With yogurt you get a healthy dose of protein and calcium, plus live, active cultures, which are good for intestinal health. However, some yogurts are loaded with sugar, and other yogurts are artificially sweetened and can taste, well, cloyingly artificial.
If you find the texture of nonfat or low fat yogurt to be lacking, try nonfat Greek yogurt, which is naturally thick and creamy, since the liquids are strained away. If you find plain yogurt too tart, add a little honey, or opt for a vanilla flavor. Nonfat Greek yogurt makes a great substitute for cream and non-dairy toppings, even those light and fat-free whipped toppings in the freezer case, which are indeed light, but highly processed.
If you still crave a frozen treat, there's always frozen yogurt, which has the advantage of tasting like ice cream. Plus, you can eat it out of a cone!
