Calories in Ice Cream Desserts
Ice cream desserts come in a wide variety of flavors, often with additives such as chocolate flakes or chips, ribbons of sauce such as caramel or chocolate, nuts, fruit, and small candies/sweets. Some of the most popular ice cream flavors are vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and Neapolitan (a combination of the three).

Non-fat and low-fat ices and frozen yogurts contain less fat, but in the end they are not necessarily lower in calories because manufacturers compensate for the lack of fat by increasing the sugar. Facts:
Fruit sorbets (which are high in sugar but fat-free) are better choice when you want to end a meal with a frozen dessert.
Fat-free frozen yogurt is a good substitute for ice cream; a half cup topped with fresh fruit and toasted wheat germ can satisfy cravings for a frosty treat and supply useful amounts of calcium, vitamins, and fibber. And just remember these frozen treats should only be a reward for achieving a goal, not a habit! |
