How Many Calories are in Pinkberry?
You know spring is in the air when the line at Pinkberry wraps around the corner! I was taking a walk this past Saturday (it was nearly 70 degrees!) and saw “the line” - at least 20 people - outside of the upper east side Pinkberry store.
Of course city girls are quite familar with Pinkberry. Some are so obsessed with it that it has even been called “Crackberry”. If you check out the Pinkberry website, you will find a groupie section.
What is Pinkberry?
For those of you who aren’t familar with it, here is a little background info… Pinkberry frozen yogurt is made from real yogurt, without preservatives, additives, or excess added sugar (it does have some added sugar). The texture is firmer than soft serve, almost a bit icy, and creamy. The taste is different than other frozen yogurts as it has a tangy, slightly sour taste. Maybe this doesn’t sound so appealing - however it is delicious!
The first store opened in January 2005 by Korean Americans Shelly Hwang and Young Lee. It is headquatered in La and currently has 36 stores, most in Southern California with seven in New York City.
Most stores sell 3 flavors: plain, green tea and coffee. I personally like the plain flavor. They will let you try a sample size to see what flavor you like the best. There is also a selection of toppings including fruit and other crunchy toppings. The fruit toppings include: strawberry, mango, pineapple, blueberries, kiwi, raspberry, pomegranate, blackberry, and sometimes others depending on the season. Dry toppings include: granola, yogurt chips, chocolate chips, captain crunch, fruity pebbles, cocoa pebbles, coconut, almonds, walnuts.
Nutritional info:
The following nutritional info was taken from the Pinkberry website. All the nutrition info was given per 4 oz serving. However, the website said that all the sizes (small, medium, large) contained more than one serving, therefore my calculations are based on the actual calories you will get when you order the various sizes. Unfortunately, the nutritional info for the toppings was not listed. I would recommend you stick with the fruit toppings as the others can really add up!

I recently saw this business in San Diego and the ads on the store window (store was not open yet) were very appealing. From the name I thought they would have a pinkberry flavor or at least berry flavored yogurts. Anyways looks like something I would definitely try.
