Yasso

What Yasso does

Yasso is a frozen Greek yogurt brand that produces and distributes better-for-you frozen desserts across the United States. Founded in 2009 by childhood friends and former college athletes Amanda Klane and Drew Harrington, the company uses strained Greek yogurt as its base ingredient, delivering higher protein content (4-19g per serving depending on format) and lower calories (35-410 per serving) than traditional ice cream. Its product portfolio spans five core formats: stick bars (80-170 calories, 4-5g protein), chocolate crunch bars dipped in chocolatey quinoa coating, Spoonables pints (18-19g protein), Poppables bite-sized pieces (35 calories), and sandwiches, plus a single-serve cup format sold at warehouse clubs.

The company distributes through major national retailers including Costco, BJ's Wholesale Club, Target, and grocery chains, with products positioned in the freezer aisle as a healthier alternative to traditional ice cream. Most products are Kosher certified, with select bar flavors gluten-free, and the line avoids sugar alcohols. Marketing is driven by social media engagement, celebrity partnerships (Bethenny Frankel, Chelsea Handler), sweepstakes campaigns, and the founder-led Game On! 501c3 foundation. Yasso is currently owned by The Magnum Ice Cream Company, a subsidiary of Unilever, and incorporated in Colorado with offices in Boulder. The company has no direct e-commerce channel, operating as a pure-play wholesale CPG brand.
