Rich Ice Cream (Flavors Other Than Chocolate) (1 Cup)

Choose a smaller serving of rich ice cream and eat it slowly, preferably in a bowl rather than directly from the container.

Have the ice cream after a balanced meal containing protein, non-starchy vegetables, and healthy fats instead of eating it on an empty stomach.

Pair the dessert with a small handful of nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, or pistachios, to slow digestion and improve fullness.

Avoid adding high-sugar toppings such as syrup, candy, cookies, or sweetened whipped cream; use cinnamon, vanilla, or a few berries instead.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating to help your muscles use circulating glucose.

Consider alternatives with less added sugar, such as plain Greek yogurt with berries or a small portion of frozen berries blended with unsweetened yogurt.
