Best low calorie ice cream for your diet

First up we've selected Halo Top's gluten-free, vegetarian-friendly ice cream tub. It's 320kcal per tub! If you fancy a smaller portion, per 100ml you're looking at 2g fat (1g saturates) and 6.2g sugar. Halo Top also says this little treat has no artificial flavours, colours or sweeteners.

Whilst we love the sea salt caramel option, Halo Top has a tonne of flavours including peanut butter cup, cookies and cream, cookie dough, and strawberry cheesecake amongst others. As one of the original low-calorie ice cream brands on the market, they've certainly set themselves apart from the rest.

Customer review: "For a pretend Ice cream I’ve gone back to it again and again. It’s better than the Roar product and costs less too. Well done Halo the texture is good the threads of salted caramel is good and I enjoyed eating your product very much."

This 475ml tub of ice cream is low-calorie and delicious, containing 90kcal per 100ml.

Per 100ml this frozen dessert has 7g sugar and 3.9g fat (2.8g saturates).

Other flavours include chocolate chip cookie dough and double salted caramel.

This one's naughty and nice! Pop over to Tesco for Ben & Jerry's light ice cream, which has 125kcal per 100ml, 3.5g fat (2g saturates) and 16g sugar. It's a caramel ice cream packed with pieces of brownie and salted caramel swirls. Yum.

Sometimes simplicity is everything and that's why we love a vanilla ice cream, yogurt, custard! Here Smugglers have created not only a low-calorie option but one with hidden veg for more vitamins per scoop - vitamins A and B12 for an immune system boost.

Customer review: "We have been buying the Chocolate flavour for a few months but we just found the vanilla, and it’s so good! Kids to add some chocolate sauce on top but they’ve got no idea about the veggies. Love this brand."

Customer review: "I’ve been eating this ice cream for over a year and I love it. I brought the full fat version of this by accident and I genuinely did find this version so much tastier. I have tried several other brands low cal Salted Ice Cream too and none of them are a patch on Jude’s in my eyes. I don’t get an aftertaste, it’s smooth, it’s flavoursome and it’s very low in calories. I like it even better when it’s on offer."

For less than £4, you get 900ml of delicious light vanilla ice cream - more for your money as most low calorie ice creams come in 500ml tubs.

With 150kcal per serving, Haagen Dazs has attempted to replicate their luxury and creamy ice cream as a lighter alternative - and succeeded. This particular gelato has rich golden swirls of caramel and enough fresh cream to give it a lovely smooth texture.

Customer review: "Lower calorie treat, Haagen Daz have made this just right it is not too sweet a caramel sauce running through this ice cream. I really enjoyed this flavour, still very creamy even though only 150 calories a portion. Tried as part of a promotion and will be buying again when I've finished this tub."

Many supermarkets have attempted to make their own low calorie ice cream, and they tend to be hit or miss. This birthday cake flavour from M&S has promising reviews, made with West Country cream and sugar sprinkles. Per 100g you get 1.1g fat, 18.1g sugar, and it's 280kcal for the whole tub! M&S do other flavours too but this one seems to be favourite.
