Nutrition Tips

  • Opt for fresh fruit toppings instead of sugary syrups or candy bits.
  • Check the label for 'Live and Active Cultures' to ensure you are getting probiotic benefits.
  • Be mindful of portion sizes at self-serve shops where large cups are the standard.
  • Fat-free versions often compensate for flavor by adding more sugar.
  • Pair your yogurt with nuts to add protein and healthy fats, which help slow sugar absorption.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is frozen yogurt healthier than ice cream?+

Frozen yogurt is typically lower in fat and calories than ice cream. However, it can have similar or even higher sugar content, so it should be enjoyed in moderation.

While freezing slows down the bacteria, many live and active cultures survive the process and can still provide digestive benefits.

A small (150g) serving of plain low-fat frozen yogurt is about 240 calories, but toppings like chocolate or syrup can easily double that amount.
