Allbarm Strawberry Freeze Drying Yogurt Cubes Review

 

Fro-yo girl here. I found Allbarm freeze-dried yogurt cubes at Zion Market. One pouch is 0.58 oz. The pouch is resealable. The snack is imported from Korea and made with a few ingredients, including local fruit and live lactic acid bacteria. The pouch was $2.99 regular price and 2 for $0.99 on sale.

Strawberry Cubes: These cubes were smaller than the other ones I’ve had. The fruit and yogurt and blended together. The texture is crunchy, but the cubes melt in your mouth. The flavor was tangy and fruity. I liked how it wasn’t that sweet. It was more tangy than sweet. I could definitely taste the strawberries, but the yogurt added some creaminess.

One serving (one pouch) is 63 calories, 0g total fat, 14g total carbs, 10g total sugars

Available flavors: plain, peach, strawberry, blueberry 

I first covered the freeze-dried yogurt cubes trend in 2022. The cubes were already popular all over Asia, particularly in China.

It’s a good snack but expensive compared to a cup of yogurt. However, it’s portable and shelf-stable.

Fruit Whisper Strawberry Ice Bar Review

Fro-yo girl here. The new batch of 3D fruit-shaped ice cream from China includes Fruit Whisper’s strawberry and grape ice bars. They’re sold in packs of three. Zion Market was selling a single strawberry ice bar for $4.99 and a box of three for $12.99. The bars are imported from China.

One ice bar is 2.65 oz, 220 calories, 15g total fat, 14g total sugars, 18g total carbs, and 3g protein. The bars are halal.

Strawberry ice bar: I noticed the packaging isn’t as nice as the other 3D fruit bars. The base was plain white plastic, and the paper leaves looked cheap. The ice cream itself did look nice and strawberry-like. The exterior is an imitation white chocolate shell that has a mild flavor. The ice cream is firmer and icier than the other 3D fruit bars, but I did appreciate how it tasted more like the fruit that it looks like than the other 3D fruit bars. I could taste the strawberry jam that was blended into the ice cream. It was still creamy but not as smooth and soft as the other 3D fruit bars. It was good.

4 out of 5 stars.

Lotte Foods Greek Yogurt Bars Review

Fro-yo girl here. It’s been awhile since I’ve spotted a new Korean frozen yogurt bar but I finally found a new variety, Lotte Foods Greek Yogurt bars. I found one flavor, blueberry, at Zion Market in LA’s Koreatown. The package was $6.99.

One package contains six individually wrapped frozen yogurt bars. One bar is 80 ml with 75 calories and 11g of fat. The bars are manufactured in Korea.

The bar smells nice, like yogurt and it has a small, thin blueberry swirl. The thin white coating is creamy and tastes a bit like sweet white chocolate. The interior is soft and creamy and not too dense – a better than expected texture for a frozen yogurt bar. The interior has a mild, milky flavor and the blueberry swirl adds hints of berry and lemon. The coating has the strongest flavor. The tang is very mild. Overall it’s an interesting creamy sweet treat. I wish it had a stronger yogurt flavor.

Ingredients: Water, yogurt coating (rapeseed oil, coconut oil, sugar, mixed milk powder, lactose), sugar, mixed milk powder (skim milk powder, sweet whey powder), thick fermented milk (milk, sugar, skim milk, lactic acid), blueberry syrup (blueberry, sugar, water, fructooligosaccharide, lemon concentrate), extra oligosaccharide (starch syrup, isomaltooligosaccharide, fructose), processed butter (milk, cream, butter, coconut oil), milk, artificial flavor (yogurt), citric acid, mixed formulation (guar gum, locust bean gum, carrageenan, tamarind gum), emulsifier, greek yogurt powder

As you can see, the list of ingredients is lengthy.

I wonder if it comes in other flavors? Apparently Lotte Foods has a new macaroon ice cream product. I’d like to try it.

4 out of 5 stars.
