Low Carb Ice Cream
With summer coming on, it’s getting to be ice cream season again. If you’re watching your carbs and/or your sugar, then there are some nice selections out there for you.
Breyers does a low carb ice cream that’s very good. Unfortunately, there are only a few flavors. I’ve seen vanilla, chocolate, butter pecan, and rocky road.
There are also lots of no sugar added ice creams. These may or may not be low carb as well, so you’ll need to read the package. I’ve tried Blue Bunny and Skinny Cow and have found both to be good.
Calculating Carbs
- Note the serving size. Usually it’s for half a cup, but double-check just in case.
- Start with total carbs and subtract any fiber and sugar alcohols listed. The result is the net carbs.
Breyers is around 4 net carbs. I’ve found some Blue Bunny that’s only 3. However, some of the low /no-sugar ice creams can still be pretty high in carbs, so read the label.
Does anyone have any suggestions for other low carb desserts?
