 For many, no summer night at the shore is complete without a Kohr Bros ice cream cone on the boardwalk or a trip to the local DQ. It becomes very easy to pack on the pounds if these trips aren’t done in moderation. Non-fat yogurt chains are popping up all over the Garden State, enticing customers with dozens of flavors at a fraction of the calories compared to pure ice cream.
However, along with fat-free yogurt options galore, oftentimes comes a spread of hundreds of toppings, which can include anything from syrups, to chocolate morsels, to cookie crumbs, which, of course, are not fat-free. Fruit is almost always a toppings option, but let’s be honest, how many of us out there really just go for the fruit?
SparkPeople.com, a Web site mainly known for offering a free nutrition calculator and food tracker for daily calories consumed, also produces a daily nutrition newsletter, in which I subscribe to. A recent article on “15 Diet-Friendly Ice Cream Choices” caught my eye. Provided below is the list of 15 diet-friendly ice cream options they developed to satisfy your sweet tooth.
