Very tasty low-carb/sugar-free ice cream for $3 off from normal price.
Other flavours:
Mint: https://shop.coles.com.au/a/a-nsw-metro-parramatta/product/d…
Chocolate: https://shop.coles.com.au/a/a-nsw-metro-parramatta/product/d…
This is specifically aimed at Diabetics and people on a Low Carb diet. Whilst expensive compared to regular ice-cream, this is a good discount on the normal price.
As pointed out last Deal - this is low carb.
It's not low cal due to high fat content (e.g. 50% higher than Connoisseur).
Diabetics should consult their Dr or Specialist about changes in diet.
Type 2 Diabetes is often associated with other health problems.
My specialist said no - eat other healthy foods & keep good ice cream as an occasional treat.
Um, Eating icecream is how the diabetics GOT diabetes and why the fatties are on a Low Carb diet.
Such dedication to an uninformed & disrespectful view!
Much easier than understanding this complex problem.
I mean why waste time on a quick Google when you can share such BS. But then your Username implies you don't think for yourself!
Hope your family genetics don't predispose you to weight gain (strong association).
… or type2 diabetes!
Identical twins (identical genes) studies show when one twin has type 2 diabetes, the other's risk is at most 3 in 4. Another strong generic association. https://www.diabetes.org/diabetes/genetics-diabetes
We'll see what happens to you in time…
@INFIDEL: Well, I eat correctly and go to gym.
Both my parents are unhealthy, but, even though I was brought up to be a fatty, I DID THE WORK and STOPPED EATING BS FAKE FOODS LIKE THIS and now I'm in the top 1%, probably the healthiest person here on OzBargain (that's not saying much! 😂) and ripped.
Mod: Removed Personal Attack.
Edit: Commenting on someone's username is rich, coming from you.
Thanks ! Chocolate added to the grocery shopping list to try out for the first time.
Tried Chocolate & Mint last Deal.
Wouldn't buy again based on taste & price.
If you're Diabetic - check with your Dr.
Type 2 Diabetics usually have other health issues to consider along with sugars.
Discussed this with my Specialist - she said not to bother with this. Mainly due to high fat content (50% more than Connoisseur).
Now greatly reduced intake to good tasting ice cream as an occassional treat - how ice cream used to be eaten.
What is the problem with high fat content? Adiabetics main concern should be carbohydrate intake. My dad's type 2 diabetes symptoms completely reversed by restricting carbohydrates to less than 20g a day. Fat and protein amount does not seem to have any impact.
Type2 Diabetes rarely exists without some other major health problems (comorbilities)…
So changes to improve one area may have serious consequences on other areas! So best idea is to seek advice.
(My choice to increase the intake of fat - 1 pizza, led to emergency treatment! I didn't expect that.) Others may have other conditions that may be unexpectedly affected by changes to environmental factors.
US figures suggest up to 98% of people with Type2 Diabetes have other serious health problems. As for Australia…
Pizza is generally more carbohydrate heavy that fat heavy, but I understand your point. Most people have trouble processing carbohydrates and not fats, and I am probably to quick to jump on the defence of fats as they have been demonised unfairly…
What condition causes you to have trouble digesting fat or of interest?
Carbohydrates are FINE. PROCESSED SUGARS are NOT.
NO-ONE is getting type 2 diabetes from consuming carbohydrates in vegetables.
most vegetables have low carbohydrate content, excluding root vegetables. cucumber, zucchini, pumpkin, eggplants, kale, rocket, parsley etc.
I know someone who believes their type 2 diabetes was caused by drinking apple juice daily over a long period of time
Just to offer a counter-review…
I enjoyed both of these flavours. I found the mint in particular one of the nicest mint flavours I have had of any ice-cream.
Price, I agree with. It is a fair bit more expensive than the other options there, but again, it is filling a small niche with something that is tasty
Taste, texture etc are very personal experiences, so will differ.
As do our experiences with different ice creams.
Wouldn't buy again based on taste & price
I considered the taste (it grew on me, but nothing special) did not justify the high price (sale price is almost twice the full price of Connoisseur for same quantity). It's not something I would buy as a treat.
For others it may be a welcomed change for their particular needs.
Glad you enjoyed.
Don’t recommend this at all. Had a horrible laxative effect.
Because of all the artificial sugar - aspartame, phenylalanine, etc.?
This is a niche product - keto icecream. It's high in fat (that's a good thing in my book), and the sugar alcohols used can cause laxative effect if you eat too much at once. But for what it is texture is very good and tasty - obviously not as good as full sugar icecream, but still yum YMMV.
More fat, no sugar?
Sweetner is Xylitol.
generally well tolerated, but some people experience digestive side effects when they consume too much. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/xylitol-101
Oh man, I like icecream but find most supermarket icecreams too sugary - this may be worth a try!
In my opinion it still tastes really sweet, however I tried a spoon after being zero carb for a couple months.
Chocolate was ok for me, Vanilla tasted a bit more like coconut. I am still waiting for Coles to stock the Denada Peanut Butter flavor to try.
Got the double choc, main ingredients are cream and coconut cream, so expect a coconut taste. Tastes like double choc with coconut. I like it.
Remember, the choc mint has maltitol in the chocolate chips. They are working to source better ingredients. Until then, I'll avoid it. So that makes the double choc the lowest carb.
Expensive icecream so its a sometimes treat. Cocoa is good for you too :)
475ml for $8.50 ???
