Frozen Yogurt: My Only Weakness-HELP!
Started

Recently, I started to seriously transition into veganism after being a strict vegetarian for eight years, but have come across one little problem: I LOVE frozen yogurt. As a college student, my friends and I often head out to Yogurtland or Pinkberry on a weekend night to grab a quick froyo before going out. It's become a part of our routines, and I'm bummed I won't be able to participate anymore (although I do know I'm doing something good for the animals by avoiding dairy.) I've tried the vegan options at several self-serve yogurt stores but none are satisfying for me :(
I'm worried that my love for this sweet frozen treat will be my only weakness as I pursue a vegan diet. Does anyone else have this problem? Can anyone offer tips?
For at home, I keep a small container of frozen soy ice-cream or some homemade "frozen banana bites":

.....this satisfies my little urges for something creamy & frozen.
Can't offer any advice for when you are out w/friends, though. For me, I actually prefer a good sorbet to frozen yogurt... I've come to really dislike any kind of milk taste.
Oh you have to try Rice Dream bars- they are fantastic.
Also the movies that the farm sanctuary has make you never want to have frozen yogurt again. Thinking about eating puss and having those poor cows hooked up to a machine all day for my enjoyment ruined it for me.
But seriously, try Rice Dream.
