As registered dietitians and private trainers you'll think that since we eat a healthy diet, exercise and love veggies that we automatically must just not like sweets. Ha! If only!

The truth is we love chocolate and frozen desserts—and have an extended romance with fro-yo. It started in highschool when one our greatest friend’s worked at a Fro-yo store and she’d give us all the fro-yo we wanted—free! As students on a budget we weren’t shy and ate tons . Roughly four small frozen yogurts each! And we’d skip a healthy lunch and would find yourself eating those instead—Oy! Thank goodness we don’t do this anymore (yes, we didn’t feel so good the remainder of the afternoon) but that doesn’t mean we love fro-yo any less!


And if you're keen on fro-yo (or other frozen ice cream-like desserts) the way we do, you’ll completely get why we’re super excited to introduce our latest love… yogurt Bark with Blueberries and Pomegranate…and it’s only 18 calories per piece of heaven!


If it’s a hot summer day, and you’re craving a bowl of your favorite frozen dessert but you don’t want all the sugar that comes along side it, or you’re jonesing for something quick, light and refreshing to squash a appetite , this bark are going to be your new bestie– right within the convenience of your freezer once you need it most!

Not only is that this bark only 18 calories for every 2-inch piece– and low in sugar too– it’s also full of many beneficial nutrients. Yogurt is crammed with probiotics, helping to stay your gut healthy and helping to spice up your immunity. Both blueberries and pomegranate arils are antioxidant powerhouses, helping to guard your body from harmful free radicals that damage your body and your skin which speed the aging process. Consuming these antioxidants helps keeps your cells healthy! And healthy cells = happy you! And fro-yo (in any form) = a cheerful us!
