It’s cold, sweet and creamy with an incredible burst of fruit-filled, nutty, or chocolatey flavour, which is simply refreshing. Although not exactly healthy but when eaten in moderation, ice cream actually has some surprising health benefits.
According to the
OZ Blog, ice cream can help you loose weight. Who would have thought?
“If you avoid ice cream because you don’t want to gain weight, this might just change your mind: A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that women who ate at least one daily serving of full-fat dairy products, such as ice cream, gained less weight than those who didn’t. Now, that doesn’t mean you can sit down with a tub of ice cream every night and expect to lose weight. But a half-cup serving of vanilla or chocolate ice cream – which has about 140 calories, 7g fat and 14g sugar – can be a reasonable part of your diet.”
Making your own ice cream maximises its weight-loss benefits because it gives you full control of what goes into your ice cream; there are a lot of additives added to store-bought ice cream to help preserve the creamy texture. Making your ice cream will enable you play with flavours of your choice; who says you can’t have orange-coffee flavoured ice cream, or whatever flavour of your choice?
The ingredients for making your ice cream right at home are easy to use and find. Let’s get right down to the recipe (
