So I have a bit of a problem with portion control. I always think that “just one more scoop of ice cream” will be just fine and I certainly NEVER go easy on the whipped cream. But when all I’m left with is an empty carton and a belly full of creamy guilt, I immediately regret my decisions. I don’t care if I go into it with THE BEST intentions, I will always go back for at least one more scoop (although, I’ll admit, I can normally stop there).

That’s why I’m mildly obsessed with Skinny Cow individual ice cream portions.

From the makers of my beloved peanut butter ice cream sandwiches, the lean cattle have done it again and have created a product that my grocery store can’t seem to keep on its shelves. With flavors like Cookies and Cream, Strawberry Cheesecake, Caramel Cone, Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Dolce de Lecce, there’s something for every ice cream lover. Did I mention they are all 170 calories or less? Sure, there is still sugar and other ingredients that don’t necessarily make ice cream a healthfood, but if you are gonna have ice cream, you have to expect that it’s going to be a treat. And I’m totally OK with that, especially when I can actually limit myself to one serving (or two ).

Now for those of you who don’t have issues with portion control, I hate your guts – only kidding, we can still be friends! But seriously, this product isn’t necessarily the best bet for everyone, but for those who have trouble stopping their love affair with ice cream, it may be a good solution. I’ve also seen many other “individual serving” varieties, such as Ben & Jerry, Hagen Daz, etc., but enjoy Skinny Cow due to the reduced calories and fat.
