⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better
The primary sweetener, maltitol, can cause digestive discomfort (gas, bloating) in some individuals, especially in large portions. Those monitoring blood sugar should be aware that sugar alcohols still impact glucose levels, albeit less than sugar. Tip: Start with a small portion to assess tolerance, and pair with a source of protein or fiber (like nuts) to help moderate any glycemic response.

Breyers No Sugar Added Chocolate Caramel typically uses maltitol, a sugar alcohol that provides sweetness with fewer calories and a lower glycemic impact than sucrose.

How does the texture compare to regular ice cream?
It maintains a creamy, smooth texture very similar to traditional ice cream, though some may notice a very slight cooling sensation from the maltitol.
