Favorite New Froyo Flavors of 2025

Fro-yo girl here. I think I tried about 25 new froyo flavors this year, so that’s a good number. There weren’t many new tart froyo flavors from which to choose.

These were my favorites.

Best Tart Froyo (Dairy-Based): Blueberry Lavender from Pinkberry. I tend not to like the flavor of lavender (too floral) but I do love blueberry tart froyo. Blueberry Lavender froyo was smooth and tangy. The blueberry flavor was much stronger than the lavender flavor. 

Best Sweet Froyo (Dairy-Based): Peppermint Mocha from Yogurtland. I wasn’t in the mood for a strong mint froyo, but Yogurtland surprised me with a flavor that tasted much more like mocha than peppermint.

Best Vegan Froyo: Masala Chai from Yoga-urt. This was my favorite new flavor of 2025, thanks to the complex yet scrumptious blending of spices and the clean finish. I’ve always loved chai, especially with cardamom, and Masala Chai brought the cardamom and more. It’s based on Roma B’s family recipe for masala chai.

Favorite Froyo Flavors of 2024

Fro-yo girl here. It’s time for me to pick my favorite new froyo flavors of 2024. There were fewer new froyo flavors this year compared to 2023. In particular, there were very few new tart froyo flavors.

Best Tart Froyo (Dairy-Based): Mango Lemonade froyo from Pinkberry

Mango froyo can be too sweet. Adding lemonade gives it the brightness and tanginess that I crave.

Best Sweet Froyo (Dairy-Based): Strawberry Matcha froyo from Yogurtland

Yogurtland created a flavor that balanced the strawberries and matcha.

Best Vegan Froyo: Nana’s Lemon Meringue Pie from Yoga-urt

This was a tough choice because all of Yoga-urt’s new flavors this year were amazing. But, I have to go with Nana’s Lemon Meringue Pie because of the tanginess. Nana’s Lemon Meringue Pie is made with real lemons, marshmallow crème, and the Yoga-urt house almond/cashew base.

Best New Froyo Flavors of 2020

 

Fro-yo girl here. There were fewer new froyo flavors this year because of COVID-19’s impact on froyo shops. Most of the ones I’ve been to stopped offering samples and are full service (even though most are self-serve froyo shops). But there were new froyo flavors introduced this year, so it’s time for me to pick my favorite new flavors for 2020.

Best Tart: Acai Berry by Pinkberry

There were very few new tart froyo flavors this year. Pinkberry was an exception – they’re still good about introducing tart flavors. Acai Berry tasted like blueberry tart (I love blueberry tart) with a hint of acai.

Best Sweet: Carrot Cake OREO from Menchie’s

What is it about carrot cake and froyo? Carrot cake froyo is usually tasty and I don’t even like carrot cake. The dairy mutes the sweetness of the cake flavor. I like the warm spices Menchie’s used.

Best Vegan: Key Lime by Yoga-urt

Yoga-urt continues to be the best vegan froyo you can find and they also continue to introduce fabulous new flavors. Key Lime vegan froyo married an intriguing nuttiness from the house almond/cashew milk base with the tang of key lime. It's also organic, kosher, soy free, and gluten free.

My Favorite Tart, Sweet & Vegan Froyo Flavors of 2018

Fro-yo girl here. It’s time for me to pick my favorite new froyo flavors of 2018. This year’s new flavors didn’t thrill me. Maybe there are so many existing flavors that it’s hard to come up with something new that’s really good? I hope that’s not the case.

Here are my favorites for 2018:

Best Tart Froyo: Green Tea Lemonade frozen yogurt from Pinkberry

Pinkberry introduced three new tart froyo flavors this year. Green Tea Lemonade was my favorite because I love green tea and lemonade. But, it was pretty similar to the old Green Tea flavor that Pinkberry had, only tangier. And I love tang! Still, it wasn’t as good as last year’s winner, Pinkberry’s Blueberry Muffin frozen yogurt with blueberry muffin topping.

Best Sweet Froyo: Cold Brew Coffee from Menchie’s

I was torn between Strawberry Rose froyo from Yogurtland (love that it’s innovative and you could taste the rose) and Cold Brew Coffee from Menchie’s. After eating Strawberry Rose froyo a few times, I experienced some flavor fatigue. Menchie’s Cold Brew Coffee froyo had a stronger coffee flavor and had caffeine.

Best Vegan Froyo: Pistachio Passion from Yoga-urt

Yoga-urt in Glendale, CA has been producing the best vegan froyo flavors ever since they opened. It must be the freshness and quality of their product. They make their own vegan base with housemade cashew and almond milk. Mr. Froyo and I agreed that the best new flavor of the year was Pistachio Passion. He puts it in his top 3 flavors from Yoga-urt (the other two are Ganesha’s Sweet Greens and Peanut Butter Prana. Strawberry Serenity is #4). Pistachio Passion was introduced for World Vegan Day this November. This flavor is made with organic pistachios grown in Santa Barbara. Yoga-urt grinds the pistachios themselves and adds it to their housemade almond/cashew base. Three kinds of nuts! Unlike other pistachio froyo, it’s full of pistachio flavor and has the added texture of the ground nuts.

Best New Froyo Flavors of 2016

Fro-yo girl here. Last year I consumed over 200 cups of froyo. This year’s total will be slightly shy of 200 (I expect to end the year at 190 cups of froyo). That’s a lot of froyo consumed. Most of the consumption occurred in Southern California. 

New flavors definitely keep me interested in consuming froyo. My favorite flavors in 2016 were:

Best Tart: Yogurtland’s Blueberry Mangosteen Tart

Yogurtland’s Blueberry Mangosteen tart was part of the Trolls promotion. The flavor is made with real blueberries and mangosteen. You can definitely taste the blueberries and the mangosteen makes it tangier and more interesting. The mangosteen tasted like grapes to me but others describe mangosteen as tasting like strawberries, kiwis, plums, peaches, etc.

Best Sweet Froyo: Yogurtland’s Chocolate Covered Pretzel

Yogurtland’s Chocolate Covered Pretzel frozen yogurt was also part of the Trolls promotion. I normally don’t like chocolate frozen yogurt but this flavor was so intriguing in terms of flavor and texture. It’s filled with tiny pretzel bits and the chocolate flavor works so well with the saltiness from the pretzels.

Best Vegan/Non-Chain: Yoga-urt’s Radiant Golden Rose

Yoga-urt continues to impress me (and Mr. Froyo) with its flavors and product quality. Their vegan base made with housemade cashew milk and almonds results in a very dense and very clean tasting frozen yogurt. It tastes fresher and less processed. Radiant golden rose was created for Yoga-urt’s first anniversary. It tastes like saffron with a hint of rosewater, flavors reminiscent of the Middle East.

Best Vegan/Chain: Pinkberry’s Coconut Milk

I’m not a big fan of coconut but I liked their Coconut Milk Swirl. First, the texture was very pleasing: smooth, dense, creamy, thick. It tasted like coconut of course and it was mellow and not super sweet.

The flavor that I really wish I had tried but didn’t was offered by Pinkberry New England. They partnered with Boston chef Tiffani Faison to create a sweet corn frozen yogurt with blueberry compote and a brown sugar buttermilk crumble.

Flan didn't make the cut (crying inside).
