Sometimes I wish I’d never heard about certain things because once you’ve heard, you can’t go back.

Yogurtland Interior

When a friend told me about their daily outings to Yogurtland I had to check it out immediately. Not because I’m such a big frozen yogurt fan but because this particular friend is in enviable shape so of course I started to rationalize that maybe her daily tasty treat has something to do with her stunning muscles and glowing skin.

Still not expecting to be impressed, I was taken by surprise when I entered Yogurtland. Upon witnessing the beautiful simplicity in this self-serve concept – something  I usually reject (salad bars and the like) – I was delighted as a child on his birthday.  The idea that I could take as little or as much as I wanted from the dozen or so dispensers from which various flavors of luscious frozen soft serve flowed was the height of having it my way. Not only that, once I selected a tasty pairing of root beer float flavored yogurt with good old vanilla, I had the options of piling on any of dozens of crunchy, sweet, tart, toppings such as candies, cereals, nuts and coconut or a choice of fresh fruits and syrups. I kept it simple the first time ’round, choosing to have an honest, clean taste of the frozen yogurt itself (sacrificing as usual for the benefit of my readers.)

Frozen Yogurt and Topping Varieties

It was good. And at only about 30 calories and $.39 per ounce, if you can keep it small in spite of the gigantic sized cups they tempt you with, you can likely afford a daily visit both in terms of your wallet and the space in your back pocket the wallet fits into.
