As an online fitness coach, I believe in flexible dieting — about 80% of your diet coming from nutrient-dense, mostly single-ingredient foods while leaving room for foods you actually enjoy.
You don’t NEED protein ice cream to lose fat or get in shape. But if you’re trying to hit your protein goals, manage your calories and still enjoy dessert, some of these options can make that a lot easier.
The problem? Just because something says “protein” or “healthy” on the package doesn’t mean it tastes good — or that it’s worth the price.
Watch the full review to see which ice creams I’d buy again, which have the best macros, and which ones aren’t worth your money.
