3. Ice Cream

This one should come as no surprise, since it's the main ingredient in milkshakes. While milk and cream, despite their fat content, have nutritional benefits, the sweeteners and other additives — like chocolate chips, toffee bits, and fudge — often stirred into ice cream pretty much eliminate any benefits we might get from a bowl of Rocky Road. Bloating, sugar crashes, and feeling full but not sated can all surface after this snack.

Luckily, healthier and healthier alternatives to ice cream are hitting grocery store shelves. Frozen yogurt isn't always much better for you, but unsweetened and naturally sweetened options can improve matters. Dairy-free options can also just masquerade as healthy, but reading ingredient lists and nutritional info can tell you which products really do have more to offer. Of course, there is nothing wrong with treating yourself to a small bowl of ice cream — but be mindful of the potential repercussions of overdoing it.
