo! It should be available nationwide by summer 2022. The initial reviews have been positive.

Noosa yoghurt gelato is made with whole milk, real fruit, probiotics, and no artificial flavors.

It’s sold in 14 oz tubs (at first I thought they were pints but they’re smaller than pints). My local Vons had all four flavors for $5.99 each. The product is meant to be over-the-top decadent but with live active cultures.




Honey Vanilla Bean: Thick, rich, and creamy, Honey Bean Vanilla is studded with lots of vanilla bean specks. The honey is not evenly distributed but it’s not sticky or super sweet either. Noosa’s Honey Vanilla Bean eats like a honey vanilla ice cream. You can taste the vanilla and a hint of honey. It’s pretty sweet and isn’t tangy like Noosa Yoghurt. One 2/3 cup serving is 220 calories, 10g total fat, 28g total carbs, 28g total sugars, and 4g protein.

Strawberries & Cream: Strawberries and cream has bits of strawberries and is also thick, rich, creamy, and dense. I liked how the strawberries gave it a little tang. It’s also as sweet as ice cream. Surprisingly, it does not have honey (Noosa Yoghurt has honey). One 2/3 cup serving is 230 calories, 10g total fat, 31g total carbs, 30g total sugars, and 4g protein.

Available flavors: Chocolate Fudge, Honey Vanilla Bean, Sea Salt Caramel, Strawberries & Cream

There’s a bit of a disconnect between Noosa’s yoghurt gelato and their regular yoghurt. The honey is missing (except for Honey Vanilla Bean) and so is the yogurt tang. Instead, these yoghurt gelatos are like ice cream. The first ingredient is cream. That’s not to say that they aren’t good but they don’t have a strong yogurt taste.

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