A leading Australian nutritionist has shared her guide to ‘guilt-free’ supermarket desserts – and none contain more than 100 calories per serve.
Susie Burrell analysed the nutritional value of ice creams sold in major supermarkets such as Coles and Woolworths and whittled them down to 15 low-calorie favourites.
Top picks from the Sydney dietitian include Paddle Pops and Frosty Fruits which each contain 80 calories per stick, as well as Calippos, Cyclones and Bulla Splits.
Other healthy choices included Twisted Mini Swirls at 90 calories per pot, Mighty Pops which have 80 calories each and Pine Lime Splices at just 79 calories a piece.

The diet-friendly recommendations, which have racked up hundreds of likes since they were posted to Instagram on Thursday, sparked dozens of grateful responses.
‘Love these trolley suggestions. Thanks for taking time to prepare and share,’ one woman wrote.
A second added: ‘I always have Paddle Pops in the freezer for a sweet treat.’
The tips come weeks after Susie revealed the common mistakes that could be sabotaging your diet – including mindless eating and having dinner at the wrong times.
After months of lockdown across NSW and Victoria, she said millions of Australians have developed bad eating habits such as having dinner as late as 9pm and snacking constantly while working from home.
‘If you regularly work late you will be much better to eat your largest meal at lunchtime and choose light options such as soup, white fish and salad once it gets to 7pm or 8pm or later at night,’ Susie wrote on her blog.
Because our bodies tend to burn more calories during the first half of the day, she said it’s best to load up with calories as early as possible.

Meanwhile another thing that could be hampering your weight loss efforts is mindless eating.
Susie said mindless eating can lead to consuming as much as 30 per cent of extra calories in a single day, whether it’s large portion sizes, extra serves of sauces or salad dressings or giving yourself ‘little treats’ throughout the day.
One of the best ways to get on top of your eating habits was to simply write down everything you ate and drank over a 24 hour period, she suggested.
By doing this, you’ll get a clearer insight into why your diet might not be working and whether you are eating more than you realise.
