7.Nondairy Treats
In a recent poll, 45% of frozen treat buyers said they go for vegan “ice cream” versions more than they used to. But alternative “milks” — like coconut, cashew, or soy — still pack a lot of saturated fat. One tofu brand’s chocolate version has nearly 15 grams of fat, 20 grams of sugar, and 25 grams of carbs per 1-cup, 237-calorie serving. But nondairy frozen desserts tend not to have as many additives as light or low-fat ice cream.
8.Sorbet and Italian Ice
Sorbet is a bit like sherbet, minus the dairy. It’s made of fruit juice, water, and sugar. Then it’s churned like ice cream, which nails the scoop factor. The big difference from Italian ice, or granita, is texture. Italian ice is scraped, not stirred, into icy flakes. A half-cup of these frosty treats will set you back only 61 calories with zero fat and only about 11 grams of carbs. As for the 14 grams of sugar — blame it on the juice.
