Ok everyone, as the OP I just want to make clear that I never said Ice Cream is bad. All I intended to do was to give an alternative if you don't want to/can't/shouldn't (whatever) eat the real stuff. I have these and real ice cream in my freezer (among other things, some of which are probably filled with additives). I deal.
I believe you claimed that ice cream is not "exactly healthy" to which some took exception to. There is nothing wrong with ice cream, and nothing exactly unhealthy about it.0 -
I had to google cool whip, I thought it was like Angel Delight here in the UK but it's more like cream, is that right?
I have packets of Angel Delight, which must be like the US pudding mix xx
Cool Whip is pseudo whipped cream. It's pretty close to whipped cream in texture - but much more stable, a bit more dense. The taste is not at all like real whipped cream. To me it's closer to whipped cream flavored vodka. Definitely different from the real thing, but kind of a distant cousin, IYKWIM?
Most people I know who've been introduced to it later in life have not been impressed - I think it's something you have to grow up eating.
It's not pseudo whipped cream, it's fluffed oil.0 -

It depends on what you mean by "exactly unhealthy", though something not being "exactly unhealthy", would not by default make it "exactly healthy". There are nutrition experts that would likely agree that ice cream is"not exactly healthy".0 -
Simonereneein! Why you bring this post back to life!?!?
SMH
Might as well go for the roll now to rid it from our recent topics list.
Everybody, back in for a few posts!

I did regular graham waffers with chopped up strawberries in light cool whip and froze them......AWESOME!! I find not having icecream and all the other great stuff we love like chips and chocolate aftera while I'm getting used to not having it and really truely enjoy these light versions.

I wouldn't worry about it. Many people on these forums seem to have their happiness tied to ice cream. And posts that mention it in anything other than a loving and reverent manner usually go bad quickly.
honestly i think the biggest issue was that the OP gave us a 150 cal alternative to 110 cal ice cream sandwiches. no time or cost savings either. if you love ice cream, why would you spend time creating a higher calorie equivalent?
i couldn't care less if people eat ice cream, cool whip, pop tarts, or avoid them like the plague. personal choice and all that. but the premise of this thread is seriously flawed, IMO.0 -

Yeah, no bias in this post.
You did, however, omit the part about people having an irrational fear of certain foods and a strong compulsion to make "good foods/bad foods" lists every time they attempt to get back on the wagon/this time it's for real/this approach has worked for me several times in the past/etc.0 -

If aksed, probably a no to Cool Whip, but generally healthy eating recommendations are not brand specific. Graham crackers vary so much in content, you'd probably have to be more specific.0 -

I can't imagine the "nutrition experts" would worry too much about a couple of crackers, really? If they really are experts, they'd probably tell you some crackers and a little bit of Cool Whip is fine, if you are eating a fairly balanced diet. And a little bit of ice cream is fine too.0 -

When did she say she was replacing 110 calorie ice cream sandwiches? Even Skinny Cow and Weight Watchers ice cream sandwiches are usually more than 110 calories.0 -

she made the claim that cool whip and graham crackers are healthier than ice cream, which was what some took an exception to. Additionally, I do not really see the need to replace a servicing of ice cream which is about 210 calories with her 130 calorie option ...is the 80 saved calories really worth it? I guess...
and then of course there was the "zucchini ice cream" *gags* substitute suggestion...0 -

Yes, I am aware. But if she is overweight and one caused her to gain weight or remain overweight, and one helped her lose weight, then she is not necessarily incorrect.
While I have no way of knowing the calories in her ice cream, since they can vary greatly, what is "worth it" is always personal. It seemed obvious to me that the OP did not always think ice cream worth it by the fact that she was excited about her alternative.0
