    Yes! It summer, get a box of snack bags, freeze the fruit thats getting or comes too ripe. Ice cream is an impulse grab sometimes to cool off your mouth, sometimes for the sweet pleasure. Most fruits are yummy frozen,except maybe apples. Melon, bananas (cut to bite size), stawberries, cherries, blueberries. I find things like stawberries better frozen whe cut in half first.

    make your own ice cream - is healthier and less money.

    i made a banana, honey and peanut butter ice cream with chocolate chips and it was delish.

    chop the banana into slices, use more than one banana as one banana really isn't enough! freeze it. blend then banana in a blend into it tuns into an ice cream substance, add 1tbs honey and 1tbs peanut butter (more if you need to) and add in a couple of chocolate chips and refreeze the ice cream and enjoy :)

    I like making smoothies. I'll use greek yogurt plain as the base, add in fruit, skim milk, and ice and I'm good to go!

    Alternatively I'll walk up to the ice cream shop and buy a single cherry yogurt cone and I feel good because I walked there and back to get it so I feel as if I worked for it. ^_^

    I like the mini drumstick cones. Because they are mini it's portion controlled to be 110-150 calories.
    Skinny Cow ice creams.
    No Sugar Added ice cream sandwiches
    Sweet Freedom ice cream bars
    No Sugar Fudgesicles

    These are my faves.

    YES!
    Chop up a banana and stick it in the freezer for a couple of hours.
    Throw in a blender and TAH-DAH! Banana ice cream.
    It has the same consistency and texture too.

    +1 - This works and tastes great! Weigh and throw in some chocolate chips for a bit of variety :wink:

    I've been on an orange sherbet kick lately. I don't know if you like sherbet, but it's cold and really hits the spot when I want something sweet. Only 110 calories for a half cup, and no fat.

    I have a Ninja with the single serve cup, and I agree with the frozen banana trick! I like to blend in some berries or cherries (minus seeds or pits) and it makes a delicious, smooth and creamy and VERY HEALTHY shake...yumm!!

    I just take blackberries or raspberries 1/2-3/4 of a cup; mix with water (enough to cover them). Blend on single serve until juicy and frothy. Pour through a metal strainer if you prefer seedless (I do!). Then pour this back into the rinsed cup. Add a frozen banana cut into thirds~I usually add another third for 1 1/3 which gives this a decidedly natural sweet flavor. Blend until smooth! Add water if it is too thick. Then ENJOY and for a pittance you have a delishie low-cal treat!! MMMMMMMM!!!

    I didn't read all 6 pages of comments ;) but the frozen banana is awesome blended with a little milk or soy milk and about 1-2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.

    Greek yogurt seems to do it for me! It's creamy and thick. I think that's what does it for me. I have a hard time with the thin type yogurt. Try it and see if it works for you. This is coming from someone that loves peanut butter and chocolate ice cream, or butter pecan, or moose tracks or any thing with the word ice and cream together!!! Good luck...i know you can do it!!!!!

    Yes! You can add cocoa or other things to manipulate the flavor. BUT DO BE SURE TO PUT IT IN THE BLENDER OR FOOD PROCESSOR. If you don't, it will not have the same ice cream consistency. The food processor makes it light and airy!
