Yogurtland Eagle Rock Now Offers Froyo & Ice Cream Sandwiches, Other Developments

Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland Eagle Rock just added something new to the grab & go freezer, froyo and ice cream sandwiches. These look like they were made by the store employees. They used large OREO cookie wafers and sandwiched froyo and soft serve ice cream in the middle. The sandwiches are just $2.50 each. I saw three flavors: cookies & cream froyo, vanilla ice cream, and chocolate ice cream. The sandwiches are individually wrapped in clear plastic bags.

I also noticed that this and other Yogurtland locations have run out of Yogurtland spoons and are offering generic spoons instead. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen that happen.

Also, Yogurtland locations are not selling physical gift cards because they’re switching to another gift card system. You can still buy Yogurtland egift cards though.

NEW Jeni’s Frozen Dessert Sandwiches, Exclusively at Whole Foods

Fro-yo girl here. Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams recently released three new frozen dessert sandwiches, and they’re available exclusively at Whole Foods. Two of the three sandwiches feature froyo!

The sandwiches are:

• Mint Chocolate Truffle: Palate-cooling peppermint cream with dark chocolate cookies
• Key Lime Pie: Tropical, tart, and uber creamy key lime with graham cracker cookies (contains yogurt)
• Triple Berry Tart: Sweet-tart and ultra-lush purple berry cream with chocolate cookies (contains yogurt)

One box contains three individually wrapped sandwiches. The MRSP is $7.99. Each sandwich is 3.5 fl oz. I found all three sandwich varieties at Whole Foods in Pasadena, CA. They were on sale for $7.19/box.

Key Lime Pie: This was my favorite sandwich. Key lime pie is one of my favorite flavors and this one delivered on the tart key lime flavor that I love. In fact, I’d say that the flavor was very tangy and you could really taste the lime. The texture of the froyo was creamy and not too soft or too hard. The graham cracker cookies were soft and tasty. The combination of the cookies with the tart key lime froyo also really worked. And I liked the size – not too tiny but not huge. One sandwich is 210 calories, 8g total fat, 34 total carbs, 19g total sugars, and 3g protein. 5 out of 5 stars.

Triple Berry Tart: This sandwich was good but I didn’t enjoy the cookie/froyo combination as much and the froyo wasn’t as tangy, even though there was less sugar than the key lime pie sandwich. The froyo is made with blackberries, blueberries, and red raspberries and the chocolate cookie was soft. The tartness was mild but the berry ice cream was creamy, rich, and fruit-forward. One sandwich was 210 calories, 9g total fat, 32g total carbs, 17g total sugars, and 4g protein. 4 out of 5 stars.

I remember when Jeni’s used to have macaroon and cookie ice cream sandwiches. Haven’t seen any of those for years, unfortunately. They were so good! I'm thrilled to see that Jeni's has new froyo sandwiches.

NEW Yasso Frozen Greek Yogurt Sandwiches Review

Fro-yo girl here. New Yasso products always seem to take awhile to arrive at my local Target (in Southern California). I started looking for Yasso’s new Frozen Greek Yogurt sandwiches as soon as I read about the launch in late October 2020. I checked a few Target locations in person – no luck.

The sandwiches feature Greek froyo wedged between two soft chocolate cookies and are available exclusively at Target. The retail suggested price is $5.99/pack. A pack contains four sandwiches. Each sandwich is individually wrapped and the wrappers have cute sayings.

I had pretty much given up on finding the Frozen Greek Yogurt sandwiches until a recent search on the Target app revealed that the new Sunset Blvd. (Los Angeles) location actually has them in stock. The other 20+ locations near me do not have them in stock.

It turns out that the Target on Sunset Blvd. just opened in late October 2020, after 13 years. Yes, it took 13 years for that Target location to open. But the good news is that it’s huge and has Yasso products that other Target locations do not carry. It also has amazing views of the Hollywood Hills, including the Hollywood sign and the Yogurtland across the street.

Target Sunset had Yasso Mint Chocolate Chip and Vanilla Bean sandwiches for $6.49/box (the Target price online is $5.29). Okay, so Target Sunset is more expensive. The sandwiches are small (3 fl oz) and 100 – 120 calories each. They’re made with real Greek yogurt, no artificial or high intensity sweeteners, and live and active cultures.

Mint Chocolate Chip Sandwich: It’s described as mint frozen Greek yogurt and chocolate flavored chips wedged between two soft chocolate wafers. The cookies were similar to the kind that I associate with ice cream sandwiches – soft and they tend to stick to your fingers. Sure enough, Yasso’s cookies stuck to my fingers. The filling was enjoyable – their mint froyo is refreshing, firm, and creamy and I liked the additional texture of the tiny chocolate flecks, aka chocolate flavored chips. However, their 2017 froyo sandwiches had a better cookie (firmer, like Oreos), so I liked those better than the 2020 version. One cookie sandwich is 120 calories, 2g total fat, 21g total carbs, 12g total sugars and 4g protein.

Vanilla Bean Sandwich: The froyo was a little softer than the mint chocolate chip. It was creamy and had a strong vanilla flavor with lots of visible vanilla bean specks. The soft chocolate cookie was the same as the kind used in the Mint Chocolate Chip sandwich. The Oreo style cookie from Yasso 2017 was better tasting and had a better texture. One cookie sandwich is 100 calories, 1.5g total fat, 20g total carbs and 11g total sugars.

Available flavors: Mint Chocolate Chip, Vanilla Bean, Peanut Butter

4 out of 5 stars.

Menchie’s March Feature Flavors: Simply Mango Sorbet and Lemon Oreo Frozen Yogurt

Fro-yo girl here. Menchie’s has two new feature flavors for March, Simply Mango Sorbet and Lemon Oreo frozen yogurt. Both are available for a limited time.

Simply Mango Sorbet is made with 5 ingredients: mango puree, sugar, lemon juice, water, and pectin. It tasted less sweet and less processed than their other sorbets. Mango is a sweet fruit, so it was still sweet, but not overly so. Since it’s dairy free and nonfat, the texture was icier, but not unpleasantly so. Recommended toppings: Strawberries, mango, granola.

Lemon Oreo frozen yogurt is made with Lemon Oreo cookies and it contains no artificial colors. It’s lowfat. I’ve never had Lemon Oreos before. The yogurt tasted like the sweet lemon cream filling of a lemon sandwich cookie. I found it pretty sweet but pleasant and creamy. Recommended toppings: Nilla Wafers, yogurt chips, Cool Whip.

Menchie’s also introduced Treats to Go, featuring 3 kinds of fruit bars and 2 kinds of fro-yo sandwiches. I bought both and will report back soon.
