Frozen Yogurt Tip: DON’T think sugar-free means healthier.

The absence of sugar can mean the presence of artificial sweeteners, which can actually stoke your sweet tooth, making you crave even more. “There is no way you can look at a frozen yogurt and tell if it’s all natural or made with artificial ingredients,” says Sass. So be sure to check out the ingredient list, which is often posted on machines or available in a brochure near the register.

Sure, swirling your two favorite flavors sounds like a great idea, but there’s a good reason to resist. “We have a limit where our taste buds start fatiguing on a certain flavor,” Blatner says. “If you pick only one topping and flavor, you actually feel way more satisfied than if you were picking multiple things.”

First, add bigger fruits like whole strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries; they’ll help your cup look fuller, says Dawn Jackson Blatner, R.D.

Frenzi Frozen Yogurt_Top 3 Health Benefits of Frozen Yogurt

Frozen yogurt is great ice cream alternative while satisfying your sweet tooth. With so many flavors and toppings to choose from you can enjoy a different frozen yogurt experience every time! Not only is frozen yogurt delicious it has great health benefits as well.

Nutrients

The site “World’s Healthiest Foods” recommends yogurt because it is also rich in nutrients, including essential minerals and vitamins for overall body health. Minerals in yogurt include calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, selenium and zinc, which are important for the healthy formation of cells, bones, teeth and for the function of the nervous and immune systems. The UK Dairy Counsel advises that yogurt and frozen yogurt treats are also rich in essential water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins. These include vitamins B-2, B-12 and B-1. When the frozen yogurt is made from enriched milk, it will also contain the fat-soluble vitamins A and D.

Digestive Health

Frozen yogurt contains the digestive benefits of probiotics. The health website AskDrSears.com explains that the lactic acid bacteria used to produce yogurt includes Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaris. These bacteria enhance digestive function, reduce allergic reactions and may aid in lactose digestion in individuals with lactose intolerance. Yogurt also helps to decrease symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD.

Cardiovascular Health

Yogurt, including frozen varieties, also helps to maintain and improve heart and blood vessel health by helping to convert fiber to healthy fats that promote good cholesterol levels. This helps to increase levels of healthy cholesterol called high density lipids, or HDL and decrease levels of unhealthy low density lipids, or LDL. The health site “World’s Healthiest Foods” notes that this effect can help to decrease the risk of cardiovascular diseases including high cholesterol, high blood pressure and atherosclerosis, or hardening and narrowing of the arteries.
