A cool treat on a hot summer’s day is a thing of beauty.
However, for those of us prioritizing our health this summer, these sweet treats can sometimes be a daunting idea. We’re here to help you make your best choice – based on your personal goals.
We took a look at some of the top cool desserts for summer – and we’re laying out the nutrition facts for each one: Ice cream, Frozen Yogurt, Ice Cream Alternatives, Frozen Custard, Gelato and Frozen Fruit Treats.
We took 2/3 cup servings for each treat, unless otherwise noted, and break down the calories, protein, fat, carbs and sugars they contain. We kept the flavors simple, so if you’re looking to spice up your selection – keep in mind that added flavors can change nutritional values.
No matter what your goals are: low fat, low carb, low sugar or low calories – we hope this information helps you. Regardless of which summer sweet you choose, take the time to slow down and savor it with someone you love. We guarantee you’ll enjoy it even more when you’re focusing on the experience and your company – and not worrying about the calories. It is a treat after all!
