Ice Cream vs. Frozen Yogurt: A Sweet Food Review!

So, last weekend I faced the ultimate dilemma one can encounter on the boardwalk. Should I have ice cream or frozen yogurt? Which one did I pick? Drum roll, please... FROZEN YOGURT! Really, it's a no brainer! It's a lighter option. No, I am not saying frozen yogurt has no sugars whatsoever. But, I am saying it has less fat, and typically less sugar than ice cream. And, they taste virtually the same! The only difference seems to be the nutritional gap between the two. Let's compare...

2 Cups of Generic Ice Cream
Calories: 579 cal.
Total Fat: 32 g

Sugars: 61 g

2 Cups of Kohr's Frozen Yogurt

Calories: 128 cal.

Total Fat: 0 g

Sugars: 28 g

My frozen yogurt was bought at Kohr's Frozen Custard, Inc. (located on Point Pleasant's boardwalk in NJ). It only has 8 calories per ounce and wait for it- NO FAT! So, you can say that I savored my sweet strawberry frozen yogurt twistee without an ounce of guilt. Plus, it was pretty! Choose from a variety of flavors including peanut butter, pistachio, and blueberry! Skip the waffle cone for an even lighter option.

Remember, I am not saying not to eat ice cream. Life without the "real stuff" every once in awhile is downright miserable. Ice cream is an occasional treat, but for those times you want to keep it light, frozen yogurt is your ticket to fierceness!

5 fierce stars for this fierce frozen yogurt dessert!
