Ice cream is by far my most favorite dessert. With summer
and warm weather rolling around, there is nothing more satisfying than a big
scoop of this creamy, delicious food. Unless you have a true allergy, I don’t
believe in eliminating or putting certain foods off limit in the same sense
that I don’t believe in crash diets that force you to give up all your favorite
foods. When you deprive yourself of certain foods, this only results in bouts
of binge eating when your willpower is low. (Think of going for food after the
bar, do you really need eat that entire large Oreo Mcflurry, or that large poutine
at Smokes?). Instead, proper portion sizes and making ice cream a once and
awhile treat, is a great way to still get the things you love without
ballooning in your bikini this summer. Here’s my tips on for smart choices:
1.
Watch out for premium flavours, a half-cup of
Haagen–Daaz Chocolate Peanut Butter ice cream has 360 calories and 24 grams of
fat! And you can’t tell me you only eat half a cup at a time…
2.
Instead hop on the fro-yo craze and get a cup of
non-fat chocolate frozen yogurt and add a FEW
pieces of Reese’s peanut butter cups on top to satisfy your sweet tooth
with way less calories
3.
Don’t drink your ice cream calories, milkshakes
can have just as many, if not more calories than a single serving of ice cream,
if you going to indulge at least make it something worthwhile
4.
Think like a kid. Order the kiddie cone of my
ultimate pick the mini blizzard or snack size Mcflurry. This way you still get
all the deliciousness you want, but in a better controlled portion size
5.
If that tub of ice cream in your freezer appears
to empty faster than your gas tank, try buying individual portion sizes of ice
cream or ice cream bars limit yourself. I LOVE Presidents choice Blue Menu
Greek Yogurt Smoothie Bars. They are super creamy and only 100 calories each.
Any of the Skinny cow products (cones, ice cream sandwiches, ice cream cups)
are good too, believe me I’ve tried them all!
