Van Leeuwen’s New Flavors: Pumpkin Spice and Vanilla
Fro-yo girl here. It looks like Van Leeuwen is planning a monthly flavor drop at their froyo-serving scoop shops. This month, there are two new flavors: Pumpkin Spice and Vanilla froyo. Neither are tart.
Vanilla froyo: I was surprised to find that it had a icier texture. It did not taste like frozen yogurt but it did taste like vanilla. Recommended toppings: any crumble, any sauce
Pumpkin spice froyo: Definitely creamier in texture than the vanilla froyo, the pumpkin spice froyo tasted like pumpkin ice cream. The texture was off though – there were some large ice crystals. It also melted fast. Recommended toppings: speculoos cookie crumble, honey slivered almonds, whipped cream.
What’s up with all the texture issues at Van Leeuwen?

New at Menchie’s in September
Chocolate Frosted Donut froyo: Menchie’s describes this flavor as, “Inspired by a chocolate frosted donut, this flavor features rich dark chocolate frosting swirled into smooth, creamy frozen yogurt. Every bite blends Dove’s dark chocolate with notes of freshly fried dough for an indulgent experience.” It didn’t taste like dark chocolate, but it did taste different from a regular chocolate froyo. The fried dough flavor was like cake batter or something. The texture was icier than I expected. I didn’t like the flavor at all. It would be better if it were just dark chocolate froyo. Recommended toppings: chocolate shell, chocolate chips
Menchie’s has a new promotion where you can earn double points on Tuesdays in September between 4 PM – 6 PM when you scan your app. Also, everyone who scans the app will be entered into a contest where you could win a $100 froyo party for your class.

New Pinkberry Froyo Flavor, Midnight Margarita & Practical Magic 2 Sweepstakes
Fro-yo girl here. Pinkberry just launched a flavor inspired by the movie, Practical Magic 2. In Practical Magic, the main witches make margaritas at midnight. Some fans add a witchy twist by adding blackberries.
Pinkberry’s Midnight Margarita froyo blends blackberries and limes (and I think a sweet and sour mix?). It tastes more like lime than blackberries, but it also tastes like something other than blackberries, lime, and froyo. I liked how it was sour and tangy. It’s not the most natural tasting, but I still enjoyed the very lime-forward, sweet/sour froyo. Pinkberry recommends adding fresh blackberries, black salt, purple sugar, and a lime slice.They had Practical Magic 2 cups. There’s also a Midnight Margarita refresher.
Enter the Practical Magic 2 sweepstakes for a chance to win a private screening of the movie, PM2 merchandise, and a Pinkberry gift card.
Practical Magic 2 arrives in theaters on September 10.

Menchie’s Creamy Rootbeer Float & Café Gelato
Fro-yo girl here. Menchie’s is featuring two new flavors this month, Creamy Roobeer Float froyo and Café Gelato with live and active cultures.
The new Gourmet Café Gelato is creamy and has live and active cultures. Menchie’s describes it as, “the perfect harmony between bold, roasted coffee notes and a luxurious, sweet, creamy finish.” It wasn’t as creamy as I expected but the coffee flavor was still nice. Recommended toppings: almonds, chocolate shell.

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.

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.

New Jeni’s Flavor: Summer Berries & Passion Fruit
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. For full details and to enter online, visit https://Pinkberry.com/supergirlsweeps now through June 19, 2026.

New Flavor at Yoga-urt: Black Sesame
Fro-yo girl here. Out of the blue, Yoga-urt announced a new flavor, Black Sesame. I’ve loved black sesame for a long time, and the new Yoga-urt flavor did not disappoint. The texture was thick, dense, smooth, and creamy, and the flavor nutty, sweet, and rich. It packed a lot of black sesame flavor; Recommended toppings: mochi. I think black sesame would be amazing with a Yoga-urt gluten-free cone.
It’s organic, gluten-free, and 100% plant-based. Black sesame froyo is available for a limited time only.

Yogurtland Introduces New Flavor, Super Sour Strawberry Splash Sorbet
Fro-yo girl here. There’s a new flavor in town. Yogurtland dropped Super Sour Strawberry Splash Sorbet today. Yogurtland describes the flavor as “bursting with real strawberries and a splash of mango for a bright, juicy flavor with a seriously sour kick in every bite.” It's exclusive to California, something that I don't recall Yogurtland doing in the past.
Super Sour Strawberry Splash Sorbet: I love sour flavors, and this one delivered on the sour promise. It was more sour than Plain Tart froyo by far. I could taste both the strawberries and the mango. The mango flavor was strong. The texture was smooth and not overly icy or watery. I was reminded of the Watermelon Sorbet made with Sour Patch Kids flavor that Yogurtland offered in 2022. I liked that flavor, and I liked the new super sour flavor too. Recommended toppings: Sour Patch Kids, fresh strawberries.
Yogurtland has a lot of gummies right now, including sour gummy worms, sour watermelon gummies, and Sour Patch Kids.

Fro-yo girl here. There were lots of new things at Menchie’s, including a new flavor, new rewards program called The Swirl Club, and new cups.
There are two featured flavors this month. Classic Vanilla Cupcake froyo, a fan favorite, is back. Juicy mango hibiscus sorbet is a new vegan sorbet made with real hibiscus. The sorbet is nonfat, gluten-free, and made with no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial flavors, and no artificial colors. It was tangier than the typical sorbet and had a pretty pink-orange hue. The hibiscus flavor was stronger than the mango. I enjoyed the tanginess.
The new rewards program, The Swirl Club, has three tiers. For every $1 you spend at Menchie’s, you’ll earn 1 point. The rewards differ by tier.

Menchie’s New Cup and Featured Flavors for April
Vegan Sweet White Peach Sorbet: Menchie’s describes the flavor as “subtly sweet, juicy, and aromatic, it’s carefully crafted to deliver a delicate and perfectly balanced flavor.” The sorbet contains no artificial flavors or artificial colors. The white peach flavor is quite strong and sweet. There was no tang. It was on the icier side. I found it to be candy-like. Recommended toppings: peach rings, strawberries, mochi.
I also found the new Monster Hunter Stories 3 Twisted Reflection cups. Monster Hunters is a video game. The cup features a person riding a dragon. I’m guessing that it’s someone named Rider?

Yogurtland Introduces Peach Mango Sorbet
Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland finally introduced a new flavor, the first new YL flavor of 2026. Peach Mango Sorbet is described by Yogurtland as, “A blend of juicy peach and sweet mango delivers a bright, refreshing sorbet.” It is nonfat, gluten-free, and Vitamin C fortified. I do wish it were froyo and not sorbet.
Peach Mango Sorbet is available for a limited time at participating Yogurtland locations.

Pinkberry’s New Spring Froyo Flavor, Mango Passion Jasmine
Fro-yo girl here. Pinkberry just dropped its new spring flavor, Mango Passion Jasmine froyo. They recommend topping it with mango, kiwi, and passion fruit boba.
Mango Passion Jasmine froyo: It was surprisingly tangy and not as sweet as I expected. I could taste the mango and the passionfruit, but not the jasmine. Maybe there was a floral undertone, but I’m not sure. The texture was light and smooth, but less creamy than their pomegranate froyo. I couldn’t taste the yogurt either. It was more like a sorbet. I wonder how different Mango Passion Jasmine froyo is from their other flavor, Passion Mango froyo. I haven’t had Passion Mango froyo since 2018, so I’m not sure. Recommended toppings: mango, raspberries, and a buttery waffle cookie.
Pinkberry also has a new crushed tea.
I’ve noticed a trend where some of the “new” Pinkberry flavors taste like older Pinkberry flavors. The Blueberry Lavender froyo tasted like the older Blueberry flavor. Green tea lemonade froyo tasted like the older Green Tea flavor. Island Mango froyo tasted like the older Mango froyo.
Mango Passion Jasmine froyo and the new crushed tea are available for a limited time at participating US Pinkberry stores.

Salt & Straw Concord Grape Nut Crumble Frozen Yogurt Review
Fro-yo girl here. Salt & Straw’s new Concord Grape Nut Crumble frozen yogurt is part of the new Cereal-sly Delicious series for March. This marks the third new froyo flavor they’ve introduced this year (that’s one a month).
Salt & Straw describes Concord Grape Nut Crumble as, “Straight out of New England, we kick things off with Concord grape juice frozen yogurt. Churned with a little salt, cinnamon, and vanilla to amp up those roasty-toasty cereal notes, we fold in streaks of Grape Nut pudding (think creamy baked cereal meets cookie butter) for a rich and custardy swirl. Finally, a textured, nutty bite of housemade Grape Nut crumble, made with buttery toasted pecans, enters the mix. It’s all the crunchy, malty goodness you know and love—just a little easier on the teeth.”
Concord Grape Nut Crumble: Grape Grape Nuts froyo sounded interesting. The light purple color certainly was pretty. The froyo is packed with texture from the Grape Nuts and is thick and creamy. The Grape Nuts softened but still have some crunch. There is some tang as well, coming from either the yogurt or the grape juice, or both. It wasn’t sour. It didn’t taste like grape juice, so the grape juice seems to be mostly for the visual effect (or the tangy sweetness). I couldn’t even smell the grapes. Since I like Grape Nuts, I still enjoyed the scoop, but it needs more yogurt and grape flavor.
The Cereal-sly Delicious flavors are:
- Pots of Gold and Rainbows
- Snap N' Crackle Marshmallow Treats
- Peanut Butter Brownie Cereal Puffs
- Concord Grape Nut Crumble
- Captain's Berried Treasure (v)
And they’re available for a limited time in March, while supplies last.

Menchie’s March Flavors & a New Collectible Spoon
Fro-yo girl here. Menchie’s just introduced the first new spoon of the year, a pink Sprinkle spoon. Sprinkle is holding a cup of Menchie’s froyo with extra sprinkles. You can even see Menchie’s head on the cup. The spoon says swirl.smile.repeat. The back of the spoon features the back of Sprinkle. These are nice big spoons. Get them before they run out.
Menchie’s featured flavors for March are Vegan Mint Chocolate Chip made with Almond Milk and the new HI-CHEW Grapefruit froyo.
HI-CHEW Grapefruit is a new froyo flavor inspired by HI-CHEW Grapefruit candy. It did taste like grapefruit but sweet like candy. Something about it tasted medicinal though. The texture was very icy, like a sorbet. The nonfat flavor is made with no artificial colors and no high fructose corn syrup. You can find HI-CHEW Grapefruit in the HI-CHEW Sweet & Sour Mix.
Vegan Mint Chocolate Chip made with Almond Milk is back for March. It’s made with no artificial flavors, artificial colors, and no high fructose corn syrup. It was creamy and thick. The mint flavor wasn’t strong.
These flavors will be available in March, while supplies last.

Yoga-urt’s New Flavor, Raspberry Romance
Fro-yo girl here. Yoga-urt introduced a flavor inspired by Valentine’s Day on Valentine’s Day. Raspberry Romance froyo tastes just like fresh raspberries but the texture and flavor are better than sorbet and gelato because it’s thick and creamy. The soft serve is also very tangy and seems less sweet than usual. So good. And the color of the soft serve is so pretty. It’s swirling at all Yoga-urt locations and available via Uber Eats as well.
The soft serve has live and active cultures, and it’s organic.You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

February at Menchie’s: A New Flavor, A Returning Flavor & NFYD
Fro-yo girl here. This month, Menchie’s is featuring a new flavor, Classic Blueberry Muffin froyo, and a returning favorite, Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Kisses froyo, made with Hershey’s milk chocolate.
Classic Blueberry Muffin froyo: According to Menchie’s, “muffin compares to our new flavor, Classic Blueberry Muffin! This froyo is made with no artificial flavors, no artificial colors, and no high fructose corn syrup.” It’s made with cake mix but the blueberry flavor is stronger than the cake flavor. The color is a striking blue. My sample was icy and also seemed overly sweet. I could taste a hint of the cake. Recommended toppings: graham crackers, blueberries, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
In case you needed a reminder, February 6 is National Frozen Yogurt Day. Menchie’s will offer a buy one, get one free on froyo on February 6 and double points when you scan your Menchie’s app in-store from February 7 – 13.

Pinkberry Introduces Matcha Strawberry Froyo
I love matcha froyo and strawberry froyo, so this flavor did catch my attention. Strawberry matcha drinks have been a thing for awhile now. Yogurtland introduced a Strawberry Matcha froyo in April 2024.
Matcha Strawberry froyo: The color looked like a murky greenish-brown and it tasted much more like a tart strawberry froyo than a matcha froyo. I could taste the matcha, but there wasn’t enough matcha flavor. The texture was smooth and silky though. Recommended toppings: mochi, strawberries, pie crust or waffle cookie
Matcha Strawberry froyo is available for a limited time, in stores or online.
