Which Ice Cream is the Healthiest?

April 29, 2019

Eating ice cream has been a favored pastime for generations young and old. Nothing beats a cold treat on a summer day. Especially when you’re sharing the experience with friends. Whether your favorite thing to eat is character-themed popsicle-style ice cream, a traditional cone with sprinkles, or a novelty like Choco Taco, there’s a flavor out there for everyone. One thing we don’t always think about when wanting some ice cream is choosing an option with fewer calories. However, watching waistlines is a must for many today. But which option is really healthier – chocolate or vanilla? How many calories do you actually save by skipping the sprinkles anyways?

Calories in Ice Cream

The truth is ice cream can be healthy. It has calcium and potassium which are good for the bones. The trick is to know serving sizes and not going overboard. One cup of chocolate ice cream has 286 calories while its counterpart vanilla has 274 calories and the third popular ice cream flavor, strawberry, contains 254 calories per cup. Add a teaspoon of rainbow sprinkles to this and you ups your total calories by 20.
