    For frozen yogurt I love Pinkberry, but I'm really hoping for low cost alternatives that don't involve ingredients like Splenda (which I can't stand).

    I think the coolwhip mixtures, and make-it-yourself pudding pops would work best. I like Edy's, Skinny Cow, Bryers and Pinkberry, but they're all way to expensive if you're on a budget! I think I heard my wallet crying when I looked at Arctic Zero >.>

    Keep all the ideas coming though, cause if they won't work for me, they might still work for someone else!

    Just ordered something called "Arctic Zero" - haven't received my shipment yet - but it got good reviews on Amazon.com and by HungryGirl.com. It's only about 130 calories for a whole pint - and the flavors sound interesting - so I will let you all know when I give it a try! Gotta say that if I can have ice cream and pasta on a diet like this one, I am a happy dieter!

    On Amazon.com it is $46 for 6 pints..........Are they crazy???? I may just save my ice cream day for cheat day (Sat) LOL!

    My old trainer suggested McDonalds icecream sundaes - their small, taste delicious and it takes care of the cravings- and the calories aren't bad either!!

    Isn't McDonalds icecream LF? It is sooo yummy.

    ETA according to the McD website their Vanilla Reduced Fat Ice Cream Cone is 150 calories (and they load it up!) and it lists the kids as 45 calories

    another idea i just saw recently, cut up some bananas, freeze them for about an hour, then put them in a blender or food processor. makes banana ice cream. add some peanut butter and/or honey/agave nectar for more flavor. yummmy!
