While it has no added sugar, it still contains naturally occurring sugars (7.7g per 100g) and carbohydrates, which can affect blood sugar. To enjoy mindfully, practice portion control (stick to a single scoop) and consider pairing it with a source of fiber or extra protein, like a handful of nuts or berries, to help slow sugar absorption.

The 'French' in French Vanilla doesn't refer to France, but to the classic French custard-making technique (crème anglaise) of tempering egg yolks into the base, which gives it a richer, more yellow hue and smoother texture.

FAQ
Is this ice cream keto-friendly?
No. With 20.75g of carbohydrates per 100g, it is too high in carbs for a standard ketogenic diet, even without added sugar.
What makes it 'No Sugar Added'?
It is sweetened with sugar alcohols (like maltitol) and/or high-intensity sweeteners (like sucralose or stevia) instead of sucrose, though it still contains milk sugar (lactose).
How does its protein content compare to regular ice cream?
At 4.5g per 100g, it is higher in protein than many economy ice creams (which may have 2-3g) but similar to some premium brands, thanks to its dairy content.
