Frozen Yogurt at Carol's house yum.

Carol made us frozen yogurt because we live next to Berryline which makes frozen yogurt that may contain gluten, however, they are secretive about the ingredients which means we can't have it.

Carol's frozen yogurt
3 cups greek yogurt (GF!)
1/2 Cup sugar (maybe less)
1 tsp. vanilla

Put in an ice cream maker for 15 minutes.
It's delicious!

Anyways Carol thinks Berryline may have some relationship to the scandalous Pinkberry frozen yogurt which is why they are so secretive about their ingredients. Emulsifiers and stabilizers! and flavors that may contain gluten? I asked them both in writing and via email to let me know what is in it and they ignored the request. The owner sort of looked at me blankly and went into the back shrugging his shoulders. JP Licks just has a book with their ingredients as does TCBY.

Information on FDA food labeling : No current rule in place but one in the works.
