Do reduce the size of your cup – Frozen yogurts are often offered in large white paper cups, which means that your portion size would be much larger. Instead choose a smaller cup and limit yourself to one and half swirls.

Do layer your toppings strategically – Most frozen yogurt supplies offer a range of toppings. Start of with topping like whole strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. Since they are bigger, they will help your cup look fuller. You could then add toppings like cereal. Lastly choose a few candy toppings or omit this completely.

Don’t spend more than $4. – Your waistline and your budget are important. If you stay under $4 your portion size will also be smaller.

Do treat yourself – Don’t deny yourself of the toppings you love. Instead include some of the good stuff like dark chocolate chunks or shavings.
