Eat ice to cool off but get fatter? This ingredient is super low in calories!

The weather is so hot. If you don’t have some ice cream to replenish water and cool down, your body will melt if you stay in the sun for a while. However, there are a wide variety of ice creams on the market, and the calories vary greatly. How to choose is a science. Let’s take a look at how nutritionists choose to avoid unknowingly consuming too many calories and getting a bigger belly!

Dairy ice cream is high in fat and calories

The more fragrant and delicious the food is, the more sugar and fat it is usually made with. Commercially available ice cream is no exception, especially dairy ice cream, which has a high fat content and a lot of calories.

The most common tub of ice cream in stores, if you scoop a small ball with an ice cream scoop, you will immediately reach over 100 calories. If you choose soft serve ice cream from fast food restaurants or convenience stores, one cup will be about 140-150 calories. And a fast food sundae topped with chocolate sauce or jam, or an ice cream topped with chocolate chips, will have nearly 400 calories per cup. Remember to exercise for 30 minutes after eating to burn off the extra calories.

Traditional ice cream focuses on ingredients and avoids tapioca pearls, glutinous rice balls and nuts.

There are many fans of this traditional ice cream that uses shaved ice, tofu pudding, and grass jelly as the base, and people choose to add red beans, mung beans, tapioca pearls and other ingredients according to their preferences to customize it. However, most of these various ingredients are staple foods, such as red beans, mung beans, sweet potatoes, taro, tapioca pearls, glutinous rice balls, etc. They are often boiled with sugar water during the production process. If you are not careful, you will consume too much sugar, so you must be careful. In addition, crispy and delicious peanuts are also a popular ingredient. However, a tablespoon of peanuts in an ice cream shop is equivalent to drinking a tablespoon of oil. If you want to order some peanuts, remember not to add too much!

It is recommended to add some low-calorie ingredients that are not cooked in sugar water, such as grass jelly, agaric, and fungus. These can also enhance the taste without worrying about consuming too many calories.

If you want something even more refreshing and hassle-free, why not try this lemon pineapple agar-agar drink that nutritionists can make at home? It uses local fresh fruits and pairs them with low-calorie and light-burden agar-agar, which can be said to be the perfect summer drink!
