Normally, I do not like PinkBerry. In fact, almost every time I have tasted a sample I have an immediate gag reaction. That was until today. I was walking with my friend Kim on this beautiful Friday to pick up lunch. On the way we passed PinkBerry and she said “Oeewhhh. Pinkberry.” To which I said “I hate Pinkberry.” And I have noticed that every time I say “I hate Pinkberry.” My friends give me a look like I have a third leg and I was getting tired of it. Each time I taste Pinkberry I always want to like it because it seems to bring everyone who eats it so much joy. But since I was not ready to back to the cold, dark Edit room it was off to Pinkberry we went.
Right when we walked in there was a huge sign that said “Blood Orange Is Here.” I mean talk about good advertising because I was like I’ll have a sample of that. As soon as I tasted it I was hooked. It was delicious. I was so happy because I was in the cool crowd now and regular ice cream was for the birds. It’s all about the frozen yogurt peeps.
I decided to top my Blood Orange Ice Cream with Blood Orange segments, Mango, Kiwi, Yogurt Chips and Swirl Whip which is a mix of yogurt and whipped cream. It was absolutely refreshing and delicious. The blood orange segments added to the flavor of the Pinkberry yogurt. The mango added a nice floral note. The kiwi was a little tart and the seeds added tiny bursts of crunchiness. The yogurt chips were sweet and also added a welcomed change in texture from the soft ice cream. The swirl whip was sweet and creamy and the perfect endnote for this newly converted Pinkberry Fan.

I am not normally a frozen yogurt fan either - especially the one my boyfriend likes with the yoghurt and then chocolate and caramel chips - it just doesn't taste right. I prefer good old traditional greek yogurt with honey and banana.
Oh my. I wish I lived in NY right now so I had better access to Pinkberry. Blood orange frozen yogurt???? Sounds amazing.
@Jo and @ Mass girl - Thanks for reading!! I really appreciate it!!
