As the summer months approach, cold refreshing beverages and treats become essential to beat the blazing sun. But hardly do popsicles, ice cream cones and yogurt bars provide little or even any nutritional value.

Healthier alternatives to traditional unhealthy meals have become popular in recent years. The problem with these healthier sweet snacks is that they lack the “wow” factor with taste and texture. I’ve found throughout my ventures in healthier sweets that satisfying a sweet tooth and conscious caloric intake is easier said than done. That’s where Yasso comes into the picture.

The Colorado-based Yasso Frozen Greek Yogurt promises a “better-for-you dessert option” and whole-heartedly delivers. Their frozen Greek yogurt delights are only 100 calories with five grams of protein, so you can feel good about indulging your sweet tooth. With multiple dessert types — from bars to sandwiches to poppables — and flavors galore, there are multiple options to enjoy a cold delicacy.

Out of the copious flavor profiles to savor the sweetness, my roommates and I tried the black raspberry and chocolate chip cookie dough bars. The bars were creamy and smooth, with little bites of chocolate sweetening each mouthful. The berry flavor was delectable, and I was surprised and elated when I checked the nutritional label. My roommates preferred the chocolate chip cookie dough. The bars were gone from our freezer within the week.

My favorite way to enjoy a Yasso frozen dessert is on a sunny day laying out in the sun, or as a late night snack that I don’t have to feel guilty about. My go-to is the coffee poppable bites. Each box comes with six chocolate covered, bite-size frozen snacks to enjoy on the go or to share with friends. The textured chocolate cover makes every bite crunchy and creamy!

Supporting Yasso supports the greater Colorado community. The Game On! Foundation provides resources for a healthy lifestyle to activate wellness within to spread throughout. With the pillars of their image highlighting physical wellness, nutrition and mental health, their mission aligns with the values of many and supports those who lack the resources to stay fit.

“It was 2009 and the ice cream aisle was seriously lacking in great tasting, better-for-you dessert options,” the Yasso website says. “Using the creamy goodness of Greek yogurt, we introduced Yasso, mouthwatering indulgent desserts that taste as good as your ice cream shop favorites, but with nutritional benefits that allow you to enjoy anytime, anywhere.”

Many CBD companies out there make full-spectrum products, but @miraflora.co, a CBD company based in Boulder, CO, takes it to a whole new level, starting with the way they grow the hemp itself. Call it full-spectrum farming, if you will.

Can you create a to-do list prioritizing tasks where contentment and meaning mesh together?
@holisticyogaschoolcolorado was born over a decade ago with the intention to create a Yoga Shala, a community place for learning and growth. Krista Davis founded the school, drawing inspiration from many years of traveling, living and teaching in conscious communities and yoga centers around the world. To this day, the school continues to thrive as a family-owned and operated small business.
The benefits of meditation are alluring. However, there is no instant, one-size-fits-all solution — like most things in life. In fact, researchers recommend practicing meditation daily for at least 10 to 20 minutes to reap rewards. Most importantly, always remember: the only unsuccessful meditation is the meditation not taken.
@mnyogalifemag congratulations on your new issue! So happy we could celebrate at the virtual reveal party. Great work @amyzellmer and your amazing team, and gorgeous shot of cover model @ericka.jones_ !
