Frozen yogurt sounds lighter than ice cream, but most fro-yo has just as much sugar, and the toppings add more. Plain Greek yogurt with berries is the steadier version.

What's working

• ✓Fresh strawberries add a touch of natural fiber and antioxidants.
• ✓A small amount of dairy provides a modest boost of protein.

Watch out for

• !High in added sugars from the flavored frozen yogurt and chocolate coating.
• !Very low in protein and fiber to slow down carbohydrate digestion.

Easy swaps

• Flavored frozen yogurt→Plain unsweetened Greek yogurt

  Greatly increases protein and cuts down added sugars to stabilize blood sugar.

• Whipped cream and chocolate coating→Handful of chopped almonds or walnuts

  Adds healthy fats and extra fiber to blunt glucose spikes.
