I'm in frozen yoghurt heaven!

I’m in frozen yoghurt heaven! People in the US have been eating ice cream since the mid 1800s. But frozen yoghurt has become really popular here in the last few years. It's healthier than ice cream and tastes just as good.

When frozen yoghurt first became popular, people just bought it at ice cream shops. But all these yoghurt shops have opened in Los Angeles in the last few years. You go in, help yourself to as much yoghurt in as many flavours as you like and then pay by the weight. It's so cool - especially in our hot summer.

A cute frozen yoghurt shop called Menchies just opened near my house. It has ten different flavours of yoghurt. The flavours change all the time but there are always a few fruity flavours like raspberry, rich flavors like chocolate and fruit sorbets. My favourite flavour is blueberry cheesecake. It’s divine!

My friends go there at least once a week. We get a bowl or a cone and fill it up with all our favourite flavours. Then we choose from up to 40 different toppings like fresh fruit, candy and chocolate. I love the coconut pieces and the blueberries. Finally we add sauces, like chocolate, fudge and strawberry sauce and marshmallow cream.

You can find Menchies all over the US. The one near my house in South Pasadena has seats inside and outside and a blackboard where you can leave messages for your friends. I hope you can come and visit it some time. It's so much fun!
