How to get rid of ice cream cravings?

take a banana slice it up freeze the slices. add it to a food processor with 2 teaspoons chunky peanut butter and 1/4 teaspoon cocoa powder. its 185 calories if you do 100 grams of banana. its amazing how much it really does taste like ice cream i hope this helps

That sounds yummy, thanks for posting it

I make pudding pops. I make a batch of pudding and pour it into popsicle holder and freeze them. My mom made them for us as kids. To change it up I make 2 different flavours and pour 1/2 one flavour on the bottom and 1/2 the other flavour on the top of the popsicle holder. It's a yummy, creamy treat that's healthier than icecream.

Coconut Bliss, Cherry Amaretto. It's non dairy ice cream. I have 1/2 a cup twice a week. NOM NOM NOM NOM

How to get rid of ice cream cravings?

Eat icecream, duh.

But really, I would throw away or give away all but 1 or 2 cartons, eat one serving a day or as needed, log it and smile.

eat a little.

Eat a smaller portion or allow for more calories in your daily allowance.

Portion control?

I eat 1/4 cup of ice cream topped with a spoon of greek yoghurt, some nuts, and maybe a banana.

Tastes delicious and the calories aren't that bad.

The first bite of any food is always the best.

Thats one of my weak points too... I always want ice cream after dinner... So try this.... I heard someone else say they do this... And its a wonderful idea...

Me... If I shop for the ice cream, I get the slow churned.. And the ones that have 130 cals per 1/2 Cup serving... So I do this:

Use your 1/2 Cup or 1 Cup measuring cup, and use that as your bowl that you eat out of.... Take your carton out, fill up the 1/2 Cup or the 1 Cup measuring cup, LEVEL it off with a knife...... No heapers... Haaah. Put that carton back into the freezer.. And forget about it... Then eat your 1/2 C or Cup right out of the measuring cup.... That way your truely having the exact proper portion...

OR to really answer your question.. Your trying to "Get Rid Of The Craving Completely" Try putting your yogurt container into the freezer for 1 1/2 hrs..... Open, Stir, enjoy.... Tastes like ice cream..... Yet not really ice cream... I used to do that alot, and still occassionally do. Its pretty good.

1 cup of unsweetened Almond Vanilla Milk (30 cals)
2 packets of Stevia or splenda
1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/16 tsp Salt (don't omit !)


Mix all the ingredients together and put in a ice tray. Freeze
When totally frozen, put in the mixer until you get AWESOME ICE CREAM !
So delicious and only 30 calories for a HUGE bowl !!!!!! you can add any topping you want such as fresh fruits or chocolate chips...!

Enjoy !

Bing Bang... Thanks Maam! I-Scream, U-Scream, We All-Scream, For Ice-Cream!

Say Diabetic outloud... say missing toes or fingers.... say ganggreen.... so loss of vision.. u will stop eating ice cream.... No one wants to be a diabetic... NO joke.... at all. taking meds or poking yourself checking blood sugar .... NOPE ... I hope I helped.... LOL... I dont have those cravings anymore.. how about sugar free and low carb items...

I switched to gelato a few months ago and now prefer it over ice cream. Target sells a brand called Talenti and I love the belgian milk chocolate flavor. Less calories than ice cream but I think the rest of the nutrition is about the same. I rarely buy it now cause I can eat the whole pint minus the tablespoon or two the cat eats. I swear she sometimes looks at me and wonders where this treat is as for a long while we were eating a pint two to three times a week. And she would hear the container open and come running. Kinda like opening a can of tuna. (sorry I got off subject)

Seriously- I have started buying the Friendlys cups or mini hagandaz (I can eat it but not spell it) so I have a little treat but not go crazy. You are better off having a little than none and then breaking down one day and eating a gallon. I do this about once a week unless I am really stressed. Then I might get a second as I continue to work on the relationship between stress and eating.

Also, I just tried this last week. Hood makes a really good snack sized ice cream sandwich that is I believe about 100 calories. Its about 3 or 4 bites but just enough to satisfy.

take a banana slice it up freeze the slices. add it to a food processor with 2 teaspoons chunky peanut butter and 1/4 teaspoon cocoa powder. its 185 calories if you do 100 grams of banana. its amazing how much it really does taste like ice cream i hope this helps

This is great! I am trying it tonight!! Thank you. :flowerforyou:

When I crave ice cream, I eat whipped cream instead. It's a lot less calories, and it generally fixes the craving.

I eat icecream almost everyday,I just fit it in my allowed calories,dont give up what you like just do it in moderation,I dont eat half a gallon at a time like I used to ,now I have 125 grams when I have some,this is not a diet for me ,its a change in the way I eat,I will never give up the foods that I love to eat.I have lost 82 pounds by doing it this way,you can too

^^^ This is GREAT advice!
