<p>Today, I’m going to tell you about the healthiest ice cream and the worst ice cream!</p> <p><br></p> <p>The worst ice cream for your health is Ben & Jerry’s! It contains cream, liquid sugar, skim milk, more sugar, brown sugar, soybean oil, and tapioca flour. There are 49 carbs per serving, with 3 servings in a single pint! That’s around 35 teaspoons of sugar!</p> <p><br></p> <p>Breyers ice cream contains 21 grams of carbs and 18 grams of sugar per serving. Breyers uses high fructose corn syrup instead of cane sugar.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Breyers vanilla ice cream is a step up from the other flavors. It contains milk, cream, sugar, xanthan gum, and natural flavors. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Breyers Carb Smart ice cream is their low-carb ice cream option. It contains maltitol syrup, which can cause gastrointestinal problems. It also contains soluble corn fiber and sucralose, a chlorine-based sweetener.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Haagen-Dazs is a better option. It contains cream, skim milk, egg yolk, cane sugar, and natural flavoring with 14 teaspoons of sugar compared to 35. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Keto ice cream contains cream, water, egg yolk, erythritol, strawberries, and soluble corn fiber. One pint contains 30 grams of sugar alcohol, which can create digestive issues.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Rebel ice cream contains 0 grams of sugar per pint. It contains cream, erythritol, egg yolk, chicory root fiber, milk protein isolate, carob gum, and monk fruit. This is a good option!</p> <p><br></p> <p>Simple Truth frozen dairy dessert doesn't contain 10% milkfat, so it cannot be called ice cream. It contains inulin, allulose, maltitol, erythritol, milk protein concentrate, coconut oil, guar gum, monk fruit, and stevia. Around 30% of this dessert is fiber, and it contains 39 grams of sugar alcohol! </p> <p><br></p> <p>Don't choose an ice cream just because it says it’s keto-friendly. Check the ingredients! </p> <p><br></p> <p>The healthiest ice cream is homemade ice cream. To make a truly keto-friendly ice cream you'll use allulose as the sweetener. Honey is also a good option, but it won’t be 100% keto-friendly. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Homemade ice cream recipe:</p> <p>1 cup organic grass-fed heavy cream</p> <p>2 pasture-raised, organic egg yolks </p> <p>3 tbsp powdered allulose or 1 tbsp honey </p> <p>1 pinch of sea salt</p> <p>1 tbsp pure vanilla extract</p> <p>½ cup pecans or walnuts (optional) </p> <p><br></p> <p>Directions:</p> <p>Blend the ingredients and freeze for 4 to 5 hours. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Alternatively, you can add all ingredients to an ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Enjoy your healthy ice cream!</p>
