Robeks Is the First Smoothie Franchise to Offer Smoothies With Greek Yogurt

LOS ANGELES, CA - (Marketwire - Sep 25, 2012) - Greek yogurt has been filling up and flying off grocery store shelves for the past few years. By some industry estimates, Greek yogurt now accounts for 25 percent of the yogurt sold in the United States.

The reason: Greek yogurt is extremely healthy -- even better than regular yogurt, with more protein, less sugar, less sodium and fewer calories. Americans are quick to recognize a valuable new superfood -- and so is Robeks.

Robeks this week unveiled three new smoothies made with premium Greek yogurt. It's another industry first for Robeks, which introduced smoothie bowls last year and has rolled out an expanded menu of fresh vegetable juices this year.

"Our guests are looking to optimize their health, and Greek yogurt allows us to offer even more nutritional benefits while still maintaining great taste," said Robeks CEO Steve Davidson.

The Greek yogurt smoothies: Emperor Açaí, which combines it with açaí, strawberries and blueberries; Strawberry Temple, with strawberries; and Spartan Berry, with blueberries. Any other smoothie on the Robeks menu can be made using Greek yogurt, too.

What makes Greek yogurt special?

The premium Greek yogurt Robeks uses has double the protein of regular yogurt, fewer carbohydrates, and is 100 percent natural. It has a slightly tart flavor and smooth texture. The difference lies in a straining process that removes liquid whey and lactose, a milk sugar.

"The extra protein is great for people who want to cut down on carbs," said Robeks Chief Marketing Officer Chad Bailey. "It makes Greek yogurt smoothies even more filling, whether you're having one as a meal or a healthy treat."
