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...

I am a big frozen yogurt fan my self! My all time fave is white choc with the mini choc chips on top. Oh yum.
See you tomorrow!

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