There is often an assumption that frozen yogurt is healthier than ice cream - because how couldn’t it be?
But is this just a health halo, or is it based on fact?
I examine the nutritional content of frozen yogurt and ice cream.
I break down the nutrients in frozen yogurt and ice cream, highlighting their similarities and differences. While frozen yogurt may have an edge in certain aspects, it's important to remember that both treats should be enjoyed in moderation.
Ultimately, the choice between frozen yogurt and ice cream comes down to personal preference and dietary goals. We remind listeners that these frozen treats are indulgences and shouldn't replace healthier food choices in a balanced diet.
Tune in to this episode of Real World Nutrition to satisfy your curiosity about frozen desserts and make informed decisions when satisfying your sweet tooth.

As much as I don’t recommend a structured and restrictive diet, I promote one “diet” - the DASH Diet.
DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) is a flexible and balanced eating plan that helps create a heart-healthy eating style for life.
While it was initially studied for helping blood pressure health (reducing hypertension), it is appropriate for anyone who wants a healthy eating pattern.
The DASH eating plan requires no special foods and provides daily and weekly nutritional goals.
Learn more about this eating plan and how it can help you.

Why Avoid Soy? Soy is an excellent plant-based protein, including soy milk, soybeans, edamame, tofu, and even soy protein supplements.
So why does soy cause controversy?
Whether it is suggesting that we choose cow’s milk or soy milk over the other milk alternatives or indicating that it is okay to eat a soy-based veggie burger or eat tofu, some people cannot get it out fast enough that I am wrong about soy food.
