HEALTHY COCONUT PROTEIN ICE CREAM / BEN&JERRY'S STYLE

Unbelievable!! Here’s a delicious and healthy recipe to eat ice cream at night while watching your favourite series or movie!

As long as you like coconut you’re good haha.

This healthy coconut ice cream recipe with protein cookie dough is vegan, gluten-free, refined sugar free, dairy free and low carb!

I have always liked the classic Ben & Jerry’s Cookie Dough ice cream, who doesn’t??

So I decided to create a healthy version of the ice cream to have at home for me to snack on! The protein cookie dough is made with vegan vanilla protein powder, almond flour and some chocolate chips. Amazing!

The ice cream part is made with coconut milk and sweetener of choice, I used yacon syrup but any syrup would work!

DIABETIC DIET TIP

This healthy coconut ice cream is the perfect healthy sweet snack to have always handy! You can eat it at any time of the day, AS LONG AS your blood sugar levels are stable (not above 140 mg/dL). As a diabetic, this is a great option for when you are in the ice cream mood since it contains the necessary ingredientes to make this healthy recipe a great choice for anyone with Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes.

Since the protein cookie dough balls are sweetened with stevia from the protein powder, and the ice cream is sweetened with yacon syrup and mixed with coconut (healthy fats), the Glycemic Index (GI) on this ice cream is great and won’t certainly spike your sugar levels like any other refined ice cream out there would.
