Ahhh, summertime! Mmmm… ice cream. I’m a big fan of both! So, lucky for you, I’ve taken some time out of my busy schedule to sample a few frozen treats. I know, I know – it’s a tough job but someone’s gotta do it right?
I’ve got some great news, too – I found several that are big on flavor but low in calories.
Here is a list of my 5 favorite frozen treats with 100 calories or less:
The ice cream in these Slim-A-Bear bars and ice cream sandwiches (wait, does that count as 2??!) is so creamy, you forget they’re low-cal. Really. 100 calories.
Healthy Choice Fudge Bars – also very creamy and satisfying. I don’t miss regular fudge bars when I have these. 80 calories.
Philly Swirl Fudge Swirl Stix are more ice-milk-y than creamy but they are sooo tasty. They come in 3 swirled flavors per pack – fudge & vanilla, fudge & caramel, fudge & chocolate. Each only has a cool 57 calories.
You can get Skinny Cow’s Skinny Dippers in combo packs of vanilla and mint or vanilla and caramel. These are also more ice milk-y than creamy but yummy nonetheless. 80 calories.
Edy’s Fruit Bars are perfect when you’re in the mood for something fruity and icy and delicious. Strawberry is my favorite. 80 calories.
Oh, there’s one more frozen treat under 100 calories that I absolutely LOVE but I didn’t include it in my list because I can never eat just one.
Whenever I buy these sinful Dove miniatures I try to trick myself by thinking since they only have 60 calories each it’s much better than buying the regular Dove bars that have 320 calories.
But when it’s all over, if I would have had just one of the bars I’d end up eating fewer calories. The miniatures are just too easy to eat one after another!
Anyway, back to my list… have you tried the frozen treats I mentioned? Do you like them? Does anybody else have any other favorites with 100 calories or less?

should I be embarrassed that all of these are currently in my freezer?
REALLY.
I pretend they are for my husband but I love me some frozen treats in this raging TX heat.

The Edys and Healthy choice are already staples in the Salinas household. The other three will be soon…If I haven’t it enough I love your site!
How is Boot Camp going?
Espero con interés sus actualizaciones!
MizFit – I usually have 2-3 of them in my freezer at one time, but now I have room for more since I finished all the Dove miniatures.
Mark – Thanks for the compliment! Boot Camp is great – my husband and I both love it. We look forward to the torture.
those swirl sticks look delicious! I don’t have ANY of these in my freezer but will be adding them to my grocery list today. Nothing says summer better than a cool frozen treat!
I love the Edy’s fruit bars, and best of all the kids love them too. I think I’ll try some of the others!
Hmmm…I’m thinking those little Dove bites look pretty good. Are they really only 60?
Niwa4me2 – yes the Dove miniatures only have 60 calories, but take it from me, you won’t be able to eat just one… or two… or three…
There’s a new frozen treat in our Whole Foods called frosteas. They also make something called frostbites. They are like icees you had as a kid, but they are all natural and only sweetened with honey or maple syrup and they’re tea flavored, though not all. And they only have like 50 calories. I love them and the kids do too.
Yum, krisskringle! I have not seen those before. I will have to try them for sure.
Thanks for the info. I love the Slim a Bears. I also eat Popsicle brand sugar free popsicles. Not sure of calorie content, but I am diabetic, so they help. Glenn
You’re welcome, Glenn! I’ve never tried the Popsicles you mention, but may have to add them to my grocery list this summer.
I work for a Dairy Queen in Ohio, and we sell a frozen novelty called a Fudge Bar, which contains only 50 calories, 0 of those are from fat! Since it’s a National chain, you can find one around the corner from you. The bars are chocolatey and smooth. And they come in a 6-pack, if one’s not enough…
Just check out Dairy Queen’s “Eats and Treats” Link, then click on “Nutritional Calculator” link for info on the Fudge Bar, and more…
I forgot to mention the
The DQ. Orange Bar only has 60 calories, none of which are from fat, either!
Bon Appe-cream!
Hi CakeLady Lisa – Thanks for the tip! I am always looking for low-cal treats – especially frozen ones.
I have tried all of these and repeatedly gone back! My kids also love them and think they’re getting a real treat even though it’s low cal. They don’t know the difference.
Heather H – That’s great that your kids don’t know the difference – good for you for getting them started on healthy habits!
