Ice cream is a fad packed with sugar and unhealthy fats, so far. It is true that the healthiest we found were the lemon or “light” popsicles, but the satisfaction was not the same as if you ate a chocolate or cookie. The industry is constantly evolving and, in our favor, they are also aware of fit interests. Being on a diet no longer prevented you from having a hamburger with barbecue sauce, thanks to the zero-sugar versions. Now the same is going to happen with these Gelatelli tub ice creams.
Sugar-free protein ice cream
Gelatelli has incorporated three varieties of high-protein, low-calorie and low-sugar ice cream. You will find cookies and cream flavors, sautéed caramel tart and chocolate cream. Although it is a novelty, it seems that it is better than expected because they have already sold out in many of the chain’s supermarkets. We must also value that it is one of the brands that has the most variety of flavor for those who want to enjoy a good sweet ice cream without having regrets.
The price of each tub is € 2.99 , so it is also a good investment without spending too much money. Doing the math, it works out the same as ordering a tub at an ice cream parlor, with less quantity and less healthy ingredients.
Low calorie ingredients
Nor can we say that ice cream is a homemade version that uses natural ingredients. But for specific occasions it is a good option that keeps us away from caloric pumps. The ingredients list for the sautéed caramel version contains:
” Thick skim milk, whipped cream, sweeteners: erythritol, steviol glycosides; 3.5% caramel, wheat flour, maltodextrin, milk protein, sugar, inulin, butter, emulsifier: mono and diglycerides of fatty acids; Stabilizers : locust bean gum, guar gum; table salt, natural flavors, raising agents: sodium carbonate; Bourbon vanilla bean powder . “
When having sweeteners as substitutes for sugar, you must be careful not to ingest too much. Many people suffer gastrointestinal problems if they consume these sweeteners in excess. If you are sensitive to erythritol or steviol, you will notice bloating or gas when you finish eating this delicious tub.
High in protein for after training
The nutritional values that are reflected below are for every 100 grams of product. Even so, the recommended dose is 50 grams and the tub contains 265 grams. That means that each complete ice cream contains about 300 calories, not bad for all the amount it contains. Keep in mind that a Ben & Jerry’s tub provides twice the calories per serving and contains added sugars.
The protein content is also noteworthy, since it provides up to 8.4 g of protein per 100 grams. Could it become your new post workout snack?
