Frozen yogurt comes in three standard flavors; original, pomegranate and Madagascar vanilla.

Fresh fruit toppings range between 10-30 calories (one scoop), while others range between 30-110 calories (one scoop).

Fruit parfaits are made to order, mixing fresh fruit, organic flax seed granola and all natural, non-fat yogurt. Popular choices are the mixed berry and tropical flavors. Various fruit mixtures are available for smoothies as well. If you are looking for something a bit less sweet, try one of the power smoothies that offer a ton of energy and protein.
