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.

Fro-yo girl here. Tutti Frutti Montebello quietly closed during the pandemic. Then in September 2023, Froyology took over the space. The décor and the machines were the same, but the Tutti Frutti signs had been removed.
Well, Tutti Frutti is back, and the Froyology signs have been removed. The interior still looks the same. They added fresh juices and acai bowls. Twelve froyo flavors were available. Froyo and toppings are $0.97/oz, cheaper than Froyology and Yogurtland at The Shops at Montebello.
It seems like the change occurred around July 2024.
If you blinked, you might have noticed that Froyology existed for a few months. FYI, Yogurtland Montebello is now charging $1.13/oz. Ouch.

Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland celebrated Back to the Future Day today, with Back to the Future 40th anniversary sticker sheets. Each sticker sheet has eight stickers, including the Delorean, Marty’s skateboard, Back to the Future license plate, Yogurtland spoon, etc. Ask the cashier for the sticker sheets. They’re free.
October 21 is Back to the Future Day because it’s the date that Doc Brown and Marty McFly arrive in the future in Back to the Future Part II. If you show up in a BTTF Doc Brown or Marty McFly costume on 10/21, you can enjoy 30% off your Yogurtland purchase.
I tried the new topping, Doc’s Churro Bites. These are bite size cinnamon sugar donut holes. They’re soft and so good! Get some if you see them.

Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland is celebrating the 40th anniversary of Back to the Future with a new nostalgic fall flavor. Great Scott! Caramel Apple Pie froyo launched today. It’s made with real apples, shortbread, and cinnamon. I don’t like apple pie, so I was skeptical. Fortunately, the flavor was mellow and enjoyable. I tasted the buttery caramel but it wasn’t too strong. The apple flavor is mild too. It’s mellow enough to go with many flavors. The texture was smooth, rich, ad creamy. Recommended toppings: Cinnamon Toast Crunch, whipped cream, almonds.
The flavor is available for a limited time, through November 30, or while supplies last. The location that I went to did not have Doc’s Churro Bites, the BTTF promotional topping. I did learn that they’re going to start giving out BTTF Yogurtland sticker sheets tomorrow.
October 21 is Back to the Future Day because it’s the date that Doc Brown and Marty McFly arrive in the future in Back to the Future Part II. Show up in a BTTF Doc Brown or Marty McFly costume on 10/21 and enjoy 30% off your purchase.
Save the date for Fan Appreciation Day, October 27. Yogurtland wlll offer double points to Real Rewards members and a BOGO free deal.
Yogurtland introduced Caramel Apple froyo back in 2016 as part of the Trolls promo. Caramel Apple Pie is a different and better flavor.

new SWRLIES trailer
Fro-yo girl here. Fro-Yo Girl Speaks turns seventeen today, and I’m taking a moment to reflect on the year in froyo so far. There’s been much talk about the resurgence of froyo, particularly among Gen Z. I do see that Yogurtland on Lake in Pasadena is usually busy at night, and I’ve been surprised by the groups of teens who visit Pinkberry after school without their parents. Most of my froyo friends rarely get froyo these days.
I'm a regular at Yogurtland, Menchie's, Pinkberry, and Yoga-urt. I also like to get froyo from Pita GR, Go Greek, and Anita Gelato.
I’ve tried five brand new froyo shops and trailers this year, fewer than this time last year. These were Go Greek Newport Beach, Nick the Greek North Hollywood (not a froyo shop, but serves Greek froyo), SWRLIES in Highland Park, Golden Spoon in Laguna Beach, and Neptune’s Frozen Treats in Palos Verdes Estates. I made it to one opening day (not the grand opening, though) for Neptune’s Frozen Treats in Rancho Palos Verdes. There have been other new froyo shops, but they’ve mostly been in the OC and San Diego.
I’ve collected eight new froyo spoons (vs. nine last year).
I haven’t been on any froyo trips this year, but I’m heading somewhere next month for froyo. I also went to Vancouver, Canada, last December and had some excellent froyo at Krave Kulture and Killer Ice Cream.
While there haven’t been that many froyo shop openings in Los Angeles County, I did find lots of new froyo at supermarkets, including Chara Greek froyo, Le Zette (sheep’s milk froyo), TruJoy (Greek froyo), and Kri Kri (imported from Greece). Yasso even brought back their spoonable pints.
Salt & Straw came out with Wildflower Honey & Lemon Chess Pie Froyo this summer. I could barely taste the lemon, and there wasn’t much tang, so I was disappointed.
Cantaloop and Frog Frozen Yogurt closed after 17 and 13 years in Hollywood, respectively.

Fro-yo girl here. I visited Menchie’s Eagle Rock and saw several signs saying that they do not offer samples. In the past, they left sample cups on a tray near the machines. I was told that the amount of sampling abuse (people visiting to get samples without any intention of making a purchase) led to the change in sampling policy.
It’s a shame. They should have the employees dispense the samples and maybe limit the number of samples you can get.
Yogurtland Eagle Rock also does not allow sampling. Sad times.

Fro-yo girl here. Neptune’s Frozen Treats had a soft opening today, October 17, in Palos Verdes Estates. The shop is family-owned and run by a mom and her daughter. It’s their first shop, and I think the first froyo shop in Palos Verdes Estates. I’ve never been to Palos Verdes Estates before, probably because it didn’t have a froyo shop till today. It’s a gorgeous area by the beach, and the Malaga Cove shopping center looks like a European villa.
Neptune’s has a white and blue theme, inspired by the god of the sea. There are ten soft serve flavors a day (froyo, frozen custard, gelato, vegan (oat milk), and sorbet) and the flavors are thoughtfully paired to encourage you to use the middle handle. The signs also specify which flavors are gluten-free, vegan, lowfat, etc.
The beautiful toppings bar features lovely bowls and gold spoons. All the toppings are labeled with allergens listed (e.g., contains milk, soy, eggs). I spotted fresh fruit, brownies, cheesecake, cookies, mochi, cereal, granola, etc.
It’s $0.98/oz which isn’t too bad considering the area. Also, the shop was impeccably clean and the froyo texture superb. And you can sign up for rewards too. Note, the shop is cashless.
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
