Costco Freezer Frenzy — But There’s A Catch?

Costco Wholesale store sign against a blue sky — FROZEN DEAL CRAZE

A 12-pack of frozen Greek yogurt cups is quietly selling out at Costco locations — and the people finding them can’t stop talking about it.

Quick Take

Costco added Yasso Frozen Greek Yogurt mini cups in Vanilla Caramel and Fudge Chip flavors, priced around $11.89 for a 12-pack
Each 3-ounce cup has just 80 to 90 calories and 4 grams of protein — making it one of the lightest frozen treats on the market
Availability is limited and varies by region, so not every Costco will carry them
Social media buzz is driving demand, but some of that hype comes from paid brand partnerships — worth knowing before you hunt for them

What Costco Is Now Selling in the Freezer Aisle

Costco began stocking Yasso Frozen Greek Yogurt mini cups in a 12-pack format featuring two flavors: Vanilla Caramel and Fudge Chip. The Vanilla Caramel cup has 80 calories per serving. The Fudge Chip cup has 90 calories. Both deliver 4 grams of protein per 3-ounce cup. ^[1]

Each cup is filled with creamy frozen Greek yogurt, caramel sauce, and chocolatey chips. ^[3] The item number is 2062454, and the reported price for the 12-pack is $11.89. That works out to under a dollar a cup.

Yasso is based in Boulder, Colorado, and has built a loyal following by positioning its frozen bars and cups as a smarter swap for traditional ice cream. The brand sells through multiple retailers, including BJ’s Wholesale Club.

The Costco deal fits a bigger strategy — getting into high-volume warehouse stores where shoppers buy in bulk and discover new products fast. ^[1] That strategy is working. Social media pages dedicated to Costco were lit up quickly after the product appeared on shelves.

Why the Health Claims Deserve a Closer Look

Eighty to ninety calories per cup sounds almost too good. For context, a standard half-cup of regular ice cream typically runs 130 to 200 calories. So, if accurate, Yasso’s numbers are genuinely low. But the frozen yogurt category has a well-documented history of health claims that don’t always hold up.

Roughly 44% of new frozen yogurt launches include probiotic claims, and 37% feature reduced sugar formulations. ^[18] That is a crowded field of competing health promises, and not all of them are verified by independent labs.

Frozen yogurt often contains just as much sugar as ice cream — sometimes more — to mask the natural tang of yogurt cultures. ^[14] Yasso has not published a complete ingredient list in the sources available for this product. What we know is Greek yogurt, caramel sauce, and chocolatey chips. What we don’t know is the full additive and stabilizer profile.

A YouTube review of a different Yasso flavor flagged the use of multiple gums, including guar gum and locust bean gum, as a drawback compared to simpler ice cream brands. ^[2] That’s worth keeping in mind when the word “clean” gets thrown around in the marketing.

The Price Confusion Is Real and Annoying

Different sources report different prices for the same 12-pack. Fox Business reported $11.89. An Instagram post from Yasso’s own account showed a price of $13.99 marked down to $12.44. ^[5]

That’s a $2 spread across sources, which isn’t huge, but it signals that pricing varies by region and possibly by promotional timing. Costco has not issued any official press release or product page confirming this item.

Every report comes from third-party sources — news outlets, Instagram pages, and Facebook posts. ^[1] That’s normal for Costco product discoveries, but it means the details are harder to pin down with certainty.

Availability is the bigger problem. Yasso confirmed that stock varies by region and retailer and suggested that shoppers check with their local store manager. ^[1]

Reddit users noted that the product has shown up primarily in warehouses in the Northeast region. ^[10] If you live outside that footprint, you may not find it at all.

That’s a real limitation the social media hype tends to gloss over — especially when some of the loudest voices promoting the product have paid partnerships with Yasso. ^[3] That doesn’t make the product bad. It just means the “top tier” label comes with a marketing budget.

The Bigger Picture on Frozen Yogurt at Warehouse Stores

The frozen yogurt market reached an estimated 1.3 billion liters in volume in 2024, with projections indicating 2 billion liters by 2028. ^[16] Health-conscious shoppers are driving that growth, and warehouse retailers like Costco are a prime battleground. Brands that land a Costco slot get instant volume and visibility.

For Yasso, this placement is a significant win. For shoppers, it’s a genuinely decent option — low calorie, decent protein, convenient size — as long as expectations stay grounded.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued its first-ever qualified health claim for yogurt in March 2024, noting that limited evidence suggests regular yogurt consumption may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. ^[13]

That’s a meaningful endorsement for the category overall, even if it applies to yogurt broadly rather than to this specific product. At roughly a dollar a cup and 80 to 90 calories, Yasso at Costco is a smart buy if you can find it.
