Red Mango's Fruit Parfait: Rekindling My Love For Frozen Yogurt
I dare you not to jealously stare and drool all over the picture.
I've always been vocal part of the frozen yogurt craze (froyo, yo!). Always partial to Red Mango's (a frozen yogurt chain) swanky atmosphere and refreshingly tasty frozen yogurts I've been a loyal froyo fan for over four years.
So when Red Mango's new Fruit Parfait came out I was first on line to try it out. A bit on the pricier side (I believe about six dollars) the delicious parfait was absolutely worth all the hype.
It looked exactly like advertised and somehow taste even better than the regular yogurt in a cup with fruit toppings (although it is essentially the same thing!). I think it is the layering of yogurt, fruit, granola, yogurt, fruit, and granola that brings about well- rounded flavors with each bite.
The reason for this post is because I recently tried the fruit parfait again this week and I'm not sure if I died and went to heaven during the process. It was that good. The fruit (strawberries, bananas, and blueberries) were fresh and sliced right in the store, and the granola clusters were divine, creating a yummy crunchy texture. The frozen yogurt was light and refreshing.
For you all on the health conscious side- this dessert/meal is an excellent concoction that will energize you and keep you happy all day. Their campaign slogan for the parfait which is, "Re-think lunch" is suitable for those craving for a healthier change in their usual ham-and-cheese sandwich kinda meal.
I also tried their POM pomegranate flavored frozen yogurt, which was also very good. But the fruit parfait (Berry Mix) has completely stolen my heart and revitalized my absolute adoration for Red Mango. Bravo, well done- I will come back for more.
Questions, comments, concerns:
Have you tried Red Mango's fruit parfait? Do you love frozen yogurt? What other establishments are worthwhile in the frozen yogurts' department?

I loveeee parfaits!
I LOVE it its my favorite i deff reccomend getting a card cause if u get 500 points you get a free one : ) its amazing! ive never tryied fro yo but ive tried TCBY and i didnt really like it it was like ice cream and nothing compares to red mango <3
I've never been to Red Mango...yet. Haha. There's going to be a Red Mango opening in my area soon though. But it sounds so expensive...I'd rather just get McDonald's parfait for $1 rather than spend $6 for a parfait O_o
I've been wanting to try it for a while...
I can't believe that they got rid of Tangomonium though. :(I drooled over it when they had $1 off coupons for their parfaits. I wish it wasn't so expensive though cause I would've gotten one every week haha.
It's so big and muchhh better than pinkberry's parfaitTheir pomegranate froyo is amazing too!!
Now I'm craving it...
RED MANGO FTW
mmm yummy.
Oooh, looks quite good :) Thanks for posting!
OMG, looks delicious.
we have a place called Mochi here in jacksonville,fl. its pretty damn good im gonna have find a red mango if there is a close enough one to my location. cause this froyo looks bomb!
craving.
frozen yogurt= magic and bliss.
I love Red Mango. Whenever I go to the mall I get a yogurt from there :)
Looks yummy, but I wouldn't spend $6 for it! I could just as easily make it myself at home (judging from the picture) and save some money! :)
"Parfait" means "perfect" in French. I can see why.
like others said, looks something that could be duplicated at home for cheaper amount of $ and you would get more for your bucks.
You know.. that does look pretty good... I'm not a fan of fruit parfaits with real yogurt so having that being filled with granola (which is my fav) and frozen yogurt, than yeah, yum. haha
Looks great! I've always preferred Red Mango to Pink Berry.
@explosive@xanga - Hey that's really interesting! Never knew that! =D
I love froyo :D
I haven't tried the fruit parfait... I'm just into eating the regular RM food because it's just really good. :D
I love Skinny Dip (yummmmmm), Marmalade Skies, and TCBY (as a back up).
That looks nice, healthy and low-calorie.
It's cheaper to just buy a bucket of nonfat greek yogurt and top it with frozen blueberries and whatever fruit i got sitting around. Delish!
Yummy. I would like to try that.
