Dessert is always a good idea, but do you know what’s even better? It’s having frozen yogurt—or froyo— as your after-meal treat! This refreshing blend became a hot trend many years ago, went on a quick hiatus, and came back stronger last year with so many shops opening in the metro. You can say that froyo has sealed its spot in our local dessert scene with its tart and light taste plus health benefits (like boosting your immune system). It’s a great alternative to ice cream minus the guilt! If you’re trying it for the first time or you’re looking for another spot to get your fix, here are stores at SM Supermalls that serve the best frozen yogurt:

A favorite among froyo enthusiasts, Llao Llao (pronounced as "yao yao") is a franchise brand from Spain. You can ask for a plain cup or have it drowned in their signature sauces, but our reco order is this no-fail, feel-good combo: The Medium Sanum (more toppings than yogurt) with fresh strawberries, mochi, and lacasitos (chocolate shells) then drizzled with Biscoff sauce.

Say hello to the newest froyo store in town! Feel like you’re on cloud nine with CLOUD’s frozen yogurt which you can have in their signature black sesame or creamy Hokkaido cheese blend. Have both in a cup (that comes in a super cute mini pink box) and add premium toppings like gold foil, taro balls, and Fruity Pebbles. Sweet sauces such as ube and matcha are also available.

Welcome to the *aesthetic* dark side, a.k.a BLK513 which offers frozen yogurt with activated charcoal (fun fact: it helps reduce high cholesterol)! What does it taste like, you ask? The flavor is pretty much the same as an ordinary froyo blend that is tart yet light. You can have it in a cup or on a cone, and add a piece of cookie on the side.

This Korean-American yogurt brand is one of the pioneer froyo stores in Manila and it opened its first branch in 2012. Pinkberry has gathered a strong following in the past 12 years and it continues to gain more customers with its seasonal yogurt bases (Vegan Chocolate, anyone?). Complete your healthy order and top it with a granola bar and almond slivers.
