Smart Ice Cream Choices

Go homemade if you want to get the kids involved in making their own treats. Buy small, soft cookies - Snackwell's Devil's Food are perfect - and reduced-fat ice cream in their favorite flavor. Let the ice cream soften and scoop some between two cookies for a lightened-up, homemade version of gourmet ice cream sandwiches. Roll soft bananas in small chocolate chips and freeze in wax paper for a treat that satisfies and gives kids an extra potassium punch. For toddlers, bite-sized chunks of mango can be put on popsicle sticks and frozen for a sweet treat. Concerned about a melting mess? Many classic frozen treats come in smaller versions that melt more slowly, including small popsicles that contain a bit of gelatin to keep them from running down kids' arms. Ice cream is the perfect treat in hot weather, so feel good about kids' choices - and don't hesitate to flag down that truck!
