I've been craving ice cream very badly and I was wondering if anyone had any healthy alternatives to stop the craving?

    There are a lot of frozen yogurt products out there! Or try a sherbet! When I crave something chocolate and sweet I try to grab something sweet but healthier.. Like watermelon or grapes (: but I've also gone out and got the small Hershey's candies and alloys myself 2-4 a week.. Not a ton of candy but it cribs the craving (: hope this helps!

    Blend up a frozen banana. Try Greek yogurt with maple syrup and fruit.

    Also, eat a small amount of ice cream if a substitute won't cut it. Restricting a food completely will likely end badly.

    Eat some ice cream. Weight it and log it.

    I enjoy the Healthy Choice fudge bars (90 calories). They stop my ice cream cravings.

    You could do what I do....and go out to the ice cream shop and get a cone! It is a bit more expensive but I don't eat ice cream all that often and I tend to have poor portion control when I have a carton in my freezer. Plus, there is almost always someone (friends or family) that are happy to go out for a cone! Just a thought! I eat all of the foods I crave in moderation and it really never feels like a diet. I also find I enjoy food much more now, go figure!

    I would just go for the ice cream and plan everything else around it if you really want it. Maybe try some kind of frozen fruit/yogurt smoothie concoction or frozen yogurt. Also look up Halo Top Creamery if it's available near you.

    Agreed with PP - banana icecream! Freeze chopped overripe bananas and then blend them. Add then in add whatever you'd like - peanut butter, dark choc chips, mango, strawberries, shredded coconut etc. The texture is very similar to soft serve if you blend it enough.
