If you know me, you know I love ice cream! I always have and probably always will.
Since adopting a healthy lifestyle I try to curb my cravings for ice cream with healthy options like regular yogurt or banana soft serve. Those work quite nicely but sometimes you need a little something more and the proliferation of fro yo shops has made it easier than ever for all of us healthy eating ice cream lovers to indulge. Especially if you live in L.A. as they seem to have more Pinkberry shops and than McDonald’s. <–I’m lovin’ it.
And it’s great because many frozen yogurt spots are self-serve so you can get just the amount you want, not an arbitrary amount that comes in a small, medium or large bowl. Plus they almost always have toppings bars with healthy options like fresh fruit, granola and raw nuts.
Well today, my wildest dreams came true because a frozen yogurt shop opened in Carytown and it’s walking distance from both my house and my office!!!
As Isaac mentioned, this could be a very good thing or a very bad thing. Depending on how you look at it. The way I see it, it’s a great thing. 
The shop is full of vibrant colors, fun decor and most important – delicious frozen yogurt!
The yogurt wall has plenty of flavors to choose from. Currently on tap: chocolate, cappuccino, peanut butter, cake batter, cookies n’ cream, red velvet cake, cheese cake, blueberry, strawberry, georgia peach, honey dew and original tart.
The toppings area is quite abundant as well with strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, pineapple, peach, bananas, mango, kiwi, cinnamon apples, fudge brownies, cheesecake bits, mochi, nestle dark chocolate, nestle white chocolate, coconut flakes, sliced almonds, oreo, graham cracker crumbs, m&ms, chocolate chips, kit kat, jelly bellies, gummi bears, fruity pebbles, granola, peanuts, pecans, peanut butter chips, chocolate sprinkles, rainbow sprinkles, twix, reese’s and walnuts.
My treat today involved the honey dew, original tart and georgia peach flavors with strawberries, blackberries, blueberries and graham cracker crumbs!
Her- All things fruit. Him – All things cake and chocolate.
If you’re in my neck of the woods and like frozen yogurt, check out Sweet Frog. I personally think it’s the best fro yo you’ll find in Richmond.
On a very sad note, an unexpected and tragic event happened to one of my family members last night. Please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers. Depending on the circumstances (which aren’t looking good) I may be absent from the blogosphere for a few days. :/

Along with all the restaurants there was also other vendors- including local organic farms and speciality food providers, in addition to live music. i
Isaac and I waded through the crowd while perusing the options until spotting something that caught our eye. 
Tastebuds American Bistro had something for the both of us. … I’m already thinking of ways to incorporate these two flavors into some of my favorite things – (ie smoothies and oatmeal) After walking around in the heat, sweating through our shirts and eating a few mid morning snacks, Isaac and I hopped in the car and headed to our CSA’s farm party for lots more food (that was delicious and free!!).
