Speaker 1: As the weather warms up. Are you an ice cream person?
Speaker 1: Do you like something sweet, cold and delicious after dinner
Speaker 1: or don't worry today we have you covered as we
Speaker 1: chat all things ice cream on the Nutrition Couch Hight,
Speaker 1: I'm me and I'm Secie Burrow, and as two of
Speaker 1: the Joys leading dietitians, we bring you the Nutrition Counch
Speaker 1: Product Review, a weekly chat on new products and old
Speaker 1: favorites that you can find in the supermarkets. So, Susie,
Speaker 1: it's getting a little bit warmer in Australia. Are you
Speaker 1: and ice cream lover? Is it something that you, I know,
Speaker 1: your routine these day that you like some sweethearted dinner?
Speaker 1: Is it ice cream? Is it normally just chocolate?
Speaker 2: It's an assumption earlier. I actually am not the biggest
Speaker 2: fan of ice cream. I don't not like it, but
Speaker 2: it's not something I routinely buy and serve, you know.
Speaker 2: Growing up, Coming to think of it, we always had
Speaker 2: ice cream. We always had Neapolitan and a group in
Speaker 2: a household where you know, people would eat all of
Speaker 2: the chocolate and all the strawberry and leave the vanilla
Speaker 2: in the middle. So we certainly had at home, and
Speaker 2: I remember having it quite often with Milo through it.
Speaker 2: My little boys really like it, but I don't buy
Speaker 2: it as part of the regular shop. It's more likely
Speaker 2: something a special occasion, and if I do buy it,
Speaker 2: I am quite fussy to try and get what I
Speaker 2: would describe is really good quality ice cream. But even
Speaker 2: though it's not my sort of go to food, I'm
Speaker 2: much more sort of in cakes and like you said, chocolate,
Speaker 2: My clients really like it, and I've got a lot
Speaker 2: of clients who will lop for a portion control ice cream.
Speaker 2: And let's be honest, there's a huge number of what
Speaker 2: we would call the healthier varieties or varieties that are
Speaker 2: being marketed for the health related benefits, whether they're no
Speaker 2: added sugar or lower calorie. So I think it's a
Speaker 2: really pertinent topic that I think a lot of listeners
Speaker 2: will find interesting.
Speaker 3: What about you guys. Just me and I had ice
Speaker 3: cream yet.
Speaker 1: No, she hasn't. No, No, I've been quite good, she said, yeah,
Speaker 1: like plain natural yoga. We haven't done ice cream yet.
Speaker 1: I'm just waiting for the time a family member will
Speaker 1: give it to her and I'll be like, oh, there
Speaker 1: we go.
Speaker 2: I think with little kids you can so easily freeze
Speaker 2: yoga and make like yogat pops, and it's kind of
Speaker 2: the same thing with them too, So yeah, I don't disagree.
Speaker 2: I think that with the little kids you can certainly
Speaker 2: get away with frozen yogurt before you need to give
Speaker 2: them full blown sugar ice cream. But you know, there's
Speaker 2: certainly many varieties out there, so it's good.
Speaker 3: I think we're taking a look at it this week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely. And I'm always, you know, a big fan
Speaker 1: of what I call my approach to the soul foods.
Speaker 1: You know, choose the one thing that you love the most,
Speaker 1: that gives you the most maximal satisfaction. So honestly, I'm
Speaker 1: an ice cream girl, but I wouldn't say I have
Speaker 1: it regularly. If I go out and you know, there's
Speaker 1: a beautiful Italian place, or if it's summer or at
Speaker 1: the beach we're on holidays, of course I've got an
Speaker 1: ice cream. But it's always that good qualite gelato. I'm
Speaker 1: not just going to get the plain vanilla or like
Speaker 1: a I'm not really even a Sauway person. I like it,
Speaker 1: I don't mind it, but I don't love it. You know.
Speaker 1: I'm a bet and Jerry's.
Speaker 3: Girl, I'm going to do it to it properly.
Speaker 1: So that's sort of where I lie. I love sometimes
Speaker 1: a little mini Magnum on the weekend or something like that,
Speaker 1: so I do have it, but I don't we don't
Speaker 1: really buy tubs of ice cream or anything like that.
Speaker 1: I'm more like a I like the sticks, I think
Speaker 1: because portion controlled, and I just find that if I
Speaker 1: bought a tub of ice cream, I think it would
Speaker 1: disappear very quickly in the household. So we don't tend
Speaker 1: to do too many tubs. We do the little sticks instead.
Speaker 1: It is a bit of a special treat sometimes, so
Speaker 1: we have gone with the tubs today. I think it's
Speaker 1: sort of an interesting discussion, and I've sort of tried
Speaker 1: to keep it just sort of the plane vanilla flavor,
Speaker 1: because you're right, there's so many varieties, and you've got
Speaker 1: the quote unquote healthier versions like the Halo tops, and
Speaker 1: you've got the protein based ice creams as well. Then
Speaker 1: you've got all of the delicious, wonderful flavors. So I thought,
Speaker 1: let's just start with the good old vanilla. And I'm
Speaker 1: not really a vanilla ice cream person, but I must admit,
Speaker 1: if you gave me some homemade apple pie. I would
Speaker 1: absolutely have a scoop of vanilla ice cream with that.
Speaker 1: So we've sort of gone for the ones today that
Speaker 1: I would call the quote unquote healthier alternatives. So let's
Speaker 1: have a look at the first one, which is the
Speaker 1: Peters no added sugar vanilla low fat ice cream. So
Speaker 1: this is available at Colson wll West one point to
Speaker 1: Lito Tub for eight dollars, so it's not inexpense, so
Speaker 1: like eight dollars is quite expensive. That's the full price.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it does come on sale, and a serving
Speaker 1: size of this is fifty grams, so there's twelve servings
Speaker 1: per package. But I would take a guess city that
Speaker 1: a lot of people are serving far more than fifty
Speaker 1: grams in their serving of ice cream. So looking at
Speaker 1: the ingredient list, we start off with skim milk, which
Speaker 1: would make sense because it's a low fat ice cream,
Speaker 1: followed by water and salbaitole so with sugar alcohol in there,
Speaker 1: polydextrose followed by cream, so cream is quite far down
Speaker 1: the ingredient list, so it is a lower fat product.
Speaker 1: Vegetable origin emulsifiers, vegetable gum, mineral salt, flavors, colors, and sweetener.
Speaker 1: Steviel is down the bottom there as well, so it
Speaker 1: contains milk and soy, and then may contain traces of peanuts,
Speaker 1: tree nuts, and gluten. And the milk fat in their
Speaker 1: product is two point three percent, so I wouldn't say
Speaker 1: it was a clean ingredient list. Put it that way.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things in there, but from I
Speaker 1: guess a macro perspective, or nutrient list perspective, or calorie perspective,
Speaker 1: I'm sure that this would suit a lot of people.
Speaker 1: So I think today, let's just look at the serving sizes.
Speaker 1: We should probably just go with per hundred grams, I
Speaker 1: think comparing because it'll just be easy to compare the
Speaker 1: three So per hundred grams, we've got five hundred killer
Speaker 1: jewels or one hundred and twenty calories. We've got four
Speaker 1: point seven grams of protein, two point eight grams of fats, indeed,
Speaker 1: a lower fat product, with two of that being saturated fat,
Speaker 1: mostly coming from the CREAMA assume we've got eight point
Speaker 1: one grams of carbohydrate seven point six grams of sugar,
Speaker 1: So a high sugar product with that would make sense
Speaker 1: being ice cream, you know, it's not like we're looking
Speaker 1: at something like broccoli. We are looking at ice cream, guys.
Speaker 1: So a little bit of sugar in there is normal,
Speaker 1: and fifty milligrams of sodium in there as well, so
Speaker 1: an interesting product. I mean, one hundred serves one hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty calories. It's quite low calories. It's very definitely
Speaker 1: low fat. I think that it fits the bill from
Speaker 1: a I guess quote unquote health or a lower calorie perspective.
Speaker 1: If you're an ice cream lover who was trying to
Speaker 1: lose weight. This looks good in theory, but I'm not
Speaker 1: loving the union lists.
Speaker 2: What do you think, Susie, I think it's really interesting
Speaker 2: because it screams on the label no added sugar, and
Speaker 2: then when you look at the sugars, they're not overly low,
Speaker 2: because of course dairy does have naturally occurring sugar which
Speaker 2: is lactose in it. So I just know as a
Speaker 2: reference point that some of the frozen yogurts on that
Speaker 2: you can find that have a far less processed ingredient
Speaker 2: list have similar amounts of sugars in it. So I
Speaker 2: would sort of be a bit on your team really
Speaker 2: to say it's actually still not a low sugar product,
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of kind of sweetness going through there.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of people who will be quite sensitive
Speaker 2: to sorbital polydextros is also another sugar as we've spoken about,
Speaker 2: plus a sweetener. These kind of products are very very sweet,
Speaker 2: and my concern with that is that I think it
Speaker 2: primes you to want more and more of them. So
Speaker 2: there's a perception here. It's a bit of a health
Speaker 2: halo in a way because it's masquerading as something that's
Speaker 2: got less sugar, low calorie. Yet I don't think it's
Speaker 2: necessarily going to be as satisfying as a real full
Speaker 2: fat ice cream, which has got a much richer mouth
Speaker 2: taste and feel. It's quite sweet, so it hits that
Speaker 2: spot where you potentially want more of it, and it's
Speaker 2: not low in sugar leanne like. Keep in mind the
Speaker 2: recommended in take of sugars or added sugars as twenty
Speaker 2: five grams. Now, admittedly these are more naturally occurring sugars,
Speaker 2: but it's not overly low. You know, I can find
Speaker 2: many desserts that have less than sort of seven eight
Speaker 2: grams of sugar in them, let alone. If people stick
Speaker 2: to the portion control, because I agree with you, one
Speaker 2: hundred grams of ice cream is not very much. It's
Speaker 2: two tiny scoops, So you know, I think for the
Speaker 2: price in current times where the cost of food is
Speaker 2: so expensive, this wouldn't be a product that I would
Speaker 2: point people in the direction of in the sense that
Speaker 2: I don't want them to eat more ice cream, and
Speaker 2: I certainly don't want them to pay eight dollars for
Speaker 2: thinking it's healthier when I can probably give them a
Speaker 2: frozen yogurt that's portion control, or even an ice cream
Speaker 2: on a stick that's portion control, even if it's not
Speaker 2: a technically ice cream with a lower milk fat level.
Speaker 2: So I think for me, it's a bit of a
Speaker 2: health halo this one.
Speaker 1: Definitely, And just the how big the faut is then
Speaker 1: no added sugar automatically just makes you think that that's healthier.
Speaker 1: And having said that, I mean you said one hundred grams.
Speaker 1: The serving size is fifty grams, Like you know, most
Speaker 1: people would be hard pressed to stick to the one
Speaker 1: hundred grams serving size, let alone the fifty grams that
Speaker 1: actually recommended, So I don't know, I show me any
Speaker 1: Aussie that will get twelve servings out of that pack
Speaker 1: when you're paying eight dollars for the tile, but you
Speaker 1: know it has up put it that way. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm like you. I think that it has a place
Speaker 1: for maybe for some people, but it is quite expensive
Speaker 1: and the ingredient list leaves a little bit to be desired,
Speaker 1: And yeah, I agree, I don't think it's going to
Speaker 1: have that beautiful, rich, creamy mouth full like a good
Speaker 1: quality full fat ice cream wood or for me, I'm
Speaker 1: a real texted person, which is why I love something
Speaker 1: like Ben and Jerry's or a mini magnetm with almonds
Speaker 1: in it, because it has a little bit of the
Speaker 1: texture to it. I find if I'm just eating a
Speaker 1: pure vanilla ice cream, I'm far more likely to overeat
Speaker 1: it because honestly, it's just like yogurt, but sweeter.
Speaker 2: True, and you know, the protein's not insignificant. You know,
Speaker 2: on one hundred gram served double the recommended size, you're
Speaker 2: getting close to five. So that's going to be lower
Speaker 2: than some of the ones we're looking at in a second.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I just couldn't see a place for it really,
Speaker 2: As I said, and I'm like you, I just don't
Speaker 2: think people will stick to those portions, so they're a
Speaker 2: bit irrelevant really.
Speaker 1: All right, So our second product today, SUSI, we've chosen
Speaker 1: these Streets Blue Rubon light vanilla ice cream tub and
Speaker 1: I again went with the light one because I think
Speaker 1: there's a perception I'm not saying that it's not, but
Speaker 1: there's a perception that it's a healthier product, or a
Speaker 1: lower fat or a lower calorie product. So this one
Speaker 1: is advertised, as you know, Street Seal Blue Ribbon is
Speaker 1: a very i would say sort of quite famous and
Speaker 1: popular Australian ice cream brand, and it says in the
Speaker 1: label made with real bottomilk, no artificial colors, and it's
Speaker 1: ninety seven percent fat free. So again that's a health
Speaker 1: halo I've I've ever seen one before. And let's actually
Speaker 1: look to zee if it does actually stack up. So
Speaker 1: we're going to compare via the one hundred gram column again,
Speaker 1: so that we're comparing luck to like a serving size
Speaker 1: for this one is forty five and the pack is
Speaker 1: two liters, so slightly bigger at five dollars seventy five,
Speaker 1: so a lot more cost effective than the previous Peters
Speaker 1: one war you're getting a lot more for a lot
Speaker 1: less priced dollar wise, so one hundred grams, we've got
Speaker 1: six hundred and eighty five kilo duels or one hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty four calories. We've got three point two grams
Speaker 1: of protein, two point seven grams of fat, with one
Speaker 1: point nine grams of that being saturated, so very low fat,
Speaker 1: and fifty five milligrams of sodium there. So if we
Speaker 1: look at the ingredient list, we've got dairy ingredients, which
Speaker 1: is made up of reconstituted buttermilk and all reconstituted s
Speaker 1: given milk, milk solids, and cream, followed by glucose syrup
Speaker 1: which is a sugar, followed by sugar a mulsifies, stabilizes, gelatin,
Speaker 1: flavor color one sixty B and that's it. That it
Speaker 1: says contains two percent milk fat and a minimum of
Speaker 1: sixty percent less fat than the Blue Ribbon vanilla. So
Speaker 1: Blue Ribben do a standard vanilla ice cream. Then they
Speaker 1: do this light variety which we chose into a review
Speaker 1: today as well. So again I think an interesting product, Suzie.
Speaker 1: They've made it a lot lower caloriing a lot less
Speaker 1: significantly less fat, like two point seven grams per one
Speaker 1: hundred grams is very low fat, isn't.
Speaker 3: It It is?
Speaker 2: This goes back to the original kind of light ice creams.
Speaker 2: And the thing I will say about this product is
Speaker 2: they taste pretty good. These light this light range that
Speaker 2: we really do. And I think that's important because you're
Speaker 2: if you and I are recommending a dessert product for
Speaker 2: our clients, it doesn't matter how good the ingredient list is,
Speaker 2: or how clean or how great the nutritional profile is
Speaker 2: if it doesn't taste good and if it doesn't taste
Speaker 2: like a dessert should taste. And I think the benefit
Speaker 2: of this one it's really cost effective for families at
Speaker 2: the moment. You know, that's a much more reasonable price
Speaker 2: point for two leads compared to what we were looking
Speaker 2: at with the Peters no added sugar. And sure, you
Speaker 2: know it's coming in at one hundred and fifty just
Speaker 2: over one hundred and fifty calories for one hundred grams,
Speaker 2: But the fat is really low and it tastes good,
Speaker 2: and I think you could certainly get away with a
Speaker 2: lot less or fewer calories by enjoying a little bit
Speaker 2: of this ice cream. Of course, it's got sugar in it.
Speaker 2: It's ice cream, So I sort of sit middle ground like,
Speaker 2: if I was reading it, I'd probably give it like
Speaker 2: a seven out of ten because I think it's pretty
Speaker 2: good for what it is and for the price point.
Speaker 2: For ice cream, it's never going to be low sugar,
Speaker 2: but this one is quite low in fat and tastes
Speaker 2: good for that product, and it's really simple, reallyly, and
Speaker 2: like you know, this ingredient list is pretty It's got
Speaker 2: some added sugar and two sauces, but multifier stabilizers. It's
Speaker 2: pretty innocent, really. They all put a little bit of
Speaker 2: that color in, and that color is that natural caramel color.
Speaker 3: It's to give it that.
Speaker 2: Kind of yellowy buttermilk look obviously, just looks nice in
Speaker 2: the tub when you spin it and just give it
Speaker 2: the richness. So the ingredient list for me is pretty clean.
Speaker 2: It doesn't have a lot of rubbish it for the
Speaker 2: sake of it, so I don't mind it. I would
Speaker 2: certainly buy it for my family and not be overly
Speaker 2: worried about it if I'm honest, Like, I think this
Speaker 2: actually comes in a number of different flavors, and seeing
Speaker 2: it here today, if I saw that, I'd be like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'd be happy for the boys to have that as
Speaker 2: a lighter dessert option.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 1: I think the ingredient list is better, the price point
Speaker 1: is better, and I'm like you, I must be honest,
Speaker 1: I haven't tried the peedas one, but I have tried
Speaker 1: the Streets. We definitely had this one growing up, and
Speaker 1: my mum would always buy the light variety of it.
Speaker 1: And I agree. It does have a really nice mouse
Speaker 1: feeling and it does feel like you're eating, you know,
Speaker 1: proper ice cream with the benefits that it is, you know,
Speaker 1: slightly lower and fat. So if you are someone that
Speaker 1: regularly really enjoys ice cream and you did have high
Speaker 1: cholesterol or problems with heart disease, or for whatever reason
Speaker 1: you needed to keep your fat intake quite low, maybe
Speaker 1: high fat gives you digestive problems, this would be a
Speaker 1: good product. But you know, we're not sitting here being
Speaker 1: like everybody go by it. It's amazing. It is ice
Speaker 1: cream at the end of the day, so we're well
Speaker 1: aware of that. We're not recommending it put it that way,
Speaker 1: but we are saying that it is, you know, a
Speaker 1: version of ice cream that we would recommend for our
Speaker 1: clients if they were to go out and buy ice cream.
Speaker 1: If you didn't like ice cream, I would certainly not
Speaker 1: be saying go out and buy it and enjoy it.
Speaker 1: But it is something that I would be comfortable saying
Speaker 1: to my clients that, yes, the nutrition profile, the ingredient
Speaker 1: list is pretty good when you compare it to similar
Speaker 1: ice creams, and it is quite enjoyable. It will give
Speaker 1: you that nice satisfaction afterwards compared to other types of
Speaker 1: ice creams as well.
Speaker 3: True true.
Speaker 1: And then the final product we always like to throw
Speaker 1: on a good old home brand from our favorites. So
Speaker 1: today we've got the Coal's Home Breadth, the Coals Plain
Speaker 1: Vanilla ice Cream, just the standard. Now, this is a
Speaker 1: fourleater tub, so it's significantly larger for seven dollars, so
Speaker 1: when you're looking at the price per hundred mills, it's
Speaker 1: eighteen cents per hundred meals, compared to the Streets one
Speaker 1: is twenty nine cents per hundred meals. And the Piers
Speaker 1: one is our biggest one, which I can't actually tell
Speaker 1: you because it isn't on my list.
Speaker 2: It's a lot significantly high. Our scientific analysis tells us
Speaker 2: it's a lot more.
Speaker 4: Right, So back to the Coals Vanilla ice Cream today,
Speaker 4: retails for seven dollars coals. Clearly looking at the ingredient list,
Speaker 4: so we've got frozen dessert which is made up of
Speaker 4: water liquid, sugar cream fourteen percent, and milk solids, followed
Speaker 4: by maltodextrin, which is a type of sugar, a mulsifier.
Speaker 4: Susi's favorite palm oil just stroking it's not a favorite.
Speaker 4: Some thickness, some natural flavoring, and some natural color which
Speaker 4: is keroteine with some palm oil in it. Some more
Speaker 4: palm oil for good measure, and then looking at our
Speaker 4: nutrition facts again, we will compare via the one hundred
Speaker 4: gram column today, so serving size is forty seven grams,
Speaker 4: which seems like a very random serving size to me,
Speaker 4: but it is what it is. We have seven hundred
Speaker 4: and fifty killer jewels, which is roughly one hundred and
Speaker 4: eighty calories, so the most I would say energy dense
Speaker 4: in terms of the calories compared to the three that
Speaker 4: we looked at, but only slightly higher. We've got two
Speaker 4: point one grams of protein, six point four grams of fat,
Speaker 4: was four point four of that being saturated fat, so
Speaker 4: probably the highest bat product of the three that we've
Speaker 4: compared today. Twenty eight grams of carbohydrate, with twenty one
Speaker 4: grams of that being sugar, so definitely the most the
Speaker 4: highest sugar that we've looked at today, and fifty four
Speaker 4: milligrams of sodium, which is fine. Neither here nor there
Speaker 4: looking in ice cream.
Speaker 2: Really, you know what, I've realized, there's no carbo hydrate
Speaker 2: or sugar on the streets live. We haven't looked at
Speaker 2: the sugar on it because it's not there.
Speaker 1: That's what I actually don't like about coals is that
Speaker 1: the information lists on the website are pretty bad.
Speaker 2: Let me just have a lot, because then we can compare.
Speaker 2: Because I was thinking that Coal's one looks so high
Speaker 2: in sugar, which will come to but I'm just going
Speaker 2: to check the blue ribbon. We're going to come back
Speaker 2: to that because it's not on the label.
Speaker 1: It is definitely higher in fat and definitely higher carbo
Speaker 1: hydroates and sugar, but it is you know, it's not
Speaker 1: being marketed as a lower fat product or a lower
Speaker 1: sugar product. This is just good old standard, you know.
Speaker 1: Vanila Scream put it that way.
Speaker 2: And it's a good reminder because when you read through
Speaker 2: the nutritionals, we'll see but it's not insignificant enough. Fine,
Speaker 2: I'm going to track down these blue ribbon numbers while
Speaker 2: you're talking so we can share those with the listeners
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think there's anything particularly great about
Speaker 1: this product. Don't think there's anything particularly terrible about it.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's ice cream at the end of the day.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to vilify it because it has sugar,
Speaker 1: because it has fat in it, because it should. It's
Speaker 1: ice cream. That's what ice cream is made from. There
Speaker 1: is you know, a few different types of sugars coming
Speaker 1: into play here as well, So I just think, you know,
Speaker 1: from a budgeting perspective, it's obviously our most affordable one.
Speaker 1: I actually haven't tried this, so I can't common in
Speaker 1: terms of the mouth feel, but I wouldn't I wouldn't
Speaker 1: say it was good. I wouldn't say it was bad.
Speaker 1: It's probably it's maybe mid range for me, maybe a
Speaker 1: five out of ten when it comes to other other
Speaker 1: ice creams.
Speaker 2: So as a reference, because I think that our Blue
Speaker 2: Riven Light has popped up and seem overly good because
Speaker 2: we didn't have the sugars. But I've just had a look.
Speaker 2: They're very similar to this product. So per hundred grams,
Speaker 2: they're coming in at twenty point five, which is almost
Speaker 2: identical amount of sugar to the one in the full
Speaker 2: coal with vanilla, So we're sort of given a bit
Speaker 2: of a bump stickuse. We haven't mentioned it, so we
Speaker 2: sort of said it looked okay, but tracking those down
Speaker 2: so that's a very similar amount, And so say it's
Speaker 2: like twenty calories less because of the difference in fat,
Speaker 2: So you're basically getting double amount of fat in the
Speaker 2: colds vanilla ice cream, but a very similar amount of
Speaker 2: sugar land because generally, as we know, we take a
Speaker 2: bit of fat out, they throw a bit of sugar
Speaker 2: back in, So that's sort of a pretty standard Amountain.
Speaker 2: I'm sort of here in all there as well with it,
Speaker 2: you know, I'm not like, oh, this is a stand
Speaker 2: the blue ribbon, like it's just simply lower in fat
Speaker 2: and a little bit lower in calories. But they're actually
Speaker 2: not that dissimilar. So you would argue for families, this
Speaker 2: one is much more affordable.
Speaker 1: As long as it had a nice mouthfit.
Speaker 2: And I think the take home message is, you know,
Speaker 2: you've got to consume these things in moderation. They're high
Speaker 2: sugar products, even if they're lower in fat, and in
Speaker 2: a single serve you're getting twenty grams of sugars, which
Speaker 2: is almost your entire recommended daily intake of added Admittedly
Speaker 2: some is naturally occurring from the milk, but you know,
Speaker 2: this is a treat food. This isn't something you would
Speaker 2: want to be including every day. And even the low
Speaker 2: fat one is lower and fat, but it's still got
Speaker 2: that same amount of sugar going, you know.
Speaker 1: Definitely. Yeah, let's be honest, so pretty similar as long
Speaker 1: as the mouth field would be the same. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think would be going for the coals On purely
Speaker 1: from a budgeting perspective, wouldn't we and the Calls one, and.
Speaker 3: We would argue the mouth feels probably better.
Speaker 1: Too, looking at if you're looking for a sort of
Speaker 1: Aussie made it's eighty six percent Australian ingredients in the
Speaker 1: Coals one. It just has made in Australia for the
Speaker 1: Streets one, which is very helpful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think it's just a good reminder with
Speaker 2: and because what you alluded to in the beginning of
Speaker 2: the chat was both of us don't generally buy types
Speaker 2: of ice cream, and there's a reason and that isn't
Speaker 2: there because what we know is that if it's there
Speaker 2: in the freezer at home, you'll eat it. So you
Speaker 2: might have bought ice cream for a once a week treat. Particular,
Speaker 2: if you've got the big four liter tub of coals
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden everyone's demolished it in a
Speaker 2: week or two, you've eaten huge amounts because it's there.
Speaker 2: So I'm sort of a fan of sort of discretionary
Speaker 2: foods like this, not keeping huge amounts in the house
Speaker 2: because the kids will inevitably eat it. And it's a
Speaker 2: reminder that a serve for a small child is a
Speaker 2: very small scoop. It's not loading up a bowl, you know,
Speaker 2: or add some fresh fruit to it and make it
Speaker 2: more of a complete dessert meal rather than just something
Speaker 2: that we pile on and have in large amounts. So
Speaker 2: you know, if you buy large portions of that, you
Speaker 2: will eat it. And the issue at the moment I'm
Speaker 2: noticing Leand is that the supermarkets are having a lot
Speaker 2: of sort of sales or discounting larger, larger amounts of food.
Speaker 2: So first of all, they're discounting discretionary foods enormously. It's
Speaker 2: always the fifty percent off range that you're seeing corn
Speaker 2: chips and blocks of chocolate and chocolate biscuits. You know
Speaker 2: you're not seeing a chicken breast. Oh, there's fifty percent
Speaker 2: off this week. So it's steering us towards eating more
Speaker 2: of those foods because we perceive that we're getting a bargain,
Speaker 2: and in the case of something like ice cream, particularly
Speaker 2: buying larger tubs of it because it's more cost effective.
Speaker 2: Basically it suggests.
Speaker 3: We're going to eat more.
Speaker 2: You know, if you buy your family two lead tubu
Speaker 2: leaded in a week, if you buy your family or
Speaker 2: four leader tubbu leaded in a week, because that is
Speaker 2: just the way food programming behavior goes. So just be
Speaker 2: really mindful if you are a fan of having ice
Speaker 2: cream at home, really to be really diligent with the
Speaker 2: serving sizes or know that say two leaders or four
Speaker 2: leaders needs to last your certain amount of time, otherwise
Speaker 2: you'll just end up eating more of it. And these
Speaker 2: are discretionary foods that should be consumed in moderation. It's
Speaker 2: certainly not something to.
Speaker 3: Have every day.
Speaker 2: It's like a once or twice a week thing, ideally
Speaker 2: in the portion suggested. So just be mindful that you know,
Speaker 2: even in a lower fat ice cream, you're getting twenty
Speaker 2: grams of sugar bang. And that's assuming that you're sticking
Speaker 2: to that portion control, which I think most people do not.
Speaker 1: That's so funny because that reminds me growing up obviously.
Speaker 1: You know, mom and dad were very good in over
Speaker 1: the budgeting and saving money, and we were like you.
Speaker 1: We used to have the you know, the rainbow color
Speaker 1: of the vanilla, of the chocolate, the strawberry. I think
Speaker 1: every Aussie kid, most of them, you know, did and
Speaker 1: it was always the big four leaded tub because it
Speaker 1: was cheaper and it always used to makes me laugh
Speaker 1: thinking about it now. Mum would like portion it out
Speaker 1: and they'd be like, maybe a scoop left in the
Speaker 1: big tubb or something. And my dad would be like, oh,
Speaker 1: don't put one scoop left in that huge tub and
Speaker 1: put it back in the freeze it. Don't be ridiculous,
Speaker 1: just eat it out, use it now or done. So
Speaker 1: you're right, if we buy the big tub, we're more
Speaker 1: than likely to eat the whole thing, because yeah, well,
Speaker 1: would you have a full leaded tub and put a
Speaker 1: small scoop back in it and take up all of
Speaker 1: that space in your freezer. Like what Dad says, don't
Speaker 1: be ridiculous, just eat it now.
Speaker 3: So yeah, so just be aware of that and really
Speaker 3: if you can keep it.
Speaker 2: I like with ice cream and families to have it
Speaker 2: on set days, so like every Friday or Tuesday and Friday,
Speaker 2: so everyone knows the rules. That's when we have ice cream,
Speaker 2: rather than it being a nightly Can we have dessert?
Speaker 2: Can we have ice cream? Because the again research would
Speaker 2: show you're more likely to say yes than you are no.
Speaker 2: Whereas if everyone knows you have dessert once a week
Speaker 2: or this March whenever, it's just an easier rule to
Speaker 2: stick to. And you know, talking to parents, if you've
Speaker 2: got time and you can make frozen yogurt or get
Speaker 2: those little ice cream sticks and get yogurt in there
Speaker 2: and add a little bit of maybe some chop bits
Speaker 2: or some fresh fruit and make your own. There are
Speaker 2: a million times healthier, They've got far less sugar and
Speaker 2: much healthier habits long term, and incorporating ice cream is
Speaker 2: a daily treat, particularly for small children.
Speaker 3: For thought, nice pix Lah nice picks all right.
