I don't limit anything I eat except for portions and calories. ICE CREAM is a staple in my lifestyle diet. I eat it just about every night.

FAVORITE FLAVOR: Ben and Jerry's CHUNKY MONKEY 300 cal per serving (1/2 cup)

CURRENT GO TO: Signature Select Ice Cream cups (Chocolaty Sundae) 150 cal per cup

I'll alternate between the 2 but I STILL GET TO EAT ICE CREAM!!!!!

What's your guy's favorite?

    I'm with you on Chunky Monkey! Preferably in a chocolate-dipped waffle cone :)

    We usually buy Umpqua brand. I've found it's a good value and very creamy. Would love to do ben and jerry's but i hate paying so much for the little container.

    Does anyone do the all banana homemade ice cream? I've heard it's a good substitute, and I've been thinking about trying it so I can eat more ice cream for the same amount of calories :sweat_smile:

    I have. 5/10.

    It tasted like I should make it into a smoothie.

    @JustaNoob that's unfortunate but good to know. Thanks! Maybe I'll try it as a dessert alternative but not think of it as "ice cream".

    I don't do small portions of ice cream 😁 about once a week I share a pint of Ben & Jerry's with my BF. Chunky Monkey and chocolate fudge brownie are our favorites, Cone Together is a nice recent discovery.

    Hand dipped I like Kawartha Dairy Black Raspberry Thunder.

    I like a Costco vanilla soft serve caramel sundae too.

    But my all time favourite is vanilla soft serve dipped in maple white chocolate from Chocolat Favoris.

    Magnum salted caramel fan here. Almost every day after my workout.

    I've done the frozen banana ice cream. It's OK, it's good if you like bananas. The impressive part is mostly how it takes on a soft-serve/Frosty texture, I would not have guessed that's what frozen bananas do when you blend them up but I suppose it makes sense.

    I like all kinds of ice cream - I'm picking up a quart of cookies 'n' creme at the grocery this week. My go-to B&J's flavors, when I feel like shelling out for them, are Pistachio Pistachio and Coffee Coffee BuzzBuzzBuzz!

    Just toast your flour and you're free to eat as much raw cookie dough as your little heart desires. If you're buying eggs at a national chain grocery store they are probably pasteurized and safe to eat raw if you wanted to; it's the flour that harbors the potentially-nasty microorganisms.

    I have a great frozen dessert maker that turns frozen fruit into soft-serve. I love it and have pretty much given up buying regular ice cream altogether.

    Not going to lie I have baked and microwaves flour before to just have cookie dough. I mean how long have folks been eating raw dough/batter for and I’ve never heard of anyone getting sick. (No one answer if they have gotten sick from raw dough/batter 😬😛).

    I think I know what is for supper tonight...

    Kroger has this wild blueberry waffle cone ice cream I freaking LOVE.

    I think it's... 280 calories per serving?

    Archer farms low can protein ice cream in Mocha cold brew 😍😍😍 I am a volume eater so air stick to lower calorie options bc I know I’m going to eat the whole pint 🤣

    I hear ya. That's why I can't have Ben and Jerry's all the time. If I'm getting my ice cream fix from 150 calories a night, that's a win.

    I've done it, but it's still not ice cream to me. Kinda like when people offer me cauliflower pizza. I like cauliflower. Just not as a crust of a pizza.


    I hear ya! The nice thing about the fruit stuff is that it quells my mouth-feel/sweet/cold desire and is tummy-filling enough to not go back for seconds and thirds... and fourths! I'm afraid I don't have the discipline to bring ice cream into the house. I'll order it as dessert in a restaurant, but whatever ice cream I buy and bring home WILL be gone in 24 hours.

    Oh definitely try it! I had a friend who just loved it, but I couldn't get into it. I have another friend who loves to eat a spoon of peanut butter with chocolate chips melted over a banana. Bananas are just yum.

    I love this Market Pantry cold brew stuff too! Top pick for my freezer.

    When I go out, I either like a small one scoop sundae from Braum's or Baskin Robbins' "Peanut Butter N' Chocolate".

    Oooo, DQ used to have a chocolate truffle blizzard. I'd get it like once a year, but it was so good! Felt like I needed a nap afterwards, but worth it!

    I used to be a big ice cream person as a kid. My first job as a teenager was at Dairy Queen, actually! Not because I loved ice cream, but because my friends worked there and it was a fun job. Anyway, I still love their blizzards, but maybe get them 1-2 times a year.

    I kind of go in phases of wanting ice cream. My go-to flavor is probably cookies and cream with BIG chunks of Oreos, or Mint Moose Tracks.

    How much does that Market Pantry stuff cost? Cheaper than Halo top/enlightened?
