Tuttimelon Broadway Opens Today (12/31)

Great fro-yo news. Tuttimelon's fifth location opened today. The official grand opening is this Saturday, January 3th (I'm not sure what's in store for the grand opening other than the 99 cents original small fro-yo special but I'll try to find out. Okay, I think it just means that they're offering the 99 cents original small fro-yo special.). They're open till 3 AM on Fridays and Saturdays :-o. For some reason I do get late night fro-yo cravings.

New Fro-Yo Flavor at Culture

Fro-yo girl here. Breaking fro-yo news, fro-yoholics. Culture just replaced their tart pumpkin fro-yo with tangerine. Ooooh, I like the sound of tangerine fro-yo. I haven't seen that flavor elsewhere. I will try it very soon.

Update: I tried the tangerine fro-yo. Amazing. It tastes so fresh and tangy like tangerine juice mixed with the milkiness of real yogurt. Go get some! Sorry, but they aren't open on New Year's Day.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Health Benefits of Fro-Yo

Fro-yo girl here. If you’ve visited a couple of tart fro-yo shops, chances are you’ve run into a cup, poster or store signage that discusses the health benefits of fro-yo. Most fro-yo shops serve non-fat fro-yo.

The National Yogurt Association developed the Live & Active Cultures seal to signify that a yogurt manufacturer’s refrigerated products contain at least 100 million cultures per gram at the time of manufacture, and whose frozen products contain 10 million cultures per gram at the time of manufacture. The seal program is voluntary.

Freezing does not kill the yogurt cultures while heat treatments do kill live yogurt cultures. The cultures are dormant when frozen and they become active when eaten and warmed by the body’s temperature.

The main benefit of fro-yo with live yogurt cultures is that it eases digestion and keeps the digestive system healthy. It may also boost one’s immune system. Yogurt is also a good source of protein and calcium. At this rate of fro-yo consumption, I won’t ever have to worry about osteoporosis.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Merry Christmas Fro-yoholics!

Fro-yo girl here. FYI, Tuttimelon is open today (Xmas) till 11 PM. They had pomegranate seeds today and two flavors of fro-yo: pomegranate tart and plain tart. Fro-yo tastes extra tuttilicious on Xmas Day.

You know you love me. XO XO, fro-yo girl.

Picture of Future Red Mango at Valley Fair

On a recent shopping trip I spotted the new (not yet open) Red Mango next to Sanrio on the ground level, close to Macy's. Too bad it wasn't open. Fro-yo is the perfect snack during shopping. I was in the mood for fro-yo!
