Nondairy versions of traditional ice cream brands generally have fewer calories and less fat than their related dairy versions. Some brands such as Halo Top may include sugar alcohols, which provide fewer calories than sugar but also might cause GI discomfort, especially when large amounts are consumed. That’s at least half of a woman’s daily sugar limit and at least a third of a man’s daily limit, according to American Heart Association sugar guidelines. The amount of sugar in dairy-free “ice cream” ranges too, though it’s common to find at least 3 teaspoons per serving for some brands. For example, So Delicious’ lower-calorie Vanilla Bean coconut milk ice cream still has 6 grams of saturated fat – or close to a third of one’s daily limit per serving. Generally speaking, frozen desserts made with coconut milk will be higher in saturated fat. One-month sugar detox: A nutritionist explains how and why A quick look at the label reveals that for both of Tofutti’s flavors, sugar, corn syrup solids and corn and palm oils top the ingredient lists, after water.Īt least Luna & Larry lists organic coconut milk first, along with other organic ingredients like organic fair trade cocoa, making it a better choice for those more conscious about the quality and origin of an ice cream’s ingredients. Tofutti’s chocolate and vanilla soy ice creams also top 200 calories per serving. (The brand’s dark chocolate flavor is similar, with 200 calories and 12 grams of saturated fat per serving). That’s more saturated fat than what you’ll find in a Burger King Whopper. For example, Luna & Larry’s Coconut Bliss Vanilla Island ice cream has over 200 calories per half-cup serving – and 14 grams of saturated fat, which raises LDL, the “bad” cholesterol.
That’s a reasonable amount of discretionary calories and fat, and if you’re concerned about your weight or heart health, these vegan options can be enjoyed without making much of a dent in your daily calorie and saturated fat budgets.īut not all dairy-free “ice creams” are created equal, and just because an ice cream is labeled “dairy-free” or “vegan” doesn’t mean it’s healthier than the regular version. Similarly, Dream’s vanilla-flavored almond milk ice cream has 140 calories and 1 gram of saturated fat per half-cup serving. For example, So Delicious’ Creamy Vanilla soy milk ice cream has only 120 calories and 0 grams of saturated fat per half-cup serving. If you are counting calories but crave dairy-free “ice cream,” you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find that some versions of this indulgent treat are relatively low in fat and calories. Got alt-milk?
