Real Good Foods Ice Cream Review
Our Keto Ice Cream review found NONE of the low-carb ice creams you find in the store to be truly satisfying... Usually, you have to "chip away" at a hard mixture...
Enter REAL GOOD FOODS keto ice cream... the game-changer that will blow your mind!
We’ve been waiting for this one because we’ve tried many other competing ice cream products. I just pulled a few Real Good Foods Ice Cream pints out of the freezer.
The first thing I noticed was that the highest carb count per serving on these is 6. On most of the competing products that number is around their lowest carb count that you can find in the store! Real Good Foods lowest carb count is 4 so we think that is awesome.
We wanted this to be a real-time experience. So we’re "talking" to you as we open each one!
Tanzanian Vanilla Ice Cream
The flavor we will start with is… vanilla, to start with a more basic flavor. This one is Tanzanian vanilla.
This looks more like real vanilla ice cream than anything we’ve seen before in a low carb ice cream. It is SO creamy… this would be perfect in a root beer float (like our Low-Carb Root Beer Recipe).
Ingredients
Ingredients: Milk, Cream, Allulose (a sweetener we like - a rare sugar with no impact on blood glucose), Egg Yolk, Inulin (a great prebiotic fiber), Vanilla extract, Locust Bean Gum (to bind the ingredients together), Sea salt, and Stevia (another great sweetener).
So here we’ve got 3 servings (⅔c) per container. In one serving (⅔ cup) there are 180 calories, 15g total fat, 80mg cholesterol, 90mg sodium, 19g total carbs. But your net carbs... 1g fiber, 6g sugar, and 4g protein. So you want to be looking at sugar which would come from the lactose in the milk. Nothing alarming in these ingredients. Know that this total carb number includes allulose in the count.
Serving size - 3 servings. When Jeremy eats one of these he’ll eat a ¼ of the pint. The serving sizes Real Good Foods puts on their containers are definitely more realistic than the serving sizes you'd find on the other low-carb ice creams out there.
Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
This Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream is my favorite! Again this one from Real Good Foods is super creamy. It has a fabulous texture and lots of delicious chocolate chunks.
Ingredients
Chocolate Chips and Mint Oil are the only additional ingredients from their Vanilla ice cream and has only 5 g of sugar (again the sugar is coming from the milk lactose).
Ingredients: Milk, Cream, Allulose, Stracciatella (Sugar-free chocolate chips [unsweetened chocolate; erythritol, inulin, dietary fiber (resistant dextrin), cocoa butter, soy lecithin, natural flavor(s); steviol glycosides (stevia extract) sweetener; whole milk powder; natural vanilla extract] Coconut Oil), Egg yolk, Inulin, Locust Bean, Mint Oil, Stevia.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Jeremy’s favorite is peanut butter chocolate chip ice cream, so that’s the second one he chose to review.
Per serving there’s only 4g of Sugars. This gain coming from the milk lactose in Real Good Foods’ Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip ice cream. And this one has the most ingredients and the most carbs of all the ones we’re testing out right now.
Ingredients
Ingredients: Milk, Cream, Allulose, Coffee Extract, Stracciatella (Sugar-free chocolate chips [unsweetened chocolate; erythritol, inulin, dietary fiber (resistant dextrin), cocoa butter, soy lecithin, natural flavor(s); steviol glycosides (stevia extract) sweetener; whole milk powder; natural vanilla extract] Coconut Oil), Egg yolk, Cocoa Powder, Inulin, Locust Bean Gum, Stevia.
The Competition
We are comparing these to Rebel, Enlighten, Halo Top, or one of the other keto ice creams out in the market right now. We've tasted the greater majority of these other ice creams. The competitors' ice creams all have an aftertaste that lasts within the first 3-4 bites.... not very appetizing. None of the Real Good Foods Ice Creams have an aftertaste which is one of the reasons why we're loving it so much.
Texture
RGF ice creams melt as regular ice cream would. The competitors can be set out of the freezer for QUITE a while and will still not get soft or turn into that nice melty texture. They’re more… "icy" if you will. So Real Good Foods ice creams are great for those of you out there that love certain textures as we do.
Cost
These products do cost a little more than what you find out on the freezer shelves right now. Real Good Foods uses better quality ingredients that will of course cost more. So that's not a problem for us.
Think about this: if you go out to one of the ice cream shops or parlors with your family or a friend you’d be spending $5-6 per person. Yea that's expensive for one trip, but we're talking about one of these pints lasting you 3-4 servings! Better ingredients, better quality, and better taste. All worth the extra dollar!
Moderation
We WANT you to enjoy the keto sweets you consume (otherwise why eat them?). But we still encourage you to eat keto desserts in moderation. Too much of any keto desserts (even all our awesome sweets recipes you can find HERE ) will throw off your efforts.
