Why eat frozen yogurt?
Yogurt is naturally full of important essential nutrients like calcium, protein, potassium, vitamins D, B12 and B2, as well as, live active cultures. These nutrients build strong bones and teeth, boost your immune system, and speed up your digestive system. Yogurt has fewer calories and less saturated fat than ice cream. It's even been proven to clear up your complexion and freshen your breath.
Fairfield’s frozen yogurt companies all have a different twist. Whether you go for their specialty flavors, low calorie options, or exotic toppings, it'll be love at first swirl.
