    I usually just eat the ice cream to be honest.

    But someone on here told me to freeze chobanis. pretty good and do sort of taste like ice cream, espescially the apple cinnamon one. Not sure if someone already said this and I'm far too lazy to read through all the post

    I saw this recipe on Facebook this morning and thought it looked delicious. I haven't tried it yet. It supposedly tastes like a Wendy's Frosty.

    Skinny Frosty:
    3/4 cup Almond Milk
    ~15 ice cubes
    1/2 tsp Vanilla
    1-2 Tablespoons of Cocoa Powder
    1/3 Banana
    Mix ingredients & blend

    Most of the time though I just eat ice cream and fit it in my calories.

    This sounds so good...you know how many cals?

    It doesn't taste like a frosty, believe me. Cals depend on what ingredients you use. Also, to get the consistency of a frosty you need to add 1/4 tsp each of guar gum and xantham gum. But honestly, it doesn't taste even remotely like a frosty.

    This ^^^^ there is most definitely no banana in a Frosty.

    Yep, same here, IIFYM, but I'm not actually a big fan of ice cream all the time. Just occasionally, 1/2 cup with some bananas and walnuts or something. This recipe sounds pretty good to me! I might use frozen bananas/other fruit instead of ice, but I think it would be a nice treat.
  • Have you tried Artic Zone ice cream? It's 150 calories per pint and it has a lot of protein. Try putting some quest bar into it like the chocolate chip cookie dough (which you can bake into cookies) and you have a healthy treat!

    Except that's like freezing water with food coloring and sprinkling it with cardboard

    A serving of Breyer's is 110 calories, it's really not hard to fit in. Or there are 100 calories chocolate/vanilla bars etc. Heck I made myself an ice cream cone today and it was 131 calories, and I really stuffed it with ice cream...

    If you don't mind eating Splenda a lot of the no sugar added ice creams are really good now.

    I love Artic Freeze, I add some chocolate flavored whip cream from Lucerne and it helps add creaminess to it!

    If you mix banana, peanut butter (or even PB2) and then freeze it, it's like ice cream too. I've been experimenting with adding protein powder to it, and other fruits...

    I may have to try this one! I can't do dairy, and the almond/coconut ice creams are SO expensive. This sounds like a tasty (and cheaper) alternative.

    I like real ice cream. Pistachio almond, rocky road, or cherry garcia. Sometimes I buy strawberry banana chobani champion tubes and freeze them too.

    I found a No Sugar Added Rocky Road Prairie Farms Light Ice Cream and it was awesome!! Satisfied my ice cream and chocolate craving all at once. Only 110 calories for 1/2 cup and it was ICE CREAM. It only had 4g of Sugar also.

    I make sure that Ice Cream fits into my daily goals. :drinker:

    I think I love U!

    I love slow churned ice cream. It's lower in calorie, but I actually prefer the texture. It's much softer, like gelato.

    That being said, there's absolutely nothing wrong with eating yogurt tubes that have been frozen if you enjoy it.

    dreyers slow churned has 1/2 the fat of most other ice creams and about 120 calories per 1/2 cup serving, and tastes really rich. I love the peanut butter cup one. My husband's fave is the the butter pecan.

    ^^This^^ why find all these crazy alternatives to what you are really craving? I usually buy the Bryers slow churned vanilla bean because I just like my ice cream plain and will add on topping. My absolute fav tho, is Chapman's Black Jack Cherry Frozen yogurt... in my house of ice cream lovers, no one knew it wasn't actually ice cream!

    The frozen skinny frosty looks amazing :) I am a huge ice cream fan and discovered "Stone Ridge Creamery" chocolate frozen yogurt is excellent.

    Is this where everyone is talking about how awesome Breyer's regular ice cream is*?

    No?

    Oh, sorry. Wrong room.

    Carry on.




    * Especially if it's the *original* recipe before they started tweaking it for "half fat", "extra smooth", etc.

    If you add a little peanut butter to the frozen bananas it it is off the hook...

    Thanks for the ideas
  • People keep suggesting Skinny Cow, but for anyone else out there who has to watch sugar, Chapman's "No Sugar Added" ice cream is great. I believe it's 130cal per 1/2 cup, and it has 5g of sugar.
