Frozen Yogurt

I was introduced on a recent to trip to L.A. to the new frozen yogurt fad. It has this tart yogurtie taste has a frozen smooth consistency, often served with toppings to your desire (like fresh berries and fruit). They advertise that 1 ounce serving has only 25 calories. This is too good to be true for someone like me who loves ice cream or basically anything like that consistency! I didn't think it was THAT great at first, but now that I am back in Atlanta, I find myself craving for this low-calorie frozen goodness. I guess it grows on you.

Pinkberry
At Pinkberry, I had a plain frozen yogurt topped with fresh rasberries and blackberries. The combination was refreshing and guilt-free. It wasn't overly-sweet. I thought their green tea flavor yogurt was pretty tasteless. I couldn't really taste the green tea in it. The frozen yogurt consistency was a little bit on the icy side.

Ce Fiore
Personally, I liked it better at Ce Fiore (located in Japantown). I had a swirl of blackberry yogurt together with green tea yogurt. They offer a little more variety in their yogurt flavors. I found their consistency to be a little smoother, less icy. Supposedly, they will be opening soon here in Atlanta!

Unfortunately, there has been a lot of talk to what the actual ingredients to this kind of frozen yogurt. It has been speculated that this stuff comes from a powder, not real yogurt. Until they can prove that this stuff is really bad for you, I think I'll still like this stuff.

    BTW, shilla over in nova has it. i'm guessing if there's a korean pat-bin-soo place aronud atlanta (i can't imagine there not being one), they'd have some too.

  2. Pinkberry ain't bad, but it's awfully pricey. I'm partial to the plain yogurt w/ granola, blueberries, and some other fruit (strawberries, pineapple, etc.).
