Is frozen yogurt a Healthy treat or Junk food in disguise?

Tthe frozen yogurt fashion can be traced to America. Frozen yogurt was introduced to the U.S. in the Seventies under the name Frogurt.


This is a nutritionally balanced superfood. It is naturally fat free and full of probiotics, which are good for the immune system and digestion.

Nutritionists say that while frozen yogurt can be healthy, the toppings we are encouraged to pile on negate its benefits. The struggle for women is to really enjoy food. If they are having a frozen yogurt because they really enjoy it, then great. If they are eating it simply because it is low-calorie, they will still be left wanting the thing they have deprived themselves of: which is an ice cream.


The Food Doctor says: ‘Even if frozen yogurts are fat-free, if they are high in sugar, your body may take the sugar and store it as fat. They don’t offer much nutritional value, and should not be mistaken for a healthy snack.’ The probiotic element is in too low a concentration to have much impact. This is ice-cream without being naughty and dangerous. It gives you a sugary, creamy hit without the calories.
