Substitute for Diet-Killing Picnic Foods Ice cream. I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream. And well really be screaming when we try to stuff ourselves into our swimsuits after eating everyones favorite fatty, frosty indulgence. Its hard to resist a cool ice cream cone on a hot summer day, and the tinkling of the ice cream truck bell can still make me want to bolt into the street. But depending on scoop size (which can average from 1/2 cup to a full cup or more), that scoop of vanilla can have upwards of 400 calories and as much as 25 grams of fat, up to 15 of them saturated. If youre culinarily gifted, you might consider making your own sorbet. If not, check out some of the ones available on the market. Sorbets are usually low-fat or nonfat, although they can still have tons of sugar. Try to find some that are mostly fruit. Speaking of fruit, for a healthy frozen treat, how about sticking some fruit in the freezer? Most fruits, especially berries, grapes, and bananas, freeze quite well. Theyll last longer and popping a few frozen grapes in your mouth can cool you off on a hot day and youll still get all the vitamins, fiber, and health benefits that a Creamsicle® just cant provide.
