Did you know?
The concept of adding fruit to yogurt commercially began in the 1940s when Dannon in the US added fruit preserves to the bottom of yogurt containers — customers stirred it in. This innovation transformed yogurt from a health food eaten by recent immigrants into a mainstream American product. The frozen yogurt trend peaked in the 1980s and 1990s when TCBY and other chains promoted it as a healthy ice cream alternative. The homemade frozen yogurt treats made for dogs follow the same basic concept — frozen dairy base with fruit.
