Is there really a time of day where college students, specifically us ladies, are not in the mood for a giant cup of frozen yogurt (fro-yo)? That time does not exist. Trying to choose the absolute perfect toppings and flavors for my fro-yo creation can be quite stressful. So what did we do?  Create the perfect guide to the Do’s and Don’ts of frozen yogurt.

 

#1: DO SAY YES TO PEANUT BUTTER! (Allergic? Maybe stay away from it…)

Peanut butter has the effect of turning around a day and starting fresh. Mixing peanut butter into any type of frozen yogurt is never a bad idea; topping it off with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, caramel turtles, nuts, and peanut butter sauce is the best decision you will ever make in your lifetime. (Unless, of course, you make the decision to watch all six seasons of Gossip Girl again for the fifth time. Close competition).

 

#2: DON’T MIX IN GUMMY BEARS AND GUMMY WORMS, THEY FREEZE!

Once a gummy bear is put into the fro-yo, it freezes! It is almost impossible to chew and even more impossible when chocolate hardens around it. But this doesn’t mean to not eat the delicious gummy candies! Gummy bears and worms are secretly meant for eating as you make your actual dessert! (The frozen yogurt shop just doesn’t advertise that way!)

 

#3: DO MIX TOGETHER DIFFERENT FLAVORS OF FROZEN YOGURT!

Feeling in the mood for some pomegranate or blueberry frozen yogurt but still want a creamy side to it? Mix any fruity or bitter flavor with a vanilla, chocolate, or cake batter, and you have made yourself a perfect concoction of sweet, creamy, TASTINESS!

 

 

#4: DON’T OVER LOAD YOUR CUP!

$0.49 an ounce can really add up when you are adding in three swirls of frozen yogurt and ten different toppings. But here is a secret- Put your toppings into your cup first, this way you see how much you are adding instead of burying it on top of yogurt! By putting tiny amounts of the candy and fruit you want, you are satisfying your craving for those delicious add-ins. There is no need to put ten scoops of Twix and five chunks of pineapple when you’re really only craving a bite of each! 14 ounces later and your yogurt suddenly becomes a little pricey…

 

#5: DO ALWAYS USE DIVIDERS!

A lot of fro-yo places are answering the sweet tooth Gods and offering dividers for your cup-yes, you can literally divide the flavors and toppings. This makes for a perfect frozen yogurt where your crazy chocolate mixture doesn’t touch your fruit and your fruit doesn’t touch your crazy chocolate mixture.  One side fruit and granola, the other side chocolate and sugar…right?!
