One Scoop of Ice Cream: How Many Calories Are You Enjoying?
What’s in a Scoop?
First things first: when we say “ice cream,” what are we actually talking about? With so many choices – like our favourite, gelato – the calories can vary. Traditional ice cream tends to have more fat and sugar, which means more calories per serving size than gelato.
On average, one scoop of vanilla ice cream contains around 100 calories,* but that can change. The base matters (cream, milk, or plant-based?), and so does the sweetener – sugar, honey, or xylitol. And of course, the portion size plays a big role, too!
