14 healthier alternatives to traditional ice cream

In a perfect world, I would eat ice cream all summer long, but it just so happens that, in this world, I am lactose intolerant and don’t have the metabolism of a super model.

If you can relate, you might appreciate some of these alternatives.

While not all of the recipes are low-calorie, they call for fresh simple ingredients without any nasty additives which certainly makes them healthier than most of the ice creams and other desserts you can buy in a store.   Most of the recipes are even dairy-free or can be easily adapted to include substitutions for milk.

Enjoy!
