According to the Journal of Food Science, Turkish researchers found that probiotics, similar to those found in yogurt, improve the usually lackluster texture of low fat ice cream.

The researchers fount that certain probiotics combined with a prebiotic substance called inulin, survived in the frozen ice cream and improved the overall texture.

This is very cool because it potentially means that low-fat ice cream could be delicious and even a little good for you. Ice cream is such a popular treat, but many people want to cut the calories and fat from regular ice cream and most low-fat ice cream lacks the richness of full fat ice cream.
