Yogen Fruz is a wonderland for every sweet tooth out there, including mine. Trust me, with their tasty smorgasbord of light and dark chocolate sauces, fresh fruit toppings and all-natural syrups, you'll be like a kid in a candy store! It's almost impossible not to find a topping and flavor combo that will pacify those sugar cravings of yours. It was a divine experience just trying to choose my perfect treat!
Here's a bit of trivia for you: Yogen Fruz was founded in 1986 by a couple of ambitious brothers who bravely set up their first retail outlet at the Promenade Mall in Toronto. Who would've thought that these fledglings, sans any track record, would go on to create such an iconic brand? Their rapid success led to a country-wide expansion -- now that's what I call a sweet victory!
Your Health is Yogen Fruz's Priority
I love places that take my health as seriously as I do! Yogen Fruz has perfectly blended health and flavor in their menu. All their offerings are carefully crafted using all-natural ingredients like real fruits and probiotics, and there's no nasty preservatives or high fructose corn syrup anything. Their toppings are all-natural as well, so it's not just about the yogurt but the whole package. Talk about a healthy cheat day!
Healthy means Inclusive
And yes, even the vegans are catered for at Yogen Fruz with offerings like Blue Tropics and Dragon Fruit which are a delight. A full list of their vegan flavours can be found on their website. This addition to their menu is consistent with their health-conscious brand commitment.
Yogen what now?
One of the first things that intrigued me about the eatery is the play on words that makes up their name. The founders creatively used the words 'yogurt' and 'frozen' (which is the essence of what they offer) to come up with 'Yogen Fruz'. Their goal was to make eating yogurt fun and to be honest, they achieved just that for me.
And They're Everywhere!
If you are a froyo lover like me, you'll be thrilled to know there are over 60 Yogen Fruz locations across Canada and they continue expanding! Some of the newest inclusions are in Calgary and Edmonton. So if you're traveling Canada like I did and you need that sweet, icy delight, you know where you to find your munchies!
But is it Diabetes-Friendly?
People with diabetes probably have a hard time indulging in treats. But the great thing about frozen yogurt, especially the one from Yogen Fruz, is it's less fatty and sugary than your regular ice cream. Although it contains more calories and carbohydrates than ice cream, it's a safer alternative if you want to indulge sporadically. Plus, Yogen Fruz also offers sugar-free options.
Dietary needs? No problem!
Yogen Fruz has expanded its offerings to include sugar-free sorbet for those on a low-fat diet or looking to limit their sugar intake. There's also a protein-packed smoothie selection for post-workout munching or just to get you through the day. They really have something for everyone!
The Menu at Yogen Fruz is abundant with variety. Their popular u¨ sensations offer a range of delicious flavors like chocolate, mixed berry, and vanilla. However, if you're in the mood for a thirst quencher, the fru¨z tea, which comes in peach black tea, green tea, mango passion fruit tea, strawberry banana smoothie, and fresh lemonade flavors would be your best bet.
Frozen Heaven
I must say, the soft-serve frozen yogurt at Yogen Fruz gives a different twist to the regular ice cream experience. The serving size is more generous, and the light, fluffy texture means you can feast guilt-free! The variety of flavors is seasonal as well, so you can look forward to different choices throughout the year.
Exciting Flavours
Your taste buds are sure to go on a ride with Yogen Fruz's menu! The Chocolate Almond flavor was a personal favorite, while Cookies and Cream retains its classic charm. But the real showstopper is their new Raspberry White Chocolate - the rich chocolate and berries made it divine!
Smoothie Lovers Rejoice
If you're a smoothie aficionado, Yogen Fruz has got you covered with lip-smacking choices like Avocado Kale, Matcha Green Tea, Peach Berry Sunset, Strawberry Banana, and Raspberry Blast. Trust me, the Strawberry Banana is a classic that India has to offer.
