Pinkberry (NYC and California)

 

i have been hearing a great deal about pinkberry. my sister told me of it’s wonderful glory and i read online how people call it “crackberry” because it is so addictive. i didn’t understand all the hype, so we decided to try it out. theres a bunch of locations in nyc and california. first off, the place is quite eclectic and modern looking. they only sell 3 versions of their frozen yogurt – original (pinkberry), green tea and coffee. you can also get a variety of toppings on it (fresh fruit to cereal). the prices are expensive (about $5 for a medium with 2 toppings…what just about everyone orders). anyways, the frozen yogurt was ok. i didn’t see anything special about it, but this is what my sister warned of. because a few days after having pinkberry, you will start craving it again. my sister got so addicted she would take the train on her lunch break just to go get some pinkberry. so here i was, sitting at home, dreaming of pinkberry. i quick search online yeilded some interesting results: mix fage yogurt with a touch of sugar and lightly freeze, and you’ll get pinkberry. sure enough, it tastes exactly the same! yet, the fage only cost about $1 for 8 oz (if you buy the large container). make sure to use 2% fage and not the non-fat one though. enjoy!
