Strawberry Yogurt Popsicle
I never got into this whole frozen yogurt thing.
I do enjoy yogurt. But as a frozen dessert, I usually pass and ask for a scoop (or two) of ice cream instead. No surprises there. But after a recent Sunday dinner at my sister’s place, I might have to eat (or lick) my words. Never say never.
Once we had finished tucking into the usual Sunday fare, my sister’s cook comes over to me and offers a special treat for dessert, a Strawberry Yogurt Popsicle by Picole. I hesitate. While I have a respectful disdain for frozen yogurt, I do however have an odd fixation with food that comes on a stick.
Barbecued pork on a stick? Absolutely. Fried bananas on a stick? Yes, please. Coagulated pig’s blood? Sure, I’ll give it a try. So why not frozen yogurt on a stick? After a brief moment of thought, I accept the offer.
Moments later, my dessert arrives. Inside a clear plastic wrapper is a blush pink popsicle. Looking closer, I can see slices of fresh strawberries frozen within the frost-covered yogurt. I take my first lick.

Picole on a Stick
After the numbness subsides, there is a taste of creamy yogurt as my tongue's heat melts the popsicle. Following my second lick is the tangy, sweet flavor of iced strawberries. A third lick brings the two sensations together into a duet of the tangy sour and the sublime sweetness. Both in perfect balance.
The following Saturday, I arrive early at the Salcedo Village Market. I want to be Picole’s first customer for the day.
Yogurt on a stick? Yes, please. I’ll take a dozen.

Hi Nate-n-Annie. Sadly, they only have three flavors for their yogurt-based pops: strawberry, mango and natural.
Hi Franco. They also have Blueberry Cheesecake Yogu.
Hi iceboy. They do?! That flavor wasn't on their flyer. Must have missed it. Thanks for the information.
Yup. Its a new flavor they have. I tried it at
Their cart at SM Mall of Asia, near the Imax entrance. I love their choco banana dip.
Thank you, Franco, for introducing me to these babies! Are they locally made?
