The healthiest ice cream is one with the fewest ingredients, such as milk, cream, sugar, and flavoring. Local ice cream shops often create their products from locally sourced ingredients, which can limit intake of highly processed foods and contribute to a higher quality diet. Ice cream has a high sugar content, so moderation is key. Healthy, low-calorie ice cream pints may contain sugar alcohol, which can have adverse effects for those with digestive complications or IBS. Non-dairy ice creams are a great option for lactose or dairy-intolerant individuals or vegans, but they're not inherently healthier. Frozen yogurt may be lower in calories, but it's often packed with more added sugar than normal ice cream.
