Fro-yo girl here. Remember back to when Jeni’s used to be proud of offering frozen yogurt? They were the only ones making buttermilk frozen yogurt (as far as I know). They deemphasized the fact that they make frozen yogurt, and the latest flavor, Summer Berries & Passion Fruit, has yogurt and cultured buttermilk, but it’s called ice cream.Jeni’s describes the flavor as, “A lush, fragrant blend of raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries folded into cream. Cultured buttermilk and fresh yogurt to boost the berries’ brightness and create an almost bouncy texture. The showstopping finish? A sunny passion fruit curd that adds perfect texture and tropical punch to every bite.”
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.

Fro-yo girl here. After seeing so many froyo products for sale at the Bristol Farms in South Pasadena, I felt inspired to see what the froyo selection was at the other supermarkets in town.
The Whole Foods in Pasadena on Arroyo is one of their larger, nicer locations. Here’s a look at what froyo products they’re currently selling:
- 365 by Whole Foods Market offers two flavors of organic Greek yogurt dessert bars: mango and blueberry. Each box contains four bars.
- Alden’s Organic provides one flavor of yogurt bars: strawberry. Each box includes four bars.
- Jeni’s frozen dessert sandwiches come in two varieties made with froyo: key lime pie and triple berry tart. The cookies and froyo are superior to typical frozen dessert sandwiches.
- Yasso bars: Whole Foods features a wide variety of Yasso’s Greek frozen yogurt bars. Each box has four bars.
Bristol Farms has more froyo products than Whole Foods, but Whole Foods has its own brand of froyo bars.
