I'd like to discuss the absolute worst ice cream you can eat and the best ice cream that you can eat and yes there are certain ice creams that are healthy and I'm going to share a great recipe with you at the end of this video I think I would be an expert in ice cream since I used to eat a lot of ice cream I remember for one year I ate one pint of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream every single night to be able to sleep because I had insomnia really bad and I notice when
I consume Ben and& Jerry's put me to sleep little did I know that was called a sugar coma so let's start out with the worst taste scenario type ice cream Ben and Jerry's so if you look at the ingredients for dent Ben and& Jerry's it has cream it has liquid sugar skin milk more sugar brown sugar soybean oil and of course don't forget the tapioca flour which by the way they use for a filler and it's not even sweet now what's interesting about bending Jerry's ice cream is that per serving size there's four 49 G
of carbohydrate so 49 * 3 = 147 g of carbohydrate and so some of that starch turns into sugar so what we're really dealing with is about 35 and A4 teaspoons of sugar in the Ben and& Jerry's pint of ice cream so take a look at how much sugar that's in there all right let's come up the list to Briar when serving size is 21 G of carbs 18 g of sugar but there's four serving sizes so if you multiply 21 * 4 we get 84 G of carbohydrate but with this product we're not just
dealing with regular sugar we're dealing with high fructose corn syrup this is actually way worse than cane sugar and on top of that they're adding seed oils it's deadly this is why if you're doing high fat you must also do low carb you don't ever want to do high carb and high fat together unfortunately ice cream is usually that scenario the next type of ice cream we're going to talk about is Brier's vanilla okay just plain vanilla and it's very interesting because they only have like like four ingredients milk cream sugar a certain type of
gum kind of like a thickener and then natural flavorings okay that's it so that's obviously a major step up okay but they don't necessarily tell you if it's organic or grass-fed whatever then they have another version of Briar called carbsmart okay this is apparently their loow carb version and then they ruined it with mtol syrup it's a type of sweetener that's supposed to not raise your blood sugars that much just because something that says it's carb smart or it's low carb or it's keto friendly doesn't necessarily mean it's truly friendly to your blood sugars plus
it creates a lot of gastrointestinal problems and of course they also add the soluble corn fiber that people are saying are really good for you but there's no safety studies on them and then they have something called sucrose which is a chlorine based sugar and it's been known to create some issues with your microbiome so I would definitely stay away from that one but if I had the choice between the regular vanilla briers with the five ingredients in this one I'd probably go with the regular one I just would not consume very much now let's
talk about hagas okay this is another one that has like five different ingredients it has cream skin milk egg yolk cane sugar it has natural flavoring the amount of cane sugar is 23 g so the serving size is 2.5 which puts it only at 14 tpoon of sugar instead of 34 tpoon of sugar hogas has half the sugars that Ben and& Jerry's has now let's get into the so-called keto friendly types of ice cream so the first one I'm going to show you is this right here it's just keto I think it's a keto brand
it says it's keto friendly it only has three net carbs and the serving size is three there's a total of 16 carbs but now let's just look at the ingredients we have cream water egg yolk arrol strawberries and then of course they have the sble corn fiber as well and the thing about this one it has 10 g of sugar alcohol for one3 of this so if you were to consume this whole thing that's 30 g of sugar alcohol that's going to create digestive issues I'm glad that they don't add other types of sugar in
here so I think they ruined it with all these synthetic fibers honestly but again if we're comparing it to Ben and Jerry's it's a step up I just have to tell you a quick story I decided at one time several years ago to create makito Friendly Ice Cream and I wanted to use coconut oil as our fat and I used the best ingredients and we went back and forth and back and forth to create the best texture it's a big problem to solve I remember going to the manufactur ing company do the first run and
I ordered the wrong coconut oil it was a disaster finally got it done and we created this amazing ice cream it was literally was the best ice cream I've ever had here's the problem ice cream is Frozen it's vulnerable to heat all of the air that kept it fluffy went away and like the ice cream was like down 1/3 right here we literally put 20,000 units into the dumpster so that was my my adventure into the land of making ice cream all right now let's talk about Rebel Rebel has zero gram of sugar per pint
so what's in Rebel Cream arrol Egg Yolk chory root fiber milk protein icelet carob gum and monk fruit now those aren't bad ingredients so this would be fine to consume now let's get into this one called simple truth but this is not even ice cream though this is frozen dairy dessert and the reason they have to call it a frozen dairy dessert is because it doesn't contain at least 10% of the milk fat look at these ingredients the first one is inulin anytime you have anything as the first ingredient that's like the majority of the
product which is automatically going to raise red flags to digestive problems and then they get into allulose which I do like allulose as a sweetener then maltatal you want to stay away from that one that's going to just create bloating and gut pain then it has arrol then it has milk protein concentrate coconut oil garum monk fruit and Stevia this has 28 gram of carbohydrate it has 8 gram of fiber that's 30% of this is fiber but check this out the sugar alcohols come to 13 G time 3 as a serving size equals 39 g
of sugar alcohol you do not want to consume this whole thing in one sitting because you're going to be on the toilet okay so as you can see there's different levels of Badness with ice cream and you cannot trust uh just something that says keto friendly carb smart you have to read the ingredients I mentioned a couple that were okay but I think the best thing is to make your own there's two different versions of this okay you have the version for the person who really wants to be low carb and they want to be
truly keto friendly that recipe would be heavy cream egg yolks allulose a pinch of sea salt vanilla flavoring you can also add other things too like peans or walnuts blend it up and then you put it in the freezer for four to 5 hours and you take it out and you got your ice cream okay so that's one version there's another version I want to mention that would be involving organic cream two egg yolks add the honey in there a little pinch of sea salt pure vanilla and either put it in the ice cream maker
or put it in the blender and then you have more control of what's in your ingredients and you can have this on a special occasion so go ahead and try out the recipes tell me what you think and I will see you in the next video
