First Mover in Industry to Launch Frozen Soft Serve Form of Fresh Greek Yogurt: Indulge in Nutritional Benefits with Classic TCBY Taste

Salt Lake City, UT (April 5, 2012) – TCBY, the category pioneer and innovator, has done it again. Just a year after setting the standard for nutrition with the launch of the Super Fro-Yo classification, TCBY announces the next evolution of soft serve frozen yogurt with the first-to-market Greek Fro-Yo, available in stores nationwide today.

Honey Vanilla will be the first flavor to launch, which packs a nutritional punch including twice the amount of protein found in Super Fro-Yo. With only 110 calories, 0 grams of fat and 20 percent of daily requirements for both calcium and vitamin D, this yogurt boasts a tangy texture that leaves you full and satisfied. Offered toppings suggested to complement and enhance the yogurt’s flavor include honey, granola and fruit.

“Consumers look to Greek yogurt as a satisfying, filling and healthy option In fact, Greek yogurt is 76 percent more likely to be eaten as a meal replacement,” says Dr. Wayne Geilman. “Greek Fro-Yo moves beyond just a snack or treat, serving up a more robust meal option and including toppings such as fruit, honey and granola.”

Over the past five years, the percentage of adults interested in adding more protein and probiotics to their diets has pragmatically increased, according to a study released by MSN. It is due to these healthier eating aspirations, that is driving Greek yogurt growth. Greek yogurt is growing at a compound annual growth rate of 130 percent and has evolved from relative obscurity to the segment driving the vast majority of category growth. In support of the poised growth, TCBY plans to introduce additional new flavors to the marketplace in summer 2012.

“For 30 years, we have been challenging our Research and Development team of nutritionists and flavor profilers to continue to exceed the healthy nutritionals in our products,” states Tim Casey, President and CEO, TCBY. “We knew after revolutionizing the industry with Super Fro-Yo standards in 2011, we would need to break new ground. What we came up with is the healthiest product on the market – Greek Fro-Yo. What you will experience is a richer texture and pleasingly tangier tasting frozen yogurt that is loaded with healthy attributes.”
