Fro Yo

I am not sure if your area is doing this but here in the LV, the Fro Yo craze has started. It's like when I started watching the show Cupcake Wars on the Food Network channel all of a sudden all these cupcake bakeries opened up. Right now, I can think of 3 Fro Yo shops that are all within 10 minutes of my house. They seem to be every where!

But don't take this post as complaining! This makes me excited! Now it doesn't mean they will see me on a weekly basis. Shoot, I'm not trying to get any bigger here but it will be a nice treat once in a while for not only me but Little Miss as well. Maybe a "Mother-Daughter" place to go. It does help that my lactose-intolerant body seems to manage well which is GREAT! Now I can enjoy something ice cream like and not start a war within.

So this past weekend and the other night, Little Miss was going through something. Friday night she had a slight fever which went away by Sunday but Sunday into Monday until about 3am-ish, she woke up with a few crying fits. It was one of those low to high pitch screams/cries which we heard often when she was an infant. The girl was in pain and our guess was it was either gas or her 2 year molars being a pain. Yesterday, she was feeling much better. Still a little sensitive but definitely better. I thought it was a great time to take her to So Fun! Yogurt.

I had the lowfat Vanilla + Chocolate swirl with Reese's Cup chunks, Butterfinger chunks and chocolate cookie crumbles. Little Miss also had the Vanilla + Chocolate swirl but with mini marshmallows, graham cracker crumbs and her fav, mini M&M's. She ate some of the fro yo but spent most of her time, picking out the little candies. She enjoyed it and that is what makes me happy! She gets many veggies and fruits in her diet, so she deserves these little treats every once in a while.







So Fun! is really a cute and fun place! It is bright and cheery in there and I of course love the modern look of the decor. The food is even yummier! I really do feel like a kid in there. There are 14+ flavors of fro yo  at one time to choose from and all kinds of toppings. Even sprinkles in the colors of our local high schools. I always apologize to my daughter when I put rival high school sprinkles on her fro yo ;).

All these kinds of shops may be similar in fashion. You pick out your fro yo of your choice then head to the center island for the toppings. The sprinkles, syrups and whip cream are at the counter. There you get your 'masterpiece' weighed and paid for. Just watch the toppings, you go overboard you will pay for it. Even so with all that Little Miss and I had, it was still only $6. Not too shabby.

So if you are thinking about trying a little something different, go ahead and stop at one of these shops! I am pretty sure you won't regret it!

  3. I remember when I came across the fist self-serve fro yo place in Portland. I pretty much squealed and dragged all my friends in. I always take my little sisters to a fro yo joint for our sister dates.
