Just like any other food group, if not
even more importantly, keep that sugar
on a managed level.
Keep it in proportion
The scoop on
scoop sizes
Yup, a scoop should be about the
size of a tennis ball.
A portion is how much you choose to
enjoy when you eat it, which is not
always what's suggested on the
label. We know, super delicious, it's
hard to stop! But it's important to
enjoy in moderation.
Healthier with fruit

Exercise can also help maintain a
balanced diet, so get the family moving!
Everyone loves to come home to a fresh
scoop of ice cream following some fun in
the sun!
Nutrition FAQs
It’s time to get serious about proportions, health and ice cream. Of course, keeping yourself on a daily regimen of exercise, healthy diet of fruits and vegetables with a reward here and there—can even mean a good ol’ boost of morale!
Most ice creams are a rich source of phosphorus and calcium, sometimes even accounting for between 6 to 10% of the Daily Value (DV), that’s for a 1/2 cup serving. Both minerals are important for muscle function and skeletal health.
Everything in moderation! And of course enjoying an ice cream on a hot summer day, with family and friends or after a hard-earned task as a reward—there’s nothing quite like it. To avoid over-indulging, try sticking to minis, smaller bars or cones to keep your portions in check. Or use our advice on a smaller bowl or mug.
If you’re hoping to enjoy the desserts with less guilt, try Skinny Cow’s line of products like Not Fudging Around Chocolate Fudge or Next Level Vanilla Caramel. All the indulgence in perfectly reasonable proportions. Outshine offers a range on no-sugar added options, and smaller bars. Häagen-Dazs offers a few mini proportions, and sorbets that help keep you on the healthy side.
