The options for cold, creamy, sweet treats have really gone downhill.

While scanning the sugar-free, low-fat, low-carb dessert options you ask yourself, "Do I want the chocolate fudge with chemical undertones? Or white chocolate with a weird grainy texture?"

Ew. There's nothing tasty about that. Or healthy for that matter.

But Fruchi is a different story. It's an individually packaged smoothie that is actual blended-in-MN fruit, fruit juice and sherbet or yogurt. Nonfat selections include Berry Blitz, Caribbean Craze, Raz-Pizzazz and Strawberry Escape.

Now or soon-to-be-available at just about every grocery store in the Twin Cities (Kowalski's, Lunds, Byerly's and Cub) and Target Field, so you can finally take a break from your usual frozen dessert.

Not to mention morning-after remorse.

Fruchi, approximately $2.75, available at Kowalski's, Lunds and Byerly's.
