Since I was a little girl the one sweet thing I could never say no to was ice cream. Growing up, ice cream was my weakness and honestly played a big role in why I was overweight. Although I was a competitive swimmer and burned thousands of calories every night at practice, I'd throw it all away by rewarding each and every tough practice with a huge bowl of Ben and Jerry's.
Clearly, Ben and Jerry don't really fit into the low-carb keto diet or really any diet at all - nor do most ice cream brands. Some companies may boast about being low in calories, dairy free, or gluten free, yet turn out to be a big disappointment when you turn the pint around and take a look at the label and realize the only way it'd fit into your macros is if you limited yourself to a tablespoon or two. IDK about you, but when it comes to ice cream I'm gonna eat the entire pint and throw some toppings on while I'm at it.
So how can one remain sane and in ketosis if ice cream is their one true love? Luckily, Wink Frozen Desserts understands even keto-freaks and fitness fanatics enjoy treating themselves to a big bowl of ice cream at the end of a long day. Wink is not only sugar free - it's also dairy free, nut free, egg free, entirely plant based, AND only 100 calories. "Is this real life?" - yes. Dreams do come true.
So then what's in it? How is ice cream even ice cream without sugar and some sort of milk?
"Through the use of organic stevia and monkfruit, we're able to keep Wink ice cream alternatives naturally sugar-free, making our products both diabetic and keto-friendly.
Yellow peas' mighty protein concentration allows for us to produce a creamy consistency in our desserts, without milk.All of our other ingredients are 100% plant based and non-GMO project verified allowing us to offer a clean "ice cream" alternative that is free of the top 8 most common allergens."
AKA the stuff can literally be consumed by everyone - no matter their weird allergies and diet regimes. My favorite part about Wink is how low calorie it is - I can literally add tons of toppings, put it in a smoothie, or eat 3 pints at a time if I wanna and still not feel weird or gross about it. There are 12 flavors of Wink and the company sent me 9 of them! My personal favorites are Pumpkin Spice Latte (as if I wasn't basic enough) and Strawberry Cheesecake, which you won't find pictured because I busted them open as soon as they arrived.
BOTTOM LINE - Keto and low carb doesn't mean deprivation! Thanks to companies like Wink, we can be fit while still having some fun.
