So, I hope you got some rain recently, because we are saying, "bye-bye" to the rainfall over the next week. Not only will it be dry, but it's going to get really hot too. We're looking at highs around 93 or 94 Wednesday through Friday, with low 90s through the upcoming weekend. But, hey, that's July! Sounds like it's time for some good ol' ice cream! July is officially ice cream month. In case you didn't know...In 1984, President Ronald Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month and the third Sunday of the month as National Ice Cream Day. If you were watching WHAS11 News Sunday evening you may have seen anchorman Joe Arnold giving me a hard time for mentioning the amount of calories in some flavors. Well, I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, a debbie downer, or a party pooper, but get ready to do some jogging in that heat if you plan to throw down some big scoops of these super high calorie flavors. Check out the six top calorie ice cream flavors, put together by Newsweek. Remember, this is just a half cup. HALF CUP! Who just eats a half cup!!... 1. Häagen-Dazs Chocolate Peanut Butter (360 calories, 24 grams of fat). Look out for nuts and chocolate: the most fattening flavors tend to be loaded with both. 2. Ben and Jerry's Chubby Hubby (330 calories, 20 grams of fat). Vanilla ice cream with fudge and peanut butter swirls, plus fudge covered peanut butter-filled pretzels. Any hubby who brings this into the house is asking for trouble. 3. Häagen-Dazs Butter Pecan (310 calories, 23 grams of fat). It's one of the most popular flavors, but the abundance of pecans also makes it one of the fattiest. 4. Sheer Bliss Pomegranate with chocolate chips (320 calories, 20 grams fat). Yes, pomegranate juice is good for you. But don't be fooled by the name: cream, milk and sugar are the first three ingredients in this decadent concoction. 5. Ben and Jerry's Vermonty Python (300 calories, 19 grams of fat). Coffee ice cream with chocolate cookie crumbs and fudge "cows." Moo. 6. Coldstone Cookie Batter (300 calories, 16 grams of fat). The cookie batter mix includes molasses and brown sugar as well as flour, adding calories along with richness. Note that the smallest "Like It" serving size is bigger than a half cup; it has 380 calories and 20 grams of fat. The "Love it" portion is a full cup. Enjoy the ice cream and don't worry too much about those calories, and just stay cool however you can. |
