History of National Frozen Yogurt Month

National Frozen Yogurt Month kicked off its sweet journey in the summer vibes of 1993. The mastermind behind this chilly celebration was none other than TCBY, a big name in the fro-yo world.

They decided that June, with its sunny days and cool nights, was the perfect time to honor this frosty treat. And so, a new tradition was born, making June the coolest month to enjoy a cup or cone of your favorite frozen yogurt​​.

Frozen yogurt started to make waves in the 1970s. Initially dubbed “frogurt,” it was seen as a hip, healthier sibling to traditional ice cream.

As the taste and recipes evolved, so did its popularity. By the time the 1980s rolled around, shops like TCBY were popping up everywhere, turning frozen yogurt into a nationwide sensation​​.

The magic of National Frozen Yogurt Month lies not just in celebrating the treat but also in embracing its variety.

From tangy to sweet and from plain to piled-high with toppings, there’s a fro-yo out there for everyone.

Whether you scoop it up at a shop or whip it up in your kitchen, June is the time to dive into the delicious world of frozen yogurt and maybe even discover your new favorite flavor!
