healthy options for ice cream?


Quote  |  Reply

My boyfriend is taking me out for icecream later :(  I have eaten healthy all day and the past few days i have binged like crazy soo i was really proud of myself for not eating any junk today and really not looking forward to going.. 

Anyways i know ice cream is definitely NOT healthy but what would be the healthiest option?  like would frozen yogurt or sherbert or something be a little healthier at least?  or is there a flavor that has less calories than others?..  i really didnt want to eat anything with MILK in it but i guess any kind of icecream or icecream alternative would have milk in it...  and i'm pretty sure where were going they dont have soy icecream or whatever that is.....  any suggestions or help would be appreciated... thanks.

Try ordering a small sorbet if they have it.  They're more like a sherbet I believe, and are usually made with real fruit instead of having a lot of extra sugar and flavorings thrown in.  Also, if you're going to a chain, check their web site for nutritional information.  Enjoy your treat!

I can understand your pain. My boyfriend loves dessert, but I avoid sugar like the plague (my family has history of diabetes - I'm all for preventive measures). I'm not sure how many choices you have but you can go for the lower-calorie options:

1/2 cup Breyers Light No Sugar Added 80 to 120 calories

1/2 cup sorbet 130 calories

Frozen Fruit Bars 110 calories

Or better yet, order a cup and share the calories. Enjoy!

Where are you going? A lot of places have healthier options now. I was just at baskin robbins and noticed that they have several kinds of sherbets (fat free, usually around 100 calories) and a line of slow-churned ice creams, some with no sugar added. Also, frozen yogurt (also available in non-fat/no sugar added) is a decent choice, or a pre-packaged fruit bar. Remember, one treat won't mess you up, and enjoy it!
