Get Twisted!

You know when you've been really really good to yourself? You've eaten the right mix of carbs, protein, vegetables, fruit and fibre and you feel so energetic you could run a marathon? You know that moment when you feel like something cold, sweet and delicious but you don't want to ruin the great way you feel? Well, now you can get TWISTED!

Looking like it wouldn't look out of place in New York, Twisted is a newly opened frozen yoghurt cafe in Bondi but if you think this is just another frozen yoghurt, think again. The co-founder of the company, Cassandra Spies, spent quite a while researching the product and with her background in food technology, she has hit upon the most luscious, smooth, mouth-fulfilling, creamy, un-yoghurt like frozen yoghurt I have ever tried. It's made from freshly made yoghurt everyday, yes folks, it's NOT a premix!





There are 20 individual flavours on rotation so you can select one or many and because it's 98% fat free, you can give yourself a little indulgence with a vast selection of healthy or decadent toppings, including the latest addition, mini mochi!

You can mix and match whatever takes your fancy!

Then, each week, she makes up 3 fresh combinations of 6 flavours which are served individually or twisted together into witty duets and served out of soft-serve dispensers.


The day we arrived, we tried:




Knickers In A Twist or Chocolate & Coconut,




Berry Bliss, a combination of Acai Berry (more about that later) and Raspberry




and Loudmouth Lime which is Lime and Original twisted together.




Much more information is available on their website.

It's not just about dessert though! In addition to the frozen yoghurt, Twisted also offers pro-biotic smoothies using a combination of their yoghurt, organic non-fat milk and acknowledged "power" foods such as Green Tea, Goji and Acai and Blueberries.

 

You can also up the ante by adding protein powder to your smoothie or shake, making it a healthy and sustaining breakfast.

Did I say breakfast? Yes, they do that too!

A special mention should be made of the high quality Acai Berries which are sourced, sustainably and ethically, direct from the Brazillian Rainforest, freeze dried and distributed in Australia by the lovely people at RioLife. 1% of the profits are returned to the Amazon communities who help cultivate the berries. Rich in antioxidants and anecdotally considered a natural panacea for many diseases, it is a delicious addition to the Twisted menu.

Back to the yoghurt though. If you don't live close enough to get your hit there every day, there are 500ml or 1 litre take home packs available. Ours was still good and frozen having been stored in a cooler bag, sat with through a 2 hour dinner and a half hour drive home.

Lucky people of Bondi! The good news is that Cass has plans to open more stores in Sydney. I sure hope she opens one up near me!  : )

 

P.S. Twisted can currently be found at 36 Hall Street, Bondi. They're open 10.00 am to 10.00 pm most days and 9.00 am to 10.30 pm Saturday and Sunday.
