National Frozen Yogurt Day is an American holiday dedicated to this delicious dairy dessert. Celebrated every year on February 6, frozen yogurt is a tasty fermented milk alternative to classic ice cream. It’s considered a healthier treat with a wide variety of flavors.
History
The earliest forms of yogurt were made in ancient Babylon and India, dating back more than 4,000 years. Today, yogurt plays an important role for those who support healthy eating, offering a great alternative to other desserts. Its natural sweetness from berries and fruit, combined with its health benefits, makes yogurt popular around the world.
Yogurt began gaining popularity in the United States at the beginning of the 20th century. In the 1970s, ice cream was in high demand. An enterprising individual decided to freeze yogurt, creating a tasty and—most importantly—healthy dessert that many now prefer over regular ice cream.
