yogurt vs ice cream

what's the difference between yogurt and ice cream? 

for me it is this: aside from yogurt being healthier, when you eat yogurt (even the frozen ones) every single day, there will come a point when it would feel/taste yucky after the first teaspoon. nakaka-sawa. i would like to go back to having froyo, but my taste buds and stomach won't let me. ice cream, on the other hand, oh you could have tons everyday and you'd never get tired of it.

so i was ecstatic (o ha. "ecstatic"! haha!) when i learned about Nestle Fruit Selection Yogurt Ice Cream. i tried the Strawberry one. omg. heaven! it really does taste like ice cream. but it's yogurt. like ice cream. but yogurt. best of both worlds. yum! 

i think they come in mango and vanilla flavors too :) but i haven't seen single serving cups though.

green tea yogurt, anyone?

for dinner today, i decided to have my favorite Medium Green Tea Swirl Yogurt with mango at California Berry (Level 4, Robinson's Galleria).

when i placed my order, the cashier said they ran out of mangoes. so i said ok, i'll have a Medium Banana Split instead (yogurt with banana, strawberry and white chocolate thingies). and they ran out of bananas and strawberries too. 

then something weird happened. i usually get pissed when this happens ("ano nalang ba pwede kong orderin?"). but today, i felt happy. hahah! happy for them actually. that means more people got to taste their yummy yummy yogurt! hooray!

i super love california berry. you can choose from the original yogurt, coffee, green tea, coffee swirl (coffee + original yogurt) and green tea swirl (green tea + original). and you can choose from chocolates and fruits for toppings. they also give free tastes (a spoonful of yogurt). plus, it is frozen yogurt. the texture is almost like ice cream, not like the usual liquid-y yogurt you buy in groceries. and my friends know that i have this weakness for cold concoctions (smoothies, shakes, ice cream, frappes, halo halo, etc.. you get the picture). so it's like having a huge nice treat of healthy guilt-free non-sweet ice cream! awesome :D AND, it's only 8.8 calories per serving! :-o
