Low fat low sugar ice cream anyone?

[slimmerkay]

Well I didn't mean did you want some lol. I meant does anyone know where I can get some?

 

[dawny]

karen i got some of them skinny cow ice cream lollies, ive not tried them yet though so i dont know if theyre ok or not. but tescos sell some low fat ice cream im sure ive heard someone say it. i cant remembr the name, summat like franks i think it was

 

[slimmerkay]

Thanks Dawny. Thing is most of them have around 13g per 100g of sugars and the dietician said stick to 8g per 100g.

I have emailed her to ask if she knows of any I can have.

karen. morrisons eat smart vanilla ice cream. its lush.

 

[slimmerkay]

Kay - do you know how much sugars per 100g there is in the Morrisons one?

Karen, I cope with the Skinny Cow ones but then I'm not much of a dumper. The best way is to make it yourself. My current favorite is 300gm LF Fromage Frais, 1 tub Muller Light Yogurt (you choose), 1-2 tbs granulated sweetner and chopped fruit to taste. Plonk it all in an ice-cream maker and Bob's your uncle!

I got a reply from the dietician:

Hi Karen you won’t ever be having 100g of the skinny cow ice cream therefore have one you should be fine with it. Patients can tolerate the skinny cow ones without difficulties

jennie

So off I trotted to Sainsbury's who list Skinny Cow on their on line shopping and they didn't have any

 

[dawny]

when i look at the sugar on things, i look at the actual serving, not the 100g bit, cos like your dietician said, you wont be eating that much. ive been ok up to now, but then i may not be much of a dumper. im glad you were told you could have skinny cos, ive had some in my freezer for a couple of weeks now and not had any. is there any where else you can get them from, i got mine from tesco.
all the best. hugs x

Hi Kay, Walls do a light ice-cream and I'm pretty sure this is what I had after my op in the Spire with Mr Ammori. My taste buds have changed so much that I can't even tolerate ice-cream now.

No, no, no, no! You would think so, wouldn't you? But I was looking at this only yesterday and it's about 13-15 g per 100g!

I was shocked because I would've thought diabetic ice cream would've been safe!
I'm going to buy an ice cream maker!

Linzi do you know how much sugar there is in the Hot Chocolate powder? I dump so easily.

 

[ditzeeblonde]

I use green & blacks organic which has 13.6g carbs per 100g so the sugars will be less plus its spread out over the portions. HTH. xx

 

[Grace]

thanks Linzi. an ice cream maker is on my 'to buy' list! Maybe for Christmas! Along with a Tefal Actifry!

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Yes I have one on my birthday list am going to make the protein one today tho without a machine. x
