Frozen yogurt is one of those treats that makes you feel good twice—once when you’re eating it, and again when you remember it’s not quite ice cream.
It’s cold, creamy, and just tart enough to feel like a dessert with a twist. But not all frozen yogurt is created equal, and some brands just don’t hit that sweet spot between flavor and feel.
This list ranks 15 frozen yogurt brands from the ones that miss the mark to the ones you’ll want to keep stashed in your freezer at all times.
15. Kroger Carbmaster
There’s a faint creaminess here, but it’s buried under artificial sweetness and a flat, overly thick texture. It’s trying to be health-conscious but loses the fun along the way.
The flavor finishes oddly, like a protein shake that forgot its own name. Even a generous topping of sprinkles can’t quite disguise the chalky bite.
14. Yasso Frozen Greek Yogurt
This one leans hard into the yogurt side of frozen yogurt, with a tang that can catch you off guard. The texture is a bit icy, and the sweetness feels overly balanced by acidity.
It works better as a novelty than a craving-buster. You taste the good intentions more than the joy.
13. Archer Farms Frozen Yogurt
The packaging promises gourmet flair, but what’s inside feels like a shortcut. The flavors are there—but muted, like a party with the volume turned down.
The texture lands between airy and icy, never quite melting the way you want it to. It’s decent but forgettable.
12. Halo Top Frozen Yogurt
This is diet-friendly froyo with a reputation, and it shows in the thin, almost whipped consistency. There’s sweetness, but it’s more of a synthetic hum than a satisfying richness.
It’s not unpleasant, just underwhelming. The kind of dessert that makes you wish you’d gone all-in on the real thing.
11. Open Nature Frozen Yogurt
This brand leans into clean ingredients but stumbles on flavor payoff. There’s a slight graininess to the texture that doesn’t quite melt smoothly.
The taste is mild, bordering on bland. You finish the bowl out of duty, not desire.
10. TCBY
A pioneer in the froyo game, but it feels like it’s coasting on legacy. The base is airy and light, but the flavor often feels mass-produced.
It’s nostalgia more than standout. TCBY is like the old friend you’re happy to see but don’t talk to every day.
9. Stonyfield Organic Frozen Yogurt
There’s a freshness here, like it actually started with real yogurt. But it’s a little too delicate for anyone craving a dessert that makes a statement.
The tang is pleasant, but the sweetness could use a boost. It’s wholesome, just not thrilling.
8. Great Value Frozen Yogurt
For a store brand, this one brings more than expected. The flavors are surprisingly balanced and the texture holds up to a second scoop.
It’s no luxury treat, but it doesn’t try to be. Dependable and a little better than you’d think.
7. Yoplait Whips Frozen Yogurt
Fluffy, mousse-like, and light as air—this one feels more like a frozen dessert than traditional froyo. Still, the texture is fun and the flavor is playfully sweet.
It melts fast but brings a bit of flair. Great for kids or anyone who likes dessert that’s more floaty than creamy.
6. Alden’s Organic Frozen Yogurt
Organic doesn’t always mean delicious, but here it comes pretty close. There’s an earthy, authentic creaminess that gives it a homemade feel.
The fruit flavors are especially bright. It tastes like it came from a farmer’s market freezer.
5. Trader Joe’s Frozen Yogurt
Balanced, tangy, and with a soft-serve swirl that feels straight from a neighborhood shop. The vanilla is clean and classic, the chocolate deep and smooth.
There’s an honesty in the ingredients and the taste. Trader Joe’s nails the simple pleasures.
4. Baskin-Robbins Frozen Yogurt
Creamier than you expect from froyo, and with flavor boldness to match. It walks the line between ice cream and frozen yogurt like a pro.
You can taste the decades of dessert experience. Baskin-Robbins didn’t phone this one in.
3. Pinkberry
This is the tart froyo that started a trend. The base has that addictive zing, and the toppings bar is a playground.
It’s the definition of a froyo moment—clean, bright, and satisfying. Pinkberry earns its reputation with every spoonful.
2. Menchie’s
Menchie’s brings creaminess and richness without losing the yogurt identity. The rotating flavors make it a joy to revisit.
It’s playful without sacrificing quality. A perfect balance of indulgent and light.
1. Red Mango
Red Mango stands out with its commitment to probiotic-rich frozen yogurt. Known for its health benefits, it offers a tart, refreshing taste that appeals to those seeking a nutritious treat.
The brand’s focus on quality and health has earned it a dedicated following of health-conscious consumers.
