    Try switching to frozen yogurt.

    I like chocolate flav frozen yogurt. And like wylers raspberry pops. Most of the pops are only a few calories if you buy the right ones.

    Hello. I also love ice cream. I often take whole frozen strawberries (the kind with no sugar) and defrost them slightly in the microwave. Add a little artificial sweetener and a dash of fat free or 1% milk over the top and you have a great substitute.

    I get these Klondike bars they're called Thin-A-Bear I think and they're so good only 100 calories per bar.

    If I wanted ice cream right now I would go for a bit of cherry garcia frozen yoghurt.... or (I just read this on someones status) I would grab a bag of frozen summer berries and some milk with a little bit of honey and blitz it in a blender.

    Weight Watchers has snack sized ice cream bars with just 80 calories! And Skinny Cow has 100 cal bars. Both are really good too :) Good luck!

    While I was grocery shopping yesterday I found these Lil' Drummers that I picked up for my daughter. Each cone has 120 calories. The flavors in the box I got were chocolate chip cookie dough & chocolate brownie. They didn't have any other flavors at our grocery store but it's fairly small and doesn't have an over abundance of options. There is also Skinny Cow and Healthy Choice ice cream.

    If you have a magic bullet or some other kind of food processor you can make your own. I use non fat greek yogurt and frozen fruit. Sometimes you need to add a bit of liquid (juice or skim milk) to get the consistancy right but just wiz it up and it has the texture of soft serve. Has a lot less sugar than real ice cream and no fat. Plus you're getting real fruit.

    I love Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches (it is hard to eat just one). Also someone posted a recipe sometime ago that I sometimes make. Search under "fake ice cream". I like this recipe as a sub for ice cream sometimes. I have tried with banana/strawberries and mango/strawberries. Good Luck

    Try the skinny cow products. The chocolate truffle fudge pops are only 100 calories and very good!

    I'm an ice cream junkie too, and I mean a bowl of ice cream, not a bar or a sandwich.

    A little trick I learned a while back in South Beach Phase 1 is slightly thawing a fudge bar (like Weight Watchers) and adding a teaspoon of peanut butter to it, then blending it with a hand mixer. It ends up like soft serve ice cream and the peanut butter helps provide the "mouth feel' that I love about ice cream.

    Lately I've been really going crazy...laugh...two Weight Watchers Giant Latte bars (90 cals each) and a couple of teaspoons of almond butter. Blend with the mixer and voila! Soft serve coffee ice cream (at least a cup's worth) for a tad over 200 calories! And not just a teensy cup full either!!!!

    I could probably find ready made ice cream for around the same, but the end result would be me eating the whole container in one sitting. At least with these bars, I have to do some preparation, which seems to keep me from eating more than one portion.

    Something in the Skinny Cow products does not agree with my stomach so I avoid them!

    I buy the churned style light ice creams. Not sure where you live but in my area I get the Giant (also Eagle in some places) branch churned style mint chocolate chip. 120 calories for 1/2 cup is enough to satisfy my need to ice cream!
