‘ndulge Greek Yogurt Bars Review





Fro-yo girl here. I found ‘ndulge Greek Yogurt Bars during a recent trip to Sprouts. The line of Greek yogurt bars is new to Sprouts. Each box has three full-size (3 fl oz) bars. A box is $9.99, regular price.

The bars are individually wrapped. Each bar has 10g of protein and is 160 calories or less. The bars are made with milk and cream and have live and active probiotic cultures.

Vanilla Almond bar: The milk chocolate coating wasn’t as crispy as usual. It was softer and fudgier. It mostly tasted like milk chocolate because the vanilla yogurt interior had little flavor. It did not taste like yogurt. I didn’t like the texture of the chocolate coating or the taste. It had a lingering sweetness from the use of monk fruit extract. If you look at the picture on the box, it has a lot more almond pieces than the actual bar. One bar is 160 calories, 11g total fat, 8g total carbs, 3g total sugars, and 10g protein.

The box says that you should let the product thaw for 5 minutes before enjoying. I didn’t read that suggestion till after I ate the bar.

Available flavors: Salted Caramel Almond, Chocolate Caramel Cookie, Vanilla Almond, Mint Chip, Chocolate Fudge Chip

2.5 out of 5 stars.

New Yasso Spoonables Review

 






Fro-yo girl here. Yasso just launched Spoonables, aka spoonable frozen Greek yogurt tubs. The Spoonables line is available exclusively at Target and will roll out nationwide in 2026. At Target in Pasadena, Yasso tubs were $5.89 each, regular price.

Each Yasso tub has up to 18g of protein and 410 calories. One container is 14 fl oz (smaller than a true pint). It’s lowfat and gluten-free. There is no mention of live and active cultures or probiotics.

Coffee Chocolate Chip: The coffee flavor is strong, but tastes like a bitter instant coffee. It doesn’t taste like good coffee. Also, it doesn’t have any yogurt flavor. But Coffee Chocolate Chip does remind me of coffee ice cream without being as rich and heavy. Yasso was still creamy and spoonable. The best part was the addition of the small chocolatey flakes. One container is 400 calories. One 2/3 cup serving is 150 calories, 3g fat, 19g sugars, and 7g protein.

Available Spoonable flavors: Fudge Brownie, Coffee Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Mint Chocolate Chip, Cookies ‘n Cream. The Spoonable flavors are also available as Yasso bars.

For best results, thaw for five minutes before serving. If you don’t love it, you can get a refund

Yasso first introduced pints in 2018, available in eight flavors. Back then, the tub was actually 16 fl oz, a real pint.

4 out of 5 stars.

All the Current Froyo Offerings at Ralphs

 





Fro-yo girl here. I visited the Ralphs near LACMA to check out their froyo selection. It’s a larger Ralphs store. These are the froyo products that I spotted:

  • Jeni’s Ice Cream pints: While most of Jeni’s produces mostly ice cream, the Lemon & Blueberries Parfait is made with fresh cultured buttermilk and yogurt. That’s frozen yogurt.
  • Simple Truth YoGreek Greek Frozen Yogurt Bars: Simple Truth is Ralph’s private label. YoGreek bars are their answer to Whole Foods Greek froyo bars. There are four bars per box.
  • Yasso: Ralphs carried Yasso Greek yogurt bars, including the chocolate-dipped varieties. They also carried Yasso Poppables, the bite size, chocolate-covered Greek froyo treats, and the froyo sandwiches.

With three brands of froyo, Ralphs has fewer froyo brands as Bristol Farms and the same number as Whole Foods and Vons.

Chara Froyo Review

 




Fro-yo girl here. Chara Froyo is a new Greek frozen yogurt brand that's currently available in Los Angeles. Launched in June 2025, Chara Froyo has been available at a few pop-ups and a bus that they park in Abbot Kinney Blvd. in Venice. You can also get Chara Froyo at Farmshop LA in Santa Monica. 

Chara Froyo is high protein, sweetened with agave and maple syrup, probiotic, lactose free, and made with California milk.

When I visited Farmshop, I found two flavors: Chocolate and Berries & Cream. One pint was $12. Unfortunately, due to the usual crazy Westside traffic, my pint melted on the way home. I overestimated the ability of my cooler and ice packs.

Berries & Cream froyo: The texture wasn’t dense and hard but light and creamy. The flavor was similar to a good lowfat strawberry ice cream. However, it was too sweet with almost no yogurt tang. If you told me that it was a light ice cream, I would not question it. Why can’t it taste like yogurt? One serving (2/3 cup) is 120 calories, 4g total fat, 19g total carbs, 17g total sugars, and 9g protein.

Available flavors:

  • Plain tarte
  • Berries & cream
  • Chocolate
  • Mint chip

I hope to try Plain Tarte one day.

All the Current Froyo Offerings at Vons Pasadena

 





Fro-yo girl here. I visited the Vons in the Orangewood Center in Pasadena, CA, to check their froyo selection. These are the froyo products that I spotted:

  • Signature Select Frozen Yogurt: Signature Select is Vons private label. There were a few flavors to choose from, including Vanilla, Black Cherry Fudge, Chocolate Chip Black Cherry, etc. Sold in 1.5 quarts, these are family-sized containers that are meant to be a healthier alternative to ice cream
  • Sweetkiwi Greek Frozen Yogurt tubs: for yogurt lovers, this is one of the few products that doesn’t mask the flavor of the yogurt. Sweetkiwi whipped Greek froyo is rich in probiotics, fiber, and immune-boosting superfoods and it's low in calories.
  • Yasso: Vons carried Yasso Greek yogurt bars, including the chocolate dipped varieties. They also carried Yasso Poppables, the bite size, chocolate-covered Greek froyo treats.

With three brands of froyo, Vons has fewer froyo brands as Bristol Farms and the same number as Whole Foods.

Mavens Creamery Tart Yogurt Review

 





Fro-yo girl here. Mavens Creamery has been busy this year taking their new Asian ice cream flavors to different Costco locations. You can also buy the ice cream from the online Asian grocer, Weee! for $9.29 each. A container is 14 fl oz.

Tart yogurt: This yogurt ice cream is inspired by Vietnamese da ua (yogurt). Vietnamese yogurt is typically a blend of yogurt and condensed milk that’s cooked in a pot. I love the tang and richness of da ua, though it is quite sweet. Mavens version has live and active cultures. It does taste like yogurt, and it reminds me of da ua. It is tangy and creamy with a sweet aftertaste. It isn’t sour. The texture isn’t as hard and dense as some prepacked ice cream. It was a bit too sweet for me, but I did enjoy it. I’m going to add some tart fruit to it. One serving (2/3 cup) is 250 calories, 14g total fat, 23g total sugars, 25g total carbs, and 7g protein.

Mavens Creamery ice cream is all-natural and made with no high fructose corn syrup.

Available flavors: durian, avocado, matcha, Thai tea, Earl grey, tart yogurt, pandan coconut, black sesame, passion fruit mango

The flavor selection varies by location. If you’ve been looking, you know that it’s hard to find tart froyo for sale in a supermarket.

Use Mavens Creamery store finder to find stockists near you.

All the Current Froyo Offerings at Whole Foods Pasadena

 






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.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

All the Current Froyo Offerings at Gelson’s

 






Fro-yo girl here. Gelson’s in La Canada Flintridge, CA, always has a great froyo and ice cream selection. During my recent visit, I spotted the following froyo products:

  • Sweetkiwi tubs: for yogurt lovers, this is one of the few products that doesn’t mask the flavor of the yogurt. Sweetkiwi whipped Greek froyo is rich in probiotics, fiber, and immune-boosting superfoods, and it's low in calories.
  • Yasso bars: Gelson’s had Yasso’s Greek yogurt bars, Poppables, and the froyo sandwiches too. The chocolate-dipped crunch bars are my favorite Yasso product.
  • Enlightened Greek Yogurt Bars: Enlightened’s frozen Greek yogurt bars are low in sugar and contain prebiotics and probiotics. The bars are sweetened with monkfruit.

With three brands of froyo, Gelson’s has fewer froyo brands than Bristol Farms and the same number as Whole Foods, Ralph’s, and Vons.

All the Current Froyo Offerings at Bristol Farms

 







Fro-yo girl here. During my recent trip to Bristol Farms in South Pasadena, CA, I realized that I had never seen so many froyo products for sale. Frozen yogurt is back! Here’s a look at what froyo products they’re currently selling:

  • Kri Kri Greek frozen yogurt tubs and bars: Kri Kri is a Greek dairy company. The products that they’re selling in the US are made in Greece with Greek dairy. They were introduced to the US recently. Link to review. There are four bars/lollies/pops per box. The Greek froyo bars have a fruit coating and a fruit ripple. 
  • Wild About Mixmi Froyo: individual-sized froyo cups sold in boxes, the size and nutritional content make these popular at schools. The froyo cups have probiotics and prebiotic fiber.
  • Enlightened Greek yogurt bars: the low calorie and low sugar bars contain 3 grams of added sugar, 5 grams of protein, prebiotics, and probiotics. Each bar is 80 calories.
  • Jeni’s frozen dessert sandwiches: Two varieties are made with froyo, key lime pie and triple berry tart. The cookies and the froyo are superior to your typical frozen dessert sandwiches.
  • Sweetkiwi tubs: for yogurt lovers, this is one of the few products that doesn’t mask the flavor of the yogurt. Sweetkiwi whipped Greek froyo is rich in probiotics, fiber, and immune-boosting superfoods and it's low in calories.
  • Yasso bars: I first reviewed Yasso’s Greek yogurt bars back in 2012. They’re still around and have introduced many flavors and variations over the years (pints, cookie sandwiches, Greek froyo mochi). I like their chocolate dipped bars, which Bristol Farms currently carries.

Yes, I’ve tried them all. The Jeni’s key lime pie sandwiches are my current favorite but I would also recommend Sweetkiwi’s Smurf Berry tubs and Yasso chocolate dipped bars.

Kri Kri Greek Frozen Yogurt Review

 





Fro-yo girl here. Kri Kri, a Greek dairy company established in 1954, introduced its Greek frozen yogurt products to the United States in late 2024. The products come from Kri Kri’s production plant in Northern Greece and are made with 100% Greek dairy. Kri Kri starts with farm-fresh dairy to make its yogurt. The yogurt is strained and made into frozen yogurt. It contains live yogurt cultures.

I found Kri Kri’s Greek yogurt products at Bristol Farms in South Pasadena. The 15.2 fl oz tubs were $6.49 each ($7.99 regular price), and the bars (one box contains four bars) were $8.99, (regular price $10.99).

Plain Greek frozen yogurt: The froyo looked and smelled good, i.e., it smelled like yogurt. The texture was airy, making it easily scoopable. The texture was awful because of the grittiness. It was more than just a little gritty. It was the grittiest frozen yogurt that I’ve ever had. Flavor-wise, it tasted like yogurt but had too much sugar. There was some tang though.

One serving is 2/3 cup, 170 calories, 4.5g total fat, 29g total carbs, 26g total sugars, and 4g protein. The main ingredients are skim milk, Greek yogurt, sugar, and cream.

Kri Kri's fruit-flavored frozen yogurt is made with sour cherry, salted caramel, or honey syrup. The Greek frozen yogurt sticks (e.g., bars, popsicles) have a fruit coating and fruit ripple. The other flavors have even more sugar than the Plain Greek frozen yogurt.

Available pint flavors: Plain, Hazelnut, Peach, Sour Cherry

Available bar flavors: Strawberry, Peach, Cherry

Walls Mango & Yogurt Mini Ice Cones Review

 





Fro-yo girl here. 99 Ranch Market in Arcadia and Alhambra just started carrying Walls Mini Ice (Cream) Cones imported from China. A box of 10 individually wrapped cones is $10.99. One box is 200g. I only saw one yogurt flavor, but I later realized that only half the cones in the box are yogurt-flavored. The other five cones are mango-flavored.

The cones look like Walls' (a Unilever brand) iconic Cornetto ice cream cone, but these are mini-sized versions. The mini ice cream cone is about 4 inches long. A box of 10 cones (5 of each flavor) is 200g. One cone is 54 calories, 2.5g fat, and 0.5g protein.

Yogurt flavored with mango gelee cone: The mango gelee is way too sweet but there isn’t too much of it. The frozen yogurt is creamy, airy, and smooth. It was less sweet than the typical ice cream but bland and not tangy. Thankfully, it doesn’t taste like Yakult. The sugar cone was soft and filled with chocolate. Because the cone is so small, it wasn’t too bad. I wouldn’t want to eat a full-sized version though.

Mango flavored ice cream with mango gelee cone: The mango ice cream was sweet and the mango gelee made it even sweeter. It tasted like mango candy, so it was pleasant but very sweet. The sugar cone was also soft and filled with chocolate.

I spotted other flavors: vanilla and chocolate, rose and white peach, blueberry and strawberry. Each box comes with two ice cream flavors.

3 out of 5 stars.

Lotte Sou Ohto & Hakuto Yogurt Review

 






Fro-yo girl here. On a recent visit to Marukai Market in Little Tokyo, I found Lotte Sou Onto & Hakuto Yogurt, a frozen yogurt product imported from Japan. One 6.25 fl oz package was $2.59. On the back, it was labeled as sherbet. The ingredients didn’t mention yogurt or live and active cultures.

It looks like a container of yogurt but it says keep frozen, so I assume it’s meant to be eaten frozen. The yogurt ice cream/sherbet contains 5% yellow peach juice and fruit and 5% white peach juice.

Lotte Sou Ohto & Hakuto Yogurt: It was white in color. The texture was gritty like bits of ice and there were tiny pieces of yellow peaches. There was a cream aftertaste. It didn’t taste like yogurt and the peach flavor was faint. It was sweet but not tangy. I didn’t like the texture and the blandness.

One serving is 150 calories, 5g total fat, 24g total carbs, 24g total sugars, and 1g protein.

3 out of 5 stars.

365 Whole Foods Market Organic Gingerbread Greek Yogurt Bars




Fro-yo girl here. I just found 365 Whole Foods Market Organic Gingerbread Greek Yogurt Bars at the Whole Foods in Pasadena. A box is 10 fl oz and contains four individually wrapped bars.

A box of Gingerbread Geek Yogurt Bars is $4.99 regular price.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had 365 Whole Foods Greek yogurt bars. I don’t think they’ve introduced a new flavor for a long time or they did and I didn’t notice it.

Gingerbread Greek Yogurt Bars: The bar is a pale light brown color with darker brown swirls in the center. I liked how it was light, creamy, and quite spiced. I could taste the molasses too. It wasn’t crazy sweet. I wasn’t expecting it to be that strongly spiced. It didn’t taste like yogurt.

One bar is 90 calories with 1g of total fat, 15g total carbs, 12g of sugar, and 4g of protein.

Nestle 8Cube: Orange Yogurt Flavor Review

 





Fro-yo girl here. I spotted Nestle’s 8Cube bite-size ice cream at 99 Ranch Market in Arcadia, the Shops at Santa Anita location They had several flavors, including strawberry, green grape & bergamot, chocolate, root beer, and orange yogurt. A 2.96 oz package contains 8 cubes and was priced at $3.49 each. These ice cream novelties are imported from China.

Orange yogurt flavor: The eight cubes come in a tray. The exterior is a thin white chocolate shell with small bits of crunchy biscuit crumbs. The interior was a creamy white/yogurt flavored ice cream. I couldn’t taste the yogurt but the orange shell was tangy and the treat wasn’t super sweet. The ice cream was pretty plain and the shell didn’t have much orange flavor either. Bottom line – it was bland but not unpleasant.

Orange Yogurt cubes are made with milk powder and whey powder but no yogurt. It contains no active cultures. One serving (two cubes) is 60 calories, 3.5g total fat, 7g total carbs. 5g total sugars, and less than 1 g of protein.

Aldi Half-Dipped Mint Chip Yogurt Bars Review

 




Fro-yo girl here. Aldi just introduced Half Dipped Mint Chip Yogurt Bars (yes, there’s only one flavor). A box comes with four individually wrapped yogurt bars. A box is $3.69.

One bar is 2.65 fl oz and has 100 calories, 6g total fat, 15g total carbs, 9g total sugars, and 2g protein. It’s sweetened with allulose, sugar, tapioca syrup, cultured whey, erythritol, stevia, and monk fruit. Wow, that’s a lot of different sweeteners!

Half-Dipped Mint Chip Yogurt Bars: The mint froyo is white with little chocolate flecks. The chocolate shell is thin, sweet, and crispy. The shell was quite nice. The yogurt part is soft, creamy, and light, almost whipped in texture. It melts fast. The peppermint flavor is very strong and also slightly bitter. I like mint but I thought the mint flavor was too strong to the point of being harsh.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

3.5 out of 5 stars.
