Frozen
Yogurt is Back and Better than Ever
(ARA) - There’s nothing better on a summer day than a cool treat. But
summer also means shorts and swimsuits, and thinking twice about the
foods you eat. Fortunately, a surprising player is making a comeback on
the dessert scene, and it’s an indulgence that you can feel good about.
Frozen yogurt first appeared on the scene in the ‘80s and ‘90s. For
most ice cream lovers, frozen yogurt was a necessary, if unfortunate,
compromise. Today, frozen yogurt products taste better than ever thanks
to improved recipes and production technology. Additionally, recent
news regarding the health benefits of yogurt has created a buzz around
this cool dessert.
Most of yogurt’s outstanding benefits come from the unique way it is
made. Yogurt contains “live and active cultures,” (technical names:
Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus
and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. lactis) which are basically good
bacteria that are necessary for the body to function at its best. These
bacteria prevent the growth of harmful bacterial infections and
diseases. They also promote digestive heath and boost the immune system.
Additionally, live and active cultures actually reduce yogurt’s level
of lactose, making yogurt a great alternative for anyone who is lactose
intolerant. Yogurt is also packed with calcium, which is important for
bone density and to help maintain healthy nervous and cardiovascular
systems.
Today’s frozen yogurt is a good and good-tasting alternative to
higher-fat ice creams. Each serving packs the goodness of yogurt along
with the creamy, cool indulgence of ice cream. So next time you want to
indulge, try frozen yogurt for a delicious treat with a great taste and
health benefits, too.
To make it worth every bite, go for a superpremium brand like
Häagen-Dazs frozen yogurt, which uses all natural ingredients to
create a creamy and delicious taste. Choose from an array of flavors,
including Vanilla, Vanilla Yogurt and Raspberry Sorbet Swirl, Coffee,
Dulce de Leche and Wildberry.
Try this quick recipe that combines the natural goodness of yogurt with
the antioxidant power of pomegranate or cranberry juice to make a truly
healthy indulgence with a taste of summer.
