Even though ice cream is not necessarily healthy, there is nothing to stop you from indulging in the delicious cooling treat every now and then. You should follow these tips.
10 tips for carefree ice cream enjoyment
- Do not snack on ice cream on the side, but consciously plan it as a dessert. Otherwise, superfluous calories add up quickly.
- In the ice cream parlor order only two instead of three scoops. On cream, brittle, chocolate sauce, nut or chocolate pieces, sugar pearls, etc. rather do without – these extras provide additional calories.
- For ready-made ice cream, the packaging or the notice board provides information about what kind of ice cream it is or how high the sugar, fat and energy content.
- Ice cream and fruit ice cream are lower in calories than cream ice cream. Water ice and sorbets contain little or no fat and are thus naturally light variants.
- A sorbet is quite easy to make yourself at home: Mix pureed fruit with yogurt or buttermilk and chill in the freezer for a few hours, stirring in between.
- Fruit ice cream for children homemade: Fill fruit juice pure or diluted with water in special popsicle molds and freeze.
- Once melted ice cream not freeze again.
- Hands off ice packs on which ice crystals have formed. They indicate too warm storage or a break in the cold chain.
- Keep ice cream at home at least minus 18 ° C in the 3-star compartment of the refrigerator or in the freezer. So it keeps for several months or until the stated best-before date of the manufacturer.
- Light or diet ice cream from the refrigerated section also offers a good opportunity to save calories. But beware. Quickly eaten more and the positive effect is gone.
