Healthy ice cream truck snacks

We may be all grown up, but indulging in a chilled novelty treat still makes us feel as giddy as it did when we were kids. So when we started seeing versions of our favorite ice cream bars made with yogurt, we were overjoyed. The tangy stuff makes for indulgent treats that are higher in protein and lower in fat and calories, plus it delivers a dose of probiotics. That’s a real plus since these good bacteria have been shown to slash hunger by 20 percent, improve digestion by 47 percent and double weight loss. With perks like that, we can even reach for seconds guilt-free! How sweet is that?

When cooling mint and fudgy chocolate come together, it’s a match made in heaven. What’s not so heavenly: the lack of probiotics in our old standby. Now we’re savoring Yasso Mint Frozen Greek Yogurt Sandwiches ($5 for four, grocery stores). Packed with good gut bugs, these bites taste more indulgent but have 65 percent less sugar. Score!

Decadent chocolate ice cream plus a crunchy ganache coating equals double the deliciousness. Our old brand doesn’t deliver any bloat-busting perks, though, so we switched to Stonyfield Organic After Dark Chocolate Frozen Yogurt Bars ($7 for six, grocery stores). These dreamy treats boast 5 active probiotic cultures and 90 fewer calories than our old pick.

Perfectly sweet strawberry bars are a summertime classic. But when we saw our go-to pop doesn’t contain probiotics, we knew we could do better. Enter Outshine Strawberry Simply Yogurt Bars ($4 for four, grocery stores). These creamy delights deliver the immunity-boosting probiotic B. lactis and 5 grams of filling protein—all for just 90 calories per bar.
