    Tofutti cuties are great! I love the wild berry flavor! I am super picky and couldn't tell it was tofu and not ice cream.

    If you like bananas, you are going to LOVE this one. Cut up a banana in 2" slices. Freeze in a zip-lock bag. Put in a cuisinart and blend until it balls up and is a creamy texture. You can add 1 Tbs cocoa powder if you like, or I get this stuff called PB2 (peanut butter powder) and put 1 tsp of that in too. It has the same texture as ice cream. You would not know it is NOT ice cream. Delicious. You can try a blender, but my blender does not get it the right consistency. Let me know what you think!

    this is my favorite. ^ i just did this one tonight. it's crazy how creamy a banana ends up when it's frozen! so delicious! i use my food processor to get it to the right consistency. sometimes i have to splash in a tiny bit of milk to break up the banana. give it a shot just once!

    nutrition and forever eating are important for me,

    I have switched to Knutsen Lowfat, Low sodium cottage cheese, but wait, not just plain,

    I weigh out 200 g of berries, raspberries or blueberries and sprinkle several pkts of splenda, chill a bit, then pile on the cottage cheese, a container of 2 cups is 320 calories,

    sometimes I eat the whole thing, for under 400 calories I really get my creamy sweetness fix,

    nutritionally it can serve as my dinner, lots of protein, fiber from the berries, lots of antioxidants,

    I am trying to talk myself into smaller portions, but for now in order to feed the volume eater in me I am trying to make better choices,

    last month I did get a small container of chocolate ice cream, which meant I did not eat half a gallon, but after eating it I concluded that my cottage cheese and berry alternative was really a good idea, for me

    I found a frozen greek yogourt bar at Costco. Traditions is the brand name and the box came with blueberry and strawberry flavoured bars. They are thick and yummy and I feel like I'm having an actual ice cream treat versus the small-sized ice cream options for low calories. The greek yogourt bars have lower calories than most low-cal ice cream options and are larger in size. They are 2 points using Weight Watchers PPV system.

    Blue Bunny Sweet Freedom Ice Cream, and various flavors of ice cream bars. My favorite in the vanilla/raspberry swirl. They dip about a third of the bar in chocolate, just enough to satisfy your chocolate craving. Very, very creamy.

    i love ice cream.

    I eat churn style ice creams and measure them out, skinny cow indivdual wrapped treats, frozen cool whip with frozen berries. I havent tried frozen yogurts- but im wondering if the "whips" would be good. I love frozen desserts...

    I had to completely give up on my ice cream. Seriously when I gave up dairy that was the only thing that made me sad. However I have found if I make an avocado pudding and freeze it, it makes an awesome ice cream.

    It has been put on here a few times. But I did a search and it came up with some different variations. So you can take a look and see one for yourself.

    Another thing I do is blend up a bunch of ice and fruit and a bit of honey.

    I haven't craved it in about 6 months now and I have been to dairy queen and down the ice cream isle. I just make sure if I am in that mode I have a few avocados.

    TCBY frozen yogurt, cookies and cream flavor. 130 calories for 1/2 cup, really good! They also have a few more flavors. Found it in the ice cream area at Wal-Mart. :)

    Just eat your favorite ice cream. Budget your calories.

    I totally agree...
