Going through a bad ben and Jerry's phase, and looking for some ideas for healthier, lowish calorie alternatives.
I know of the banana in a blender one, but looking for more.
Also, I need to get a blender, I guess, lol.

    Skinny Cow ice cream? Weight Watchers ice cream? They're both delicious!
    Sometimes I will have a root beer float with light ice cream and diet root beer. Light ice cream is still a little high in calorie (110 for 1/2 cup) but definitely better than B&J's lol

    I make a protein shake with whey, pudding mix (optional), psyllium husk powder, 1/2 c cottage cheese, water, ice. It sets up so thick I eat it with a spoon!

    There's an ice cream out there called Artic Zero that is only 150 calories per pint. I had the vanilla maple, it was super sweet but went great with fresh raspberries. See if you can find it!

    Frozen blocks of acai berry puree, blend with nonfat greek yogurt or a little almond or soymilk to make a thick, ice-cream like consistency, top with whatever fruit you like and maybe some fat free cool whip..

    And what others have said: skinny cow, frozen greek yogurt

    Greek frozen yogurt!
    I got a half-pint ice cream maker and it's SUPER easy to make and delicious! My recipe is 1 single serving cup of plain greek yogurt, plus the same amount of regular plain yogurt, sugar and or sweetener to taste, and then throw it in the ice cream maker. You can add fruit if you like too :D My mini ice cream maker makes it in 12 minutes!
