A maximum of two scoops of ice a day can be eaten, according to the blanket recommendation of the Consumer Initiative in Berlin. Instead of eating cream ice cream every day, you should also resort to fruit ice cream. A scoop of cream ice cream can contain over 200 calories.

Summer is the wedding of the ice cream parlors. With good ice cream vendors, snakes are forming, fast word has spread around who sells the best ice cream. Without regret, ice cream can be consumed every day, if the maximum amount of balls is not exceeded. Because the disadvantage with cold ice is that the strong sweetness is not tasted. „Take the test and let ice melt“, says Antonio Pala, ice trader from Hanover. If you try, you will notice at the latest how much sugar is added to the ice cream.

Cream ice cream with extra calories
Cream ice has a particularly high calorie content. Over 200 calories can come together depending on size and other ingredients (75 to 150 grams of ice). Slightly less fat is contained in milk ice cream, but even here an ice ball can contain up to 150 calories. Instead, consumers should often resort to fruit ice cream. This contains far fewer calories because the milk supplement is missing. The consumer initiative stated that a scoop of fruit ice contained around 125 kilocalories. Sorbet ice cream is particularly low in fattening. That contains just once per ball 50 to 80 calories. In order to avoid additional fatteners, consumers should refrain from chocolate sauce, crumble and cream domes. „A raspberry sorbet must have a fruit content of at least 25 percent, a raspberry ice must have a fruit content of at least 20 percent.“

Ice consists of water, milk, cream and sometimes also of yolk. In addition, there are often flavors, lots of sugar and the later flavors vanilla, chocolate, strawberry or woodruff. Subsequently, the cream is mixed with a special ice cream machine with constant stirring to a cold ice mass. According to some polls, Germans love to eat vanilla ice cream and chocolate ice cream. The average German consumes about 8.1 liters of ice cream per year. (Sb)
