Yogurtland features non- and low-fat yogurt flavors as well as non-dairy and no sugar added choices.

Yogurtland’s premium custom flavors come from real ingredients sourced from their original locations – Madagascar vanilla beans from Madagascar, Belgian chocolate from Belgium, Maqui Berry from Patagonia. No other yogurt chain offers such original flavors and exciting combinations such as Salted Caramel Pecan, Blackberry Passion Fruit Tart, Lychee Tart, Dragon Passion Fruit Tart, and Mango and Matcha Green Tea. Yogurtland locations serve 16 different flavors daily with an average of 25 calories per ounce.
