DALLAS, May 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Welcome to the "Month of the Mango!"  Red Mango is proud to announce that for the month of May, it has teamed up with The National Mango Board to celebrate and increase awareness of the mango, one of the world's most popular fruits that is rich in antioxidants and contains over 20 vitamins and minerals.  Mango fruit lovers can now get their daily fix at participating Red Mango® stores in three delicious ways: as our all-natural frozen yogurt, as a fresh fruit topping, or as our refreshing Tropical Mango smoothie.

The National Mango Board, which is the nation's leading research organization tasked with increasing the awareness of mango's health benefits, will also be providing cases of freshly picked mangos as a prize supplier in the company's spring "Share the Love" gift card sweepstakes, available at Red Mango.  As an added bonus, all Club Mango® loyalty program members who are active and registered as of May 2 will automatically receive a coupon good for $1 off a Tropical Mango smoothie at participating Red Mango stores, which can be redeemed through June 3.

"We believe in delighting our consumers in naturally delicious ways.  Our popular Mango flavored frozen yogurt is a clear reflection of our commitment to healthy, great tasting treats, especially when topped with slices of market-fresh mango," said founder and chief concept officer of Red Mango, Dan Kim.

All consumers can enjoy ripe and juicy mango with our all-natural, nonfat mango frozen yogurt along with other delicious toppings such as pumpkin flax seed granola, graham cracker crumbs, and honey.  Or, they can refresh themselves with our all-natural Tropical Mango smoothie, made with fresh mango that's never frozen, and our award-winning nonfat probiotic yogurt.
