Can you believe it?? Greek FROZEN YOGURT! It`s like a match made in heaven!
Ice cream + nutrition= a happy marriage for both a health-concious mind and keen taste buds
I found this yesterday at a Tom Thumb grocery store. The brand is Open Nature there are 4 flavors available: Vanilla, Honey, Pineapple, Blueberry. I tried the pineapple and thought it was quite delightful: the texture is heavy and creamy, unlike typical low-fat fro-yo...there`s just more substance to it! The taste was good, but mild. Not too sweet, but definitely not bland. It actually has a cream-like taste, rather than the sourness that is characteristic of yogurt. Here is how it matches up to both regular low-fat fro yo and also double-churned (lower in fat) ice cream, 1/2 cup serving size:
| Low-Fat Fro Yo | Double Churned Ice Cream | Greek Fro Yo | |
| Calories | 100 | 110 | 150 |
| Total Fat | 2g | 3.5g | 0g |
| Sat Fat | 1g | 2g | 0g |
| Cholesterol | 20mg | 10mg | 5mg |
| Sodium | 45mg | 90mg | 65mg |
| Carb | 19g | 18 g | 21g |
| Protein | 3g | 3 g | 6g |
| Calcium | 10% | 8% | 15% |
...Keep in mind that these are just examples and don`t hold true to every single brand, flavor, etc. The values vary depending on many factors!
I support Greek Fro-Yo 100%...you get the same satisfaction as you would when eating regular ice cream but you are also receiving a substantial amount of protein and calcium!
Ben & Jerry`s has its own version which Tom Thumb also carries, but I decided to skip this brand given that I think it to be an adversary to nutrition. I know not how strong your own will power is, but when my eyes spot a pint of B & J`s it`s like gluttony instantly takes over. So, to avoid Seven Deadly Sin #2, I have requested that my skinny-petite-always a size 2-sister try it and let me know how it is!
Reply back and lemme know if you try this product and like it! I highly recommend =)
