Enlightened

You’d never guess that Enlightened’s ice creams contain just 70-100 calories per serving and less than half the sugar of mainstream options. The brand churns out dozens of inventive flavor options—all with a distinctive melted marshmallow-like texture—to please any palate. Enlightened’s “Movie Night” pint captures the essence of buttered popcorn in a slightly salty base, swirled with sweet caramel and studded with chocolate bits. Chocolate lovers bliss out with spoonfuls of the fudge brownie flavor, an ultra-decadent blend of milk chocolate ice cream with chewy chunks of brownie and itty-bitty chocolate chips. With rainbow sprinkles in a cake batter ice cream, Enlightened’s birthday cake pints will take your tastebuds straight back to childhood. They now also offer keto ice cream in flavors like Chocolate Glazed Donut, Red Velvet, and Butter Pecan, with each pint clocking in at only one net gram of carbs per serving.

Peekaboo

Peekaboo ice cream has mastered the art of disguise. It hides vegetables in every flavor, packing pints with vitamins and minerals that you’d never expect to find in a dessert. Cauliflower hides in Peekaboo’s rich, dark chocolate ice cream; zucchini is undetectable in its classic cookie dough flavor. Beets bestow the brand’s cotton candy ice cream with a fun tickle-me-pink color (without any of that bitter, earthy flavor). Just a half cup of Peekaboo’s luscious strawberry ice cream gives you 20 percent of your daily vitamin C needs, courtesy of organic carrots. And if you know you need to eat more leafy veggies, just pick up some of Peekaboo’s refreshing mint chocolate chunk, made even greener with the addition of spinach.

My/Mo Mochi Ice Cream

Let’s face it: Eating ice cream straight from the pint can be a dangerous move for people with limited self-control (myself included!). My/Mo Mochi Ice Cream solves for that with portion-controlled balls of RBST-free ice cream bundled in pillowy-soft mochi dough. The chewy, satiny spheres contain around 110 calories each, and just one is enough to satisfy even the strongest sweet tooth. Flavors range from traditional (like green tea, vanilla bean, and cookies & cream) to trendy (think dulce de leche, chocolate sundae, and s’mores). Vegans, get excited: My/Mo also has a line of dairy-free options made from cashew cream (in flavors including salted caramel and strawberry).

And if you need an even bigger fix of chocolate, Chloe’s has dark-chocolate dipped chocolate pops with crunchy quinoa crisps that hit all the right notes. The best part?

So Delicious Mousse

Pick up a pint of So Delicious frozen mousse, and you might wonder if half the dessert is missing. Don’t worry—while extremely lightweight, it’s packed full of the fluffiest, creamiest ice cream-like mousse you could ever imagine. At just 330 calories or less per pint, you can eat as much as you’d like; select pints are also free of added sugar. The silky mouthfeel and punch of flavor in each dairy-free bite might leave you perfectly sated after just a few airy spoonfuls, though. So Delicious offers several different flavors of its vegan frozen mousse, made with a base of cashew milk or oat milk (there are also ice cream bars and pints made with coconut milk, almond milk, or soy milk). Choose from peanut butter, chocolate chip, or caramel swirl if you’re looking for something rich. Otherwise, try one of the fruity flavors, like mango, cranberry-cherry, strawberry, or lemon. Basically, you can’t go wrong.
