Flavor of the Week: Georgia Peach

Frenzi_Frozen_Yogurt_Flavors_Georgia_Peaches

JUST PEACHY!

How do you describe a flavor as recognizable as the Georgia Peach? Apparently, if you work for the Department of Food Science and Technology at the University of Georgia (USA) you establish a vocabulary of 29 attributes to describe peaches where 18 of those descriptors include aroma and flavor.

There are other ways to describe the Georgia Peach. Peach Professor, Desmond Layne, is a peach specialist at Clemson University in South Carolina and describes the flavor this way, “This is paradise! Sweet, juicy, it melts in your mouth.”

Then his description gets a little more abstract, “Drips off your elbows, drips off your chin, drips off your face, drips onto your shirt, onto your pants, onto your shoes.”

This is where the safety of getting the flavor of a Georgia Peach from your local Frozen Yogurt Shop comes in. You don’t have to worry about it dripping off your elbows, chin, face, shirt or shoes. We have cups and napkins though—just in case.

Don’t forget to add a few of our 60 topping choices with that Georgia Peach Frozen Yogurt. You can double-down on the peach flavor with candy peach rings. If you are feeling like a gourmet chef and you really want to elevate your dessert, chefs recommend pairing your peach-flavored froyo with chopped almonds, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and maybe a touch of caramel.

Frenzi Frozen Yogurt Gets Top Reviews

Frenzi Frozen Yogurt_Frenzi Frozen Yogurt Gets Top Reviews-2

The biggest reason people love Frenzi Frozen Yogurt is the atmosphere, seating, and the HUGE selection of toppings. Don’t take our word for it. Read some of the latest reviews:

“In addition to having a great selection of flavors of frozen yogurt, Frenzi has a really comfy seating area.  I’ve noticed that many other froyo places have bright white painted walls that are somewhat “blinding”.  Happily, Frenzi feels really inviting inside with more subdued decor.  They have booths in back, sofa and “softer” seating in the middle, and stools at a counter looking out the big window in front. . .so you can “choose your atmosphere” while enjoying your treat.  It also has a nice easygoing location on Main Ave in downtown Gresham.”

Jerry M—Portland, Oregon

“Cleanest frozen yogurt place I have EVER been to! The place is very spacious and modern, great place to hangout with friends!

They have the basic flavors but also some really awesome unique flavors; including an almond milk and coconut milk option! (Vegan and GF!)

The topping selection is the largest / most organized I have ever seen. From your fresh toppings to a great array of candies; they even had chia seeds!

If you’re in the area, check it out! You won’t be disappointed!!!”

Kritina S—Pacifica California

“Absolutely delicious and wonderful selection of  Frozen yogurt.  The selection of toppings a second to none.  The folks to work in the shop are always pleasant and incredibly helpful.  The art on the wall is amazing”

Katie B—Gresham, Oregon

Flavor of the Week: S’mores

Frenzi_Frozen_Yogurt_Flavors_Smores

Creating a frozen yogurt that tastes like s’mores is a no-brainer. The mix of graham crackers, marshmallow, and chocolate is a staple around campfires. Although this gooey treat has topped the popularity list for flavors, its origins are wrapped in mystery.

Some historians try to trace the origins all the way back to the Victorian era when the popular desserts were “sandwich cookies” and sponge cakes, filled with jam, cream, or lemon curd. That seems like a stretch.

Could the S’mores just be a rebrand of familiar treats? The Mallomar is a graham cracker cookie topped with marshmallow and coated in chocolate—but it’s not a sandwich. Nabisco gets a little closer with MoonPies, a true sandwich made with graham crackers and marshmallow filling, dipped in chocolate.

Sure, they are all close originals but none of these are fireside contenders. The first known record of the campfire recipe is in a 1927 handbook titled Tramping and Trailing With the Girl Scouts. The recipe actual called the treats “some mores.” I think we can all agree that the credit for traditional s’mores goes to the Girl Scouts.

If you are looking to recapture that campfire favorite without the messy gooeyness check out Frenzi’s Frozen selection of flavors.

QUICK S’MORE FACTS

  • 45 million pounds of marshmallows goes to s’mores every year
  • The largest s’more on record weighed 267 pounds and used 140 pounds of marshmallows, 90 pounds of chocolate, and 90 pounds of graham crackers
  • PRO TIP: Use metal rods instead of wooden skewers and use the coals not the flames!

Flavor of the Week: Cake Batter

Frenzi Frozen Yogurt_ Flavor of the Week Cake Batter-1

Everyone has a soft spot for cake batter. The exotic yet familiar fragrance of sweet vanilla, the tantalizing smell of butter as it browns around the edge of the pan, creating a crisp, caramelized facade, the spongy interiors, replete with airy pockets bursting with sugary steam. Cake batter is part of our collective history, if you didn’t have one for your own birthday party, you surely had it at someone else’s. Chocolate, funfetti, lemon, strawberry —- all these cakes start with cake batter; no matter what your birthday cake preference, batter is the foundation.

Now, slurping cake batter from a kitchen aid batter paddle is a special occasion, typically one that only comes once a year on your birthday, but you can accurately recreate the unbridled pleasure of your annual cake batter slurp with Frenzi’s delicious cake batter flavored froyo — which is far more responsible for a snack than raw batter.

Enjoy our cake batter froyo with fresh fruit topping for a sophisticated take on a birthday cake, or load up on classic candy to recreate your favorite party cupcake. No matter how you decorate it, your cake batter froyo creation is sure to be your new favorite treat.

3 Reasons To Take Someone You Love Out For Froyo

Frenzi Frozen Yogurt_Wrap Up Date Night At Frenzi!

Treating the people you love every once in a while can make you feel all warm and fuzzy, but it can also have significant health benefits.

Paul Zak, founding director of the Center for Neuroeconomics Studies at Claremont Graduate University, found that when people share, their brains release the hormone oxytocin, otherwise known as the “feel good” or “cuddle” hormone, well known to relieve stress. But that’s not the only benefit.

Friendships and Longevity

Friendships can improve health and longevity, and as such, close friendships are critical for along and healthy life. Seniors without close friends are more likely to develop chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and depression, so treat the folks you care for to show them just how much their companionship means to you.

Social Connections and Heart Health

You can build yourself a stronger heart with acts of generosity, such as taking your bestie out for an afternoon froyo. Good friends and positive social connections have a significant impact on a wide range of conditions, particularly heart health.

Froyo, of Course!

But possibly the best reason to treat your pal to froyo is that you also get to enjoy your own  heaping bowl!

Flavor of the Week: Mountain Blackberry

Frenzi_Frozen_Yogurt_Flavors_Mountain_Blackberry

MOUNTAIN BLACKBERRY

If you live in the Pacific Northwest, you’re pretty much required to like blackberries. They’re everywhere in late summer (or earlier in hot years like this one is promising to be). Our native plant, the trailing blackberry, is also known as the the Pacific blackberry or the Northwest dewberry, and the Mountain Blackberry. It conjures up images of happy bears eating berries in the sun and happy people eating bowls of froyo at Frenzi.

The berries are delicate and tender, small and sweet, but still tart; they taste like the bullying variety of blackberry finally got schooled by a raspberry. They’re not that ostentatious shiny black, and they have much smaller, less teeth-sticking-in seeds. The juice runs blood red. They ripen earlier, as in now, but the season lasts only a month or so. Come into Frenzi for a taste of our delightfully tart mountain blueberry frozen yogurt today!

Try it with your favorite fruit and candy toppings.
