First of all, Happy 4th of July to everyone! Ahh, summertime. Picnics, swimming, barbecues, fresh fruit and of course, ice cream. There's nothing better on a hot summer night than a bowl of ice cream.
Eh, who am I kidding? I eat ice cream year round! It can be the dead of winter and I'll still want my hubby to venture out to get me a flurry. Now, for obvious reasons, that's not practical. First, we can't afford to do it every day like I'd like to. Second, daily ice cream isn't exactly the way to go about weight loss. So, although I certainly COULD eat ice cream every day, I don't.
But, for those days when I just can't fight the craving and have to have it, I've found a great substitute! For anyone who hasn't been introduced to The Skinny Cow brand, consider this your formal introduction! I want to tell you all about The Skinny Cow individual ice cream cups. They're about 150 calories a cup and they come in 4 different flavors. I've tried them all, but my personal favorite is the Caramel Cone. Super yum!!
I love these Skinny Cow cups for a number of reasons. First, they're super yummy! Secondly, they're low fat and relatively low calorie. Third, all the work is done for me. It forces me to exercise portion control. I can eat the whole cup and know that I've only consumed 150 calories, vs. taking scoop after scoop out of a gallon of ice cream without no clue as to how much I've actually eaten.
Now, I'd be lying if I told you that they're as good as the full fat version, because they're not. But, for 150 calories and peace of mind, they're pretty close! If you've never tried them, I encourage you to do so. I don't think you'll be sorry!
