Much like Ted Williams and Barbaro, yogurt is full of so much greatness that it must be frozen so it can be shared with future generations. Savor soothing icy treats with today’s Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of yogurt, parfaits, frozen pies, and more at TCBY’s Metairie location.

TCBY (aka The Country's Best Yogurt) serves 96% fat-free yogurt containing benevolent bacterial cultures that assist the body with digestion and nutrient absorption. The Metairie location dishes up cups of silky soft-serve in flavors such as golden vanilla and white-chocolate mousse ($3.25–$4.25). Top your probiotic-packed treat with strawberries, gummy bears, coconuts, or a host of other toppings ($0.69–$0.99). TCBY's Beriyo smoothies—potent potions such as Strawberry Bananza and Berrilicious—contain real-dairy frozen yogurt blended with bushels of fresh fruit ($4.25–$5.49). Celebrate successfully evading a baby raincloud with a hand-scooped traditional sundae ($4.99). Prices and selection vary from store to store.

TCBY has been serving tangy frozen treats since 1981, long before fro-yo became as popular as googly eyes. The company aims to offer iced delight enthusiasts a healthy alternative to chunks of ice cream or bacon-wrapped chunks of ice cream.

• I just bought some strawberry yogurt that is 100 percent fat free and sugar free. What a deal and healthy and delicious besides. I Love TCYB! Plus it is 92 degrees, can't think of a better way to cool off. – Judy Adams, Facebook
