Is your ice cream made with oil?

This has misled so many shoppers…

Ever scooped into a tub of "ice cream" only to find out it's not quite what you expected? You're not alone.

Today, we're diving into why some products say "ice cream" while others read "frozen dessert." 🍦

The Label Trick: The key difference lies in the ingredients. True ice cream is crafted from 100% dairy, no exceptions. 🐄

Spotting the Fakes: If the ingredient list starts with oils, you're not looking at real ice cream but a frozen dessert. This sneaky swap uses oils for a creamy texture, often misleading the less attentive shopper. ✨

Make Informed Choices: Next time you're navigating the frozen aisle, take a second look at the labels. Choose products that guarantee a genuine dairy delight, ensuring you get the creamy, authentic experience you crave. 🌟

How to Choose Healthy Yogurt: Truth About the Hidden Sugar

3 teaspoons of EXTRA sugar?!

Did you know the yogurt you pick could be a sugar bomb? 😲 Even if it looks healthy! Let's dive into what’s really in your yogurt.

Here's the scoop: Plain yogurt vs. Vanilla yogurt. 🥄 Plain on the left, vanilla on the right. Always check the serving size first!

Now, the sugar... Plain yogurt has 7 grams of natural lactose sugar—no added sugars here. 🚫

But vanilla? It packs a whopping 19 grams, with plenty of added sugars listed right on the label. That’s a sugar spike waiting to happen!

What does this mean for you? That extra 12 grams in vanilla translates to about 3 teaspoons of sugar. Just imagine—each spoonful is adding more sweetness than you might want. 🥄🥄🥄

Make the Smart Choice: Opt for plain yogurt and jazz it up with fresh or frozen fruit for a healthier twist. 🍓🍇 Your body will thank you for skipping the unnecessary sugar!
