Gluten Free Product Review | ProYo

With so many A+mazing things happening in the world of theglutenfreechefblog Omnimedia, LLC I can barely remember what I did this morning let alone how theglutenfreechef connected with the fine folks over at ProYo HQ. Whenever, wherever and however it was, I am more than elated that I am not only a Product Ambassador (along with my Afterschool Program) but a more than satisfied customer.
For those of you UnHip to this cool, creamy frozen delight, ProYo is a high-protein frozen yogurt blend that combines delicious taste, powerful nutrition, clean ingredients, and a touch of delight.

In other words, ProYo is the stuff of your dreams. Heaven in a squeeze tube. A revolution in frozen confections and the delight of children aged six years and older 🙂

Seriously, ProYo is amazing stuff. Cool, creamy and packed chock full of whole, real, and clean ingredients it contains only 140 calories (per tube), four flavors, and fun easy packaging that renders spoons a relic of a past life. Each ProYo (tube) contains five probiotic cultures, 20 grams of protein, and organic agave inulin fiber. But make no mistake, ProYo is a healthy treat that tastes like magic (and not cardboard) and won’t make you feel like you cheated on your diet.

ProYo is a healthy treat that tastes like magic, not cardboard 🙁

With artisanal flavors like Blueberry Pomegranate, Banana Vanilla and simple flavors like Chocolate and Vanilla each ProYo blend is chock full of flavor and taste from real simple ingredients. Created for busy parents, active adults and everyone in between; this frozen yogurt can be eaten as a quick high protein breakfast with fruit, added to a kale smoothie, or as the perfect ending to a tasty dinner.

ProYo was created with a mission by a founder with a passion to create something good out of tragedy. The parallels of this brand to THIS brand is no coincidence. Good people find good people and I am happy ProYo found us.

There’s a flavor for every taste and goodness in each and every “push”. Gluten Free. Junk Free. Kosher. Non-GMO. Soy Free. Low-Glycemic. And a box that’s 100% recyclable; my check list was complete as soon as I opened my first box and when my afterschool Program scholars approved as well, the deal was sealed.

I love ProYo. We love ProYo. And I know you will too

Rating 5/5
