The scoop This Korean chain is often referenced as the inspiration for stateside yogurt titan Pinkberry, having opened up its first shop in Korea in 2002, two years before Pinkberry was founded by two Korean-Americans.
The skinny One ounce contains 6 grams of carbs, 27 calories and 0 grams of fat.
The verdict There’s a true yogurt tang, not a citric acid–induced pucker that makes you think you’re eating lemon ice cream. There’s a clean, refreshing sweetness that’s the antithesis of cloying and leaves zero aftertaste. And best of all: the texture. Freezing yogurt is harder than it sounds, and many spots suffer from graininess or even iciness. Red Mango’s yogurt is smooth as silk, but not scary-slick like DQ soft-serve.
