“Light” Ice Cream Treats

Lisa R. Young, PhD, RD

As the weather gets warmer, there’s nothing like a refreshing ice cream treat to cool you down. What to look for when selecting a “light” ice cream treat (per single—serving—one-half cup or one bar)…

Keep an eye on calories. Some of the premium brands of ice cream market light products that contain the same number of calories as regular ice cream. Be sure to check the calories—and don’t exceed 120 calories per serving.

Watch the fat content. A good rule of thumb is no more than 4 g of total fat—and 2 g of saturated fat and trans fat combined.

Go easy on sugar. Opt for a product with no more than 15 g of sugar. Avoid products that contain sugar alcohols, such as maltitol or sorbitol, which may cause intestinal distress… or artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame or Splenda, which often have an aftertaste.

My top picks…

1. BREYERS
Double Churn Light
Ice Cream (Vanilla Bean)
Serving size: ½ cup… 3 g total fat… 2 g saturated fat… 0 trans fat… 13 g sugar… 100 calories.

2. EDY’S
Slow Churned Rich & Creamy
Light Ice Cream (Vanilla)
Serving size: ½ cup… 3.5 g total fat…2 g saturated fat… 0 trans fat… 11 g sugar… 100 calories.

3. SKINNY COW
Fudge Bar
Serving size: One bar… 1 g total fat… 0.5 g saturated fat… 0 trans fat… 13 g sugar… 100 calories.

Ursla, – sorry – I accidentally hit the “send” button before I was done. -
yes, it is possible that your Robby knows Tanaka. It’s true, Tanaka would laugh and say that no one would believe me if I tried talking to anybody about them. You are a lucky lady to have met one of Tanaka’s crew…. He left several years ago and I still think about him all the time. Thank you for remembering me and sharing your story with me.

PS: My mother’s side of the family came from Gotland! Irony

Put me down for one of those disgruntled posters. I’m going out to enjoy this beautiful day.

Howie, great story about the astronauts running from their possible encounter with visitors from outer space. With a bit more plot it would make a nice sci-fi flick.

Are you from outer space? What’s your connection to Carr?

I am new, about 6 months, so I could use a little more input. You are obviously one of the main characters. The staff opinions here are you are one of Michelle’s additions designed to make the blog more interesting.

I hear she started you out as an anti character. You were always against her. Mika says you were boring and whinny then. I have only seem the statesman and guy who knows ALL.

Except I don’t know that much about you. How long have you known Carr? What happened to your side kick, AL?

My favorites are the TAO. Especially the Time Traveler. I wish he would mention Europe’s past events sometimes, though.

I am 53, but young at heart. I teach at a university and I am considering assigning the blog as a class project. But I need to know more about its characters first. Is there a place I can go to learn more?
