Okay, we know that frozen yogurt had its heyday back in the 80’s with 
TCBY and other such shops. So why all the fuss now? The answer is simple – today’s frozen yogurt, is wonderfully represented by Berry Chill, a growing collection of whimsical contemporary stores in Chicago. Berry Chill’s frozen yogurt is deliciously and healthfully made – and filling – to the point where it could substitute for a light meal when you’re on the run. And please let healthfulness be a deciding factor: Berry Chill is filled with active cultures and is lactose and gluten-free.
The joys of Berry Chill derive from both the yogurt and the many toppings you can add to personalize your treat. Start out your adventure by choosing your choice of yogurt flavor. Usually there are four flavors to choose from and all have the texture of soft serve and a delightful tanginess that reminds you this is really yogurt, not ice cream or some other concoction. The standard flavor is a refreshing vanilla that goes nicely with all of the toppings. The other flavors vary from month to month. Usually they are a fruit flavor, such as mango, strawberry or peach. For July, the special flavors are Peach Mango, Pina Colada and Strawberry Banana.
Then choose your toppings. They fall into four categories: 1) fresh fruit, 2) candies, cookies and nuts 3) popular cereals, and 4) treats from local bakeries. Depending on your mood and what time of day it is, you may go in any one direction or choose toppings from all four categories.
The fresh fruit selections, combined with some granola or trail mix topping and sliced almonds, can turn your treat into a healthy light meal, with whole grains and anti-oxidants. Fruit choices include fresh blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, kiwi fruit, strawberries, mango, or watermelon.
The popular cereal toppings include the adult favorite, Kashi Go Lean! Crunch, and kids’ favorites such as Lucky Charms, Fruity Pebbles, Cap’n Crunch and Golden Grahams.
The candy, cookies and nuts toppings place your Berry Chill treat squarely in the dessert category. If you crave Girl Scout cookies all year, you’re in luck. Berry Chill offers bits of Thin Mints, Tag-a-Longs and Samoas. Other sweet-tooth choices include mini-chocolate chips, M&Ms, mini Oreos, shredded coconut, peanut butter covered pretzels, and sprinkles.
Finally, Berry Chill showcases toppings from local bakeries and food makers. Currently you can find toppings from Sarah’s Pastries and Candies, Milk & Honey Granola, and Leonard’s Bakery.
If you’re in the mood for something other than a dish of yogurt, try a BC Blast or BC Blender. Both are made from a flavor of yogurt and three toppings, but the Blast is served chunky style and the Blender is served like a smoothie. The Fro-J is another refresher, made from a choice of yogurt and fresh squeezed orange juice.
We couldn’t help but notice that the State Street location is open until 4 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. If you’ve been out clubbing till the wee hours, Berry Chill is a great way to wind down your evening. Chill.
