Froyo at Forty Carrrots

Food trends, I'm on it! I'm out there tasting away just so I can report back to you guys! Okay maybe it's more for selfish reasons. I have fallen under the frozen yogurt craze. I love all things sour and tart so frozen yogurt is a nice refreshing change up from regular ice cream. I'm trying to "broaden my horizons" and expand my culinary palate by trying different froyo places. There are other places other then pinkberry!

Forty Carrots is located inside the Manhattan Bloomingdale's. It's been around for over 35 years, way before Pinkberry was thought up. Inside you'll find a bunch of spoiled teeny boppers and old cragly women skipping meals for huge cups of froyo loaded with sweet toppings. Good god woman! Do you really need a large froyo half plain half mocha with M&Ms?

Ok so how is the frozen yogurt? It's good. The texture is very creamy and smooth and a little heavy. The taste reminds me of sour cream and cream cheese then yogurt. It's flavor and texture profile is more like Red Mango then Pinkberry. So if you are Team Red Mango you probably will love the yogurt at Forty Carrots. Aside from the plain they also have chocolate which I didn't try, fresh mango which tasted artificial to me, and coffee which is what I got alongside my plain. It was very good. The coffee tasted like regular soft serve icecream. It lacked the tartness of yogurt which is a good thing if you've tried Pinkberry's new coffee froyo (mucho grosso!). $5 bought me a regular with no toppings. The portion was too big for me to finish! Although those spoiled teeny boppers and cragly old women sure didn't have a problem with that.
