DALLAS, Nov. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- From the orchard to the cup. That's how Red Mango, the #1 Zagat-rated frozen yogurt and smoothies chain in America, describes the flavor quest for its newest frozen yogurt addition that debuts at locations nationwide today: Cinnamon Apple Orchard.

"I remember a school outing one fall when we picked fresh apples from a local farm," says Dan Kim, founder and chief concept officer for Red Mango. "The smell of cider being pressed, the crunch of the newly-fallen leaves in autumn, and the crisp snap of that first bite into that perfectly-ripe red delicious apple are indelible memories in my mind. I was on a mission to capture that sensation in a healthy and sumptuous frozen yogurt flavor for Red Mango and recreate that journey."

In a fashion that is uniquely Red Mango, Kim once again tossed out conventional food trials to borrow from total seasonal experiences in deciding how to advance the menu. The result is a flavor that makes an emotional connection in an all-natural way.

"I want a spoonful of our new Cinnamon Apple Orchard, with the flavor of freshly baked apples and a touch of spice, to bring back fond fall memories for customers and create a new way to enjoy a captivating taste experience," Kim said.

The latest addition to the award-winning menu furthers the goal for Red Mango to deliver indulgent flavors without the guilt in the healthiest way. At just 100 calories for a 1/2 cup, Cinnamon Apple Orchard frozen yogurt is nonfat, all-natural and rich in probiotics with GanedenBC30.

The new flavor is available as a limited-time-offer at locations nationwide while supplies last.
