Healthy Ice Cream Treats

 

This month Jason and I went to the freezer case and sampled some of the new “light” ice creams. (It’s a tough job, we know, but somebody’s gotta do it). Here, are our three favorites.

1. Dreyer’s/Edy’s Loaded Frozen Dairy Dessert, Cookies N’ Cream
If you like your ice cream packed with goodies, you’ll love the new “Loaded” line. Yum! The big mystery: How do they manage to keep the calorie and fat count so low? Nutrition facts per ½ cup: 110 calories
2 g protein
18 g carbohydrate
3.5 g fat (1.5 g saturated)
1 g fiber

2. Klondike Slim-A-Bear 100 Calorie Ice Cream Bars
Only slightly smaller than your average light ice cream sandwich, these treats are super-satisfying and pack two grams of fiber. For 100 calories, you can’t beat it! Nutrition facts per sandwich: 100 calories
1 g protein
11 g carbohydrate
7 g fat (5 saturated)
2 g fiber

3. Weight Watchers Strawberry, Key Lime and Passion Fruit Sherbet and Ice Cream Bars
If you’re a fan of creamsicles, you’ll love these. They’ve got strawberry, passion fruit or key lime sherbet on the outside and creamy vanilla ice cream on the inside. Mmm! Nutrition facts per bar: 60 calories
1 g fiber
13 g carbohydrate
0.5 g fat (0 g saturated)
1 g fiber
