Healthy Ice Cream Recipes
It is difficult to find anyone who doesn’t like ice cream. In fact,
in many households, ice cream is considered to be a staple, and the
freezer is never without at least one carton of this all time favorite.
Concerns about health, however, dictate that we become more conscious of
our cholesterol and sugar intake. Therefore, many manufacturers and
processors are coming up with delicious alternatives to traditional ice
cream recipes. This doesn’t mean that we should consider giving up the
pleasure of making ice cram at home. Just a few minor adjustments can
assure that you can continue to enjoy delicious, mouth watering ice
cream made right in your own kitchen without the guilt of jeopardizing
your family’s health or disobeying doctors’ orders.
A standard egg separator makes it easy for you to cut carbohydrates
and cholesterol. A delicious low carb vanilla ice cream recipe calls for
egg yolks; sugar substitute; vanilla extract; cream and water. You can
create your favorite fruit flavored low carb ice cream by simply adding
frozen fruit, such as peaches, blueberries or strawberries the same
basic recipe. Chocolate lovers don’t have to sacrifice their favorite
ice cream treat. Simply eliminating the fruit and adding low fat
chocolate shake mix and sugar free chocolate syrup yields a delicious
guilt free chocolate ice cream that could fool the most serious of
chocolate aficionados. Mint or peppermint extract, green food color and
sugar free chocolate chips turn low carb vanilla ice cream into tempting
low carb mint chocolate chip ice cream.
Healthy ice cream choices are unlimited just as the choices available
for ice cream flavors that are laden with fat and cholesterol. It’s
about time we were able to enjoy all the things we enjoy while still
maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
