Shake Shack black and white malted milk shake: A thick, rich milkshake made of high quality vanilla and chocolate ice cream. I love malted milkshakes, and the extra $0.50 for malted is definitely worth it. Needs to be paired with a tall glass of water. Definitely not for the faint of heart but a treat once in a while (it's about 1/3 of your daily calories). 4.0/5.0

Trader Joe's nonfat plain Greek yogurt: Of all the store branded Greek yogurt I've tried, TJ's is the best value. The yogurt is thick with a neutral flavor that is a great base for any fruit or toppings you care to add. 4.0/5.0

Goldberg & Sons bitter lemon soda: Meant to be used a mixer, this soda is refreshing all on its own, with a clear acidic lemon flavor that's just sweet enough. The best part is the carbonation, which is the ideal strength and has more refined, smaller bubbles than typical seltzers. 4.0/5.0

Grom torroncino gelato: I've been to Grom in NYC and also in Paris, but I was excited to try it in its originating country: Italy. During my trip to Trento, I bought the most Italian flavor I saw: torronico. The gelato is creamy and rich, and they mix in bits of almond nougat that are crunchy and nutty. The best part was definitely the texture; overall, the flavor was just a tad too sweet. I've heard from the locals that Grom has lost a bit of its artisanal street cred because of its recent acquisition by a large c... (read more) 3.5/5.0

Happy Lemon special cooler lemon slush: I'm not sure what special cooler means, but this Taiwanese drink chain continues to be one of my favorite places to visit when I'm in Flushing, Queens. This slush was on the sweet side but was also pleasantly tart and contained what seemed to be jelly bits (I didn't pay for any add-ins, so this was a pleasant surprise). Perfect for warm days. 4.0/5.0
