Other places that sell frozen yogurt:
Back in the day there was a TCBY in the marketplace.
Frozen yogurt is usually made from a powder which usually comes in aluminized plastic bags. Just dump it into the machine. It adds water, mixes it, and freezes it while agitating it (to keep the ice crystals small). Nothing you can't do with a blender at home. Powder mixes are usually used by retail establishments since they don't require refrigeration and are easier to store and ship.
Unfortunately, frozen yogurt does not have an FDA standard definition (as there is for plain ![[WWW]](http://wikispot.org/wiki/eggheadbeta/img/sycamore-www.png){kind=small}
yogurt). One can even buy candy-coated peanuts or yogurt-coated pretzels in health food stores since yogurt is considered healthful. For true yogurt -and associated health benefits- look for live & active cultures on the label. Yogurt sold in the refrigerated dairy sections of supermarkets meets this criteria. Whether any of the frozen yogurt listed here fits that is questionable. Frozen yogurt sounds so much more healthful than soft serve. Typical frozen yogurt ingredients are sugar, whey powder (from milk), xanthan gum (thickener), flavoring, and coloring.
If you're looking for more traditional frozen dairy treats, you might consider ice cream or gelato.
$.39/oz. is approx. $52.07/gallon -compare with Davis Food Co-op water at $.39/gallon!
Note: There are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon, but a gallon of water weighs 133.52 ounces. Go figure.
