Portion control

I love ice cream, but it's tempting to eat large portions when I'm just scooping it directly from the container.  A great way around this is to buy packs of ice cream in pre-portioned cups. Each portion is 1/2 cup, which gives you about 100 calories depending on the brand. Usually, chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, or swirls are available.  
You also get some calcium with ice cream, as you would with any dairy food like milk or yogurt.  These are quick and easy for kids, too!   

I think it's snack time.
