About Ice creams, vanilla, light
Light vanilla ice cream is the reduced-fat option, reformulated to carry less butterfat than standard ice cream while keeping a creamy enough texture to pass as the real thing. It's aimed at people who want the ice cream experience with a lighter calorie load.
It largely delivers on that promise where fat is concerned. At about 180 calories per 100 grams with roughly 4.8 grams of fat, it undercuts regular ice cream's calories and cholesterol — the latter down to about 27 milligrams — and even nudges protein slightly higher, to nearly 5 grams. Sodium is around 74 milligrams.
The trade-off is in the carbohydrate. Light ice creams often add more sugar or other sweeteners to make up for the flavor and body that fat would otherwise provide, so carbohydrate here is about 29.5 grams per 100 grams with roughly 22 grams of sugar — actually higher than some full-fat versions. "Light" refers to fat, not to sugar, so it's a genuinely lighter choice on calories and fat while still being a sweet treat to enjoy in moderation.
