Shop Review- Yogen Fruz
Aug 10, 2009 by Violet
Time for another review, this time of local yoghurt shop Yogen Fruz!
I’ve been trying to get healthy lately. I know, I know, it’s lame but a diet of only cheese burgers will eventually cause me to not be able to fit into that lovely Jesus Diamante jsk! But I loooove candy and sweets and pretty much everything that’s bad for me!
And so the search for a delicious sweet treat that won’t balloon my waist!
What is it?
Well basically it’s frozen yogurt. You can order it two ways “Blend it” or “Top it”. Blend it is where you pick some fruit and the puree the yogurt with it until it’s a smooth delicious mess. Top it is where you pick a flavor and then they put some fruit/nuts/sweets/random other thing of your choice on top
The buzz around this is that it’s actually a healthy-ish snack because it’s got pro-biotics and vitamins and junk in it.
Personally I couldn’t care less as long as it tastes good.
The store just opened up at our local shopping center (Garden City as well as Carindale) so I decided to give it a go.
I ordered a Green Tea Top It with strawberries and mochi toppings. Yes that’s right they have mochi toppings! Here’s what it looks like:
Firstly how cute is it? The presentation was really well done and there were a good number of toppings. The prices are a little expensive, a regular was around $5.95 I think.
The taste was delicious. Normally I’m not a huge fan of green tea flavoured things but this was awesome! So freaking good I can’t even describe it.
Good points:
-Apparently healthy
-So freaking tasty
-Nice staff
-Cute presentation
-Addictive, though maybe that’s a negative!
Now here are the bad points:
-Out of the 5 times I’ve been I was charged 3 different prices for the same item. Possibly just teething problems in a new shop.
-Not really a negative but “Mochi” is spelled “Moochie” and I had to explain exactly what it was to the staff because they had never heard of it, one girl thought they were mini marshmallows ahahahaha!
So then… the final verdict? Well even if it’s not the cheapest thing in the world it’s still delicious so I’ll be going back!
And more importantly it’s made me want to experiment with my own frozen yogurt. I’ve bought some green tea powder and some yogurt so I’ll let you all know the results ^_^
So what’s your favorite healthy snack? Have you tried Yogen Fruz?
The buzz around this is that it’s actually a healthy-ish snack because it’s got pro-biotics and vitamins and junk in it.
Hmm, I wonder if this is anywhere in Melbourne? I'm dying to give it a try now, it sounds delish!
Candice- I had a look at the website and I couldn't find any in Melbourne apparently it's coming soon though :( How about I post you some :P If I can work out the damn recipe I'll send it to you!
That's seems really delicious! I don't have any fauvorite healthy snack! Chocolate can be considered healthy? :$
They have something similar here in Sydney. Mmm . . frozen yoghurt with toppings. My fav is the mochi and red bean with the green tea frogurt.
Criztinita- Hahaha, yeah chocolate is totally healthy! :P Maybe not but at least it's delicious!
Sigmate- Oh it's so good! I'm not a huge fan of red bean but I've never tried it in frozen yogurt so who knows!
These things are usually charged by weight, so it will have price differences each time you get it. =]
Can you tell I’m not awkward stalking all of your posts? =P
At Yogen Fruz they charge by the number of toppings and flavors, it makes me miss it! I wish there was one in my new city that did mochi toppings! Haha my old posts aren’t very good, not worth stalking xD
