I have bought some of the Edy’s (Dreyer’s in other places) Slow Churned Snack Sized Cups, and they were one of the first brands to start offering mini cups – now, they’re all over the place. The Slow Churned ice creams are supposed to have 1/2 the fat and 1/3 the calories of regular ice cream and are available at most supermarkets and some convenience stores:
Chocolate – 170 cal./6 g. fat/1 g. fiber – 4 WW pts.
Chocolate Chip – 210 cal./8 g. fat/1 g. fiber – 5 WW pts.
Coffee – 160 cal./5 g. fat/1 g. fiber – 3 WW pts.
Mint Chocolate Chip – 210 cal./8 g. fat/1 g. fiber – 5 WW pts.
Vanilla Bean – 150 cal./5 g. fat/0 g. fiber – 3 WW pts.
These cups are pretty large compared to the ones I blogged about yesterday. Each snack sized cup is 6 oz. – many are just 3.5 – 4 oz. So, you could conceivably eat half the cup on a Vita Top muffin or brownie and halve the points.
Be warned: Edy’s/Dreyer’s has expanded its Snack Sized Flavors to include Fun Flavors, which are not as low in fat, and Yogurt Blends, in addition to the Slow Churned ice cream cups. Here are the Fun Flavors:
Apple Pie – 120 cal./4 g. fat/0 g. fiber – 3 WW pts. (not bad!)
Cookie Dough – 220 cal./9 g. fat/1 g. fiber – 5 WW pts.
Double Fudge Brownie – 220 cal./4 g. fat/1 g. fiber – 5 WW pts.
Mocha Almond Fudge – 210 cal./9 g. fat/1 g. fiber – 5 WW pts.
Peanut Butter Cup – 260 cal./14 g. fat/1 g. fiber – 6 WW pts.
Yogurt Blends:
Berry Granola Crunch – 190 cal./4 g. fat/0 g. fiber – 4 WW pts.
Cappuccino Chip – 190 cal./4 g. fat/0 g. fiber – 4 WW pts.
Caramel Praline Crunch – 200 cal./6 g. fat/0 g. fiber – 5 WW pts.
Chocolate Fudge Brownie – 190 cal./5 g. fat/1 g. fiber – 4 WW pts.
Peach – 160 cal./4 g. fat/0 g. fiber – 4 WW pts.
I really love the Skinny Cow Low Fat Ice Cream Cups. They are 5.8 oz. – just a smidge smaller than the Edy’s Slow Churned, but the WW Points values are substantially smaller:
Chocolate Fudge Brownie – 150 cal./2 g. fat/4 g. fiber – 2 WW pts.
Dulce de Leche – 150 cal./1 g. fat/4 g. fiber – 2 WW pts.
Strawberry Cheesecake – 150 cal./1 g. fat/4 g. fiber – 2 WW pts.
Caramel Cone – 170 cal./3 g. fat/4 g. fiber – 3 WW pts.
Cookies ‘n Cream – 150 cal./2 g. fat/4 g. fiber – 2 WW pts.
Finally, for this entry, I want to mention the Weight Watchers Ice Cream Cups. I have not tried them yet, but they come two to a pack. Fat Secret.com states that the cups are 102 grams (3.59794 oz.), so they are smaller than Skinny Cow or Edy’s Slow Churned. The information below is from the Weight Watcher website:
Cookies and Cream – Each cup is only 140 calories, 2 grams of fat and 6 grams of fiber. – 2 WW pts.
Mint Chocolate Chip – Each cup contains 140 calories, 3.5 grams of fat and 6 grams of fiber. – 2 WW pts.
Chocolate Fudge Brownie – Each cup contains 140 calories, 1.5 grams of fat and 7 grams of fiber. – 2 WW pts.
Chocolate Chip cookie Dough – Each cup contains 140 calories, 2.5 grams of fat and 6 grams of fiber. – 2 WW pts.
Peanut Butter Delight – Each cup contains 180 calories, 5 grams of fat and 6 grams of fiber. – 3 WW pts.
Turtle Sundae – Each cup contains 170 calories, 5 grams of fat and 6 grams of fiber. – 3 WW pts.
I just found two more options that are on the WW paid site – here is the link, I don’t know if you need to sign in to access it. They come in a four pack and are 132 grams (4.65616 oz.). Here are the two flavors:
Giant Chocolate Fudge Sundae Cup: 160 calories, 1 gram of fat and 5 grams of fiber – 2 WW pts.
Giant Vanilla Fudge Sundae Cup: 160 calories, 1 gram of fat and 4 grams of fiber – 2 WW pts.
That’s all for now. I am debating whether to put Blue Bunny up, because their Personals brand cups are actually 2 servings per cup.
