3 On-Trend Ways to Bring Yoplait® ParfaitPro® to K-12

There’s no denying it: deliciously cool and refreshing coffee drinks are hot right now. In fact, 37% of 13-18 year olds consumed a coffee beverage within the past day.¹ Kids love these kinds of beverages because they’re easy to drink and great to take on-the-go. (Pro-tip: Coffee drinks made with yogurt are especially good for filling up active, growing kids because of their high protein content!)

Serve coffee shop-inspired YoGo Coolers, made with Yoplait^® ParfaitPro^® yogurt, at school to encourage students to choose your offerings rather than getting cold coffee drinks elsewhere. Here are three on-trend ways to do it:

1. YoGo Coffee Coolers
   Bring a nutritious, delicious and fast-casual style coffee shop version of the popular coffee drink to your school with YoGo Coffee Coolers. Pair a Coffee Cooler with a filled crescent for a combo kids will crave, or top a cooler with colored sprinkles for one week only and make it a fun limited time offer!
   
   

   Plus, depending on your school’s preference, you can serve on-trend YoGo Coolers with or without coffee. Check out the YoGo Coffee Cooler Recipe Book and continue reading for more great ways to incorporate this coffee drink trend.
