Gluten Free Reasons - Cold Stone

         Sweet treats can provide you with a sweet escape but what happens when desserts go wrong? Take a look at the Cold Stone Creamery's Brownie a La Cold Stone. A decadent dessert featuring vanilla ice cream, caramel, hot fudge and whipped cream all on top of a brownie. Once you get pasted the wow factor your left with a dessert packing 810 calories. Your 810 calories will get you 75 grams of sugar or roughly 19 teaspoons of sugar (talk about a sugar rush). If the sugar doesn't get to you the fat will. Your dessert will also includes 55 grams of fat, 40 of those being saturated fat. You'll find more saturated fat in this dessert than in 1 cup of mayonnaise (David Zinczenko and Matt Goulding, Eat This Not That! 2012, New York: Rodale Inc., 2011. Print). Opt out of this sweet treat and treat yourself to a much healthier dessert.
