yogen fruz 2012

An interesting study revealed that fat is shed when there are more individuals in a shared space.

This led us to thinking - the more engaging the environment, the more calories we could burn!

Although this study is still in its early stages, it gives us a great reason to get a bunch of friends together for an evening of board games and giggles (feel those abs crunch!) The options are as endless as your friend list on Facebook!

         As they say, the more the merrier – and now, the healthier!

The worst of winter is not over just yet, however we are getting super excited to see the pops of colour in our wardrobe this spring season! The top colours are bright, bubbly and bursting with boldness! We’re also seeing some striking similarities with the colours of the season and the colours of some of our fave YF mixes and toppings! Matching our strawberry smoothie to our sundress? Yes, please!

A new year, a new you, at least that’s the goal! And while we are sure you’re perfect, here’s a list of the top 10 New Year’s resolutions:

1. Quit a bad habit.

2. Lose weight and get fit.

3. Travel more.

4. Organize yourself.

5. Be more charitable.

6. Stay informed. Keep your mind alert.

7. Get out of debt.

8. Devote more time to your hobbies.

9. Go green.

10. Conquer a fear.

How will you lüv life in 2012?

Whether you are in New York, Miami, Toronto, Mexico, Greece or Saudi Arabia, be sure to check out our new Ü Serve locations!  This cool concept lets you explore your inner ‘Yogurtista’.  Fill the cup with your favorite froyo, then top it off with fresh fruit or other healthy and indulgent toppings, then weigh & pay.  It’s as easy as 1,2,3 (literally)!  The froyo possibilities are just as endless as your imagination!  See you soon!

The holidays are here! And while we are sure you love everything there is to love about the most wonderful time of the year, sometimes we can fall a little too in love (cough cough third glass of egg nog).  Here are five ways to avoid putting on the holiday pounds without avoiding your favourite festive fillings!

1.    Eat Regularly: It gets super busy this time of the year causing major diet disruptions. We can go hours without eating when we are in a ‘gift wrap zone’ and then over indulge when we are in ‘party zone.’ Avoid eating irregularly; keep snacks handy and healthy. We recommend a Yogen FrÜz fruit cup – its heart-healthy and full of flavour!

2.    Sleep: Make sure your counting your sheep during the holidays! Catching major z’s will reduce stress and help boost your metabolism.

3.    Exercise: You’ve got a million and one things to do before the 24th, how will you ever find the time to hit the elliptical. Don’t worry; exercising comes in all shapes and forms (literally). Take a brisk walk while catching up with visiting family or do some crunches while watching your fave Christmas special!

4.    Relax: The holidays are all about enjoyment, however sometimes relaxing and enjoying are not one in the same. Make sure to breathe, relax and take time for Ü.  Read that book you just bought or enjoy your favorite froyo with a friend.

5.    Indulge Moderately: How could anyone say no to a turkey dinner with all the fixings? You don’t have to. Enjoy everything in moderation. Have your CARBniverous meal with a glass of water instead of wine or substitute bread for more veggies. Whatever you do make sure to treat yourself, you’ve been so good this year!

What is that tennis term again, 15-love? Well take away the 15 and you got a word that best describes our feelings towards Blake Strode! The sensational tennis star also happens to be a huge fan of Yogen Fruz. Maybe it’s because we provide delicious and nutritious frozen deserts, a flavourful addition to healthy and active living!

Oh, and that tall, handsome fella to the right? That’s John Isner! He holds the record for the longest match in recorded history – 11 hours in length! Talk about endurance! Check out the picture below!

P.s. We want a YF patch too (better get workin’ on that forehand)!

You know those gifts you büy for friends and family that you really wish you could keep all for yoürself? This is one of them. At most of our US locations we have collectible gift cards available, designed to evoke memories of all things Yületide. So hurry quick to your closest Yogen Früz and grab one for the perfect stocking stüffer before they’re gone. And while you’re there you might as well grab one for yourself – after all, they are limited-edition collectibles ;)
