Treats Can Be Good for You! 5 Health Benefits of Frozen Yogurt
If there’s one food people can agree on loving, it’s frozen yogurt.
Frozen yogurt (more affectionately known as froyo) is more than just delicious. It’s an easily customizable dessert that comes in a variety of flavors. Some people love it for its taste, but there are more that love it for its health benefits.
There’s no denying that if you’re looking for a healthy dessert that froyo beats out ice cream. But have you ever thought about why?
Once you read this post you’ll know about the variety of health benefits it has to offer.
Tired of drinking milk to get calcium? Treat yourself with some frozen yogurt!
Froyo has an average of 178 milligrams of calcium per half-cup serving, it’s clearly an excellent source of calcium.
Calcium is well known for its positive effects on bones and teeth, but it does much more than keep them strong.
Calcium intake can help reduce the growth of excess cells in the colon, which in turn could help prevent cancer.
Diets high in calcium can also aid in weight loss and help prevent obesity.
If you’re counting calories it can seem like every day is a struggle to eat within your limits.
If you have a sweet tooth you’re limited to only so many options. Luckily dessert fans can rejoice, frozen yogurt is here to save the day.
Frozen yogurt itself is a very low-calorie food, even when it’s flavored. If you’re careful with your toppings and serving size, you can have a nice low-calorie dessert if you choose to eat frozen yogurt.
Do you feel like you’re sensitive to dairy? Do you miss enjoying frozen desserts?
Frozen yogurt could be the dessert option that you’re looking for.
Frozen yogurt is full of probiotics. Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for the human body, and froyo is full of the two helpful organisms Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilous.
Those two probiotics can help break down lactose and be easier on the stomachs of people with dairy sensitivities. The helpful bacteria can also help balance the amount of microflora in the gut.
If you look for frozen yogurt that has the live and active culture’s seal, you’ll have a dessert that’s great for digestive health.
Cookies, cake, and other desserts may be tasty but they don’t have much nutritional content. Traditional desserts are full of sugars and carbs, but frozen yogurt is full of protein.
Protein filled snacks can help you feel more satisfied. Frozen yogurt can be the perfect snack for people that need to feel full.
There’s a lot of protein in a half cup of frozen yogurt, more than enough to justify this sweet treat every once in awhile.
Satisfying snacks that are also low in fat can be hard to come by.
On top of all the health benefits, froyo has to offer, its low-fat content may be the best.
Ice cream can be very fattening, but frozen yogurt has almost half the fat of ice cream. If you want to make sure that you’re keeping your fat content low, you can stick to non-fat flavors.
