This winter the weather has been more like spring, especially during the weekend before Christmas. After Xmas shopping in the mall for a while, I went straight to the FroYo store in Creve Coeur to taste the recent favorite of the trendy people, frozen yogurt.
FroYo is a St. Louis based chain store that is specialized in frozen yogurt. Its characteristic is self service, namely, customers would select the cup, the flavor and the amount of the frozen yogurt and the toppings like fruits, raisins, waffle, candies, almonds, walnut, etc., lots of varieties. After all is set, the customer brings the cup to weigh and check out. You get to select the ingredients that you really like in front of the tasty and nice looking frozen yogurt, add the toppings on and finish the customized frozen yogurt yourself. There is a lot of fun during this process.
As soon as I walked into the clean and bright store, the friendly staff generously gave me a stack of paper cups to let me taste as many kinds as possible. It is not easy to choose the one you like the most as there are more than ten flavors, such as New York Cheesecake, Irish Mint, Pistachio, Peanut Butter, White Vanilla, Cake Batter, Strawberry, Chocolate Truffle Harts, Pepper Mint Cream, Original Tart, Raspberry Sorbet, Strawberry-Lemonad etc. You would want to taste every one of them. The fat free and low sugar New York Cheesecake has a distinct cheese flavor; every bite was soft and tasty. Cake Batter gave you a good feeling when you took a bite that had all the right taste and flavor but was neither too sweet nor greasy. The crunchy egg rolls smelled good and would not disappoint you. I was most surprised by the fat free yogurt with the pomegranate flavor; it tasted a little sour and sweet just like pomegranate, very refreshing. All these different flavors are worth trying.
The big difference between frozen yogurt and ice cream is that there is either low or no sugar and fat in frozen yogurt. Yogurt could help improve digest system, which would make one look healthier. It alos contains high calcium that is good news to those who could not drink milk because the lactose in yogurt was already converted to glucose.
When I left there, I brought two big cups of frozen yogurt to home. When sharing the frozen yogurt from FroYo with my family in front of the fireplace with Christmas music being played, it was a wonderful feeling. Finally, you can enjoy the good taste of yogurt without worrying gaining weight. Instead, healthy and nutritious yogurt would make you better looking, full of energy and more slim. |
