    Non fat froyo! I get the no sugar added kind and top it with fresh berries. So yummy.

    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. :)

    ok so this isn't going to give the same consistency as ice cream but i have found frozen honeydew melon chunks help me through my ice cream cravings.

    Just eat your favorite ice cream. Budget your calories.

    I totally agree...

    Two ingredients-

    Today I blended frozen bananas and 2 teaspoons of natural chocolate sauce in my food processor and OMG it tasted just like chocolate icecream! It was so cold, smooth, decadent and flavorful! My hubby even enjoyed it!

    Next time I will do one with frozen bananas and berries.

    S/N I picked up Ben and Jerry's new strawberry/banana Greek Froyo today. (havent tried it yet though).

    Ice cream is my big downfall. Anybody find a good substitute?

    Take regular yogart, and put in the freezer for a few hours.

    Not a substitue - but I buy really good icecream (Weis caramel - yum!) and just eat one portion.
    It's not a lot of icecream, but its very delicous and is absolutely worth the 140 calories.

    I would much rather have 140 cals of something really yummy than any amount of those nasty tasting Skinny Cow ice creams.

    I buy individual bars or sandwiches so I can eat one for less than 200 calories and make sure it fits in my calorie goal for the day.
    Weight watchers are great.

    Blue Bunny frozen yogurt, chocolate vanilla swirl 1/2 cup =110 calories or check out other flavors. The vanilla for example has lower calories it contains probiotic, good for the digestive system or you can try the blue bunny orange dream bar 70 calories per bar.:smile:

    The bananas is omg wonderful. Ice Cream is my weakness also...I've had it with PB2, strawberries, and trying coco next with PB2. I have some frozen cherries I'm going to try in it also.

    I have something that I like BETTER than ice cream now. Plain and simple, get some mixed frozen berries (I love doing cherries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries) and mix in some nonfat yogurt. I like it best with greek yogurt. Stir it all up together and enjoyyy! Way fewer calories, higher protein, good carbs, good sugars, and a bunch of antioxidants from the berries! It's my go-to evening snack/dessert :). If I have more cals leftover, I'll throw in some chopped walnuts or some granola, too, for the crunchy texture :D yummmyyyyy

    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 or just w/ vanilla extract & some vanilla almond milk

    Or, plain and simple, frozen chopped up banana. To me, it tastes like ice-cream...maybe I'm just weird though.
