Are you an ice cream lover like me? Homemade ice cream is the “cream” of the crop for me. Old-fashioned creameries featuring homemade ice cream and frozen custard seem to call my name as I pass by.

While I was a college student, I was addicted to ice cream, which was available for hand-dipping in the cafeteria. I totally gave up the delectable dessert for a month in an effort to break the cycle of my addiction. It worked. My daily habit was gone. But my love for ice cream continued.

I learned an important lesson – you can break habits! I had learned in class that it takes 30 days to make or break a habit, so I gave it a try. It worked for me, thankfully. While I still love ice cream, I’ve learned to eat it in moderation, savoring every bite. At local creameries, I go for the single scoop or even children’s size, if possible. All the refreshment, without overdoing it! At the grocery store, I go for the low-fat varieties and the miniature options. 

So, the new Skinny Cow Low Fat Fudge Pop Minis caught my eye. I hadn’t tried anything by Skinny Cow, but these minis looked inviting, containing only 50 calories per pop, 1 gram of fat and no trans fats. To my ice cream loving delight, I enjoyed these treats and so did the other ice cream lovers in my house. They’re cold and refreshing, creamy and chocolatey, and are just the cool treat I crave on a summer eve. 

After visiting the skinny cow Web site, I learned that some of their other varieties, which are about 100 calories per serving, also contain a respectable 4 grams of fiber per serving. Has anyone tried these?
