To avoid brain freeze, eat cold food much more slowly so that your mouth can warm up the food. Also, try to keep the cold food in the front of your mouth. (For Spectrum Health Beat)

Gulping down a cold smoothie or giant scoop of ice cream sometimes leads to a fleeting severe headache known as “brain freeze.”

The whole purpose of eating ice cream is to eat it before it melts. That means eating it quickly.  It also means possible brain freeze.  But it's worth it.
