Answer
yogurt is kinda more healthy than ice cream.
Frozen yogurt (also frozen yoghurt or frogurt) is a frozen dessert made from or containing yogurt or dairy analogues. Frozen yogurt is served as a low-fat or fat-free alternative to ice cream. It may or may not contain active cultures. Frozen yogurt[1] is a dessert similar to ice cream, but lower in fat. It is typically made with yogurt and frozen yogurt can be sour or sweet. Frozen yogurt is a frozen dessert that combines the flavors and textures of ice cream and sherbet.

Typically frozen yogurt will contain low- or no-fat yogurt, sweetener, gelatin, corn syrup, coloring and flavoring. Frozen yogurt is typically made in an ice cream machine and is typically available with ice cream flavors, and can also be blended with fruit in a frozen yogurt blending machine[2]. Frozen yogurt both freezes and melts much slower than ice cream since yogurt has a much higher enthalpy of fusion than milk. Sugar-free versions of frozen yogurt are readily available. Frozen yogurt flavored with fructose is marketed for people sensitive to sugar, such as diabetics. Frozen yogurt is often eaten by lactose-sensitve people in place of ice cream, as the live cultures can help digest the lactose. More recently, live culture probiotic frozen yogurt has seen increased popularity, as many consumers view yogurt of this variety as being healthier, as offered by Yogen Fruz. [3]

Although frozen yogurt has been made since at least the 1970s, it did not become especially popular until the 1980s.[citation needed]

One of the first frozen yogurts in the U.S. was made by Dannon, which had a prepackaged frozen yogurt on a stick called Danny's, raspberry flavor covered by dark chocolate. The original Danny's yogurt was tart in flavor compared to current frozen yogurts.[4][5] More recently, frozen yogurt made by Red Mango and Pinkberry has been tarter.[6]
