Frozen yogurt (FroYo) is a delish treat that leaves you feeling less guilty than a frozen death dessert like Dairy Queen (I love you but it's just hard DQ, it's me not you). IHST has taken it upon themselves to try a couple of new FroYo establishments for the blog.
FroYo #1:
Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt @ Washington Square Mall (Tigard OR)
This is a new place at the mall. I went for the first time with my sister and my nephew (who made his mini-puerco FroYo debut). I had to share the love I had for this place to la Marb$.
It's a self-service shop that charges you by the ounce. They have a variety of fruit flavors such as strawberry, blueberry, and pineapple (my favorites include pomegranate and mango). They also have the classic vanilla, chocolate, and classic tart flavor. I like to mix up the fruit flavors and add a bit of vanilla to balance it out.
Then after you FroYo your cup up, then you go to the topping station....tons of great fruit, nuts, chocolates, and some candies.
IHST Rating: A

FroYo #2:
Swirl Frozen Yogurt-SE Hawthorne Blvd (SE Portland)
We drove by this place and went Gwen Stefani bananas because of the name: SWIRL. If you love us you know why this word means something special. One day we were feeling crazy and decided to try this place. We loved the Washington Square bear one so much, we thought we might give this one a try. Swirl is also a self-service place, but they have crazy different flavors. Some include: peanut butter, jolly rancher fruit punch, pistachio, cheesecake, as well as the vanilla, chocolate, and original tart. Each FroYo station has 3 levers: on the right for one flavor, on the left for another flavor, and a middle lever that swirls the two flavors together. FUN! Their topping station includes everything from cereal to kiwi to hot fudge and caramel. This place is more for the puerco in you, well the choice to go healthy or to go puerca is up to you...you hold the power.I have to say my treat melted a bit too fast, but overall it was pretty good. The establishment was really cute and is a great place to sit and chill.
IHST rating: B for the treat, A+ for the name
