Ice Cream Substitute
Replies
-
I can't always eat much ice cream because sometimes dairy makes me ill. Ice cream is the worst offender. But, when I do, I prefer the real, full fat, genuine ice creams - homemade if I can. The fat and creaminess yum! makes me eat less because it's so rich.
A lot of commercial ice creams have weird consistencies and with news of the stabilizers and ice cream that doesn't melt, I had that aha! moment that explained the weird textures.
That being said, when I think I want ice cream but I'm not sure how my stomach is that day, I do love a frozen banana blended up alone or with some cocoa or pb. It's actually pretty good. I don't worry about the calories as long as it fits my day.0 -
Yasso frozen Greek yogurt bars are good, around 100 calories, 6 gr protein, carbs are prob 15+ but if you fit it in, they are good. Sea Salt Carmel one is my favorite.0

Eat real ice cream.0

We make our own green tea ice cream and don't scrimp on the cream!
Only one scoop at a time and only a few times per week cures our craving for the real thing ☺️0 -
Homemade Coconut milk Icecream is a great substitute! And really easy to make0

I found a new great control for eating ice cream: buy stuff that is outrageously expensive...
These were on sale for $10 each:
There is great incentive to make it last and stick to one serving at most. And going for high quality, full flavor ice creams does satisfy with the smaller quantities.0 -
A small glass of chocolate Silk soy milk does the trick for me everytime.0

Here's a recipe for homemade Ice Cream substitute. It's very creamy, filling & satisfies the cravings! Since finding this recipe I always have 1-2 flavors in the freezer for emergencies!
High Protein, No Sugar Added Ice Cream
1/2 cup No-fat Cottage Cheese ( don't knock it until you try it)
1/2 Frozen Banana
1/3 cup Frozen Berries or Fruit (strawberries, blueberries, even pineapple!)
2-3 TBS Almond Milk
1/4 sp Vanilla
5-7 Drops Liquid Stevia (or equilivant)
1:8 tsp Xanthum Gum (Optional-makes it very smooth & creamy)
1 TBS Vanilla Protein Powder (optional)
Mix it all together in Magic Bullet blender or other full-size blender. It will get very thick. Pour into container. Freeze for about 3 hours. Hint: Stiring 2-3 times during freezing makes it freeze faster and looses it up so its not one big ice cube. If leftovers ( I double the recipe) freeze in solid block just remove from freezer 20-30 minutes to soften.
A double batch is about 4-5 servings at 200 calories depending on the portion size.
Even my picky partner loves this and has proclaimed that it's addictive... There's that word again! Next batch I'm going to stir in some mini chocolate chips!0 -
At Walmart they have a machine called Yonanas it's like 45$. Buy fresh fruit freeze it and then you can make it into ice cream. It's amazing gotta try it !!!0

ETA :
Alright, I'll give a serious response too.
If you have a very hard time moderating ice cream, at first do not keep it in the house. Try substitutions and, if you enjoy them, hey that's great.
Once you have a good grip on your calorie intake and are used to eating less, introduce single serving packages of ice cream into your day every now and again.
Once you are used to eating portioned ice cream, buy multiple single serving packages.
Once you are used to eating portioned ice cream and have it in the fridge without going ham on it, eat ice cream any which way you want.
ETA after the ETA :
But I stand by my earlier statement that ice cream is for babies.0 -
I bought Weight Watchers dark chocolate raspberry ice cream bars and they are really good. A serving is one or two. 90 calories, 5g of fat, and 8g of sugar for one and 170 calories, 10g of fat, and 16g of sugar for two.
I haven't had two for one serving.0 -

I never understood this one to be honest.
1 banana = 100 calories
1 tbsp peanuts butter = 100 calories
200 calories for a 1/2 cup serving.
Ice cream = 150 calories for a 1/2 cup serving. 120 for light at slightly over 200 for rich.
How is that different? (aside from the fact that ice cream tastes better)
I think this is more about eating natural than lowering calories. Banana and peanut butter have natural ingredients, and no added sugar.

I was always told, the cheaper the ice cream, the less milkfat in it. Remember ice milk? Then you have to decide if you want to consume a cup of ingredients you can't identify, or a little less...yet a bit more healthy. If you need quantity, just bury it under some fresh fruit and a pinch of nuts. Rose0

Eat ice cream, but in moderation.

Stay away from refined sugar all together. Sugar in almost any form can be addicting. If you're one of the peope who's body is addicted to it (for whatever reason) then suggestions to modify your portions won't help. If you could modify or portion control you wouldn't be asking for help unfortunately, moderation doesn't apply in addiction.
You should make this your only post. Ever.-1 -
My trainer recommended Artic Zero, or Artic Freeze. You find it at some supermarkets, it is mostly protein and very little sugar alcohol. I recommend Strawberry, is the best one I've tried.

Oh, gross. It tastes like barely flavored ice chips. Just eat a single serving of ice cream, for gosh' sake.0 -
Everyone, greek yogurt with fruit is a great sub for ice cream. Maybe even crack open a DARK chocolate bar and disperse throughout about a cup of greek yogurt. It will make it sweeter, and it'll probably be about 350 calorie snack.0
