*****Berry

I feel the urge to post on this relatively new yogurt trend. This organic, fat free yogurt has become popular in the United States with in the last 5 years. I've seen these chains in Chicago, Houston, and New York so they are pretty much every where. My first time tasting it however was in the Dominican Republic. I remember the first time I ever had this tangy treat. I was traveling with a dear friend and she informed me that I MUST taste this amazingly refreshing dessert usually topped with all sorts of fresh fruit. The place was called YogenFruz. I barely remember it but I do remember it was unlike any frozen yogurt I've ever tasted before... it's just so tangy and refreshing. I topped it with strawberries, pineapple, and mango.

The yogurt is served out of what looks like a soft serve ice cream machine. Most places just have two flavors: original + the flavor of the week. The original I've tried at most places taste like an icy, sweetened version of the plain yogurt you buy at the super market. It's very hard to explain but very light and refreshing.

There are two places to check out here in Tallahassee. SunBerry, which is located on Tennessee right next to Jenny's lunchbox and YogenBerry right next door to the Club Publix. Both places are super cute and trendy inside. Bright colored walls and clean white counter tops clash with the vibrant colored toppings: blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, kiwi, granola, chocolate chips, coconut, etc.

For only 25 calories per ounce, a small runs you about 125 calories. Not bad for a frozen treat. This trend is rather pricey in my opinion. With a few toppings a small costs a little over 5 bucks! I still say it's definitely worth a shot.
