Fruit Yo's is an innovative and fun fruit snack made from real milk. Current fruit snacks are convenient, but they lack the calcium and protein that can be found in milk. Yogurt, on the other hand, contains the nutrition of milk, but it is missing the convenience of a shelf stable product. Fruit Yo's fills this need by combining the nutrition of yogurt and fruit into a shelf stable snack.
