Well it finally happened, I've been going along just fine and it hit me yesterday full force- I miss ice cream. :confused: It was my favorite treat and I've not cheated or veered and I won't now, but I am mourning the loss of a dairy queen twist cone dipped in chocolate.
Anyone have suggestions for some reasonably close alternative? I just can't shake the craving!

You can buy several low carb, high protein alternatives, like skinny cow, halo top. I like the frozen Yasso bars, they are frozen Greek yogurt and come in a lot of delicious flavors, all under 100 cals and they are high protein too.

I love the Yasso bars too, particularly the black raspberry chip.

I always loved ice cream too. I craved it so I bought every flavor of Yasso bars as a substitute. As Julie mentioned, they are pretty good and give you that "fix". Then about 3 months after surgery, we were on vacation and my nieces wanted ice cream so we stopped. I allowed myself the splurge. I couldn't believe it, it tasted sickeningly sweet and the cream was way too heavy for my taste! I ended up tossing it after a couple licks. I don't know if it was because I'd become accustomed to frozen yogurt or if it was a taste change attributed to my surgery but either way, I haven't craved it since. It may be one that changes for you too.
