Yogurt Craze Bound To Hit Here

There seems to be a new craze that hit the west coast. Seemingly irrelevant for us here in SA, but as the years have progressed, we have seen lots of changes. San Antonio seems to be coming up when it comes to businesses and what is now made available to consumers like us. If you look at different areas (I especially like what I see on the west side of SA) you can see what I mean. Within the last couple of years we've gotten Jamba Juice, Panera Bread, BJ's Restaurant, and Carl's Jr's, just to name a few. Also, in retail there is so much more than when I first got here three years ago. No longer do we have to travel to Houston and Austin in search of unique goods or delicious treats. (I don't wanna forget to mention GSA or Select Footwear for all your skate/footwear/streetwear needs!)

Anyway, this is about the "yogurt craze" that has hit metropolitan areas, and that I know will come this way soon enough. When we got the chance recently, we experienced it while we were in San Jose. Since we're new to it, we were cautious and ordered plain yogurt with strawberries, bluberries, and mochi was our only risk (a mighty good one I might add). When talking to friends about it (before ever trying it) I asked, "What's all the hooplah?", the reply alluded to the fact that it is a great alternative to ice cream or other high-sugar treats because it is both refreshing (satisfying the sweet tooth with a sweet & tart taste) and healthy. That's what people want nowadays...to fill their senses with goodness, but not at the expense of good health. We at HMG couldn't agree more with that concept!

Pick a yogurt and pick from array of different toppings. Yogurt is then priced by size of yogurt and amount of toppings or in some cases, by weight measurement of your frozen creation.

Due to heightened humidity, we think this part of TEXAS is fro-yo ready!!!

Here's a few sites for more info on these yogurt treats:
