I work at a pizza place, as a waitress. Most of the food we have there, I won't even touch because they are too high in points. One thing I've really missed is our various flavors of Gelato (Italian Ice Cream).
Since I started Weight Watchers a few weeks ago, I haven't even looked at it unless I was serving it to a customer, figuring it was not even worth the points. I knew that it is lower in fat than regular ice cream, because that is one of our selling points, but there isn't any nutrition information available (another reason I didn't want to chance it).
Well, today I couldn't resist. I had one VERY SMALL scoop of the Peach (my favorite). I know from working there that all the fruit flavors are water-based because that's another selling point we have (dairy free!), so I figured it would be a smarter choice than the cookies and cream (one of my favorites pre-WW). Also, I had a bunch of AP's left over today so I figured it would be ok.
So when I got home, I looked up the nutrition information. According to several different sources, water-based fruit gelato IS VERY LOW IN CALORIES AND HAS NO FAT! That means, it is a very-low point snack! You have NO IDEA how excited I am about this information. The peach gelato is so very, very delicious! I feel like I'm cheating, but I'm not!
Here is the nutrition information I came up with:
Calories: 80-100
Fat: 0-0.6
Fiber: Less than 1 gram
You do the math on the points (mainly because I'm not allowed to post them, haha).
So happy.
The most wonderful discovery of today!
Yay! For delicious low-point food finds.
