Healthy Ice Cream Treats: The Yummiest "Light" Options

We sent Hungry Girl Lisa Lillien, a FITNESS contributor, to the freezer case and asked her to sample some of the new "light" ice creams. (It's a tough job, we know, but somebody's gotta do it.) Here, her three favorites.

1. Dreyer's/Edy's Loaded Frozen Dairy Dessert, Cookies 'N Cream
If you like your ice cream packed with goodies, you'll love the new "Loaded" line. Yum! The big mystery: How do they manage to keep the calorie and fat count so low?

Nutrition facts per 1/2 cup: 110 calories, 2g protein, 18g carbohydrate, 3.5g fat (1.5g saturated), 1g fiber

2. Klondike Slim-A-Bear 100-Calorie Ice Cream Bars
Only slightly smaller than your average light ice cream sandwich, these treats are super-satisfying and pack two grams of fiber. For 100 calories, you can't beat it.

Nutrition facts per sandwich: 100 calories, 1g protein, 11g carbohydrate, 7g fat (5g saturated), 2g fiber

3. Weight Watchers Strawberry, Key Lime, and Passion Fruit Sherbet and Ice Cream Bars
If you're a fan of Creamsicles, you'll love these. They've got strawberry, passion fruit, or key lime sherbet on the outside and creamy vanilla ice cream on the inside. Mmm!
