Before there was a “FroYo” joint on every corner, there was only one place that came to mind when I heard the term frozen yogurt–TCBY! As a kid, I remember going for TCBY for special occasions and loved picking out different flavors & topping combinations. Well, just last week, TCBY launched a great product line (sold in Walmart), complete with frozen yogurt quarts & pints, bars, and vanilla sandwiches! When given the opportunity to be among the first to try this new #TCBYGrocery line & host a tasting party, I jumped at the chance! I love trying out new products–and with a name like TCBY, figured we couldn’t go wrong! I was thrilled to see so many options at the store (and that was with 2 empty shelves!!)! And, you can’t have a true taste tasting party without having one of each item, right?! So, one of everything available landed in the cart! 🙂 Thank goodness for a big freezer at home!
Everything looked great on the boxes & I LOVE the fun, bright packaging! But, the true test is in the taste! And, we lucked out & got to have two tasting parties for two nights in a row–perfect for getting lots of opinions on the taste! 🙂 On Saturday night, we had my family over for my grandma’s birthday–this was the perfect way to do a birthday dessert! And, Sunday night, we were having friends over for some March Madness watching anyway, so we got to have taste-testing round 2!
I loved that our lime green party cloth worked for St. Patrick’s & matched the TCBY packaging so well! We kept everything simple & the main focus on all the different frozen yogurt products to try! We put out just a few extra things for toppings & to go with–cookies, syrups, chocolate chips, and candy.
Everyone loved having so many different flavors & products to try! There were numerous different “sampler” bowls made & everything was sampled by more than one person!
So, what did everyone think?! Everyone really liked it!! Not only is the taste fabulous, but many were extra pleased with the nutrition facts. I especially like that there are probiotics in each variety! In my opinion, that makes it a much better frozen treat than ice cream.
Now, for the really important part…what was the favorite flavor?! Well, there was no single clear cut winner, but the top 3 seem to be the cookies & cream, the chocolate chunk cookie dough, and the mint chocolate chunk. I also think the fruit flavors were really good–and would make fabulous smoothies!! No complaints here! 🙂
As you can see, there were lots of happy taste-testers–especially Big Brother who got special treats two nights in a row! 🙂 It was so fun trying all of these new TCBY products as soon as they hit the shelves & sharing it all with friends/family.
What flavor do you think you’d like the best?

Thanks, Rachel! It was fun, but I still LOVE the decorations from yours! And, yes, you HAVE to try the cookie dough. It was a BIG hit here–pint was gone very quickly! 🙂
My kids loved this blog project! You had more flavors than we had available- lucky lady! You had some tasty additions to your party…brownies and cookies…Can I come next time?
Haha, yes, mine too! This was definitely a blog project that was a hit with our family & friends! 🙂 Can’t wait to try some of the creations you made! YUM!
YUM-O as Rachael Ray would say! I LOVE icecream and frozen yogurt. These sound like they are worth trying. Since having deceloped a lactose intolerance I have found frozen yogurt is less upsetting. 🙂 The added probiotics are a plus. When I splurge and go out for a hand diped cone I alwasy get Choc. Mint Chip. So you know which one I would have tried 1st. Have a Fabulous Friday.
TWO PARTIES???? Way to go Sara!! What fun!! Definitely a hit all the way around!!!
It looks like they loved the FroYo! I love all the goodies you served with it!
They look like they are really enjoying themselves! So much fun!!
