A couple weeks back I applied to host a special party at my local Pinkberry. I discovered the opportunity on one of my recent favorite websites: Crowdtap. (Check them out if you get the chance as I have earned a lot of Amazon codes and have also been chosen to host some really cool parties.) I was sent a nice little booklet that outlined the party concept and included a $25 gift card to Pinkberry. The concept of the party was to make a Pinkberry yogurt and topping combination that complimented our favorite summer outfits. Sounded easy enough until we couldn't make up our minds on which flavor to try. My group of friends happen to all be moms so we decided to take out little ones along as well. It is summer after all and the thought of not taking the kids for a cold treat is ridiculous. Prior to the party my friends and I sat down and decided that since it was hot that we would most likely opt for some fruity flavors. So we dressed in bright, fruity colors as did our children. We loaded them all up in a couple mini-vans and trekked up to Pinkberry in Rancho Cucamonga, California (super nice staff at this store!). We were not entirely sure where the Pinkberry was, but as we cruised near the building the kids spotted the store first and pointed excitedly. As we entered the store we were all impressed with the cool decor. One wall had Pinkberry to-go containers lining the wall and the tables and chairs were very pleasing to the eye. As we walked up to the counter we were kindly greeted by a couple of smiling young ladies who offered us samples. The kids chose watermelon to sample and instantly all of them decided that watermelon was going to be their choice. One kid decided on fresh strawberries as a topping and the other 3 followed along. My friends and I (who had all planned on fruity flavors) sampled the pomegranate and the salted caramel.
All plans of fruity creations were thrown out the window when we sampled the salted caramel. I do believe that one friend did get a mix/combo/swirl with pomegranate. I have to say that the salted caramel was wonderful, but it only got better when the girl behind the counter added a small sprinkle of sea salt. I have never tasted such a delicious flavor combination. My friends and I were all in agreement that Pinkberry was "freakin' awesome"! Since the party last weekend I have been to Pinkberry two other times! It's like an addiction for me now and the perfect compliment to my low calorie diet. I became a fan from the minute I tasted that first creamy sample.
