National Ice Cream Day

  Today is National Ice Cream Day. This tasty treat can be healthy, too. Here are a few options. 
  First, be aware of portion size. Overestimating the serving size can easily double or triple the calories in a dish of ice cream. Have 1/2 cup and measure how much your ice cream scoop holds, or use portion controlled ice cream cups.
  There are also many varieties of lighter ice creams with reduced sugar or reduced fat, so pick the one that you enjoy the most. Just compare the total calories per serving to choose the best one.
  Frozen yogurt or fruit sorbets are also great alternatives to heavier ice creams, and my Frozen Dessert recipe is another yummy option.
