I’m not sure how prevalent they are in the States, but go to pretty much any mall in Canada, and you’ll find a Yogen Fruz. For the uninitiated, they sell frozen yogurt, usually mixed in with some sort of fruit. It’s not bad, if you like that sort of thing.
A pack of Yogen Fruz Smoothies consists of 36 (yes – they’re that precise) crunchy pieces of fruity candy. I’m not sure why, but when I bought this I was sort of assuming that they’d be chewy, like jelly beans. They’re actually more like Sweetarts or Pez – crunchy, with a grainy consistency.
They’re good. The flavour I bought was Blueberry Breeze (there’s also Tropical Storm and Strawberry-Banana – I’ll have to try those at some point). They’re not nearly as sweet as something like Pez, with a strongly sour, fruity taste. They don’t really taste like blueberries per se; it’s more of a general berry flavour. There’s also the yogurt (which is definitely in there – it’s the second ingredient), but I’m not sure if it adds too much to the flavour of the candy. I guess it’s overpowered by the tartness of the berry.
Despite the lack of any sort of yogurt flavour (which is kind of odd for a candy released by a frozen yogurt chain), these are not bad at all. They make for a refreshing midday snack.

I love em. Don’t know what you mean that you can’t taste the yogurt – it’s the most prominent tone after the fruit. I buy these by the case – first candy I have enjoyed in ten years. Too bad I can’t find them but in one store in all of Houston (they don’t have the Yogen Fruz stores here), so I’m going to have to start buying online.
I love these things.. the Tropical Storm is my favorite.. I bought them as a gag gift from my brother, who just bought a Yogen Fruz franchise in NY, but now I am addicted. Do you know where I can buy these on line?? Mike, Yogen Fruz will be in TX in no time.. they are spreading like wildfire!! If you ever vist NY we have one in the Pallisaded Center Mall, and are working on one in Time Square and in the Gared state Plaza in Nj
Stop on by!!
