You\u2019ve been good since Christmas.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve stuck to your diet and you\u2019re losing weight.<\/p>\n
Summer can be a good motivation because it\u2019s bathing suit time but there are two words that stand in your way to a great summer body, ice cream.<\/p>\n
Ice cream for all its deliciousness has a lot of added sugar.<\/p>\n
You may think you can get the kind with artificial sweetener but those are known to be unhealthy.<\/p>\n
Plus, it\u2019s all processed, probably with corn syrup.<\/p>\n
What can you do? How will you and your diet survive?<\/p>\n
There are a few ice cream hacks you can put in your bag of diet tricks.<\/p>\n
You can control the calories you eat.<\/p>\n
One recipe that features chocolate meringue cookies with fat free vanilla ice cream between them only has 54 calories.<\/p>\n
Mash up bananas and top them with nuts for a makeshift healthy substitute for ice cream.<\/p>\n
Mashed bananas have the same texture and ice cream and taste great.<\/p>\n
Smoothies can be extremely healthy, depending on what you put in them.<\/p>\n
You can have a vegetable one with spinach and carrots.<\/p>\n
An apple and green tea smoothie gives you energy.<\/p>\n
A smoothie is cold and has the same feel as an ice cream shake, making it a great substitute.<\/p>\n
You can get the same sundae taste with a low-fat frozen yogurt topped with some of your favorite things.<\/p>\n
Only lay off the gummy bears and top with nuts, granola, and fruit.<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t have to suffer through a summer with no sweet treat of ice cream.<\/p>\n
You can create your own versions that keep your diet in check and your mind off the half-gallon sitting in the freezer for the rest of the family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
