11 01 09 | Pinkberry at the Avenues
I finally got the chance to try out the famous Pinkberry frozen yogurt. Although I've heard about it a while back since it grew a celebrity following for its fat free frozen yogurt ( let's be honest anything that's 0% fat will always be popular among celebs) and then of course it reached cult status after its debut on "The hills". I wasn't really too keen on trying it. for a couple of reasons. One, i was never a frozen yogurt fan. Don't get me wrong i looove yogurt. I'de eat it plain, with honey, strawberries or some dates on the side. But yogurt will never take the place of deliciously sweet ice cream goodness! unless your on a diet then that's a different story. Secondly, even if i liked frozen yogurt, why Pinkberry? what's so special about it? I'll tell you...
Plain and simple its the new "habba" seriously, its the new craze. And for that reason alone i was so reluctant to try it! As a certain someone once so articulately put it, i hate being "kharoofy". (Kharoofy; from the arabic word kharoof, meaning: sheep-like). I just hate feeling like a sheep following the herd.
Anyway, so i was out with a couple of friends, and they were craving the pomegranate frozen yogurt (with granola on top) from Pinkberry. I had no choice but to go along and decided to try out the plain yogurt with mangoes and banana on top. I have to say, I really liked it!
It was extremely refreshing. a mixture of sweet and sour flavors tickling my taste buds. anyone who knows me knows i love me some sweet and sour anything! lol so if you're ever in Avenues and would love something cold and sweet sans the guilt trip, Get off your "Im not a kharoufy!" high horse and give it a try ;)
