Healthy-ish

It's easy to get carried away when given an empty cup and access to all of the flavors and toppings available at your favorite fro-yo shop but don't fret. 
There's a way to avoid going overboard. My favorite location, 16 handles (located in Boca Raton), made their shop Web-friendly by detailing the nutritional facts of their flavors. 


             Scanning over the different options allows you to check out the nutritional facts of your favorite flavors. 


The average calorie count in 3 ounces of vanilla flavored frozen yogurt is 80 calories with about 110 calories in 3 ounces of vanilla flavored ice cream. So, there's not a huge difference but for some reason, I always feel better after choosing fro-yo over ice cream. 

Fro-yo Fact: The calorie count may not seem much different than ice cream but you can see a difference in saturated fats more than anything. Frozen yogurt, because it's made with yogurt instead of cream (hence the name), has no saturated fats. The same cannot be said about ice cream.
