Battle of the brands.

vs.

Ok, I've always been mildly obsessed with frozen yogurt.  The lower calorie, better for you cousin of ice cream is amazing to me.  I love it's soft serveness, it's many favors and it's slightly tangy after taste.  I'm just a huge fan.  

This weekend was monumental for me in the way of frozen yogurt. I discovered Yo Cream. I've been a loyal Golden Spoon girl my entire life (it's my So Cal roots). And I ate more then my fair share while I was living in Cali a few years ago.  Golden spoon is always near the top of my "must haves" while visiting (second only to Coco's Asian chicken salad minus the chicken). But I must say I've found a new favorite. Sure I will say that there may be no real difference in taste but Yo Cream's got one up on Golden Spoon.  Let me explain.

I like to be in charge of my food. I've always been accused of having eyes that are bigger than my stomach, and that may be the case...but it's my case, I like to eat!  So, Yo Cream is the perfect place for people like me.  It's a SELF-SERVE frozen yogurt shop. Yep. You read that right. AMAZING!

I think the guy read my face when I walked in.  Pretty sure I looked like the chubby girl on Willy Wonka. He gave us a full tour. You serve yourself and then pay by the weight of your dish. Finally I can control the ratio of yogurt to sprinkles! There was a row of flavors to choose from, a stinkin' fruit and topping bar, a spinning cereal bar and biodegradable spoons!

I fully committed and got a punch card...so next time you are in the Portland area let's get together and get some Yo Cream.  The possibilities are endless...

This is exactly what I'm trying to figure out...thanks Picasso, buddy 'ol pal.

It's a revolution...and we're starting one mailbox at a time.
