If you re trying to lose weight or make healthier food choices, you might have considered swapping your favourite frozen dessert for low-calorie ice cream. In the freezer aisle of most supermarkets, you ll find an entire shelf dedicated to lighter pints that claim to be low in calories, saturated fat and sugar, and high in protein.
If ice cream already features prominently in your diet, replacing your go-to tub with a low-calorie ice cream could be a smart move.
