7:10 How to make ice cream
Today, I’m going to tell you about the healthiest ice cream and the worst ice cream!
The worst ice cream for your health is Ben & Jerry’s! It contains cream, liquid sugar, skim milk, more sugar, brown sugar, soybean oil, and tapioca flour. There are 49 carbs per serving, with 3 servings in a single pint! That’s around 35 teaspoons of sugar!
Breyers ice cream contains 21 grams of carbs and 18 grams of sugar per serving. Breyers uses high fructose corn syrup instead of cane sugar.
Breyers vanilla ice cream is a step up from the other flavors. It contains milk, cream, sugar, xanthan gum, and natural flavors.
Breyers Carb Smart ice cream is their low-carb ice cream option. It contains maltitol syrup, which can cause gastrointestinal problems. It also contains soluble corn fiber and sucralose, a chlorine-based sweetener.
Haagen-Dazs is a better option. It contains cream, skim milk, egg yolk, cane sugar, and natural flavoring with 14 teaspoons of sugar compared to 35.
Keto ice cream contains cream, water, egg yolk, erythritol, strawberries, and soluble corn fiber. One pint contains 30 grams of sugar alcohol, which can create digestive issues.
Rebel ice cream contains 0 grams of sugar per pint. It contains cream, erythritol, egg yolk, chicory root fiber, milk protein isolate, carob gum, and monk fruit. This is a good option!
Simple Truth frozen dairy dessert doesn't contain 10% milkfat, so it cannot be called ice cream. It contains inulin, allulose, maltitol, erythritol, milk protein concentrate, coconut oil, guar gum, monk fruit, and stevia. Around 30% of this dessert is fiber, and it contains 39 grams of sugar alcohol!
Don't choose an ice cream just because it says it’s keto-friendly. Check the ingredients!
The healthiest ice cream is homemade ice cream. To make a truly keto-friendly ice cream you'll use allulose as the sweetener. Honey is also a good option, but it won’t be 100% keto-friendly.
Homemade ice cream recipe:
1 cup organic grass-fed heavy cream
2 pasture-raised, organic egg yolks
3 tbsp powdered allulose or 1 tbsp honey
1 pinch sea salt
1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
½ cup pecans or walnuts (optional)
Directions:
Blend the ingredients and freeze for 4 to 5 hours.
Alternatively, you can add all ingredients to an ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Enjoy your healthy ice cream!

Thank you Dr Berg!
Bon Meowpetite!😺🍧
thank you fidel
Hell yeah
I take cottage cheese and blend it in a pint of ice cream so it’s high in protein and a little better for you
Isn’t there a risk of salmonella because of the raw uncooked eggs?
@@danielwood6578🌸 I can remember some chefs on TV used powder in their ice cream
It must have been either custard powder or egg powder, if you Google it, I bet you can find healthy one
I make my ice cream with frozen bananas to form ice base, another frozen fruit, then I put either healthy yogurt bought or I make it myself. Make sure there is no added sugar in that yogurt 😊
Blend and put in freezer, it will taste like ice cream , but you have to consume it in 3 days 😊
I make frozen fruit pops with fresh seasonal fruit, a splash of heavy cream, and sometimes a little honey or maple syrup. Depending on the type of fruit, I may add vanilla or lemon/lime. I zap the mixture in my Ninja smoothie maker. They’re delicious and so easy to make. I give them to my little neighbor kiddos as a treat for helping me with yard work. They are kid approved! My husband loves them too. 😊
Yes! Stick with natural sugars – not processed 🙂
❤❤❤
I slice bananas in coins, freeze them….use cream, maple flavoring and maple syrup ..put in blender, ninja ……add pecans …it tastes like butter pecan ice cream ….banana is a base for any flavor
@@kathypileggi7650 yessss, using your “nau-gen” ( it’s an old fashioned saying).
Sounds refreshing ❤
I don’t feel sad anymore, not eating ice cream .2 years now no sugar thank you Dr .Berg
🎉🎉
Wow, excellent
I just quickly saw the name of the post and I have a question. How do you begin to stop eating sugar. I have such a bad sweet tooth habit and I’m quit overweight. I know of one person that told me they don’t eat sugar.
@@representing50plus
Stop eating anything GMO! That will solve many of your health and weight problems.
Your body is starving, GMOs are referred to as Franken food, they have been stuffed with roundup and the seed itself has been ‘redesigned’ by extremly evil men!Look it up study this, corn and soy are deadly for our bodies and most everything has some sort of these two in them. Our beef and chicken most meats are fed with this stuff.
You are fat because you stay hungry and can’t resist stuffing yourself with poison!
Start reading labels, start feeding your body with nonGMO.
Wow inspiring 🥰🥰🥰
🌸 for me it’s 3 yrs for me now 🎉
So happy I came off sugar and I don’t miss it 😊
I used to get sleep the same way he did. I call it “Intermittent Fatting” I got sleep, but I also got extra blubber.
😂😂😂👍👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol 😂
Oh my gosh,LoL! 😂😂
That is hilarious!
😂😂😂😂
My go to “ice cream” is blending frozen berries with kefir. That’s all I use.
That sounds good.
Trying this next, sounds beneficial and tasty
Does the kefir make the ice cream taste similar to frozen yogurt? 💚☘️💚 I’m going to try your recipe too!
Great idea!
I’m going to try this, thanks. I’ve been blending frozen bananas and cacao powder. Cheers
Ice cream is what I miss most since going keto years ago. And geez, Ben and Jerry’s was my favorite brand for years! I’d visited the Ben and Jerry’s factory in VT in the 1990s and was given a fresh serving of Cherry Garcia. Yep, they had me hooked. Feel so much better since quitting, well, every food I love! 😂
(Yes, being depression free and slim is worth the sacrifice).
It’s very addictive. Lived on 1 a night for 2 or 3 straight years in my late 40s. Now I’m 64 5’10 173 and still pumping iron. But I’ll be honest, I bought 2 the other day and got 4 ….buy 1 get 1 free. Ate all 4 in 2 days . Still it didn’t satisfy me like it use to. That’s a good thing. Won’t buy anymore for probably another year or 2. A treat is OK sometimes… but not everyday.
I’ll go right past ice cream if there’s maple sugar candy as an alternative sweet.. it’s my kryptonite.
@@HealthyDisrespectforAuthority LOL 😂, I use honey and maple syrup in my coffee. Sometimes I just put a little maple syrup in my mouth and enjoy what comes out of a tree.
Ben and Jerry’s was bought and they changed the recipe!😊
🍒 Cherry Garcia by B&J was my favorite flavor also.Then a friend challenged me to give up my 1 pint at a time/ week habit. It took me 5 months to do it! Interestingly enough, the first time I went a month without eating it, then ate it again, I couldn’t stand the taste! I don’t know why!
Glad your ok with rebel, been able to eat that ice cream and doing keto and intermittent fasting for 2 yrs lost 50 lbs and kept it off, food actually taste better and is more satisfying doing the healthy keto diet.
If you “need” a treat of ice cream, Rebel is the way, IMHO. happy to have found it yrs ago. But, homemade is ideal for ingredient control. A little time spent and you can compliment yourself on your culinary wizardry.
All my local stores stopped carrying Rebel and I’m SO mad about it. I would buy a pint once or twice a month. Yes, I would eat the entire pint in one sitting, but I was eating it seldom enough that that wasn’t a problem.
I eat 2 pints a year and make it last 4 days per pint 😂 @@HappilyCarnivore
Wow, i was in my late 40s and ate 1 Ben and Jerry’s every night. I would buy them when you could get 2 for one and back then they were only 2.50 a pint. It was during a bad time in my life and it was my happy food. I was up to 230 lbs and wasn’t lifting weights at the time. Fast forward to now and im 64 5’10 173 and have been back to lifting 5 days a week for the last 6 years.
That’s my story too! I always said that B&J were hypocrites because they promoted social responsibility while feeding us addictive food. I want the FDA to inspect their ingredients to find the evil substance, haha! My favorite was Dastardly Mash (aptly named) which they don’t make anymore – probably was banned, lol
Awesome.
HalleluYah keep going and thanks for sharing.
What about the ice cream? Did you stop?
🌸 wow that’s amazing 🎊 🎉
So happy for you 😊
I was literally browsing through ice cream online for curbside pick up lol. Oops caught haha I never expected an ice cream video from this channel!
On the rare occasion when I just gotta have some ice cream, and can’t make my own, I go for Haagen Dazs Vanilla or Coffee only. They are the only 2 (I think Pistachio too, actually) that don’t have “natural flavors” added. Just 4 ingredients. Not organic of course, but better than anything else in the regular grocery store.
That is exactly me! I have cut way down on ice cream, but will always choose Haagen Daz over anything else, even homemade ice cream at the stands.
@@dianemackey Same here, my fav is Swiss Vanilla Almond.
Same! I’ll do the chocolate too on special occasions
I made mine with raw cream, milk, honey, sea salt and vanilla. Delicious and simple. Added a little fruit. Gonna try other stuff with the basic vanilla.
Yum!
I’ve been eating Rebel ice cream for years…glad it gets the green check mark:+) God bless~
Rebel is the best! I tried all
Of them.
People don’t be fooled by Rebel ice cream either because all it takes is a simple Google search to find out their labeling is misleading you are not supposed to subtract ALL of the sugar alcohols to figure out how many grams of carbs per serving! Only subtract half of the sugar alcohols which means for example if you get the butter pecan right on the front it says 4 G net carbs per pint that’s absolutely misinformation! Read the label and you will see when you subtract half of the sugar alcohol which is how you do it and you subtract the fiber both of those from the actual carbs it is not 4 total! Also not for nothing when the main ingredient is heavy cream saturated fat clogs your arteries I don’t care who you are so typically if a person eats this whole container or even half of it saturated fat is like 15 G which is insanely High be very careful people! Even if you ate half the container of the butter pecan flavor half of it would be 10 carbs total but the saturated fat would STILL be 16 grams! SUPER HIGH!
I stopped eating ice cream 🍦 10 years ago due to being lactose intolerant and no matter what I WILL NEVER EAT IT AGAIN. Thank you for caring for us all the way you do. BRAVO 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 Dr. Berg
I have the same problem 😩. I know I should probably just cut the dairy completely out, I went for quite awhile years ago dairy free but gradually fell off the wagon.
🌸 Similar issues, I haven’t eaten real ice cream since I was maybe 10 yrs. I just can’t tolerate dairy since I was child
It got worse in 20’s
However hard cheese is my weakness, as I crave it
If I accidentally ate cheese in anything if it’s mild or soft cheese, omg I die slowly for days
Once I was out cold at friends, they nearly called ambulance because I was in so much pain, vomiting etc
I still think I am not lactose intolerant and eat a harder cheese, fart like a man and blame it on the pet 😂
Seriously I need to stop eating dairy as my tolerance for it is getting less n less as time goes by and I nearly died last mth after accidentally eating cheese again, it slipped out of pan into my mouth somehow 🤣
I do try be careful 😅
@sunitafisher4758 I haven’t been able to drink milk since I was 8 months old. I was able to eat ice cream and cheese, but that’s about it. Funny thing is I’ve never broken any bones in my life, thank God. I know only eat cheese here and there. I’m actually happy that it worked out that way
Raw cow milk
I do tolerate lactose but I don’t eat ice cream, I see no need
I put frozen raspberries (or other berries) in the blender and mix with cream. Thats it.
Me too! Frozen berries and cream is all you need.
It works well, but sometimes I want other flavors.
You can also freeze whipping cream into cubes. Blend the cream cubes with vanilla extract and honey (optional).
Or blend cream with frozen banana slices.
Same here😋
I mix berries with yogurt and raw milk
THANK YOU! THANK YOU!😊
I gave up on ice cream 18 months ago. Really not missing it at all. Went on a healthy keto diet and have lost 44lbs. Have to stick with it. It’s my new normal.
44 lbs in 18 months? Ouch.
Way to go! Good job! 👏🏼
@@barryjames73 Very doable. I stopped eating bread/grains and drinking beer casually on the weekends and lost 25 pounds in 2 weeks, and I didn’t think I had that much to lose as I keep in pretty good shape for my age.
Salute to you 🫡 I’ve changed my diet as well along with fasting I’ve lost over 80lbs this year!
Congratulations!
I tried something different: I use a inexpensive home ice cream maker, and mix low carb protein shakes with 1/2 cup heavy cream and half the water for the shake mix ( or less) . you will need 2 servings of shake mix, some sticks to the machine, but it makes a very satisfying dessert. If I’m doing it after dinner I use a Casein protein mix like cookies and cream, and it helps me sleep through the night! Add fresh berries, nuts, whatever you like! Following Dr. Berg, in 18 months I lost 75 lbs., down to 205 and off prescription blood pressure meds I have been on for 10 YEARS! Thank you Dr Berg for your no nonsense information!
Congratulations 👍🎉
@johnheadley7650 sounds nice! Would freezing it not break the aminoacids in the protein, though?
We have a guy who makes ice cream in the area and sells it in a food truck. Best stuff I ever had and he doesn’t use any sugar. Mainly organic local heavy cream.
Any added sugar. Lactose is also a sugar.
Although there isn’t too much of it in natural dairy.
I’ll pass…..foodtruck???? Lol
@@lexseec6124 what’s wrong with that?
Then how is it sweet?
3 cups heavy cream from local grass feed cows, I pint strawberries chopped, 1/4 cup monk fruit sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla. Mix together and add to an ice cream maker, cool/blend for 20 minutes. Yum!
Strawberries should be organic. The worst pesticides are used on strawberries ! The one fruit you should not eat conventionally grown is strawberries. That’s what I read anyway. Who knows. Look it up
It’s nice that Dr.Berg told us about his venture in the ice-cream market! I REALLY appreciate when people talk about their failures or setbacks, it takes guts, transparency and maturity to do so.
In a world made of shadows, mirrors an fakeness, it’s always refreshing to see true people that talk about their real experiences (good or bad).
Thank you!
same.
I don’t think it had to be a fail, however, Perhaps just an explanation of the process on the label. I would have loved to try it. I appreciate that he tried to bring that to the people.
Hi Dr Berg!! How funny that you posted this today! I just made my own keto ice cream last night! I made condensed milk by simmering 2 cups heavy cream, 3/4 cup powered allulose and 1/8 tsp of xantham gum for 20 minutes then put in 3 tbs salted butter and refrigerated it to room temp. Then I put 11/2 cups cold heavy cream, 20 drops of pure monkfruit drops and 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract in the mixer and whipped to stiff peaks. Slowly drizzled in half of the condensed milk in as I beat it on low speed and then spooned it all into a cold glass container which I froze overnight. This morning…I had ice cream! It was creamy and delicious!!!❤ And I put a tbs of that condensed milk in my coffee! Delicious!!
Yummm! You could also use some of that thawed out for french toast! Soak your live sprouts bread in that and toss it into a pan. Mmm!
You probably burned more calories making that than you gained from eating it.
