July is National Ice Cream Month!

I knew I LOVED the month of JULY for a reason, it's National Ice Cream Month! And it makes perfect sense; the weather is HOT the pools are open and ice cream brings friends together with a big SMILE! So how do you indulge in this delightfully cooooool treat without overindulging? Simple, portion control! And with so many products out there that help you do just that, you can have your ice cream and eat it too!
Here are some of my favorite ice cream and frozen treat products, as well as tricks for when you're out and everyone is getting ice cream, and you want to, too!

Skinny Cow Ice cream treats and sandwiches: 150 calories a piece, a real winner, and you would never know it's lowfat!

Cadbury Double Chocolate Ice cream bars: Does much need to be said? Double Chocolate?!?! Yes, I will take one please! And at 150 calories, yippeeee!

Dreyer's or Edy's Fruit Bars: Oh so refreshing and dairy-free, just 80 calories, so go get one!

Weight Watcher's Chocolate Dessert Bars: 110 calories and oh so decadent!

DID YOU KNOW? (tips for eating ice cream out)
Mcdonald's vanilla ice cream cone is only 150 calories! Need a quick fix that's inexpensive on cost and calories? This is the only time I am giving you permission to pop through the drive-thru ;)

At your favorite ice cream joint, and everyone is getting the collossal banana split with extra hot fudge? What's a B-fitter to do??
1. Share a sundae with a friend and cut your calories in half
2. Opt for the sorbet, frozen popsicle or sherbert
3. Order exactly what you want, but think about portion control. 1 cone with 1 scoop of ice cream or a small cup of your favorite ice cream with 1 topping is not going to break the bank, or your healthy lifestyle.

 MODERATION, FOLKS, that's all you need to remember!
