Costco's perfectly-portioned ice cream sandwiches
While everyone loves snacking on ice cream sandwiches, grabbing one too many is much too easy. Luckily, the Mad Mini desserts guarantee to serve up the perfect portions that can win anyone over.
According to Mad Minis, a serving of one ice cream sandwich only comes with 60 calories and five grams of sugar, making them an excellent treat for anyone who needs to stick to a nutritional straight-and-narrow. You might even be able to slip in one of these treats if you stick to a keto diet, too. According to the Harvard School of Public Health, you need to eat less than 50 grams of carbs in a day to maintain ketosis, and a serving of these ice cream sandwiches contains nine carbs, meaning you could still fit one into your routine.
Whether you love a traditional ice cream sandwich or want a dessert that can do your body some favors, look no further than this latest find from Costco. Just make sure to grab a pack during your next shopping trip. No one knows how long the chain plans to carry the ice cream sandwiches, and you don't want to miss out on this sweet deal!
