Frozen Yogurt Toppings
Toppings are a critical part of frozen yogurt shop operations. They play a big role in customer satisfaction, but if not managed closely you an actually lose money on your toppings. You should try to be below 30 cents per ounce on your average toppings cost. If you can get down towards 23-25 cents per ounce you are doing great.
Be careful of expensive toppings that are very light, like whipped cream. Here are a couple of tricks to manage the more expensive toppings.:
- Put the most expensive toppings the farthest away from the last soft-serve machine so customers fill their cup on the less expensive toppings.
- Put the most expensive toppings at the back of the toppings bar so they are a little harder to reach.
- Use smaller serving spoons for the more expensive toppings.
Also, with fresh toppings, such as fruits, you should rotate the toppings to ensure that you always have fresh product in the toppings bar. If you have any problem with fruit flies contact us to purchase Fruit Fly Strips that will take care of the problem.
Here are suggested list of toppings. You can find recommendations for toppings supplies on our Equipment & Supplies page.

Are soft drinks and sugar as bad as cigarettes?
A recent study from he American Journal of Public Health has found that soft drinks and smoking cigarettes both speed up your body’s aging process. Drinking a 20 oz soda per day can lead to 4.6 years of additional aging, which is the same effect as smoking cigarettes.
The culprit in the soft drinks is the huge amounts of sugar. A 20 oz soda would have about 43 grams of sugar, which is about 3 Tablespoons.
Nanci’s Frozen Yogurt uses superior sweeteners, such as fruit sugar and stevia. Stevia is a natural sweetener that comes from a tropical leaf. It has no caloric impact and has a glycemic index rating of zero. Fruit sugar (pure fructose) does not require the same amount of insulin as table sugar and does not spike blood sugar levels like sugar.

Nanci’s Frozen Yogurt Announces PowerPro Active Cultures
Phoenix, Ariz. — Nanci’s Frozen Yogurt announced its new line of branded probiotic frozen yogurt mix with PowerPro Active Cultures. As an industry leader in providing shelf-stable, powder frozen yogurt mixes, Nanci’s has set a new standard for premium frozen yogurt, with superior taste, texture, flavor, and health benefits.
PowerPro Active Cultures uses micro-encapsulated probiotics, which keep the cultures active and protected in the dry form and in extreme heat. Unlike most probiotics that die at room temperature, PowerPro Active Cultures can be stored at room temperature for more than a year and still deliver the powerful probiotic benefits to frozen yogurt consumers.
Studies have shown that PowerPro Active Cultures deliver more live cells than other probiotic cultures on the market. PowerPro Active Cultures has a higher survival rate through the body’s intestines compared to most other live yogurt cultures.
“Our goal is to provide frozen yogurt store operators with products that are easy to use, taste great, and delivery real health benefits,” said Nanci’s CEO John Wudel. “PowerPro Active Cultures is a critical piece in achieving that goal. As an example, the intestinal tract contains 70% of the body’s immune system, which is why probiotics like PowerPro Active Cultures are so important for good health.”
