Baskin-Robbins New Lighter Line of Ice Cream

FitSugar — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 14:30:00 -0800

At a time when many people are resolving to eat less ice cream, Baskin-Robbins has introduced its new line of more diet-friendly treats under the umbrella name BRight Choices. The new selection includes a variety of flavors of light, fat-free, dairy-free, and no-sugar-added ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sorbet.

The company's website lists nutritional information for the different types of treats and flavors - for example, the Premium Churned Light Ice Cream has 50 percent less fat and 20 percent fewer calories than Baskin-Robbins' regular ice cream. Keep in mind the serving size for the nutritional info is for a 2.5-oz. scoop.

To find out how to score a free scoop from the BRight Choices line, read more.

Bring your gym membership card to your local Baskin-Robbins on Jan. 15 for a free scoop of any BRight Choices flavor. You're not exactly walking into the produce section when choosing a frozen treat for a snack, but it's always nice to have a lighter option when you have a hankering.

You all enjoyed my first frozen treat quiz that I thought it would be fun to take it a little further. One of my guilty Summer pleasures is a Baskin Robbins shake. ~~Foolishly~~ Wisely I glanced at the nutritional information for the shakes and will probably be opting for a small cone from here on out. You'll be shocked to see the nutritional information in some of BR's tastiest treats.

Craving a Banana Split? Try This Instead

FitSugar — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 09:00:24 -0700

I believe in the occasional frozen treat, but just because a banana split contains a serving of fruit doesn't mean it is good for you. At Dairy Queen, a banana split will cost you 530 calories and Baskin Robbins' version is nearly double that calorie count. Yikes. If you're bananas for frozen treats, I suggest you satisfy your craving with a chocolate-dipped frozen banana. Trader Joe's Chocolate Dipped Frozen Bananas are only 160 calories per banana. Or you can try the DIY version YumSugar likes. Her recipe for frozen chocolate-covered banana bites would work perfectly fine with whole bananas. I would stick a popsicle stick in the bottom of the banana to make a handle for dipping it in chocolate as well as for eating the treat.
