Frozen Yogurt, A Healthy Alternative

With a lower fat content,  a plethora of nutrients, and the addition of probiotics, yogurt offers the human body health benefits not found in regular milk and cream. Sub Zero understands that while treating yourself to a smooth, rich premium ice cream is a special treat, having a healthier alternative can allow you to fuel your love for frozen dairy without compromising your waist. In fact, a study done by Obesity Research found that regularly consuming yogurt can help reduce tummy fat!

We have all heard about the benefits of eating calcium: it helps build strong, sturdy bones. However, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published research showing that calcium also helps the body burn excess fat. Sub Zero uses fat-free yogurt, so you get the health advantage its calcium provides without adding any more fat for your body to burn.

National Smile Week

Time to bust out those pearly whites for National Smile Week! Nothing makes us smile more than redefining the way our customers experience ice cream. netdoctor has an article called Benefits of Smiling that explains some of the ways wearing a grin makes you a healthier person. Here’s a few we liked:

  • Laughter and smiling reduces stress and releases endorphins. Stress has been linked to many health problems, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity.
  • Laughter burns calories and boosts the immune system.
  • Smiling puts you in a better mood.

So, trade in those grumpy faces for a smile and reap the benefits!

Thanks Jenna for giving us an idea we hadn’t considered before. Who knew chocolate and peaches went together so well? And, did you know Elvis Presley’s favorite ice cream flavor was peach? For us, that made this Flavor of the Month even better!
