fro-yo craze

To start things of, let me give you some facts about yogurt.

What is yogurt?? 

Yogurt is basically a form of curdled milk much like sour cream but with less fat. It is produced by bacterial fermentation of milk. Fermentation of lactose produce lactic acid, which acts on milk protien to give its texture and distinctive tangy flavor.

• yogurt is NOT FATTENING
• it can keep your digestive system regular
• it can prevent osteoporosis because it's high in calcium

When i was younger, i didn't like yogurt at all. The taste was weird for me. It didn't smell so good and it tasted like sour cream. There's a frozen yogurt brand here called 'B.T.I.C' (better than ice cream). It has been here for as long as i can remember but i never thought of trying it out. I always thought that nothing can ever beat ice cream. I was wrong.

My first frozen yogurt experience was during the time when i was at some christmas bazaar somewhere. I got bored of walking around then i saw the frozen yogurt stall. I was curious what the fuzz was all about because a lot of people were lining up. I decided to try it out to see if it's really that good. i got myself a large cup of plain fro-yo with strawberries for topping. I was not disappointed. It was really yummy. All-natural goodness unlike ice cream. The tangy taste is still there but it was mild. The sweetness is just right. Compared to ordinary ice cream, fro-yo is a bit pricey. The deliciousness and all the health benefits i got from it made it worth every cent.

Today, fro-yo's are becoming an instant craze. More and more shops are opening here. They offer a wide selection of toppings that will sure suit every palette. They also offer different flavors of fro-yo. There's one store here that has green tea-flavored fro-yo. How healthy is that?? (Low-fat + antioxidants). I like my fro-yo plain with mangoes. I can eat a lot of it without worrying about gaining so much weight. I'm in a good mood everytime i indulge myself in some fro-yo. It's my ultimate comfort food. Try some and see for yourself.
