The frozen yogurt phenomenon has hit Hawaii hard with numerous frozen yogurt chains opening on the island of Oahu in the past few months. Crowds of teenagers and families flock to these self serve yogurt shops to experience multiple flavor combinations and every topping imaginable.

I recently decided to see what all the fuss was about and visited my local yogurt chain Orange Tree in Kaneohe on Kamehameha Highway in the Kaneohe Shopping Center.  I entered the small shop and was greeted with hellos and smiles by the young counter associate.  He asked me if this was my first time here and gave me mini cups so I could sample all the yogurt flavors.  He gave me a brief overview on where the cups were, showed me all the yogurt flavors and toppings to choose from, and explained how the price depended on the weight of my cup.

Orange Tree offers 16 different yogurt flavors to choose from daily from classic vanilla and chocolate to unique raspberry and taro.  The toppings are endless with fresh fruits, candy and cookies, my favorite mochi balls, and much more.  I decided to mix it up and get blueberry yogurt with mochi balls and cheesecake yogurt with cheesecake bits and strawberries.  The price of my cup came out to under $4.00, which I thought was pretty reasonable.  I really enjoyed the cool freshness of my yogurt and loved the blueberry yogurt with mochi balls!

Frozen yogurt is low in calories and fat, high in calcium, high in protein, and even aids digestion.  Orange Tree is a fun and creative venue for patrons to get a healthier alternative to the high calorie and high fat ice cream shops.

Orange Tree currently has three locations on Oahu: Aiea, Kaneohe, and Kapolei.  Orange Tree will be adding 3 other locations very soon in the Kona Coast Shopping Center in Kailua-Kona, Ala Moana Shopping Center, and Kailua.  For more information visit www.orangetreehawaii.com.
