What is this food?
Ice candy (sweet frozen treat), usually made with flavored syrup and milk/condensed milk or similar ingredients, then frozen into sticks.
Why it matters to health
Per 100 g, it has about 96 kcal and 20 g carbohydrates with 10 g sugar. It also provides fiber (3.8 g), which can help with fullness and digestion, and has small amounts of fat (1.1 g) and saturated fat (0.05 g). Sodium is low (21 mg). Since it’s a sweet treat, it’s best to enjoy it in a way that fits your daily meals and snacks—so it doesn’t crowd out more filling, nutrient-rich foods.
Healthier tips
- Keep it as a snack, not a replacement for meals—aim for 1–2 snacks a day, and balance the rest with rice/ulam/protein.
- If you’ll have ice candy, pair it with something that adds protein or fiber (e.g., a small serving of fruit plus yogurt, or a glass of milk) to help you feel satisfied.
- Watch portion size: choose smaller sticks or limit to occasional days, especially if you also drink sweet drinks.
- Try to choose versions with less added sugar when available, and avoid eating it right after a heavy meal if it makes you crave more sweets.
