Through the blog world, I have learned there
are yogurt shops out there when you chose your own toppings and make it all up
yourself. The only yogurt shop Idaho had
was TCBY and you had to pay extra for toppings that they put on. We had a yogurt shop for small amount of time
that two toppings were included in the cost.
You can imagine my excitement when our first
yogurt shop came to town just like I was reading about in the blog world. Aspen Leaf Yogurt was my first experience and
it cost me $6.00. Whoops. I guess as $0.44 per ounce, it can add up
quickly!
I tend to like the plain types of yogurt with
fruit topping. Since fruit weighs a bit
more than other toppings I try to wait until the yogurt shops run a deal so it
costs less. Each of the yogurt shops in
town are on Facebook and often run deals where you can fill as much as you want
for $3 or $4. That is my kind of
deal. Unfortunately, at least for my
waistline, when you “like” several Facebook pages of different frozen yogurt
companies, there can be a deal each day.
The PPVs can really begin to add up.
My usual yogurt consists of three or four kinds
of yogurt, I try to pour small but I just love it so much, with a little
coconut, a few mini chocolate chips, some slivered almonds, and fresh
fruit.
If I am feeling in a candy mood I love Reeses
Peanut Butter Cups! They also have yummy
cookie dough balls and cheesecake squares.
My favorite kinds of yogurt are the dukce da leche (Caramel), coconut,
cheesecake, vanilla, and one place as a very delicious no-sugar-added pecan praline.
Counting PPVs can be tough. I don’t really know how much I am getting and
there is no real nutrition information to go off us. I usually count my whole dish (the above with
the fruit) as 7 PPVs. As I said before,
I try to keep the yogurt size reasonable but sometimes I just want more!!
I also have been cutting back on how much I
have. Eating should be fun, and lately
it hasn’t felt very fun, but it also needs to be in good moderation and portion
control. Yummm…now I want yogurt!
