So I recently heard that TCBY was offering a chocolate fro-yo made from Silk almond milk and I had to try it! I am so sick of going to fro-yo shops and having only one choice which is usually pink lemonade sorbet or some close relative. I want chocolate people! So this news was super exciting to me.
My husband and I ventured out to our local TCBY to try some this weekend. First, I've got to say I was very impressed by the décor. It had a really fun, colorful vibe. It was self-serve which is not how I remember TCBY, but, hey it's been a while! They had two size cups and we opted for the smaller size which was still pretty big. The guy asked if we wanted to try a sample and I told him "No, I know exactly what I'm getting" and made a bee-line for the Silk. The consistency was pretty much what I expected from these type of soft serve machines. Kinda difficult to get it into the cup like they show it in the picture. But who cares? It's not staying in the cup for long anyhow.
The toppings were varied in selection which was great. They had fruit, nuts, sprinkles, Oreos, liquid toppings, even Nerds! I chose crushed nuts and Oreos on mine (yes, Oreos are vegan!) Our total surprised me a little (about $11) but we did fill our cups pretty full. My eyes were way bigger than my stomach and knowing how far away the store was I didn't know if this would be my only chance to try this new flavor.
It was soooo good. Cold and creamy and most importantly chocolaty! It had a really rich chocolate flavor and the toppings added a nice texture. I don't know what the calories are like but I was able to eat the whole cup (a lot of fro-yo!) and didn't even feel all that full afterwards (or guilty, yay!) Supposedly TCBY is going to offer this new flavor for something like 70 days and I'm really hoping the concept takes off. Think of all the other great flavors they could have! Strawberry, Cheesecake, and Peanut Butter come to mind (separate flavors not combined)! I'm also really thrilled this was an almond milk formula instead of soy. I know there is a lot of concern about the consumption of too much soy and it's great that we have alternatives now.
Hopefully, we make it round one more time before it's gone. If you have a TCBY in your area, I highly recommend trying it!
