Think of your favorite market: the place where you chilled with your friends, bought all your stationery supplies from and where your first date also took place. But the question I want to ask is whether this nostalgia-filled market is home to a frozen yogurt store? I bet, yes. <\/span><\/p>\n

According to a report from 2016, the frozen yogurt industry was predicted to $1bn by 2021 in India. One takeaway from this is that we all love eating frozen yogurt.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Frozen yogurt  popularly referred to as ‘Froyo’ is quite the rage for a variety of reasons.<\/h2>\n

It’s naturally non-fat or low-fat. Some people believe it to be a healthy alternative to ice-cream. Some love the fact that unlimited toppings and delicious flavors can be customised to suit almost every single person’s taste.<\/p>\n

Oh, and probably the most important one: if done well, it’s a frozen treat most people love to show-off. Proof? The ever trending #FroYo on Instagram has 1.2 million posts!<\/p>\n

But is frozen yogurt actually good for you like it claims to be? Let’s find out. <\/h2>\n

Let’s cover the basics first. Frozen yogurt is mainly made from a combination of yogurt, milk, sugar and cream. To make frozen yogurt, manufacturers mix together milk and sugar. They pasteurize the mixture, heating it to a high temperature to kill any harmful bacteria. The yogurt is then added and the mixture is allowed to sit for up to four hours before it’s frozen and served. <\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t Miss <\/p>\n

The process for making frozen flavored yogurt requires an extra step and that is adding artificial sweeteners, because your strawberry froyo won’t taste like strawberry if not for the sweetener.<\/p>\n

The adding of artificial sweeteners is why most diet experts are cutting out frozen yogurt from their patient’s diets.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

While most frozen yogurt is non-fat, the calories do add up.<\/h2>\n

The ‘plain’ or ‘original’ flavour of frozen yogurt has 35 calories per 20 grams. This means a medium size cup that can serve 350 grams actually has 350+ calories without toppings alone. If you go ahead and add toppings like chocolate chips, cookie dough or cotton candy you are looking at consuming a bowl of froyo with over 500 calories.<\/p>\n

So if you were actually cutting back on calories from ice-cream by indulging in frozen yogurt, you really need to reconsider things.<\/p>\n

Further, frozen yogurt is believed to be low in calories because the manufacturers are removing fat, which is not the case with ice-cream.<\/p>\n

But who said fat is bad? Fat is an essential nutrient that you can’t stay without but the focus should be on choosing the healthiest fats available; think avocados. So just because something is fat-free doesn’t mean it’s healthy and froyo fits the bill.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Our recommendation?<\/h2>\n

First, if you are one of those people who replace a meal by binge-eating ‘fat-free’ frozen yogurt, you need to stop. If you are someone who absolutely loves frozen yogurt then you should opt for a smaller serving and replace sugary toppings with fruit.<\/p>\n

If you are someone who loves ice-cream but gave it up in favour of frozen yogurt, then you can get back to eating a small amount of the real stuff. Ice-cream in moderate amounts did nobody bad, ever.<\/p>\n

Moderate consumption of frozen yogurt is ideal and recommended. Over-indulgence of anything including ‘fat-free’ frozen yogurt could certainly come back to haunt you so choose wisely.<\/p>\n
