Ice Cream Sundae with Fruit Topping (with Whipped Cream) (1 Sundae)

Choose a smaller serving or split the sundae; ask for extra fruit and less ice cream, syrup, and whipped cream.

Skip sugary sauces, caramel, candy pieces, cookie crumbs, and maraschino cherries; use a modest amount of berries or sliced peach instead.

Add a small handful of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, to slow absorption and increase fullness.

Have the sundae after a balanced meal containing protein, non-starchy vegetables, and healthy fats rather than on an empty stomach.

Take an easy 10–20 minute walk soon after eating, if this is safe for you.

For future treats, consider plain Greek yogurt with berries, nuts, and a small amount of whipped cream as a lower-sugar alternative.
