Why We Love National Frozen Yogurt Day
Well duh, it’s delicious!
There are few things as wonderful as a cup of frozen yogurt from your favorite shop covered with delicious toppings... With so many flavors to choose from, including the new trend of tart flavors, it’s hard to imagine a more perfect treat to enjoy any time of the day or night.
It can make you healthier
Although it can have as many calories as ice cream, according to the Livestrong website, “yogurt with probiotic cultures, including frozen varieties, can help maintain and improve heart and blood vessel health." Additionally, bacteria naturally occurring in yogurt, even the frozen kind, could possibly have a positive effect on your digestive system.
Frozen yogurt is a cultural icon
Joking that she would be remembered as the “frozen yogurt justice”, Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan had the first frozen yogurt machine installed in the Supreme Court cafeteria. And, in keeping with its practice of naming each version of the Android OS after a dessert, Google named its 2010 Android 2.2 release “Froyo”.
