Froyo - Go Berry style

Frozen yogurt is not your typical dessert, at least when you consider the popularity of ice cream. But while it's not the traditional sundae with hot fudge, it does offer up a healthy and still delicious alternative to ice cream.

Not sure what it is exactly? Here's a brief history. According to that website, frozen yogurt is described as "Somewhere between a sherbet and ice cream, the dessert is tangy in flavor and smooth in texture."

If you have your doubts about frozen yogurt, at least give Go Berry a try.

Also residing in Northampton, Go Berry is a local business that only serves frozen yogurt. They have three different flavors, original, mango, and strawberry, with a surprising number of toppings to choose from. Toppings vary from

chocolate chips, granola, kiwis, blueberries, graham crackers, crushed almonds and cookie dough, just to name a few.

The prices are affordable, and the location is, ironically, next to a candy store. But don't get distracted by the sugary concoctions to the left of Go Berry, and go experience a frozen yogurt the way it should be - fresh, healthy, and local.
