Back in December, Danone North America Away from Home teamed up with 7-Eleven stores to launch a unique offering: the Apple Pie Parafit.
Made with Oikos Greek Nonfat Yogurt, the six-ounce Apple Pie Parfait combined the creaminess of yogurt, with the crunch of apples, a dash of cinnamon, and a sweet granola and pecan topper. As Surbhi Martin, VP of Greek and Functional Nutrition at Danone North America, explained "Together we developed the Apple Pie Parfait made with Oikos Nonfat Greek Yogurt to meet several top trends among convenience store shoppers, including the desire for on-the-go options, nostalgic flavors and indulgent tastes."
The Apple Pie Parfait was available at 7-Eleven stores across the U.S. through January and February of 2022.
