Should you really make the switch to 'healthy' ice creams? What a registered dietitian wants you to consider first:
I once made black bean brownies, a process that involves pureeing an entire can of beans into a batter that bakes up surprisingly rich and fudgy. My kids, who were well aware of the secret ingredient, agreed it tasted good. But my teenager was annoyed. “Brownies aren’t supposed to be healthy,” he griped.
But there’s a trade-off. To reduce the overall sugar content, these treats may contain sweeteners like stevia and monk fruit and sugar alcohols . To boost the fiber and sweetness, they may add prebiotic fiber, which can also trigger bloating and gas for some. That’s especially true if you eat the whole pint .
You actually could eat a whole pint for roughly the same calories as a half-cup serving of Häagen-Dazs. But would it be as satisfying? Sometimes low-cal treats don’t end up quelling the cravings, so we just eat more of them .you eat the whole pint? Sure, the half-cup serving list on ice cream labels isn’t realistic—and heck, sometimes a pint of ice cream and a spoon is a solace after an especially terrible day.
There’s also the issue of whether added nutrients like protein and fiber automatically make something like ice cream “healthy”. As a dietitian, I love when people get more of the nutrients they need. But I’d rather see people eating foods naturally rich in those nutrients, not desserts engineered to seem nutritious. I’d also rather see someone occasionally have a bowl of premium ice cream than scarf down a pint of light ice cream every night because they feel guilty about eating the real deal.
Bottom line: Enjoy these low-cal frozen treats if you truly enjoy them. If you don’t, buy individually wrapped bars or cups when you want ice cream.
