National food expert reveals the nutritional value of ice creams, yogurts and snow cones . According to an analysis by national food expert Suzy Weems, of Baylor University, ice creams are "not the most nutrient-rich source, but a source."It does have calcium along with Vitamin D, Vitamin A and some of the B-vitamins to help with energy release, along with about 2.5 to 3 grams of protein - not much, but more than none," she said.
However, there's the question of whether it's worth the calories, about 145 for a half-cup of vanilla, 160 for chocolate chip, depending on the brand and richness.
Weems revealed that frozen yoghurt is pretty much the same when it comes to health value , despite carrying fewer calories, almost 117 for a half cup of vanilla, a little more calcium and protein.
"Sweetness doesn't quench your thirst, but few people are going to drink water after a snow cone," Weems added.
For those who relish the frozen treats , the snow cone contains ninety calories per ounce of syrup while the sugar-free syrup has only about 3.5 calories.
For diehard snow cone lovers, though, Weems suggested the pickle -juice cone, as sour taste triggers the craving to drink, and when the thermometer climbs, "the more you drink, the more you sweat. When sweat evaporates, you're cooler," She said.
