How Healthy Is Your Favorite Frozen Dessert
Ice

We've wanted it since the American ice cream industry began in 1851. (Early versions of frozen treats first appeared in the 16th century). In one survey, 90% said they had made a purchase in the last six months. US standards are strict.
Ice cream must weigh at least 4.5 pounds per gallon and contain at least 20% milk solids (protein, carbohydrates, minerals) and at least 10% milk fat.
Be careful with your alternation

Ice cream is not good for your butt. A half-cup serving of vanilla contains about 207 calories, 11 grams of fat, 21 grams of sugar, and nearly 24 grams of carbohydrates. Yes, but for each ingredient you choose to avoid, there are substitutes for fat, texture, or sweetness. Read the nutrition information to see what you're getting.
Solve the milk fall
3/14
There are many new terms in modern ice cream.
• “Reduced fat” ice cream should have at least 25% less total fat. • ''Light'' - or ''Light'' - must contain at least 50% less total fat or 33.5 calories.
• ''Low Fat'' can contain up to 3 grams of total fat per half cup.
''Fat-free'' must contain less than 0.5 grams of total fat per serving.
Ice

Italy's famous frozen food is not actually ''flashy ice cream''. The two treats share most ingredients. But gelato is smoother and creamier due to less air rotation. It also has less butterfat, 3.5% to 9% compared to 10 plus ice cream. It's also served a little warmer, so fans say it allows them to enjoy the taste rather than numb their taste buds.The gelato has about 139 calories, with 18 grams each of sugar and carbs per half-cup. is.
Frozen pudding
5/14
What's different about this Midwest favorite? Eggs. Ice cream should contain less than 1.4% egg yolk, while frozen pudding should contain at least that percentage. If you stir it slowly, it will be thick and creamy with a lot less air. (Air makes up 30% to 50% of the total ice cream volume.) However, eggs add fat to about 24.5 grams per serving. Think of frozen pudding as a ''special treat'' with about 314 calories, 18 grams of sugar and 23 grams of carbohydrates.
Soft cream
14.6
There is no soft serve ice cream in the storefront ice chest as it is out of the freezer. Plenty of air usually gives the treat fluffiness while serving it cool enough for the swirl to stay stiff long enough to eat. It's a little warmer than ice cream at 21 degrees compared to its cold cousin at 10.4 degrees. One cup of chocolate soft serve contains about 222 calories, 13 grams of fat and 21 grams of sugar. Its carbohydrate count is lower than ice cream:
about 22
Frozen yogurt
7/14
It's made similarly to ice cream, but the main ingredient is yoghurt — milk fermented in a yoghurt broth. Despite having less than 3 grams of fat, froyo can have over 17 grams of sugar. A 6-ounce serving has about 162 calories and just over 32 grams of carbs. Also, the treats from the dispenser are not in proper FDA controlled packaging. Researchers have found that some ''fat-free'' soft-serve frozen yogurts are actually low-fat or even full-fat.
Sherbet
8/14
Marco Polo brought this skimmed milk ancestor of his dessert to Italy from a trip to the Far East. Sorbet is usually flavored with citrus juice, such as lime or orange, and has 1-2% less fat than ice cream. But the juice can spike sugars to about 26 grams in a half-cup serving, which works out to nearly 34 carbs and 141 calories.
Dairy-free snacks
14.9
In a recent survey, he says 45% of frozen food shoppers are choosing the vegan-friendly ''ice cream'' version more often than before. However, alternative ''milk'' such as coconut, cashews, and soy are still high in saturated fat.Tofu-branded chocolate versions contain about 15 grams of fat, 20 grams of sugar, and 20 grams of sugar per cup, 237-calorie serving. Contains 25 grams of carbohydrates. However, frozen dairy-free desserts typically do not contain as many additives as light or low-fat ice creams.
Sorbet and Italian ice cream
14.10
Sorbet is a bit like dairy-free sorbet. It consists of fruit juice, water and sugar. It is then stirred like ice cream to get the right scoop factor.The big difference from Italian ice cream or granita is the texture. Italian ice cream is shaved into icy flakes without stirring. A half cup of these frosty treats is fat-free and has only about 11 grams of carbs, which will set you back about 61 calories.When it comes to 14 grams of sugar, it's the juice that's to blame.
Frozen coffee drinks
14.11
Ice coffee has been a hot topic for a long time. So it didn't take long for a frozen caffeine superseller to hit the coffee and donut chain. A single frozen drink has about 166 calories, 2.3 grams of fat, and a whopping 33 grams of sugar (''only'' 13 grams of carbs). Oh, and about 82 milligrams of caffeine — slightly less than the 95 grams in a cup of freshly brewed coffee.
Popsicle
12/14
At about 79 calories, about 13.5 grams of sugar, and about 0.24 grams of fat, these fruit-flavored popsicles might be a slightly better choice for those with a sweet tooth than most frozen desserts. (The fruitiness increases the carb content to about 19 grams.) Remember the kind of double stick that you can break down? They were invented during the Great Depression so that two kids for just five cents he could share one.
Slimy
13/14
Take ice crystals as fine as melted snow, drizzle them in neon colors, and blend them to create a squishy delicacy. That's slushy. It's a generic term for frozen foods that are ubiquitous in convenience stores and country fairs. But watch out for sugar bombs. An 8-ounce slushy only costs about 211 calories and 0 grams of fat, but you get a whopping 40 grams of sugar and about 22 grams of carbs from the high-fructose corn syrup.
Milkshake
14/14
Milkshakes are thick frozen mixtures of milk, ice cream and flavors that are simply sipped through a straw. The Classic Malt version has about 127 calories, 12.5 grams of sugar, 6.3 grams of fat and 14 grams of carbohydrates. But don't confuse the ''real'' with the specific drive-thru version. A small vanilla shake from the famous burger chain has 490 calories, 14 grams of total fat and 59 grams of sugar.
