At a time when there’s nothing worse than lumbering around on a hot LA day, these coconut light delights will keep you having fun in the sun.

Someone forgot to tell Pinkberry (www.pinkberry.com) they can’t get any more awesome. And we’re glad no one did as Pinkberry has added to their selection of premium frozen yogurt treats with Coconut Pinkberry. Sporting a rich coconut flavor and an invigoratingly smooth tangy finish, Pinkberry’s latest creation will cool the sizzling heat off of any LA street. Coconut Pinkberry is made with real coconut cream puree, and like Original Pinkberry, there is no dairy or creamy aftertaste. For the daring among us, Coconut Pinkberry can be topped off with coconut shavings!
