Ice Cream: Healthier Choices for Cholesterol and Sugar

Can you enjoy ice cream without guilt? Yes, if you know what to choose.

Ice cream is an essential part of summer. But what happens if you have high cholesterol or are watching your sugar intake?

Instead of traditional full-cream ice cream, look for options such as:

• Sorbet (without milk and fat, but with some attention to sugar)
• Low-fat frozen yogurt, ideally without added toppings
• Light or sugar-free ice cream, with stevia or other natural sweeteners
• Homemade banana ice cream with almond milk and fruit

Always read the labels. Minimal fat and sugars below 12g per serving are considered safe for occasional enjoyment.

And of course, quantity matters most of all.
