Tips For Replacing Ice Cream With A Healthier Option

Mind is All

Although most people enjoy having a nice little bowl of ice cream after their evening meal, they also know that ice cream is not exactly the healthiest of options. You can certainly keep ice cream as a once-in-a-while treat, especially if you are a true ice cream lover. But you should also find a way to cut it out of your routine on most nights, by knowing what some great ice cream alternatives are.

Most people who crave ice cream start to find (as they try to cut ice cream out of the routine) that what they really crave is something cold and either creamy or juicy. Of course, it is also nice if this "something cold and creamy/juicy" that you try to use as a replacement is also sweet! But if you want to start out trying to replace ice cream with the opposite extreme, you can try something such as watermelon or pineapple. Both of these fruits are cold and juicy, and they also have an element of sweetness; what's more, of course, is that they are very healthy!

Many people also find that yogurt is a satisfactory after-dinner replacement for ice cream on most nights. You will want to look for yogurt that is made organically and that is not full of sugar; otherwise, it would be just about the same to have a bowl of ice cream!

Popsicles are another treat that many people find to be an enjoyable replacement for ice cream, and you can even make healthy popsicles if you make them on your own! Take some ice cube trays and freeze your favorite juice - using toothpicks instead of popsicle sticks.

And finally, you can replace something cold and creamy with something that is hot and creamy, trying some after-dinner coffee instead of some after-dinner ice cream. If you are a coffee fan (and if it will not keep you up all throughout the night!), this can be a great way to go.

Even though you do not, of course, need to cut coffee out of your diet entirely, you should find some alternatives that work for you so that you do not end up eating ice cream every night!
