New Pinkberry Summer Froyo Flavor: Lava Swirl




Fro-yo girl here. I’ve been enjoying Pinkberry’s Strawberry Shortcake froyo quite often and I’m a bit sad to see it go but it’s time for a new Pinkberry flavor. Pinkberry has just introduced the new Lava Swirl froyo and smoothie. This limited time flavor is available in participating stores until August 18.

The Lava Swirl flavor was inspired by the Lava Flow cocktail. I might be in the minority but I didn’t know about the Lava Flow cocktail. It’s a tropical Hawaiian cocktail made with made with rum, strawberries, pineapple, and coconut cream. It's layered and looks like a volcano, with the red layer covered by the white layer. Pinkberry’s version is non-alcoholic; it has strawberries, pineapple, and coconut. They recommend topping it with pineapple, coconut shavings, strawberry puree, and whipped cream.

Lava Swirl froyo: I wasn’t sure if I’d like this flavor. Fortunately, I did. It reminded me of Pinkberry’s Strawberry Shortcake froyo only with a touch of coconut cream. The strawberry flavor hit me first and then it was finished with the flavor of coconut cream. The froyo was tangy and seemed a little creamier than usual. Recommended toppings: strawberries, pineapple, mango.

FYI, get double points on your Pinkberry purchase from June 1 - June 5.

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