I Scream, You Scream...


So I've been hearing all of these advertisements for Greek Frozen Yogurt. I know that non-frozen Greek yogurt has like twice the protein of normal yogurt, so I was curious to see if the frozen stuff was equally as "more good" for you. To keep it fair, I looked at frozen dairy products (yeah, I have no idea how to refer to this list) from one brand:

  • Regular Ice-cream (Strawberry Cheesecake): Calories- 250, Fat- 15g, Carbohydrates- 26g, Protein- 3g
  • Greek Frozen Yogurt (Strawberry Shortcake): Calories- 180, Fat- 5g, Carbohydrates- 28g, Protein- 6g
  • Frozen Yogurt (Cherry Garcia): Calories- 200, Fat- 3g, Carbohydrates- 37g, Protein- 8g
Ok, so the frozen yogurt probably has a lot more sugar (looking at the calorie content and number of carbohydrates), but it does out-rank the Greek frozen yogurt in terms of protein. However, the Greek yogurt does have twice the protein of regular ice-cream... might have to check it out!
