Pinkberry through a straw

“Our customers want Pinkberry at different times of the day,” Pinkberry Chief Executive Ron Graves told Reuters. “This is obviously much more portable, whether you’re in your car or walking down the street.”

A small Granita will set you back $3.00 and a large will cost $3.50. Think of it as an icy, lightly sweetened plain yogurt shake rather than a smoothie or Starbucks’ Pinkberry-inspired Sorbetto drink.
