Foodie Fridays: Yogen Früz - Authentically Good!



Who knew nutritious could be so delicious? With 1400 stores around-the-world (16 located in the Chicagoland area) and in 42 countries, Yogen Früz is no 'johnny-come-lately' to the frozen yogurt industry. Established in 1986 in Toronto, Canada, the company has been a sleeping giant waiting to be awakened!



C-Style recently met with Terry Eck (president and master franchisee for Illinois and Iowa), who took us behind-the-scenes on how Yogen Früz  is made and delivered to its customers.

First, Yogen Früz is made with real fruit. Let us repeat that. Real fruit.  We quickly discovered that a lot of products being labeled as such on the market only contains small percentages (if any) of the real thing. Sadly, government regulations in the U.S. allow this to happen.

Terry explained it this way, "As a consumer, it makes me angry. It's false advertising." "The prettier the label, the dirtier the truth." The FDA puts it this way. "We have not objected to the use of the term "natural" if the food does not contain added color, artificial flavors, or synthetic substances." Yet so-called "natural" foods can still contain a wide range of processed sweeteners, lab-produced "natural" flavors.colors, additives and preservatives.

That is an incredible statement to make, but, it is what the Yogen Früz brand is all about -authenticity. Terry puts it most succinctly, "Your well-being is our passion."

So what can you expect from Yogen Früz? Yogen Früz has perfected the fruzion technique for delivering yogurts' healthiest choice. Fresh fruit blended into yogurt to deliver the full benefits of all the vitamins, fiber and flavor of traditional yogurt and fresh fruit.





Yogen Früz's baristas (yes, we said baristas) handcraft each treat with pure and simple ingredients: probiotic yogurt, whole fruits, whole vegetables and juices to provide the healthiest way to enjoy their extensive menu as well as support your health.

Finally, you will not find any high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavoring, artificial food coloring, potassium sorbate, or MSG in Yogen Früz products. Plus, all products are kosher certified!



So what about taste, you say? Simply incredible! The three treats we tasted (pumpkin, pineapple, and coffee) were beyond good! The flavors pop on your palate. Cold, delicious, smooth and creamy, Thoughts of how nutritious it is take a back seat to the flavorful goodness of it all!



The vast menu boasts yogurt with an unlimited variety of toppings, NuSensations, froyo smoothies, and froyo shakes!  Whatever you decide to indulge in will not disappoint!

Yogen Früz is a way to eat nutritiously and deliciously, all while keeping it real. Real products that are authentically good! 

We encourage you to treat yourself well.  Find out where your nearest Yogen Früz location is at www.yogenfruz.com.
