Scorching summer months call for delicious frozen treats. Though frozen yogurt is a healthier alternative to ice cream, the damage to well-being is served up in the toppings.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrozen yogurt should be thought of as a treat,\u201d says Rachel Berman, director of nutrition for CalorieCount.com, \u201cnot necessarily as an everyday thing \u2014 and not as a healthy lunch!\u201d<\/p>\n

Loading up your cup can lead to a surprisingly high amount of sugar, carbs and calories, she says, a combo that will leave you craving more. \u201cHaving a balance of fat, carbs and protein is what\u2019s going to keep you fuller, longer,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Tip: Stick to just one scoop of your favorite topping next time.\u00a0That way, you can\u2019t really do too<\/em> much damage, Berman says.<\/p>\n

Here are the healthiest mix-ins to add to your cup and the ones you should avoid (or at least be light-handed in):<\/p>\n

Fresh Fruit
\n<\/strong>It just makes sense that fruit is a healthy topper option. In fact, in\u00a0one-tablespoon servings, none will run you much more than 10 calories, says Berman.\u00a0Beware of fruit that\u2019s served in syrup, though, since it adds nothing but extra sugar and calories, she warns. \u201cDried fruit can actually pack a lot more calories in a smaller amount,\u201d she says. Coconut, for example, packs more calories than fresh fruit, thanks to its naturally-occurring saturated fat.<\/p>\n

Candy<\/strong>
\nInstead of loading your cup with Snickers and Reese\u2019s Pieces (easier said than done), go for some dark chocolate chips. Carob chips, which many stores offer now, are similar nutritionally but may pack a tiny bit more fiber and protein, explains Berman.<\/p>\n

Cookies<\/strong>
\n\u201cI personally will add a sprinkle of cookie crumble,\u201d says Berman. \u201cIt\u2019s probably going to cost you 30 to 50 calories. But keep in mind that it\u2019s only offering you sugar, so you might want to also try a tablespoon of sliced almonds for a little fat and protein.\u201d\u00a0Alternatively, splurge with a lower-fat cookie like Oreo, assuming you\u2019re already getting fat-free, plain yogurt.<\/p>\n

Cereal<\/strong>
\nCompared to its chocolatey neighbors, cereal may look like fruit\u2019s best friend. However, most froyo chains serve up the most sugary cereals (think Fruity Pebbles and Cinnamon Toast Crunch). A one-cup serving of some of these breakfast bites contains\u00a0more sugar than three chocolate-chip cookies! Fruit Loops and Cap\u2019n Crunch, both fro-yo topping staples, are more than 40 percent sugar by weight.<\/p>\n

Sauces<\/strong>
\nHot fudge, whipped topping, caramel sauce \u2014 they\u2019re sugar \u201cin its simplest form,\u201d says Berman, and better off avoided.\u00a0Even honey, which does contain small amounts of vitamins and minerals, \u201cis just providing you sugar\u201d in this case, she says.<\/p>\n

Nuts
\n<\/strong>Nuts can deliver a punch of healthy fats, but in limited doses. Look for almonds, cashews or pistachios, which are the\u00a0lowest in calories, Health.com<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

Sprinkles and Gummy Bears
\n<\/strong>While gummies and marshmallows are straight sugar, add in sprinkles and you have a whole confection of unnatural dyes.<\/p>\n
