Substitute for Icecream?

Look up artic zero "ice Cream"
I freakin love the coffee flavor0 -
I don't use ice in my smoothies- I use frozen fruit. So much more flavor.
But honestly, there isn't a substitute for good ice cream in my opinion. I just go ahead and have some (not a lot) every once in a while when a smoothie won't do.0 -
i eat ice cream when i want ice cream, but I also LOVE julie's organic fudge bars at 100 cals each. I don't care about the organic part, but I do like that i recognize the ingredients.0

I find that just eating a smaller serving of ice cream is better. If I try substitutes then I end up stabby and still wanting ice cream. So I've got some really good gelato for gym days that's 210 calories per half cup, and then I keep some Edy's slow-churned for days when I have less calories to spare. It's 120 calories per half cup. I weigh it out, enjoy it, and feel much more satisfied.0

Don't deny yourself, that's how diets fail! Just make sure to stay within your calorie goal. That being said. I LOVE Skinny Cow. Around 100 calories per bar or cup. They have some great flavors. My husband was even eating my Skinny Cow instead of his regular ice cream.0

Edy's Half the Fat ice cream single servings are DELICIOUS and only 120 cals per serving. It's also just enough to satiate.0
-
frozen fruit like grapes or oranges works well for me. Frozen yogurt is alright. Popsicles are great also!!!0

Just have a little ice cream....you can still be healthy and fit and get your nutrition on, etc and have some ice cream.0

I just had ice cream and a pop tart and I'm losing weight.
Okay, 1/2 a cup of ice cream and 1/2 a pop tart, but it was satisfying and did the trick . . . though I think my pop tart cried when I cut it half. :sad:0 -
Rich and decadent: 2 frozen banana *****s + 1 frozen avocado chunks + 1 cup coconut milk + 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, blend/process = deliciousness.... if you want a bit more sweetness, add 2-4 dates. Enjoy!
wow that's got to be more calories than a serving of ice cream. is that a single serving?0 -
Lose the "diet" and keep the ice cream...just eat less of it.
Not everyone can eat just a little. And being on a diet means one has to eat differently.
Eating a little IS eating differently. Food shouldn't incite fear, she needs to learn how to break the cycle.
QFT At some point you have to change your relationship with food and learn that it is ok to have the ice cream or the cookies or whatever you would like but in smaller portions than we use to eat before.... This is a lifestyle and I refuse to never eat the things a like ever again...

I put frozen friut, stewberries for example, into my food processor and add natural fat free yoghurt or low fat cream ans blend together for a few seconds. froyo or ice cream made simple. The good thing about this is that you can buy your own fruit, clean, cut into chuncks, freeze and use each time you want to make icecream/froyo.
I even throw in a few fresh vegetables (carrot or broccoli etc). I guarantee you that you will not taste the vegetables! Best way to get kids eating their broccoli if they plain refuse to eat them!
I sugar from the friut provides enough sugar for my taste buds, however, you can add a little honey to sweeten even further if you want.0 -
Look up artic zero "ice Cream"
Artic Zero is terrible.0 -
SO agree with this. I was never able to be on a sustainable "diet" until I learned that I didn't have to deprive myself. Measure out or weigh one serving of real ice cream (not that fat free crap) log it and ENJOY.Lose the "diet" and keep the ice cream...just eat less of it.

Absolute, complete, total nonsense. It's caloric surplus that makes you fat, regardless of which macronutrient it comes from. Carbs are not the devil.According to MFP, the banana has 48 grams of carboydrates. A 1/2 cup of Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Cookie Dough Ice Cream has 33 grams of carbohydrates. let's remember it's the CARBOHYDRATES NOT THE FAT that makes you fat.
so stear clear of Banana based solutions to dieting. better to find a low carb ice cream brand like Breyer's low carb (7 grams of carbs) and avoid the banana altogether.0 -
Stop being on a "diet"!!!!!!!!0

Exactly!
If someone thinks they have to ban ice cream until they lose whatever amount of weight they want to, then what happens when they reach their goal? They eat the whole tub of ice cream because they felt so deprived and then gain all the weight back.0 -
like others said, frozen banana, my kids take regular cups of yogurt and pop a stick in them and freeze...
otherwise, what is wrong with a small serving of ice-cream?
for an ice cream sandwich

That has a whole lot more calories a serving than a simple 1/2 cup serving of ice cream. I'm sure it's tasty, but if she's watching calories and wants a small treat, that kind of defeats the purpose.0 -

Agreed.
Also - I like eating those Edy's Fruit Popsicles. Yum! 0 -

Frozen Yogurt is your best bet for getting a taste experience that is pretty much the same as ice cream that is a relatively healthy choice. I go to a place like TCBY that has soft serve and mix regular, low-fat vanilla with Greek Vanilla/Honey, which adds protein and probiotics. It comes to 20 calories per ounce, and I get about a half cup to a cup of it - so 80 - 160 calories total. I might add some almonds for a healthy topping. If you add a lot of fruits, it is healthy and full of vitamins, but you need to watch the calories and sugar. A few berries goes a long way. If you're craving sweet, a few sprinkles on the froyo doesn't add too many calories (just don't go overboard). If I add some almonds and sprinkles and have a cup, it comes to about 200 calories total. That's not bad to have every so often to help with a sweet tooth.0

Fit and light yogurt blended with whatever frozen fruit you enjoy. It's low cal and very cold.0

The original statement is 100% correct! Excess Carbs are stored in the body as FAT. Fat is also stored as Fat and protein hardly is stored as fat. If you eat the right amount of carbs then the carbs are used up. if you don't then they are stored as fat deposits.0 -
Your statement is just as correct as the original one (that is, totally incorrect). Carbohydrates are not stored as fat if you are in a caloric deficit. Neither is fat. Google "energy balance" and do some research, I'm sure you'll find it beneficial in your journey.The original statement is 100% correct! Excess Carbs are stored in the body as FAT. Fat is also stored as Fat and protein hardly is stored as fat. If you eat the right amount of carbs then the carbs are used up. if you don't then they are stored as fat deposits.0 -
