McDonald's Ice Cream


I know, this is a nutrition blog and I'm endorsing McDonald's.  It's true.  I've said this in the past--it is always possible to find something healthy at a restaurant --even a fast food chain.  McDonald's is no different--in fact they have several healthy options...but I'm going to talk about one in particular.  Ice cream.


OK, maybe it's not the healthiest of options, but if you are driving around and looking for a treat, McDonald's Ice Cream is a fabulous choice.  At just 150 calories per cone (130 calories per cup)--you can't beat it!    It is creamy low-fat vanilla ice cream, and yes I am slightly addicted to it.  Plus, it won't break the bank since it is part of the dollar menu ($1.06 in Massachusetts, to be exact).  


Now this does not mean that the vanilla ice cream is a healthy snack if you have it as a McFlurry.  Sorry, the candy won't do much for your waist line. You will, however, feel like you have indulged once you finish the cone.  Add on one of my other favorites, an unsweetened iced tea (just $1.00, calorie free and enormous at 32 oz.) and you have a great mid-day snack!
