Any type of ice cream can be part of a healthy diet if consumed in moderation . The ice temptation contains vitamins, calcium and protein .

Dairy products in ice cream provide important vitamins and minerals, including potassium, vitamins A, D, B12 and riboflavin . By adding egg custard to ice cream, the protein content increases .

 


Half a cup of ice cream provides about 1/6 of the body's daily need for calcium .

 

The unhealthy reputation of ice cream stems mainly from the high sugar content in most species.

 


Through our own ice cream recipe, we can control the type and amount of added sugar. There are many alternatives to powdered and fine sugar - raw sugar, honey or the addition of ingredients such as fruit .

Homemade ice cream contains only what you put in it. If you make strawberry ice cream, it will contain the real fruit, not the strawberry flavor.

 


Fresh fruits will not only make the dessert healthier , but will also give it a superb taste. You can also add different nuts. Use your imagination!
