Ice cream that doesn’t hinder your diet? Yes, please.
Low-calorie ice cream is one of my favourite desserts when I am watching what I eat. It gives the best of both worlds by satisfying sugar cravings while keeping calories in check.
Not only is low-calorie ice cream a treat, but it is often high protein, making it a surprisingly smart choice if you are paying attention to your food intake. Big brands and supermarkets have also joined the trend, offering a range of options that fit a diet plan.
Guilty of eating the entire tub? Me too. So for those who prefer portion control, bite-sized options like Little Moons and Doughlicious deliver the perfect amount of indulgence in a handy size. Or, Asda Assorted Milk Lollies is a good treat for both kids and adults alike.
With so many options available, it’s even easier to treat yourself while staying on track.
