National Frozen Yogurt Day

Yogurt was first invented over 4,000 years ago in the Middle East and India and then slowly made its way across the world over the centuries. But it wasn’t until the 1970’s the brilliant idea of freezing yogurt (and offering a ‘healthier’ alternative) created the taste sensation we love today.

How to Celebrate National Frozen Yogurt Day

1. Throw a 1980’s themed yogurt party
Frozen yogurt, as we know it today, first appeared on the scene in the 1980’s with the advent of the yogurt chain TCBY. To celebrate this inspired dessert, invite a bunch of friends to come dressed in their favorite 80’s attire, make a playlist of your favorite 80’s hits and buy pints of all your favorite flavors. Complete the menu by asking everyone to bring their favorite topping and let the party begin!

2. Check out your local frozen yogurt shops
Between frozen yogurt chains and local Mom and Pop shops, there’s no shortage of frozen yogurt places to try. Many of them will be offering specials on Feb. 6, so celebrate frozen yogurt’s special day by exploring your city to try all the flavors and toppings available. Not only will you get to know your city better, but you get treats all along the way.

3. Make a frozen yogurt cake
Combine two cups of ground graham crackers or your favorite cookie with a ½ cup of melted butter and firmly press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan. Scoop in your favorite yogurt flavor and top with some of your favorite toppings. Place your creation in freezer for an hour and presto, you are ready to serve your frozen yogurt cake for your next dessert.
