The name of this frozen yogurt shop in Pasadena stems from the shop’s original menu, which only had 21 choices, but now this place should be called Infinite Choices! At 21 Choices, you can create your own frozen yogurt masterpiece, and there are plenty of gluten free mix-in options to create delicious combinations. Think Cold Stone, but frozen yogurt – and this frozen yogurt is gourmet and tastier than any other soft serve!…
Similar to Cold Stone, you pick a frozen yogurt base (vanilla, chocolate, etc.) and then select from numerous mix-ins to perfect a frozen yogurt creation. The shop also has a pre-set menu of “21 choices.” Yes, a lot of these inventive combinations include mix-ins that contain gluten (many suggest mixing in cookie dough or cereal), but if you want to order one of their creative combinations you still can! Any of the mix-ins can be substituted for gluten free options, such as fresh fruit, different kinds of chocolate chips, marshmallows, sprinkles, peanut butter, Nutella, and more. You can even add coffee or soda to your creation – the liquid is poured onto the frozen stone and mixed into your yogurt after it freezes! There is a very low risk of cross contamination at 21 Choices, because each topping is kept in a completely separate bin, and the frozen stone is scraped clean for each order. Non-dairy yogurt options (made with organic soy milk) often appear on the shop’s menu too! When I went in for dessert last week I tried the (non-dairy) Peanut Butter Banana made with natural peanut butter, organic bananas, and soy milk – it was incredible!
With its creative combinations and great location on Colorado Boulevard it’s easy to understand why there’s always a line at 21 Choices. And with its all natural ingredients, 21 Choices serves up desserts you don’t have to feel guilty about! This flavorful froyo is a summer staple, especially in this hot California weather.
