Aussies have rated Weis as the top brand in Canstar Blue’s latest frozen yoghurt ratings, with five-stars for taste, texture and consistency, packaging convenience, variety and range, as well as overall satisfaction.
Our review compares frozen yoghurts on customer satisfaction, so you can find out what other Aussies think about the compared brands before you go ahead with a purchase. Think of it as like asking hundreds of your closest mates which frozen yoghurt they think is best!
Canstar Blue surveyed 601 Australians for their feedback on the frozen yoghurt(s) they’ve purchased from a supermarket or grocer and eaten in the last six months. Note: this does not include frozen yoghurts from an independent store or café/restaurant.
The winning brand is the one that receives the highest Overall satisfaction rating once all the scores from the Overall satisfaction criteria are combined and averaged.
Brands must have received at least 30 responses to be included, so not all brands available in the market have been compared in this survey. The brands rated in this survey are listed below in order of best overall satisfaction.

A mainstay within the frozen dessert market, Weis offers a range of bars, ice creams and frozen yoghurts to help satisfy your sweet tooth, and keep you cool during those warmer months! Weis offers frozen yoghurts as packs of ‘snack bars’, or as 1L tubs, and include flavours such as strawberry and vanilla, mango and toasted coconut, as well as plain vanilla.
Frozen yoghurt is considered a healthier alternative to ice cream, although it may still contain a high amount of saturated fat and sugar.
Compared to regular yoghurt, frozen yoghurt is a chilled dessert that contains yoghurt. So, cultured milk is still the main ingredient – that is, milk which is fermented by adding two cultures (i.e. ‘good’ bacteria) called Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. However, the cultures that usually have probiotic benefits generally don’t survive after being frozen (as opposed to refrigerated). This is why frozen yoghurt is typically not better than normal yoghurt. If you’re looking for a relatively healthy treat, make sure to read the nutritional information on the packaging.
