Ice Cream has to be one of the most amazing and worst things ever invented! Most amazing-because it’s my favorite food, and worst because I always crave it when I want to eat healthy 🙂 Anyways, this EAT THIS/NOT THAT post is about fast-food ice cream treats! Always be on the look out for those sneaky calorie bombs and diet busters-some treats can go over one thousand calories! (Especially shakes and blizzard treats) My favorite low calorie options include frozen yogurt, Oreo treats over m & m or Reese’s mix-ins to cut the calories; there are better options, but a girl has to have chocolate time to time!

If you liked this post, keep coming back to find more like this; I intend to put on more EAT THIS/NOT THAT posts because I find them entertaining and insightful to the food in fast food industries. If you’re interested in nutrition at fast food restaurants check out my post on THIS APP!
I often don’t count calories whilst I am eating a treat. It’s just amazing how many calories a cup of ice-cream contains! 🙁
Amazing post. Looking forward to more from you 🙂
It is pretty crazy :/. i find frozen yogurt has the best taste and nutrition, so i love indulging at self serve froyo places 🙂 I hope you have an awesome day and am glad you enjoy the post!
Thanks for the ice cream indulgence ( can’t eat dairy any more ) so I’ll just lick the screen for now 🙂
haha! have an awesome day!
I love Skinny Cow caramel vanilla ice cream cones, which are only 150 calories.
Oh! I enjoy those as well and the mini cups of ice cream they sell at groceries are great too! Have an awesome day!
I saw this link today in my inbox from Eat This Not That – they always have super helpful hints! I discovered an awesome ice cream alternative at Central Market to satiate my sweet tooth – it’s a line called Savoy Sorbet. Try it in Hibiscus Flower – SO yummy and sweet and all natural, to boot!
hmm! I’ll definitely have to look for that one! I hope you have an awesome day!
Not sure how I feel about Eat This Not That sometimes…kinda torn because I almost want to call it “Just don’t eat this at all!” HA! But I don’t want to be Debbie Downer Food Police…plus it probably helps that I’m not a huge ice cream fan. 😛
haha that’s very true. But when you wanna splurge, its always good to know it’s better than the worst, right?
thank you for stopping by, have an awesome day!
Thank you for the tips!
of course, thanks for checking them out! i hope you have a great day!
Ice cream is definitely one of my weaknesses. It is good to know there are ice creams that are “better” for you! Thanks for the tips.
no problem, thank you for stopping by. –And, I know, so delicious. Frozen yogurt has been a favorite for me lately 🙂
Ice cream is one of my favorite unhealthy foods. I just can’t seem to live without it.
completely agree. I never crave greasy fried foods, it’s always the sweet taste of ice cream. Frozen yogurt is the easiest way to get by for a “healthy version,” if you don’t load on tons of toppings 🙂 Have an awesome day!
This post shares such great insight and quick reference. Thank you for sharing and making the choice easy!
Thank you for your appreciation! I hope you have an awesome day!
