Is Ice Cream Worth Substituting?
Ice cream is an indulgence, so the calorie-counters among you might be tempted to use frozen yogurt instead. Dont bother. Though it varies by brand, ice cream and yogurt have about the same calories (with some brands actually spiking higher) and because yogurt has less fat, manufacturers add more sugar to make up for it. What frozen yogurt does have going for it is live active cultures, so if you find that ice cream tends to upset your stomach a bit, frozen yogurt can be a better choice. I personally love gelato, but there really is nothing like a scoop of vanilla ice cream next to a hot slice of apple pie. Simply make sure that your ice cream has ingredients that you can actually pronounce and dont go overboard with portions. As far as Im concerned, this particular indulgence isnt worth substituting for pie a la mode. How ever you decide to serve your healthy Thanksgiving, just make sure you cut a little fat and calories here and there, keeping the taste in mind. Go with fresh, simple
