Frozen Yogurt all Summer!

This year’s summer definitely came so late and was spent too short! Gone just like that and spent with rains too. On those days when it really gets hot – which I don’t complain about really, I try to get me some frozen yogurt. Shops selling them sprouted like mushrooms in a span of 3 years and even ice cream parlors and gelateria offer them too. There are two shops I frequent though.

What I like about frozen yogurts/froyo is that they go well with fruit flavors. I’m not so certain about what they say about froyos – I’m sure yogurt as is is healthy and when food is taken in moderation, it’s alright. So here are some of the frozen yogurt I had – some  I forgot to take photos of, others I can’t find the photos of. ^_^

With blueberries. Blueberries are power-fruits. They contain essential dietary mineral manganese, vitamin C, vitamin K and dietary fiber . This was  bought from a funny Italian polyglot at a smaller Zanoni and Zanoni parlor offering just frozen yogurt – it is opposite the bigger and more famous gelateria which serves ice cream, gelato and a lot more of Italian sweet goodness.

Pardon my nail’s color, already cracked on second day. :/  This one is vanilla yogurt and some fruits of the season! It’s from the Tuchlauben Eissalon – I got a piccolo but this looks venti instead. Their selection is so far the best I’ve seen, they even have gelato with macaron toppings!

I am one of those unfortunate to be allergic with peaches (and apples, nectarines, kiwi and some more fruits) but, I’m glad I can eat the canned ones…it’s only the fresh ones that make my throat really itchy. I got this from the same Zanoni and Zanoni shop but from a different server.

I came back to the Tuchlauben Eissalon to try their mango yogurt offering. I had it topped again with the fruits of the season but this time with amarena cherries. Boy was I surprised when it came oozing with syrup! Beats the purpose of me avoiding too much sweets. Although I can’t really say that all of these frozen yogurts are sugar or fat-free…at least, leaving out toppings that have artificial sweeteners is better.

These strawberries and raspberries on vanilla yogurt is again from the Italian polyglot. I say polyglot because when I come by he speaks to me in English and when I reply back a bit in English and then German he switches to German. When I ask ‘que tal?’ he smiles and says ‘bien ‘ then he would say ‘grazie ‘ in his distinct Mario-like diction.

Probably one I am guilty of having is this big serving of dessert. That’s 3 scoops of strawberry ice cream covered in yogurt – not frozen this time but the ice cream made it really cold topped with fresh strawberries. This was what I had when I went with my son’s class to Laxenburg, a small town near Vienna. And I find it unfair that you get out of the city and this much costs only 5€! As usual, I wasn’t able to finish this. So I guess it would have been better when shared. Would you like some?
