This ice is the least caloric of all – but it contains a hidden trap

The summer season is in full swing, and what could be better than an ice cream to cool off the days of high heat? Imagine the scenario: you are by the pool or lying on the warm sand at the beach, the sun caresses your skin and you taste an ice cream to refresh yourself. Not bad, right? The only problem: when you want to pay attention to your line, the choice can then be a little more complicated. And for good reason, some ice creams are more caloric and sweet than others. Explanation.

First of all, it is important to distinguish the different types of ice. One of them is obviously more caloric than the others: ice cream. Mixture of milk, cream and sugar it has a certain percentage of fat. It is closely followed by ice, made from water, milk but also sugar. Slightly less oily, it does not remain the lightest option.

Then there remains the option of the sorbet. Definitely less rich, it is mainly composed of water, sugar, and fruit, but no dairy product. Depending on its provenance (artisanal or industrial), it contains between 25% and 10% of fruit. Thus, the sorbet has half as many calories as an ice cream. On the other hand, its sugar content (and therefore in glucose) is much higher because of the fruits. Note that consumed in moderation, sugar and fat will have no impact on health and silhouette. Everything is then a question of taste between sorbet, ice or ice cream, and if you count the calories or not. For the three choices, it remains preferable to buy craft products, rather than industrial preparations (yes, it is a blow for us too). If your heart tells you, you can also try to make your ice yourself to choose the dosages and control what you put in it.

Whatever option you choose, it is not bad for health as long as it fits into a balanced diet. A little pleasure from time to time is not dramatic, quite the contrary! Summer is also made to enjoy after all!
