Yogurt might seem like a plain and simple meal, but hold your tongue until you’ve tried the new yogurt place, Weigh To Go, located just one block from the school. With seven machines, two flavors per machine, 33 toppings, and three canisters of Ghirardelli syrup, (not to mention the gluten free products, muffins, coffee, slurpees and Ben & Jerry’s) this new yogurt is sure to be a hot spot for health-conscious students looking for a delicious retreat during lunch periods.
“It’s like the Haagen-Dazs of yogurt,” owner Michael Banks said.
Banks hopes to cater to students by showing archives of varsity sports on television and Wi-Fi.
It seems that Banks has thought of every detail, even down to the pairing of flavors. For example, peanut butter and Hershey’s chocolate flavors can be swirled together, or dispensed separately from the same machine, to create a Reese’s yogurt blend with all the flavor, and hardly any of the calories. For reassurance, nutrition facts and charts are located just across from the yogurt machines.
Here, patrons can find yogurt that’s “tasty, and healthy for your digestive system,” employee and recent MHS graduate Andrea Keuchler said, “We have different flavors and more toppings which make us stand out from other yogurt places.”
Toppings range from freshly cut fruit, to everyone’s favorite sprinkles and syrup, and with a student discount, be sure to pile on the yogurt, and shed the weight. So as we start off the new school year, keep in mind that just a few doors down, students are welcome to enjoy the exciting side of yogurt that is Weigh To Go.
Best of all, MHS students and staff can get their yogurt at a discounted price of just 40 cents per ounce. Just text “STUDENT” to 516-628-6468.
