Warm weather is here and that means ICE CREAM!  

Here are a few tips to watch calories if you want to indulge:

Tip 1: Pick frozen yogurt instead of ice cream!  You still get the ice cream taste but with less calories. 

Tip 2: Avoid additional toppings. These add calories to your ice treat.  If you have to have a topping, pick sprinkles instead of peanut butter cups, cookies, brownies. 

Tip 3: Order fruit options like sorbet or sherbert.  These still have a high calorie content but lower fat. 

Tip 4: Order a cup of ice cream over a cone.  The cone is added calories and every calorie counts! Hope this helps you to make the right decision when eating ice cream on a hot summer day!

Ice cream should be a treat and not an everyday snack.  It has high amounts of sugar in most cases and our bodies need fruits and vegetables in order to give our systems what they need to work efficiently.
