Shopping Paulista
Rua 13 de Maio, 1947 – Piso Paraíso
In front of the panoramic elevators
What a great find! I hadn't been to Shopping Paulista until today, and I was so happy to see yet another frozen yogurt store in the neighborhood. Of course, it's in the mall (not so spectacular)...but it's been raining so much it's nice not to have to wait in a long line in the rain! And what a line it was...about 20 people deep the entire time I was there.
It's the same, yet different. The lowfat tart yogurt is delicious. You have the option of smoothies (which look awesome) or - -and I haven't seen this in SP -- a sort of make-your-own fruit flavor yogurt. In addition to regular fresh fruit toppings, they have frozen fruits available to "mix in" to the plain yogurt. So, you can have FRESH mango frozen yogurt made right for you. I definitely will be back to try it.
Best part of Yogen Fruz? One topping is 1 real, but 3 toppings are only 2 reais. Makes you want to pile it on and enjoy the freshness of it all.

Sottozero (Jardins)
Multiple Locations
http://www.sottozero.com.br/
I admit, I was a skeptic. I am an ice cream snob and I really hate BAD, artificial-tasting fake ice cream. So when Sottozero was suggested over my fave place to get something cold for dessert, I went kicking and screaming. I'm glad we took the long walk down Augusta. :)
First, Sottozero isn't ice cream. It's Italian Gelato. In Austin, Texas, I was loyal to Teo, the local gelataria that I believe has the best gelato in the city. Sottozero, although a chain, and not quite as quaint or homey, has 5x as many flavors. I didn't taste all of them, but there wan't a bad one that I did taste.
Mostly, I was interested in the "natural yogurt" flavor, because that's the Yogurberry taste I am into these days. While the texture was different, the taste was quite similar. And for 9 Reais, you can get a lot more for your money. I'm not exactly sure how natural it is, but it tasted pretty fresh. I would definitely get it again. I complemented it with mango, which was, literally, like eating a mango. It was a perfect dessert.
There is a location in Shopping Ibirapuera among other places around the city, and I will definitely head back.

Yogurberry (Jardins)
Yogurberry
Alameda Lorena 1428
Jardins
http://www.yogurberry.com/
A few years ago, my friend, Tracy, took me to Pinkberry in LA. Pinkberry was calling itself "frozen yogurt", but there was some controversy over whether or not it WAS actually yogurt (live culture count, science talk, etc.). I don't remember the details, but just wikipedia-d it and found out that Pinkberry changed their recipe to meet the "yogurt standard" in April of 2008. That being said, I was excited to see the appearance of a similar franchise in my favorite neighborhood.
Not much on the menu...Original Yogurt or Green Tea...small, medium, large....and your choice of fresh fruit on top. The best words I can use to describe it? Healthy, delicious, refreshing. You can enjoy a frozen treat without all of the guilt that usually goes along with dessert at the end of the night.
The storefront itself is tiny, the lighting is bright, and the seating is limited. My suggestion: Get a large and take it to go...you'll be craving more by the time you get back to the Metro.
Pros: Zero fat, fresh fruit, "good bacteria", 100% natural
