Ice cream can be a refreshing source of calcium during the summer months.
But, remember to watch your portion sizes. An ice cream cone with one scoop provides about 120 milligrams of calcium and 150 milligrams of potassium. Yes, there are 195 calories and about ten grams of fat, but you can enjoy your ice cream, if you balance it with other low-fat choices. To keep calories down, enjoy ice cream in small portions. Add fresh fruit to a sundae, shake or smoothie.
