When is National Frozen Yogurt Day?
Monday February 6thOn February 6th, the United States Frozen Yogurt Day honors a sweet frozen dessert that has gone from fad status to a staple freezer item in a few decades.
As people seek a healthier alternative to ice cream, frozen yogurt sales are on the rise every year. The explosion of flavors and topping choices has contributed to the success of frozen yogurt.
In 1970, H.P. Hood introduced the first frozen yogurt in the United States. It was developed as a soft-serve treat called Frogurt. Not long afterward, Humphreys and Dannon introduced their own frozen yogurt versions. In the 1980s, frozen yogurts "health food" status, largely due to the fact that it grew in the 1980s. Ice cream manufacturers soon caught on, offering low-fat options.
As consumers return to the tart taste of yogurt, frozen yogurt is making a comeback. Not only does it make its way into home freezers, but it also serves as a welcome break after work or play.
