A Review of Blush Yogurt in Walnut Creek

     One of the best- kept secrets in Walnut Creek, California is Blush frozen yogurt. Blush is a new frozen yogurt shop in Walnut Creek, across the street from Whole Foods Market, which offers the area’s health conscious residents, a variety of soft serve frozen yogurt and other healthy desserts. There are five Blush yogurt shops in the Bay Area. The Walnut Creek store is a new addition and has been open one year. With its focus on organic, high quality, low- calorie desserts and reasonable prices, Blush frozen yogurt is a welcome addition to the Walnut Creek’s upscale downtown cafe and restaurant scene. Compared to the competition, Blush frozen yogurt is a unique dessert experience. The shop’s menu boasts an impressive array of organic frozen yogurt, fruit juice and yogurt blends and shaved ice. The frozen yogurt blends are manufactured with organic dairy products which are free from rgbh growth hormone, pesticides and antibiotics. In addition, Blush adds probiotics to their frozen yogurt, to facilitate calcium absorption, so it is healthier and more digestible. One of the nice things about Blush for health conscious people is their soft serve frozen yogurt, which is fat free and low calorie. According to the menu, one portion of frozen yogurt is only 80 calories. Besides delicious desserts, the customer service at Blush is superb, and the setting is casual and relaxed. The moment I entered the store, I noticed the atmosphere of the Blush shop which was comfortable, relaxed, and surprisingly cool on a hot summer day. The store’s casual decor; plain off white walls, neon sign with the Blush logo, small, modern round metal tables and chairs for costumers made me feel welcome. Blush is a comfortable, low- key atmosphere and the perfect place to visit on a hot summer day. Behind the clear see- through counter, there are varieties of frozen yogurt and colorful toppings including chocolate, fruit and nuts. David, a Blush cashier, and frozen yogurt enthusiast greeted me when I entered the store and explained the company philosophy. Blush believes in serving only the finest organic and pesticide free foods. The cashier proudly pointed to the low calorie frozen yogurt selections, and made sure I was aware that everything was gluten free, fruit juice sweetened, low fat and organic. After spending a frustrating hour in a Walnut Creek health food store speaking to employees who did not know the difference between organic, and non organic foods, visiting blush yogurt was a refreshing change. The cashier offered me a free sample of Blush yogurt, a combination of dragon berry and pomegranate. The frozen yogurt was soft, silky smooth with an excellent texture. The taste was tart and semi -sweet. Most soft serve frozen yogurt has a plastic artificial texture. Blush yogurt was refreshingly different. There was nothing artificial about Blush yogurt. It was fresh, delicious and authentic. I ordered a small cup, which I enjoyed. A small serving included a generous portion of frozen yogurt ice-cream with strawberry fruit toppings and was inexpensive. The cost was a little over three dollars. After eating a small cup of frozen yogurt, I was satisfied and guilt-free, because Blush is low fat and low calorie. The combination of customer service and organic, healthy deserts make Blush frozen yogurt, a store worth, visiting this summer.
