Nah, it’s not really a coincidence that Skinny Dip City’s first day on the job coincides with National Ice Cream Month. I mean, look at us! We swim in the frozen stuff. So, to kick off a whole July of brain-freeze, we’re giving the scoop on how to indulge in the drippy dessert, while milking it for everything it’s worth.
No Bloat!
We usually get our fiber fix from not such fun sources like, oatmeal and beans. But even 96-year-old ice-cream maker, Blue Bunny, doesn’t expect us to chug our grandmother’s (blech) prune juice. The veteran Wells Dairy Company paired its latest summer release, Sedona Frozen Yogurt Granola Sandwiches (available in strawberry and chocolate) with the ingredient that helps you go. The 180-calorie thick sandwich—which oozes with fudge or fruit—is secured with honey oat granola wafers and filled with 3 sneaky grams of fiber. We just might become um, regulars.
Cheers!
By the time we reach dessert, there’s usually no room for another cocktail. But that doesn’t mean we don’t want one. Thanks to Mercer’s Dairy who’s ingeniously spiked its ice cream with 5% alcohol (yep, bring ID), we no longer need to sacrifice our post-dinner buzz. With flavors like Ala Port, Cherry Merlot, Chocolate Cabernet, Peach White Zinfandel, Royal White Riesling and Red Raspberry Chardonnay we’re gonna have our ice cream and eat our polyphenol antioxidants too. On Shelves at Whole Foods, Grace’s Marketplace & Sedutto.
Free tasting on 7.20.09 from 3pm-7pm at Whole Foods—Columbus Circle
Skim!
Your ad-worthy milk moustache no longer has to come from the carton. Capitalizing on the fact that ice cream can make all your problems go away and build strong bones, Turkey Hill fortified some of its flavors with extra calcium and Vitamin D. Go on, stick your whole face into: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Banana Split Light Recipe Ice Creams , Fudge Ripple and Chocolate Marshmallow Frozen Yogurts all the while murmuring, “it does a body good.”
Perfection!
By replacing cow’s milk, with the kind from a furry-skinned fruit, Turtle Mountain’s Purely Decadent Coconut Milk Ice Cream is like your best friend ever.
- Digestible even by the least tolerant of lactose
- 1/2 cup has only 150 calories, 8 grams sugar, 5 grams fiber (tops the Bunny!).
- It’s plant based, so there’s no damaging of the eco-system with the cow’s grazing and, the “moo”-ers get some time off from farm work.
