I'm crazy for ice cream and frozen treats. So when I walk down the frozen dessert aisle at my local market, I can't help but stick my head in the freezer to check out all the latest goodies to hit store shelves. Regular ice cream, frozen fruit bars and kid-friendly frozen goodies are still there, but low-calorie ice creams, non-dairy choices and fruit-only bars have started taking over. Which ones are right for you? Here's a nutritional rundown of the newest options to help you decide:

Pops and Bars

The ice pop aisle has been expanding, specifically targeting consumers who are looking for fruit bars with less or no added sugar, or for allergy-friendly choices. Here are four that you'll find on the market; I recommend them all:

Personally, I'm happy that there are now non-dairy ice cream alternatives since the real thing causes me tummy upset.  I do believe, though, that many of these alternatives have more sugar than the already  overly sweetened real ice cream.   If on a sugar/carb-controlled diet, you just can't eat a lot of these non-dairy treats.

I started buying frozen cherries and just eating them frozen, sometimes putting yogurt over them, which subsequently freezes it and makes it like eating ice cream.
