About Yogurt ice cream

Originating from Mediterranean cuisine, it has gained popularity worldwide as a lighter alternative to traditional ice cream. Made from yogurt, milk, and sweeteners, it contains probiotics, essential nutrients like calcium, and protein. Yogurt ice cream is usually lower in fat compared to regular ice cream due to its yogurt base, making it a popular choice for health-conscious consumers. However, its sugar content varies depending on preparation methods and added sweeteners. While it delivers some benefits from yogurt's good bacteria, the overall nutritional profile depends on the specific ingredient composition.
