Carbs in Frozen Yogurt Versus Ice Cream

​Whether you follow a keto diet or low carb diet or you're just looking to reduce your sugar intake, this frozen yogurt will be a great addition to help you stay on track this summer. 

Traditional ice cream is full of sugar and high in carbs and if you need a dairy free option using coconut milk, it often still has added sugar.

Most ice cream shops and yogurt shops have vegan options but again rarely will you find any choices for keto friendly or low carb ice cream.

If you do find sugar free ice cream, often the ingredients to sweeten are full of artificial sweeteners like sorbitol, Maltitol and/or aspartame which are known to spike blood sugar. When blood sugar is spiked, no weight loss happens and inevitably cravings occur. 

The best choice for a healthy ice cream alternative is to have an easy recipe made in your freezer when the desire strikes. Fat is your friend on a ketogenic diet because it helps satiate and you may actually eat less because of that feeling of satisfaction.

I've got plenty of ice cream recipes here on my blog but not as many froyo recipes, but what's the difference you ask?

Ice cream has at least 10% milkfat coming from using heavy whipping cream.

Frozen yogurt uses cultured milk as the main ingredient and no cream. Since the cultures don't survive when frozen, there are no probiotic benefits like from traditional regular yogurt. 

1cup of vanilla ice cream using the Cronometer app  has 273 calories, 4.6 grams of protein, 31.1 grams of carbs and 14.5 grams of fat. 

1 cup of vanilla frozen yogurt has 261 calories, 4.3 grams of protein, 44 grams of carbs and 8.9 grams of fat. 

Our keto frozen yogurt recipe has  170 calories, 11 grams of protein, 8 grams total carbs and 9 grams of fat. (7 g net carbs)

FAQs

Can I use Fresh Fruit instead of Frozen?

​You could use fresh fruit but frozen is best since it's packed at peak ripeness and you can find frozen fruit at anytime of the year. 

Can I make these into yogurt bites or popsicles?

You could make this into popsicles or yogurt bites. You could use ice cube trays to layer the vanilla yogurt and berries or a suitable silicone mold with the same size. Silicone candy molds would work too. 

Can I use a different low Carb sweetener? 

If you’re not familiar with allulose, it’s the BEST for low carb froyo and ice creams. Erythritol can set like a brick but allulose will leave your froyo smooth, with a creamy texture as opposed to icy and also has less of an aftertaste.

Feel free to use my Sweetener Guide & Conversion chart to determine how much of another sweetener to use.

Can I make this a high protein ice cream?

For extra protein you can add a few scoops of collagen and for the ultimate in creaminess, I love a little MCT oil too.

Simple Ingredients Needed

Instructions

If needed place your ice cream machine bowl in the freezer overnight.

Mix the yogurt, allulose, vanilla, heavy cream, salt and optional MTC oil and optional collagen powder in a bowl with a hand whisk until smooth. Pour the froyo mix into your ice cream maker and churn as per the manufacturer’s instructions. Mine took about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, add the frozen berries (with optional sweetener) to a pan and cook for 3 - 5 minutes on a low heat until soft.

Smash the berries with a spatula to break them up. Add a dribble water if sticking at the start. Take off the heat and add the ground chia. Allow to fully cool to thicken up.

Add half of the yogurt mixture to a freezable pan (8.5 x 7 x2inches). Add several dollops of berry mix and swirl with a toothpick. Repeat using the remaining yogurt and berry mix.

Place in the freezer until set.

You can let this fully freeze and just remove from the freezer and allow to come to room temperature before scooping into bowls.

Storage: Airtight container in Freezer for 2 weeks.
