Great alternative for Ice cream lovers!

Cause if you eat it, youll get fat. I usually substitute ice cream with this:
I eat ice cream EVERY NIGHT. (Feel free to check diary.) It will not make you fat - unless the consumption of that ice cream causes a sustained caloric surplus. That said, I certainly see a place for low calorie ice cream substitutes for those struggling to stay within their intake goals and desiring a sweet treat. An alternative would be to work out a bit longer and earn enough calories for the real stuff.
Blue Bell's "Chocolate Covered Cherries" is quite special. Their "I
Chocolate" gets released this month. So much goodness... 0 -
You have obviously never eaten pistacchio gelato made with pistacchios from Sicily. They are grown on Etna and called Bronte pistacchios. Very expensive--but pure heaven. Alot of icecreams aren't made with real pistacchios, but flavoring, and it isn't the same. Sorry look at the quote below.0

I made Zucchini Mint Ice Cream last night.
It tasted great! So I thought I would share the recipe
Here is the base recipe
1 cup frozen raw zucchini chucks
1/2 cup frozen raw banana chunks
A drizzle of raw organic honey to your desired sweetness
1/8 tsp mint flavoring or to taste
Peel bananas and zucchini. Cut into small chucks and freeze in an air tight container. I used a plastic freezer bag
Place frozen zucchini and banana chunks into a food processor or high speed blender
I added the mint and honey before blending.
Blend until it turns a nicely blended ice creamy texture. Don't over blend
Fold in chocolate chips, nuts, fruit or what ever you want to add to mixture.
You can eat it now or put back in the freezer in freezer safe container.
Enjoy!

zucchini ice cream...come on man!
Why not? They have pistachio flavored ice-cream. I'm pretty sure the zucchini is simply filler anyway. You wouldn't taste it since the banana and mint would be overwhelming and zucchini has little flavor by itself, it would add nutrition and increased portion size with minimal calories, etc.
Personally, I like to save my empty calories for alcohol. And since I don't have a ton to spare, shy away from high calorie foods that contribute little to my overall macros. I get ice-cream has good qualities, the calorie to serving size is generally too high for me.
when we start using zucchini as an ice cream substitute, something is wrong in the universe.....what is next, dare I even mention this, cauliflower ice cream....*dry heaves*
Exactly! And FTR...Pistachio ice cream is kinda gross. :noway:0 -
sounds yummy but we don't have graham crackers here in the UK
i'm not sure what a similar item would be here.

I have never been a fan of Cool Whip and really am not even that crazy about real, fresh whipped cream. However, Cool Whip has a Cool Whip Frosting that may or may not be new but I just discovered it. They have Vanilla and Cream Cheese flavors that I have seen. This, plus some berries, plus some angel food cake = delicious. I think it is 60 cal for 2 Tbsp so I'm not sure how that compares to the regular Cool Whip since I don't eat it!
Please note - I am not suggesting this as an alternative to ice cream because nothing beats real ice cream (especially Oberweis Peanut Butter and Chocolate ice cream!). Just mentioning it because a few people commented that Cool Whip alone doesn't have much flavor.0 -

LIEUTENANT DAAN! FLAVORED STEVIA OVER ICE CHIPS!
I lolled so hard I probably burned about a serving's worth of ice cream. Guess I'll have to revisit that Scotchy Scotch Scotch B&J's pint tonight.
I have bourbon marshmallows that would probably go nicely with that. :drinker:
I had to look up bourbon marshmallows after you said that.

This is one of the first things that came up--a bourbon marshmallow bacon s'more.
... You'll have to excuse me for a moment.
Whoah! That looks so much better than this. Got them from a co-worker for Christmas, but I haven't opened them yet. The honey flavored ones found a nice home in my tummy the day I got 'em.

this but you can use unsweet almond milk too- Very yumFrozen banana, frozen strawberries and 1/2 cup milk blended with a few ice cubes. Very good.

Well, considering Guar gum (from the ingredient list above) comes from beans, I'm surprised you don't balk at that. There are so many fillers/ingredients in food that by themselves are hardly palatable. Ever eaten wheat by itself? Like a big 'ol spoonful? Just by itself, out of the bag? What about the beetles they use to provide red coloring? Ever eat the beetles? Does that bother you? Just curious...
Anyway, your body, your food, none of my business. Personally, I like more calorie bang for my buck (with the exception of wine, beer, and vodka), but since I don't care what you eat, I don't expect you to care what I eat. Other people might find alternative recipes helpful or even, gasp!, appealing.
I don't understand what you are trying to say here ...
anyone, care to offer a translation...
Basically, I don't know why you, or anyone else, feels the need to post, "ew that's gross" when it comes to alternative recipes. Why do you think I, or anyone else, cares? Personally, I wouldn't eat the OP's alternative to ice cream, but I don't care if anyone else does. Nor am I going to tell them what to eat.
I was just bored this morning. All the "food nazis" (think gramar nazi) on this site crack me up. "There's no such thing as almond milk" or "Banana pancake? You mean banana omelet. hahahahaha" Good grief.
Anyway, carry on. Eat your ice cream. Don't. Blend up steak in your coffee. Whatever works for you.
here are my reasons:
1. It is gross
2. there is no need to do this, just eat regular ice cream
3. Labeling foods "bad" and then avoiding or looking for substitutes is not a habit that leads to long term sustainable health gains. Just eat some ice cream, fit it into your daily macros/calories, and move on. Restriction diets never work, IMHO0 -
Feisty feisty people. Meow!
It's okay, OP. More real ice cream for me ♡0 -
LIEUTENANT DAAN! FLAVORED STEVIA OVER ICE CHIPS!
I lolled so hard I probably burned about a serving's worth of ice cream. Guess I'll have to revisit that Scotchy Scotch Scotch B&J's pint tonight.
I have bourbon marshmallows that would probably go nicely with that. :drinker:
I had to look up bourbon marshmallows after you said that.

This is one of the first things that came up--a bourbon marshmallow bacon s'more.
... You'll have to excuse me for a moment.
Whoah! That looks so much better than this. Got them from a co-worker for Christmas, but I haven't opened them yet. The honey flavored ones found a nice home in my tummy the day I got 'em.
Yum! Those look so tasty! Ok, ok, one more marshmallow porn picture....

Those look like the Wondermade marshmallows. Damn, that looks good. They're so soft and mmmmmmm. I really want to open the box right meow!0 -
I could sit and eat a whole container of Cool Whip...I love that stuff! The zucchini ice cream, though, sounds absolutely horrific.
More importantly, I actually LOL'ed when I saw this...and then again every time I scrolled past it:

A regular ice cream sandwich is under 200 calories. And healthier. Just saying.I LOVE ICE CREAM! I must shout it to everyone! Fortunately, ice cream isn't exactly "healthy". I did come up with a good alternative that is...you'll never believe it...UNDER 200 cals! Just take chocolate graham crackers (low fat or reduced cal if you can find them) break them in half and make a "sandwich" with Lite Cool Whip in the middle. Freeze for two hours. Tastes just like an ice cream sandwich with WAY less calories (about 130 for two sandwiches using full calorie graham crackers). YUM!0 -

Why not just ice cream that with less than 200 calories a serving? Your other examples did not sound any healthier or better. For example a 1/2 cup of Breyers Vanilla All Natural Ice Cream is 140 calories. Yum!
The other night I had just a half serving of ice cream and melted 2 squares of Lindt - 85% Dark Chocolate Bar (185 calories) with a little milk, butter, and orange zest to make a simple homemade ganache . All of this was under 200 calories.0 -
You have obviously never eaten pistacchio gelato made with pistacchios from Sicily. They are grown on Etna and called Bronte pistacchios. Very expensive--but pure heaven. Alot of icecreams aren't made with real pistacchios, but flavoring, and it isn't the same. Sorry look at the quote below.
I'm picky about nuts. I like cashews, almonds, hazelnuts, Brazil nuts, and peanuts (yeah, legume, wtf-ever), but I dislike pistachios, pecans, and walnuts.0 -
Everyone has their likes and dislikes--it's when they tend to influence others with a strong statement---you know what I mean don't you? Didn't you say pistachio ice cream was"gross"? You should say it's a personal preference, since some people love it.0

Do you have any kind of thin cookies? That would work. Even a sandwich made with sugar free cookies would be good.0

Coconut milk, a little greek yogurt, frozen banana, cocoa powder and peanut butter = yummo!0

Obviously when I say a food is "gross," then I'm stating my OPINION. I shouldn't have to state that.

When I saw this was at the top of my topics again, I let out a big sigh wondering why it is still going. Out of morbid curiosity I clicked on it, and the gif made me laugh.0 -

In...for more crazy veggie "ice cream" ideas. Though, to be honest, my gag reflex is kicking up just thinking about some of the possibilities (beet ice cream; eggplant?!; artichoke).
And for the person who tried the "but there's pistachio ice cream" arguement. Um, that's REAL ice cream, made with cream and sugar and eggs and nuts. The zucchini/banana/mint thing had none of those ingredients.
I read Beet ice cream as beer ice cream.
I came in to approve.

Do you know the ingredient difference between cool whip and ping pong balls? Water. LOL! Not really true but if it is non dairy- what is it? 0

Why do we need an alternative for ice cream?
Cause if you eat it, youll get fat. I usually substitute ice cream with this:
PM me if you want the recipe.
probably already been said but I just had to:
eating at a surplus makes you fat not a particular food :huh:0 -
Skinny Cow's ice cream is only 150 calories per bar and OMGosh so good! Chocolate > Vanilla def. 0

I agree, if the OP finds that the recipe gives an ice-cream fix & is easier to fit into her eating plan - go for it! I for one love experimenting with things, as although some turn out to be unmitigated disasters, sometimes a new flavour sensation is born
For ice cream, over here in the UK we have little pots of Aero ice cream that are my emergency ice-cream fix. Have thought of getting an ice cream maker to experiment with making my own, but know it would sit on the side unused as I would never have time to do it :laugh:0 -
I made Zucchini Mint Ice Cream last night.
It tasted great! So I thought I would share the recipe
Here is the base recipe
1 cup frozen raw zucchini chucks
1/2 cup frozen raw banana chunks
A drizzle of raw organic honey to your desired sweetness
1/8 tsp mint flavoring or to taste
Peel bananas and zucchini. Cut into small chucks and freeze in an air tight container. I used a plastic freezer bag
Place frozen zucchini and banana chunks into a food processor or high speed blender
I added the mint and honey before blending.
Blend until it turns a nicely blended ice creamy texture. Don't over blend
Fold in chocolate chips, nuts, fruit or what ever you want to add to mixture.
You can eat it now or put back in the freezer in freezer safe container.
Enjoy!
for the love of god, NO
zucchini ice cream...come on man!
Why not? They have pistachio flavored ice-cream. I'm pretty sure the zucchini is simply filler anyway. You wouldn't taste it since the banana and mint would be overwhelming and zucchini has little flavor by itself, it would add nutrition and increased portion size with minimal calories, etc.
Personally, I like to save my empty calories for alcohol. And since I don't have a ton to spare, shy away from high calorie foods that contribute little to my overall macros. I get ice-cream has good qualities, the calorie to serving size is generally too high for me.
when we start using zucchini as an ice cream substitute, something is wrong in the universe.....what is next, dare I even mention this, cauliflower ice cream....*dry heaves*
Well, considering Guar gum (from the ingredient list above) comes from beans, I'm surprised you don't balk at that. There are so many fillers/ingredients in food that by themselves are hardly palatable. Ever eaten wheat by itself? Like a big 'ol spoonful? Just by itself, out of the bag? What about the beetles they use to provide red coloring? Ever eat the beetles? Does that bother you? Just curious...
Anyway, your body, your food, none of my business. Personally, I like more calorie bang for my buck (with the exception of wine, beer, and vodka), but since I don't care what you eat, I don't expect you to care what I eat. Other people might find alternative recipes helpful or even, gasp!, appealing.
I don't understand what you are trying to say here ...
anyone, care to offer a translation...
Basically, I don't know why you, or anyone else, feels the need to post, "ew that's gross" when it comes to alternative recipes. Why do you think I, or anyone else, cares? Personally, I wouldn't eat the OP's alternative to ice cream, but I don't care if anyone else does. Nor am I going to tell them what to eat.
I was just bored this morning. All the "food nazis" (think gramar nazi) on this site crack me up. "There's no such thing as almond milk" or "Banana pancake? You mean banana omelet. hahahahaha" Good grief.
Anyway, carry on. Eat your ice cream. Don't. Blend up steak in your coffee. Whatever works for you.
here are my reasons:
1. It is gross
2. there is no need to do this, just eat regular ice cream
3. Labeling foods "bad" and then avoiding or looking for substitutes is not a habit that leads to long term sustainable health gains. Just eat some ice cream, fit it into your daily macros/calories, and move on. Restriction diets never work, IMHO
^ This, but mostly #1.
If you really like it I guess okay, but really? Seriously? I mean, come on! Live a little.0
