Can I freeze yogurt...?

Can I freeze yogurt with active cultures without killing the benefits of it? I know Bryers makes some frozen yogurt that has active cultures, but I'd like to be able choose my flavors and enjoy it as a frozen treat. I'm just not sure if the process of freezing will destroy the benefit of the active cultures... Anyone know?

    Answer to your question and more....

    Does freezing yogurt destroy or alter the effectiveness of the live cultures?

    You can freeze a cup of yogurt. A cup of yogurt that has been frozen and thawed will have a different look and texture than fresh yogurt. The cultures become dormant when frozen, but once thawed either in the refrigerator or by your body heat when ingested; they will become live and active once again. There will be a few cultures that do die, but there are so many billions in our products, that it is truly insignificant.
