Gelato vs. Frozen Yogurt

Alright so here we go about something that has caught my attention recently…well more like yesterday, but anywho I am going to break it down a little for those of you who might be wondering about it too! Well which tastes better and which is healthier: Gelato or FroYo?

Let’s put it this way, Gelato tastes just like what the flavor is and FroYo not soo much. Basically there is a lot less air in gelato so the denseness of the the gelato allows for more flavor to go in, whereas the FroYo has some air. I still vote for FroYo as long as I live where I live and just maybe will change my perception as I hopefully will end up in Italy one day! I also wanna say that FroYo is better because of all the benefits you get from the yogurt that stands as its base.

Milk? Fat Butter Fat Sugars Calories/ Proteins(g) Extras
Gelato (1 cup) ~5-7% 4-8% (made from whole milk and a lil cream when in Italy) 10-18% (made from more cream when in America Dairy: 16-24% Fruit: 24-30% ~247/~1 Egg yolks depending on flavor, nut pastes, natural fruit juices, and air
FroYo (1 cup regular as in not low fat, nonfat, etc.) ~2-6% ~1-5% 15-17% on average ~221/~8 Gelatin, coloring, air, lactose, probiotic cultures
