Frozen yogurt might remind you of your favorite probiotic-rich morning Chobani — but not all "yogurts" are created equal. The freezing process used to make your dessert may kill some of the healthy gut bacteria found in regular yogurt a . To compensate, some manufacturers of fro-yo (and standard yogurt, too) add extra probiotics after production.
And that subtracts the health point.
But probiotics alone don't make frozen yogurt a health food. "People don't realize that it often has more sugar than ice cream," says Dana Kofsky, a California-based nutritionist. Per each half-cup serving, frozen yogurt contains roughly 17 grams of sugar. Meanwhile, ice cream only has about 14 grams of the sweet stuff for the same serving size. "In order to get rid of the tart taste, [fro-yo companies often] add sugar," says Kofky.
When having a frozen desert, just watch your portions.
