New Passion Fruit Froyo at Van Leeuwen

Fro-yo girl here. Van Leeuwen just dropped a new froyo flavor, Passion Fruit, at all Van Leeuwen locations with froyo (i.e., 14 VL scoop shops). It’s a tart-based froyo made with organic A2 Bulgarian yogurt and passion fruit puree.

Passion fruit froyo: The froyo was creamy and soft in texture. The flavor was punchy and very tangy. It definitely tasted like passion fruit and yogurt (even with a slightly fermented flavor). It also was quite sweet. I don’t love passion fruit, but I don’t hate it either. When it comes to passion fruit froyo, I prefer passion fruit combined with another fruit flavor. Recommended toppings: toasted coconut, honey slivered almonds, passion fruit sauce or raspberry puree.

December at Menchie’s

 

Fro-yo girl here. I’m back from Menchie’s Percy Jackson & the Olympians Season 2 celebration. At 3 PM today, the first 50 guests at Menchie’s across the country received 5 oz of free froyo. Thanks Disney/Hulu and Menchie’s. Season 2 of Percy Jackson & the Olympians premieres today on Disney+ and hulu.

To celebrate the premiere, Menchie’s created a new flavor, Percy Jackson’s No Sugar Added Blue Raspberry froyo. Described as “a sweet blue raspberry fruity flavor with a slight tartness,” NSA Blue Raspberry froyo is made with no artificial flavors or artificial colors. It tasted like sweet blue raspberry candy. While the texture was creamy, it was also slightly gritty. I didn’t like it. Recommended toppings: fresh berries and white chocolate chips.

I also spotted new Percy Jackson & the Olympians cups. The other side of the cup features a holiday scene with Menchie and Chip.

The other featured flavor this month is White Peppermint Bark froyo, made with Hershey’s Premier White Chips. White peppermint bark froyo was first introduced in 2016, but it might not have been made with Hershey’s back then. I liked this creamy flavor better – the white chocolate muted the peppermint, so it wasn’t overwhelming minty. The texture was creamy. Recommended toppings: I didn’t see any peppermint candies, so I recommend adding white chocolate chips, waffle chips, and roasted almonds for crunch.

Menchie’s is also offering a free $5 bonus card with a purchase of $25 or more in Menchie’s gift cards.

New Flavor at Yoga-urt, Masala Chai

 

Fro-yo girl here. I’m so in love with the newest Yoga-urt flavor, Masala Chai, developed in collaboration with Roma B, a plant-based recipe developer. The flavor is inspired by her family’s masala chai recipe. The masala blend is made with nine organic spices added to black tea and Yoga-urt’s plant-based, organic cashew and almond base. The spices are fresh and blended by Roma herself.

I’ve always loved masala chai, so this flavor truly excites me. The black pepper adds a bit of a kick. With so many spices, the flavor is complex. None of the spices is too strong or overwhelming. There’s ginger, cardamom, saffron, and more. The texture is super thick and creamy, and it has a clean finish.

You can find Masala Chai at all Yoga-urt locations (Granada Hills, Santa Monica, Echo Park, Glendale) from now until December 15. Buy some pints for home consumption too.

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

New at Menchie’s, Dubai Chocolate Froyo

 

Fro-yo girl here. It took awhile for me to find the new Menchie’s flavor, Dubai Chocolate froyo. It’s described by Menchie’s as “rich, creamy milk chocolate with the nuttiness of pistachio.” The flavor is lowfat, gluten-free, and made with no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial flavors, and no artificial colors.

Dubai Chocolate froyo: It looks brownish like milk chocolate froyo. I could definitely taste the pistachio too. The flavor was creamy and smooth. It didn’t work for me though. I think the appeal of Dubai Chocolate depends in part in the different textures. Also, it’s nice that the chocolate and the pistachio are separate.

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

November at Menchie’s

Fro-yo girl here. It’s November at Menchie’s, which means it's time for a new featured flavor, NEW Chocolate Covered Raspberry froyo made with Hershey’s Chocolate. CCR is described as “a subtle tangy raspberry covered in a rich semi-sweet Hershey's chocolate.” It's made with no artificial flavors, no artificial flavors, and no high fructose corn syrup.

Chocolate Covered Raspberry froyo: It’s a smooth and mild milk chocolate froyo, thanks to the Hershey’s chocolate. The raspberry flavor is present but not too strong. It’s a nice mellow combination. The chocolate and raspberry flavors are harmonious. Recommended toppings: Special Dark chips, Oreo cookie crumbs, and fresh raspberries.

I heard that Menchie’s will offer Dubai Chocolate froyo soon, so keep checking.

Menchie’s is also honoring members of the military, past and present, on Veterans Day, November 11, with 6 oz of free froyo.

Yogurtland’s New Flavor, Peppermint Mocha Frozen Yogurt & Holiday Promo

 

Fro-yo girl here. It’s November, so winter froyo flavors are on the way. Yogurtland launched the new flavor, Peppermint Mocha frozen yogurt, on November 3. Peppermint Mocha froyo is described as, “a festive swirl of cool peppermint and rich mocha [that] creates a refreshing, creamy frozen yogurt.” The flavor is nonfat, gluten-free, and made with real cocoa and coffee.

Peppermint Mocha froyo: I was a bit hesitant to try the flavor (I wasn’t in the mood for a strong mint flavor), but I really liked it. The mocha (coffee) flavor was more dominant than the peppermint. Also, the coffee flavor was mellow and smooth, not bitter or harsh. The texture was creamy and smooth. Recommended toppings: whipped cream, gingerbread men, and chocolate chips.

I spotted a holiday topping, mini gingerbread men cookies. The cookies are thick and crunchy with a bit of gingerbread spice.

The new holiday cups feature a green background with holiday images: gingerbread men, candy canes, peppermint candies, and sprinkles. And the new complimentary holiday sticker sheets have a similar look (the same color, a few of the same images that are on the cup). The sticker sheet comes with ten stickers, including a red Yogurtland spoon, a cup of froyo, a gift, an ornament, holiday cookies, a candy cane, and a round peppermint candy.

There are red holiday candy cane spoons, too.

New Yoga-urt Flavor: Earl Grey

 

Fro-yo girl here. Yoga-urt debuted a new flavor, Earl Grey, in Santa Monica during the fourth anniversary celebration on October 25. It’s made with organic Earl Grey tea and a touch of vanilla. Like all Yoga-urt soft serve, it’s hand-crafted, organic, vegan, kosher, soy-free, and probiotic.

I’ve always loved Earl Grey tea and tea-flavored froyo. The froyo definitely had a strong floral Earl Grey flavor. It was sweet and clean-tasting. For some reason the texture wasn’t as thick as usual, and it seemed icier than other Yoga-urt flavors. Maybe it was because of the machine?

I would definitely want to try it again to see if the texture changes.

Recommended toppings: housemade cake, mochi

New Back to the Future 40th Anniversary Promo at Yogurtland Includes New Flavor

Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland is celebrating the 40th anniversary of Back to the Future with a new nostalgic fall flavor. Great Scott! Caramel Apple Pie froyo launched today. It’s made with real apples, shortbread, and cinnamon. I don’t like apple pie, so I was skeptical. Fortunately, the flavor was mellow and enjoyable. I tasted the buttery caramel but it wasn’t too strong. The apple flavor is mild too. It’s mellow enough to go with many flavors. The texture was smooth, rich, ad creamy. Recommended toppings: Cinnamon Toast Crunch, whipped cream, almonds.

The flavor is available for a limited time, through November 30, or while supplies last. The location that I went to did not have Doc’s Churro Bites, the BTTF promotional topping. I did learn that they’re going to start giving out BTTF Yogurtland sticker sheets tomorrow.

October 21 is Back to the Future Day because it’s the date that Doc Brown and Marty McFly arrive in the future in Back to the Future Part II. Show up in a BTTF Doc Brown or Marty McFly costume on 10/21 and enjoy 30% off your purchase.

Save the date for Fan Appreciation Day, October 27. Yogurtland wlll offer double points to Real Rewards members and a BOGO free deal.

Yogurtland introduced Caramel Apple froyo back in 2016 as part of the Trolls promo. Caramel Apple Pie is a different and better flavor.

Menchie’s October Promotions

Fro-yo girl here. It finally feels like Halloween! Menchie’s has two spooky featured froyo flavors this month. Harvest Pumpkin froyo is back for another month, and that month happens to National Pumpkin Month. And Fruity Cereal froyo is brand new.

Harvest Pumpkin froyo: Menchie’s Harvest Pumpkin froyo is made with real pumpkin, cinnamon, and ginger. Recommended toppings: Butterfinger, chocolate shell, Special Dark chocolate chips

Fruity Cereal froyo: This is a pretty pale pink froyo that tastes like Fruity Pebbles milk. It’s on the mild side, so it would go well with other flavors like vanilla. The froyo is nonfat and gluten-free. It’s made with no artificial colors or artificial flavors. Recommended toppings: fresh fruit, granola, nuts

Menchie’s is also promoting the new Gabby’s Dollhouse The Movie with Cakey’s Cake Batter froyo and a special cup design. Gabby’s Dollhouse The Movie is showing only in theaters.

New White Mocha Froyo at Pinkberry

 

Fro-yo girl here. Time for Pinkberry’s fall flavor…it’s White Mocha froyo. Pinkberry recommends topping it with mocha sauce, chocolate wafer cookies, and whipped cream. 

I tried a sample, and it was sweet with a smooth coffee flavor. The coffee flavor wasn’t bitter. The flavor was light and on the icier side. It was too sweet for me, but I’m sure that it would be yummy with whipped cream, dark chocolate crisps, and the Belgian butter waffle cookie. I’ve gotten used to those yummy tart Pinkberry flavors!

FYI, a white mocha is usually made with espresso, steamed milk, and white chocolate sauce.

White Mocha froyo is available for a limited time (until October 30) at participating locations, while supplies last.

Menchie’s New Featured Flavors, Susan G. Komen Fundraiser

Fro-yo girl here. Menchie’s is partnering with Susan G. Komen again, to raise money for breast cancer research and programs. The goal is to raise $200,000 or more in August. Guests who make a donation will receive a sign that says “I donated to Susan G. Komen at Menchie’s.” You can personalize the sign and display it on the wall at Menchie’s. I made a donation and also received a sticker saying that I had donated.

The two featured flavors for this month are S’mores froyo and Hawaiian POG sorbet. S’mores is a returning flavor. Hawaiian POG sorbet is new. POG stands for passionfruit, orange, and guava.

Hawaiian POG sorbet: The orange flavor was the strongest of the three fruit flavors. There was a tropical twist to the flavor with the addition of passionfruit and guava. It was rather sweet with no real tang. I wouldn’t get it again. Hawaiian POG sorbet is dairy-free and contains no artificial colors, no artificial flavors, and no high fructose corn syrup.

Featured flavors are available for a limited time, while supplies last. Menchie's website looks different. You still can't easily search the flavors online. And it's harder to see the full list of stores.

Yoga-urt Granada Hills Celebrates First Anniversary

Fro-yo girl here. I’m back from the Yoga-urt Granada Hills first anniversary celebration today, August 3, with the details.

The brand new flavor is…Pineapple Paradise. It’s plant-based, all-natural, and made with Yoga-urt’s proprietary almond and cashew milk base. The nut milk mellows the pineapple flavor so that it’s not as sweet as you’d expect. The texture was super thick and creamy, creamier than Dole Whip and other pineapple soft serve.

The anniversary sundae is the Pina Colada Sundae, featuring a swirl of Pineapple Paradise and Coconut Macaroon, coconut shavings, and homemade strawberry sauce.

You could also enter a raffle to win a $100 Yoga-urt Granada Hills gift card.

And 10% of sales on August 3 will go to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.

Yoga-urt soft serve is vegan, kosher, soy free, gluten-free, all-natural, probiotic, hand-crafted, small batch, and made on site. The gluten-free cones and sauces are also made in-house with proprietary recipes. For toppings, choose from fresh fruit, mochi, sprinkles, nuts, granola, coconut, mulberries, cacao nibs, and housemade sauces.

Yoga-urt 10th Anniversary New Flavor Reveal & Other Anniversary News

 

Fro-yo girl here. I was lucky enough to sample Yoga-urt’s tenth anniversary NEW flavor. It’s purple, proprietary, and plant-based (plus organic, all natural, hand-crafted, soy-free, etc). The new flavor is Purple Lotus (watermelon & hibiscus). Mmmm, so good. I’ve never had that flavor combination before and you know I love a creative flavor. It’s the perfect summer flavor, since it’s watermelon season. The watermelon makes it sweet and light, but the hibiscus gives it a slightly tart edge that I really appreciate. Try it now. The yogurt is made in limited batches, so hurry.

I also tried the new waffle cones which are made with the almond and cashew pulp that’s the byproduct of the almond and cashew milk that’s made in-house. The new cones are light and crunchy. They might be a bit thinner than the old cones. And yes, they are gluten-free.

Tomorrow, July 12, is the tenth anniversary celebration at all Yoga-urt locations. You’ll get to try the new flavor, Purple Lotus. The first 50 customers at each location will get a custom Yoga-urt bamboo spoon. You can also order a limited edition birthday sundae and the new waffle cones. Also, enjoy $1 off all soft serve bowls from 3 PM - 5 PM (one per customer).

The shops are in Glendale, Echo Park, Santa Monica, and Granada Hills.

Menchie’s June Featured Flavors

 

Fro-yo girl here. It’s summer flavor time at Menchie’s. This month’s featured flavors are both fruity and refreshing.

The NEW HI-CHEW Blue Hawaii Tropical Candy froyo flavor was inspired by the Blue Hawaii candy flavor from the fan-favorite HI-CHEW® Fantasy Mix. It’s a combination of juicy pineapple and tangy citrus. The flavor is nonfat and is made with no artificial flavors, no artificial colors, and no high fructose corn syrup.

HI-CHEW Blue Hawaii Tropical Candy froyo: the pale blue color is so pretty. It tasted like pineapple, mainly with a bit of tang. The citrus was difficult to discern. The texture isn’t as creamy as some of the other froyo flavors. Recommended toppings: fruity gummies, fresh fruit

Strawberry Kiwi sorbet is a vegan flavor that’s made with real strawberry. It’s nonfat, gluten-free, and made with no high fructose corn syrup, artificial colors, or artificial colors. I could definitely taste the strawberry, but not the kiwi. It was too sweet for me. Recommended toppings: strawberry gummies, fresh strawberries, and mochi.

Menchie’s featured flavors are available for a limited time, while supplies last.

Yogurtland New Summer Tropical Flavors Inspired by Princess Cruises

Fro-yo girl here. Froyo summer or summer froyo has arrived at Yogurtland with a tropical getaway theme.

The flavor voyage begins with two new tropical flavors, inspired by Yogurtland’s promo partner, Princess Cruises.

Spicy Strawberry Watermelon Sorbet is made with real strawberries, watermelon, and a hint of chili. It’s non-fat, gluten-free, and sweet & spicy. This was a pretty light pink sorbet that I found way too sweet. It’s a little spicy, but it hits you after the sweetness. Recommended toppings: strawberries, watermelon, and mochi.

Guava Passion Tart Froyo, made with real passion fruit and guava, is tangy and tropical. This was also a pale pink. I liked the flavor better than Spicy Strawberry Watermelon sorbet because of the tang. The guava seemed stronger. Recommended toppings: Pineapple chamoy gummies, mochi, and pineapple.

Both flavors were light and tropical.

Continuing with the tropical cruise theme, there are new toppings: Ocean Gummies and Pineapple Chamoy Gummies. These are large, chewy gummies. The ocean ones come in different shapes (e.g., shells, sharks, crabs), and each shape is a different flavor. The pineapple chamoy gummies are firmer than the ocean gummies, and they are coated in chamoy. They’re spicy and tangy.

These flavors and toppings are available for a limited time this summer.

I also picked up the complimentary summer sticker sheets, which say Yogurtland x Princess. Each sheet comes with eleven stickers, including seashells, a pineapple, a turtle, a seahorse, a crab, and watermelon – oh wait, the stickers are the same shapes as the new gummies. The stickers also include a Yogurtland cup, spoon, Yogurtland logo, and the Love Boat

Don’t forget to enter the Sweet Getaway Giveaway for a chance to win a cruise for four aboard Princess Cruises. I think you get to choose the destination: the Caribbean, California Coast, or Mexico.

Summer at Pinkberry: New Flavor, New Topping, & Summer Crush Sweepstakes

Fro-yo girl here. Summer froyo time is here. Pinkberry just released its summer froyo flavor, Summer Melon Crush. They recommend pairing it with honeydew, watermelon, lime zest, and spiced nuts. The spiced nuts are a creative new topping.

Summer Melon Crush froyo: The froyo is light green and tastes like honeydew, only tarter. Honeydew isn’t usually tart, so it surprised me a bit. The texture was smooth and light. I thought it was interesting but didn’t love it. Recommended toppings: mochi and watermelon.

The spiced nuts are basically a spiced trail mix. The flavor is sweet and savory. It reminded me a bit of a BBQ flavor. I spotted almonds, peanuts, pepitas, corn nuts, and crackers. The spiced nuts (aka trail mix) added a nice crunch to the froyo.

Pinkberry also announced the Summer Crush Sweeps. Two winners will be chosen. The grand prize winner gets an Emily Henry book bundle, Pinkberry swag, and a $50 Pinkberry gift card. The second prize winner will get an Emily Henry curated book bundle, Pinkberry swag, and a $50 Pinkberry gift card. No purchase is necessary to enter the sweepstakes.

New May Flavors & Toppings at Menchie’s

Fro-yo girl here. It’s feeling like springtime at Menchie’s with the cute new Mookie lavender colored spoons, two brand new flavors, and a new topping.

Nerds Rainbow Candy sorbet: This new flavor was inspired by Nerds Gummy Clusters candy. I’ve never had Nerds gummy clusters, but I have had Nerds. The sorbet is a bright pinkish red hue, and it tastes like fruit punch. I wasn’t a fan, but I can imagine that kids would like it. Nerds Rainbow Candy sorbet is nonfat, gluten-free, and made with no high fructose corn syrup. Recommended toppings: Nerds gummy clusters

Peaches N Cream froyo: The new Peaches N Cream froyo is made with real peaches. The peach flavor was nice, and the froyo was smooth and creamy. The cream muted the peach flavor. It was good, mild enough to go with lots of froyo flavors and toppings. Recommended toppings: granola, almonds, and mango. Peaches N Cream froyo is lowfat, gluten-free, and contains no artificial colors, artificial flavors, or high fructose corn syrup.

The new topping, Nerds Gummy Clusters, is obviously the perfect topping for Nerds Rainbow Candy sorbet.

The new flavors are available for a limited time, while supplies last.

Pinkberry Introduces Spring Froyo Flavor, Blueberry Lavender

Fro-yo girl here. Spring’s new Pinkberry froyo flavor is Blueberry Lavender. The official recommended combination is Blueberry Lavender froyo with fresh blueberries and lemon wafer cookies. There is also a new blueberry lavender smoothie. 

Blueberry Lavender froyo: The froyo was smooth and light with a refreshing tang. I couldn’t taste the lavender though. It’s been a long time since I’ve had Pinkberry’s blueberry flavor. I’ve always liked that flavor. Blueberry Lavender seemed tarter than the blueberry that I remember and it does taste like real yogurt. Recommended toppings: fresh blueberries, mochi, Belgian butter waffle cookie, dark chocolate crisps. I didn’t see the lemon wafer cookies during my visit, so I can't recommend them. 

Blueberry Lavender is available for a limited time at participating stores nationwide. It will be around till May 29.

Yogurtland had a blueberry lavender light ice cream back in 2019.

Pinkberry recently turned twenty quietly. I wonder if they have anything planned?

Menchie’s March Featured Flavors

Fro-yo girl here. Menchie’s has two featured flavors this month and the new Two Thumbs Up Kiwi spoon.

Orange Cream Bar froyo is a new flavor that’s described as a blend of “vibrant citrus with smooth, creamy vanilla.” The froyo is gluten-free, and contains no artificial colors, artificial flavors, or high fructose corn syrup. The texture was extra rich, thick, and creamy. The cream flavor was strong, and the orange flavor quite muted. I was expecting more orange flavor. It was pleasant and rich. Recommended toppings: strawberries, Sour Patch Kids.

It’s hard to believe that Menchie’s hasn’t had orange creamsicle before? The previous Menchie’s orange flavors were Freshly Squeezed Orange Sorbet, Orange Pineapple Sorbet, Blood Orange Sorbet, and Carrot Orange Boost Sorbet.

Cotton Candy froyo is back. I didn’t think that I would like the flavor because I don’t like cotton candy. Cotton candy tastes just like sugar. Cotton Candy froyo is better than cotton candy because the yogurt mutes the cloying sweetness of cotton candy. And this flavor is nonfat, gluten-free, and contains no artificial colors or flavors and no high fructose corn syrup. Recommended toppings: Sprinkles, Circus Animal Cookies, white chocolate chips

These flavors are available at participating locations for a limited time, while supplies last.

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