Halo Top: This innocent ice cream is hugely popular in our ice cream aisle, boasting low sugar, low carbs, low fat, high protein and high flavor in every pint. Each pint has 240-360 calories, 24 grams of protein and only 4-5 grams of sugar. (For comparison, a pint of typical ice cream can easily contain 1,000 calories!) With stats like that, you won’t have to feel bad if you “accidentally” down the whole pint.
Artic Zero: If you love ice cream, but lactose doesn’t love you, Arctic Zero is here to help! This low-glycemic, lactose-free, GMO-free and vegetarian option is made with quality ingredients like whey protein, monk fruit, organic cane sugar and chicory root. Each pint packs in 12 grams of protein and the chocolate-dipped bars have 3 grams each. To top it off, most flavors are gluten free, and all of them are delicious!
Coconut Bliss: For a non-dairy frozen dessert that gives the real stuff a run for its money, coconut is bliss! Luna & Larry’s Organic Coconut Bliss is an amazing dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free and low-glycemic option that’s made with high-quality organic ingredients like coconut milk and sweetened with natural agave. If you haven’t tried dairy-free ice cream yet, pick up a bar or a pint today and give it a go!
Enlightened: With more protein and less sugar than your typical ice cream options, Enlightened frozen pints and bars are like no others! This low-fat, low-calorie ice cream is made with natural ingredients like monk fruit and erythritol, an all-natural, low-glycemic, zero-calorie sweetener. Plus, real skim milk and cream give it all the flavor and texture you’d expect in ice cream in a delightfully light dessert.
