Frozen Frenzy

Where to get your fix on healthy frozen yogurt

Frozen yogurt, ice cream’s low-calorie, low-fat and probiotic-rich cousin, is making a comeback, with specialty shops popping up all around Bergen County. The new twist on this twisted treat is self-service. Where you once merely requested vanilla or chocolate and sprinkles or syrup, today’s local yogurt shops have put the decisions—and plenty of them— in your hands. Some stores have yogurt in up to 30 flavors like red velvet, cake batter, cappuccino and blueberry and a variety of toppings such as fresh fruit, chocolate shavings or cereal for a really personalized snack. And most stores price by weight, so you pay for what you pick. Since frozen yogurt averages about 100 calories per serving— depending on the flavor—and most places also offer sugar- and dairyfree choices, this is a figure-friendly and fashionable delight.
