Noosa Out of this Swirl Lemon Bar

[New for Early 2023] So Noosa disappearing from a bunch of local grocery store chains had me pretty sure that it was gonna be one and done from them. Then a reader saw 3 new flavors and soon enough I did too. I left the new minty one on the shelf and the cookies & cream flavor is still downstairs, which means we are going to check out the third new flavor.

Noosa Sea Salt Caramel Frozen Yogurt Gelato

[New for 2022] Man, these other two Noosa flavors have been sitting in the freezer forever (I think I bought them in March (of 2022)) >>> I thought maybe Noosa Gelato was going away, but after a comment from May, we now know that there at least three flavors debuting in 2023 including a Lemon Bar flavor. Well, before any more time passes, let's give a quick look at...

Noosa Frozen Yogurt Gelato

[New for 2022] Remember when froyo was all the rage? Yogurt companies like Dannon, Yoplait and Stonyfield all tried to jump on the bandwagon, and where did it get them? Nowhere.... but that was several years ago and there's a whole new breed of yogurt companies out there like Chobani, Siggi's and Noosa. Will Noosa learn from past mistakes? Let's find out.

Yasso Vanilla Chocolate Crunch Bars

[New for 2020] Continuing on my little blast of grabbing anything that said new, let's review a product type (Greek Froyo) that I havent had in almost five years but also something from a company I haven't had in 6 years (Yasso). Boy times flies.....

Outshine Strawberry Yogurt & Granola

[New for 2018] You know the best part about today's review? it was on sale.... to be specific, the three bucks I plopped down is pretty much the most you would want to pay for this, and even then, it might be a bit much. Let's take a look at....

Kemps JoyFULL Scoops Frozen Yogurt

[New for 2018] It's been a tough week and a long day, so let's do a quick post. Kemps, the midwest folks who seem to put out a new froyo every six months, have merged their froyo love with the current annoying trend of replacement sugar in products to bring down the calorie count. Sorry, you know the sugar replacement trend bugs me more than it should.

JoyFULL Scoops sounds like Lovin Scoopful and Sweet Scoops decided to team up.

I thought the packaging was fairly catchy which is a good thing because I was not expecting to find Kemp's at my local Price Chopper. There were four flavors in all. Mint Chocolate Chip, Sea Salt Caramel, Chocolate Peanut Butter, and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. I was just about to grab that last when I decided to read the ingredients...

Yup, Erythritol and Monk Fruit Extract. No thanks. Nevermind. Look, if you prefer these two over splenda or calories, that's fine by me, that's why I'm pointing these out incase they grab your attention. The poor Yo2 lineup didn't last very long (reviews here and here) so we'll see if this line has better luck. If you wind up trying these, please leave your thoughts in the comments.

Good night! More new stuff tomorrow!

Edy's Cake & Cookie Fantasy Frozen Yogurt

[2017-2018] While Edy's (Dreyer's) first release this year was those three limited (and underwhelming) cookie dough flavors, they appear to have now added 4 more permanent froyo flavors. A line up that gets little love suddenly gets four new flavors. Did someone go "let's distract them while we quietly yank the frozen custard line up from existence"? Whatever the reason, we now have Caramel Praline Perfection (almonds), Peanut Butter Overload (peanuts), Salted Caramel Pretzel (potentially cross contaminated), and the only one safe to bring home:

Kemp's Raspberry Cheesecake Yo2 Frozen Yogurt

[Debuted 2016, switched to paper pints late 2018] So the other day I posted my first run in with the new Yo2 (Yo²) lineup from Kemps. After my first scooping of that flavor, I had the kind of mixed feelings that can really only be settled by trying the same product but in a different flavor.

Kemp's Salted Caramel Cookie Crunch Yo2

[Debut 2016, switched to paper pints late 2018]
So Kemps has decided to launch a new frozen yogurt line at the end of 2016. This is not the most common thing to do, especially if you consider that Kemps already has two other froyo lines. Maybe they are trying to get a jump on 2017 or maybe they... I have no idea why really. Whatever it is, they've got this new "flavor squared" lineup called Yo² and it's coming to a Wegmans or other grocery store near you. It's got a fancy clear design to show off its plentiful swirl. There are six flavors in all, I picked up two of them, and we're going to start with...

Open Nature Cherry Greek Frozen Yogurt

So who wants to read a half baked review from June? No one? Well, blame the ice cream companies and all their early season nonsense. I am bored out of my ice cream mind right now with how little is going on. Sure I could have grabbed a smashburger peppermint shake today but I already know it will be awesome (and why are BK and Arby's still serving up pumpkin shakes?). Just about every seasonal flavor out right now is a repeat from last year. BORED I tell you, BORED. I think I've spent half of the last three months eating nothing but all natural Turkey Hill (I know it sounds like they pay me to say that, but it's true, I really have been eating a ton of it, I just bought another one tonight.... maybe if I keep bringing it up then they'll treat us all to an expanded line up next year!). Anyway, here's the review (with a "surprise" ending).

Hood Raspberry Crunch Lowfat Frozen Yogurt

[By Nick] Time for a new product that isn't all that new. Remember Hood's Greek froyo line? Well, they killed that this year. However, for those who liked that line, there's some good news. The raspberry granola flavor has now be reborn into their regular froyo line. Let's skip the semantics and see how this one compares to its fallen comrade.

Dannon OIKOS Cookies & Cream Greek Frozen Yogurt

[2015-2016] Alright, our next review subject has been sitting in the freezer for... iunno, 4 months maybe? I bought it because I was having trouble getting in the mood for his minty cousin (which has been sitting in the freezer for like 7 months now). Well, I went downstairs to grab some Ben & Jerry's but instead I grabbed.....

Kemps Frozen Yogurt Shop Vanilla Salted Caramel

[New for 2015] With four new Kemps Froyo Shop flavors available, we've already covered C&C and PB Cup, so let's dig in to the "trendy" one.

[By Nick, New for 2015] ‎Dubba has already covered one of these fancy new froyos from Kemp so it's my turn to see what they're all about. He took the most appealing option to me but hey, I'm all for reviewing something when peanut butter is involved.

Kemp's Frozen Yogurt Shop Cookies 'n Cream

[New for 2015] We've tried Kemps froyo on the blog a few times over the years, but now there is a new frozen yogurt shop lineup that kind of looks like Breyers gelato and comes in four flavors. We've got peanut butter cup, vanilla salted caramel, raspberry and chocolate, and....

Sweet Scoops Peanut Butter Bliss Frozen Yogurt

[By Nick, New for early 2015] ‎It's been awhile since Sweet Scoops has been on the blog. They've been around for awhile but they're making some moves this year. They've redesigned their packaging, added more seasonal flavors and even have a few limited edition flavors planned. The kind folks at Sweets Scoops offered to send me some of their products to review so let's start with their latest limited edition flavor.

Hood Berry Chocolate Crumble Low Fat Frozen Yogurt

[New for 2014] It's no secret that both me and Nick are huge fans of Cookies & Cream. It's just so classic and perfect and we both love trying new versions. The problem is that despite a few exceptions, there's no creativity in this space. How hard is it to add cookies to pretty much any base flavor and not get a winner out of it? Now this next flavor isn't a straight C&C flavor, but how can I say to to a berry base with a cookie swirl? I can't, plain and simple.

Turkey Hill Sea Salt Caramel Truffle Greek Froyo

[limited run in 2014 (Oct-Dec)] See, I was just trying to lure Nick into a false sense of security about our Turkey Hill competition. This limited edition container puts me at 6 vs 7  and I just need to find one random hidden container of Turkey Hill to rob him of his victory.... but at what cost?

Kemps Denali Peppermint Bark Moose Tracks FroYo

[By Nick, New for 2014] This might be one of the products I've been most looking forward to trying this year. Ever since Moose Tracks announced they would be offering this recipe back in the Summer to companies to produce, I've been on the lookout for potential brands to make it. Honestly, I wasn't expecting it to find it as a frozen yogurt let alone Kemp's being the only one in my area to produce it. I mean I've seen their normal frozen yogurts around me for years and Dubba has reviewed some of them. I didn't know they released limited editions and wasn't expecting any place near me to carry them. That was until I stumbled into a random Shop Rite and saw this flavor next to their other limited edition, Cinnamon (that I passed up on). Knowing I wasn't going to be near a freezer though, I knew I had to come back and claim my prize.
