I make a serving of ice cream every day, my ice cream recipe base: - 2 ounces heavy organic cream (36%) - 2 organic free range eggs yolks - 1 Tbsp MCT oil (will get Dr Berg’s when I run out) - 1 g pure stevia powder (comes w tiny scooper) Then add flavour of choice. Examples: - 1/4 cup strawberries (+ 1tsp lemon flavoured omega 3 oil - yum) or - 2Tbsp raw cacao + 5 sprigs fresh rosemary or 1/8th peel of organic orange (vItamin c!) - 1/2 tsp organic instant coffee + 1tsp maca etc Lots of options, no sugars. I use a nutriibullet (blends better than other small blenders) then pour into a serving dish & put in freezer.🤤
Hasn't he just successfully launched a ice cream, after a long time trying - and done vids on it? I don't recall what flavor or flavors at the moment, but chocolate seems to ring a bell. He just left tgat out of this vid because it was not his intention here to promote his own brand - it's called a combo of his and his wife's names but I don't recall the name at the moment (I just woke up). I belueve it's in stores. I do not know if it's available off his website (shipping things that must be kept frozen en route is its own kind of animal). I know it is delicious so I am TOTALLY AVOIDING BUYING IT but also it is soooooooooo easy to make keto ice creams yourself in a few flavors at least. Keto Connect has delish recioes for a few flavors. I believe it is they who have a Butter Pecan flavor that is rediculously easy and delicious which knocks my socks off. Wonder if Doc and Karen thought of Ice Berg and nixed it because of copyright issues in the name (conflict with iceberg lettuce maybe?).
@@Drberg They specify grass fed on the butter, but not the heavy cream. It also does not specify if the egg yolks come from grain and antibiotic free, pasture raised chickens. This is as close to what I would make if I were making it myself (and very yummy).
@@Drberg another problem is people would complain about the prices, common sense clean healthy food cost more. I don’t eat a lot but what I do eat now cost more, have to shop at health food store & I feel like I’m given a second chance even at my age. I do so appreciate your channel Dr. Berg. 😊❤️
Just ate some Rebel ice cream for my birthday today. It does say non GMO on it. I'm doing a dairy free challenge all of June so totally not even feeling guilty about my cookies and cream Rebel ice cream today lol!
I've been dabbling with the Keto Pint brand recently. I've been on the fence about it, but this is a good reminder to just make my own. Homemade is cheaper then these niche brands anyways.
Thanks for making such a thorough vid on the various 'keto'/LC ice creams. For sure, all those companies should be making these products from organic ingredients considering the outrageous prices they charge for a small pint of it!!
I just made my own keto ice cream. Amazed at how simple it is. Not sure why the long ingredient lists. Organic heavy whipping cream, powder non- GMO. eurytritol/monk fruit and extract. Easy -easy.
@@juniorsanchez7441 Hi. Yes, two years ago. I haven’t made any since, but it was easy. I have an ice cream maker, but saw there was a way to make with a blender. I would say about 3 cups of heavy whipping cream, to sweeten, I used a eurythrital/monk fruit sweetener. It must be powdered or your ice cream will be crunchy. Extract flavor of choice. I did not add egg to mine. I hope this helps.
I love when you asked the brands are they watching your video because you know they are I love when you tell the brands what they need to take out their products because you know they’re looking at your videos ! Awesome man !
@@kimdavis7812 I'm in the process of creating a channel with some of my Keto dishes. Hard to explain the whole process, but the ingredients are: coconut cream, eggs, olive oil, carob power, a little salt, and Stevia-all organic.
Dr. B. I just wanted to thank you for all of your free and generous quality information. It has really helped me change my life. I appreciate your time. Thank you so much.
I've been binge watching your vids the past two weeks since I stumbled on your channel -- HUGE THANKS for all your efforts to shine the light on better health! After watching several potassium and IR vids, I'd love to hear your input on the 'how long to recover' aspect for replenishing potassium stores, iron deficiency, etc. I did catch a vid where you estimate 3-8 months for IR turn-around. No doubt I've got that issue. I'm on week two of your healthy keto plan, and have lost 12 lbs. No keto flu! Your concise vids have taken me from "I hope I can stick to it this time" to "No way will I ever do that to myself again!!" (sugar/carb overload) THANK YOU!!!
i will admit to not watching the above video just yet, but let me say that i see nothing wrong with eating Rebel Ice Cream, since a pint of out generally has no more than about 5 net carbs in it....which makes it perfect for overweight ice cream lovers like me....okay, i just watched the video now, but it did not make me change my mind. now, i should mention that i dont really pay attention to things like organic or GMO. i figure that focusing on limiting my carbs keeps me busy enough without worrying about so many other factors found in food. also, each pint of the Rebel Ice Cream has 1.5 grams of hydrogenated fat, which is said to be far worse than even sugar, and so i try to never eat more than two pints of the stuff on any given day. plus i typically buy the stuff only once every two weeks or so....now i will admit that when i eat it, it does eventually give me gas, which is not pleasant at all....but to be honest, i find that i can't resist it....hard to pass it up in the market without buying a couple of pints.....which actually tells me that it may be a danger sign, because anything that addictive is probably not healthy to eat....after all, as much as i love the taste of meat, i dont feel irresistibly, uncontrollably drawn to it. i just eat as much as i need of it, and that's it. btw, same with sour cream. sour cream is a perfectly healthy thing to eat, but i find myself too drawn to it. when i started keto, i would eat three pints of the stuff per day, and before i knew it, i had gained 40 pounds in just a single month! it was terrible. well anyway since this is so long probably nobody is even reading this so there is no point on my going any further with this
My body tells me when it's had enough. Sometimes it's 100 grams sometimes it's 400 grams but the important thing is to LISTEN! If you eat until your stomach explodes you're not on a "diet".
Calories still matter on Keto, and eating gobs of fat will not be healthy or reduce body fat. Eating on Keto is just for healthy “maintenance” of the body, since we don’t need to grow up anymore.
👊 Right on. Yes, we don't feel the need to make our ingredient list uber long by saying "non-gmo" before everything. But yes, the erythritol is non-gmo as are all the ingredients.
Dr Berg Rebel 4g net carbs per pint Butter Pecan ice cream 🍨 does have on its label Natural,Non-GMO, Grain-Free, Gluten -Free also no sugar added but it does contain the Sugar Alcohol 8g per serving 2/3 cup total pint 24g and yes it contains Monk Fruit , Erythritol, Coconut 🥥 oil It states on the pint highFat., low carb and it is delicious n actually it taste like real ice cream 🍨 this one is a Winner. Oh you end up becoming addicted and yes iam still in ketos lost in 2 months 25 lbs Iam 60 years old doing intermittent fasting 1 meal a day I walk only 1 mile a day this ice cream 🍨 I have only 2 days in a week love ❤️ it
We make our own Keto ice cream with an ice cream maker with whole heavy cream, butter, egg yolks, a hand full of berries and sweetened with monkfruit. It's better than any store bought ice cream!! You can play around with the flavours too ~ lemon/lavender, chocolate/raspberry, chocolate chip mint....yummm
Thank you for posting this! I've had the Halo keto ice cream and after having some of it. My stomach started feeling weird. I will start making my very own keto ice cream.
We made an amazing discovery! In a Solo cup, fill half full with frozen berries. I prefer blueberries, but the berry mix we get with raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries is good, too. I don't like the size of the strawberry pieces, and you will see why if you try this. Fill the Solo cup half full of berries. Fill the cup the rest of the way with Heavy Whipping Cream. Mix and eat! This makes the best ice cream I have ever eaten in my life! The frozen berries like to clump together, so the mixing process is done, in part, as you are eating. The refreezing and clumping can continue. But, it is so amazingly awesome!
It's SO easy and there are SO many recipes for easy homemade ice cream on TH-cam. All you have to do is use organic cream, milk, and vanilla, and then substitute erythritol for sugar. I do like the Halo Top (which now makes actual keto ice cream) but the homemade just tastes a few months fresher. And is a lot cheaper as well.
Sometimes we just get a bit tired of meal prepping every single thing 😂 or maybe it's just me? I know it's much cheaper. I hate the misleading labeling, but ya know, someone's getting rich off "keto".
I saw a cauliflower pizza crust and bought two boxes with 2 crusts in each. When I got home I checked the carbs and it's like 24 per serving, turns out it also has flour. Bruuuh
Rebel uses high quality milk protein isolate/concentrate with virtually no lactose (1%) from Idaho cows. We do not import our MPC from China or other countries. We do not add any tapioca, sugar, wheat, etc. We only use non-GMO ingredients, including the erythritol. While we would like to have organic cream and eggs, it would make the product too expensive for the marketplace, so it's not economically feasible. Cream is already the most expensive ingredient, so we had to compromise. It's still cleaner than homemade keto ice cream, because almost all store-bought cream has carrageenan, mono/di-glycerides, polysorbate, etc. The biggest difference here is that the founders of Rebel are keto and have been for YEARS. That is why we are so strict and refuse to put in any milk. These other brands had low calorie, high-protein lines and are just chasing the trends, the $s.
We tried Rebel ice cream when we visited Florida from the U.K. a couple of months back. It was delicious and we couldn’t believe it was Keto. My wife ate tons of the stuff and still lost weight whilst on holiday!!!!! We do have some Keto ice cream brands in the U.K. but not as good as Rebel - any chance you could bring your lovely product over to the U.K.? Pretty please?
*It's reassuring to know that we can enjoy ice cream while staying true to our keto lifestyle, as long as we are mindful of the ingredients. Your guidance will undoubtedly help many keto enthusiasts make better choices when it comes to their sweet treats.*
Good video. I've been tempted by these because i miss ice cream more than anything else but I have resisted and now I'm glad that I have. Try this instead: Spoon of organic peanut butter mixed into a spoon of grass fed butter mixed with some chopped organic pecans. Put it in the fridge to get it cold. Its a great substitute for ice cream and completely organic. Lots of calories -- keep the portion small. Easy to do because you can't eat peanut butter quickly.
I eat Rebel and Enlightened a few times a month. It doesn't bother my stomach and I eat it so rarely, I just don't worry enough about it, but thanks for making this video, it's informative. I also am not on the train with eating a lot of the extra fats; I just don't see how eating so much fat can help. Healthy fats, like avocado and olive oil I can understand, but not trimming fat from meat and such, adding extra fats to things... that doesn't seem healthy and I wasn't doing it before keto, so I can't change it now. Hopefully, more keto products will start doing more research into what is really keto and changing, because it IS nice to be able to just pick something up from the store, sometimes, instead of having to make literally everything.
Thank you for making this! I found the keto pint ice cream bars and loved them. But I could tell something was off because I wasn’t dropping weight anymore AND I was feeling kind of addicted to them. I couldn’t have just one. I stopped after the first box (which took me about a week to eat). I figured it might be great once every couple of months as a treat. Just like I only have birch benders pancakes every couple weeks. But it felt like I had almost gotten off of keto when I was eating those. (Delicious though!)
That's the word, Keto Ice cream is "addictive". With me the problem was (is) with the pints, its always at east one pint, sometimes two. But as I said elsewhere it has not effected my weight lost so far.
I just brought Chompies today; its ingredient list looked like it fit the bill. I'm assuming it's refrigerated because it doesn't have all the preservatives in it.
@@tielde8199 vital wheat gluten is all protein and no grain. Educate yourself on this, it is clean as long as its organic and don't have celiac disease.
Dr B keeping it real. I will admit stopped the video and went and ate some ice cream in case I wouldn’t be able to after watching the video. The brand I buy is not on this list but I’ll have to check the ingredients now.
Omg how did I miss this video that been out for a year. Two of those are my weekend favs, well were before I just invested in an ice cream maker. Not because I knew about any of this but because they’re pricey. Now I can mix my own healthy ingredients.
Maybe my logic is flawed but why not occasionally...once per quarter perhaps...have some of your favourite regular high fat ice cream. Not too much. Then plan on a nice longer intermittent fast of twenty-four to thirty-six hours. Autophagy will be kicked in to deal with any AGE's accumulated and other irritants. Yes you'll be out of keto for a bit but if you've been doing it long enough you'll get back in in no time. It's summer, people. A little ice cream is mandatory!
What a timely video. I just ate a pint of Enlightened last night for the first time. I was pretty excited to taste ice cream again after some years. Guess I need to go find one of your alternative ice cream recipes.
Thank you for this!!! So many products are now cashing in on the Keto label and they aren’t true Keto and many contain ingredients that aren’t Keto at all!!!
Seriously! At Costco the other day I couldn't find a "Keto" labeled product with less than 11-15 grams of net carbs per serving. Plus they were selling "keto" granola with rolled oats, I wish! It was so disappointing. I'm getting a bit tired of the daily meal prep, I wanted a few convenience items. I guess it's similar to the low fat craze in the 80's and 90's where they just replaced fat with more sugar (Snack Wells comes to mind as a terrible "diet" food). They may be lower carb like quinoa or whole grains compared to the refined carbs like white flour and white rice, but still to high in carbs to actually work with my lifestyle.
Pretty much. There's a point where something is so denatured due to substituting ingredients, that you might as well say goodbye to it from your life. I've said goodbye to a hundred different foods that I love this year. I know they just can't be part of my life anymore - otherwise I won't have my life for very long!
Ice Cream Keto friendly recipe: Whip cream with a little monk fruit or stevia, add a little vanilla and berries. Mix, freeze. FINISHED. You can also add a couple of pieces of 85% Lindt Chocolate melted and cooled down. Put in freezer = Chocolate Ice cream. Easy, honest, KETO.. taddaaaah
people check out Joe Duffs mason jar keto ice cream recipe series and make ur own icecream. that way you can make sure to have good quality by buying high quality (organic) incredient...
You are THE BEST OF BEST Dr. Berg, no one in a world can compete with your knowledge. Wonderful job on reviewing these products I hope they listen and make the appropriate healthy changes.
I contacted Rebel Creamery and they assured me that the Milk Protein Isolate they use is from Idaho cows near their headquarters. They appear to be concerned about the quality of their product.
Thanks for contacting us and spreading the word. :) We definitely don't look for the cheapest ingredients! The only issue that doesn't meet his list is organic cream and eggs. I wish we could, but it would triple the cost of the pint and nobody would buy it. Some compromise is necessary in life for the occasional treat! At least IMO. :)
Wow ! I just learned alot about Keto ice creams . I was gonna buy rebel and Halo, also was gonna try the Almond breeze ice cream bites but that too had so many artificial stuff in it . Thank you Dr.!
Honestly, Ice cream is the only thing I miss but I don't refuse to substitute and willingly do without. I'm 100lbs down and 3 years without the junk. Plants and animal protein only for LIFE!
Seems like the best Keto ice creams are the ones you make at home yourself. Plenty of recipes out there. Mason jar Keto ice cream. Currently my local grocery chain seems to be having trouble stocking organic heavy cream.
Honestly speaking those brands selling small pints with higher prices between $5 to $8 comparing to the other ice cream makers like Breyers or Dreyer's. If they are not using organic, then what would be cost? Probably less than $1
As u said it's low carb and sugar and way better then regular ice cream the key here is its a treat eating the whole pint no matter what the ingredients will blow and be bad on keto...a small amount of these ice creams in moderation isn't bad.....thanks for the info as Always berg
I did ice cream/ice candy avocado.1big avocado, coconut cream, heavy cream,little insulin / stevia,whipped raw egg yolk to steamer,salt. Combine all together
I fell for Halo top, tasted like plastic, very questionable ingredients in the other brands too. I just make mason jar ice cream now. Thank you for sharing this important information with us all. Take care and stay safe too everybody. 🍦🍧😷♥️🙂🐶
Enlightened makes a great keto collection. I did an ice cream fast using it and it was pretty interesting. If U can live without it, that's awesome though
@@MarydToKeto Yes people still forget all of our bodies operate differently. I ate a pint of Rebel ice cream every day for a week (for science) without a single detriment.
Yes, I said goodbye to it. It keeps you in the headspace of wanting sweet treats, which leads to cutting corners and making compromises in other ways. It's safer and easier to just leave some things behind.
I've been making a very satisfying eggnog that taste like ice cream using a can of full fat cc milk, a can measure of almond milk (though macadamia would be healthier), and 1.5-2 can measures of organic heavy cream, 10 eggs (8 if really large), about 1Tbsp vanilla, about 1/4c powdered or liquid mixed sweetener (erythritol, monkfruit, stevia [glycerate my fave]). My favorite use is about a cup with my green drink mix I made (that is hideous, but I have enough forever). It makes it pleasant enough and fills my 20oz glass. I suppose I could add some xathum gum for thickening and an ounce of vodka so it doesnt ice up and make ice cream w it.
I was literally searching for keto ice cream yesterday and wondering about it. I've seen a lot of similar comments so im pretty convinced dr.berg has an ability to read the minds of his subscribers 😸😹
Dr Berg, its not labeled as Keto but my go to is So Delicious Coconut milk Vanilla bean. Its non GMO, no sugar added and uses organic coconut milk. Do you see anything wrong with the ingredients in it?
Wow.. That was helpful, I haven’t had Ice cream for a year now, and I was thinking of trying the keto store bought kind.. Nope not now, I think I will try to make my own ice cream.. Thank you...
I have been a fan of Dr. Berg for awhile now and I do enjoy his healthy lifestyles advice and recommendations however I do become a little skeptical about the whole organic thing. Just because in this video he mentioned not knowing about foods organic status so my thing is how do we know its organic? We weren't there when it was harvested or even seen the care and maintenance of the food so we have to take their word for it? I strongly believe I won't know that it's organic unless I planted, grown, and harvested it myself. So I believe we're pretty much taking a chance either way. Sorry. Don't get me wrong I am still going to continue my healthy weight loss "ketolike" journey because I've seen major results and I feel great even if I don't always eat organically. IJS.
2 years ago going Keto...I have totally lost my taste for sweet, especially crap with the artificial ingredients, sweeteners, erythritol, or any other crap. One big nutrient dense salad meal a day...no keto bombs, no snacks! My health has never been better at age 66! Also lost 22 lbs & am at my ideal weight. Thank you Dr. Berg!
Thanks Dr. Berg, I watch and enjoy all your videos. I went keto during Ramadan and still going afterwards. Along with IF. I am supplementing daily with D3, Zinc, C and Fish Oil. I feel my brain is thanking me for these choices! No more foggy brain, way less bloating and overall feeling of well-being. When I miss some carbs I make sure to have them with slow digesting food, while keeping my carb intake overall lower than I used to consume. Best regards from Algeria.
I was 2secs away from pressing check out! Thank god! I searched for a review on Keto Ice cream. I’ve been on clean keto diet for 2months , I don’t want anything to ruined what I’ve achieved. I guess I’m just gonna have to wait for the rest of the year to end before I could it ice cream again. 😕
It's as simple as this. If you have underlying health problems which is why you're using keto, then don't touch any keto processed product. Make it yourself or do without. Dairy products, even cream, cheese and butter are inflammatory in a lot of people. Only very few can get away with sugar, sugar alcohol, milk etc in low quantities.
Thank you so much, I love ice cream and I am disappointed by these fake keto products. I made avocado pistachio ice cream without the red flag items you highlighted and it was wonderful.👍
sorry, but this one i dont really agree with . to me the bottom line is how much protein and net carbs that any product has, and in that regard, Rebel Ice Cream is perfectly okay to eat
Hi from Italy Dr. Berg! I don't understand why there are so many videos and recipes for keto desserts and ice creams. For me, after almost 4 years of keto + IF, all sweet-tasting foods and beverages are disgusting, and that includes all keto sweeteners and the majority of the toothpastes that are available on the market. Maybe keto desserts are meant to help those who are just starting this diet
Make your own keto ice cream. Very easy to do. Can even do it in a mason jar. Make sure you add 1 tablespoon of vodka. That keeps the ice cream from freezing rock solid. If you don't add the vodka you will need to leave it out for 10 minutes before eating.
You tell em doc😂😘 I've never heard of those brands. I eat Breyer's low carb until today. I just saw a great strawberry keto ice cream mason jar recipe that I will use from now on
The BEST way to insure an all natural product is to use only organic products certified by a reputable certification agency (do your homework to find one that is certifying products in your area) and make YOUR OWN ice cream. At 50+ dollars per gallon cost for the store bought brands of "Keto friendly" , it wont' take you very long to recoup your investment on a good ice cream machine . Get one that does not require ice ie: models that have a compressor. Try to get one that has at least a 4 quart capacity if you are making ice cream for a family. For one person a 1.5 qt should be fine. Keep in mind that "keto friendly" does not mean calorie friendly. The cream in ice cream is very caloric. 820 calories per cup for heavy cream and 470 calories per cup for light cream. From my experience, the only way I have ever been able to get into ketosis, was to eat only green veggies, protein from meats and essential oils from flaxseed and avocado oils. ANY kind of processed "keto friendly" anything, knocked me right out of ketosis. ZERO SUGAR and carbs (from veggies only) below 50 grams is essential to get into ketosis. Once you are in you can up the veggie carbs to 80 , even 100 grams. That's a LOT of veggies. Even 50 grams is a LOT! Also very important is to take a HIGH QUALITY vitamin supplement made from "whole foods". Not the crap you buy from the supermarket. This high quality stuff can only be bought from a health food store. Do your homework. I don't want to suggest my recommendations because I don't want anyone to think I'm saying this to push a product. I have no affiliations with any products.
This is why I just bought an ice cream maker so I can control the ingredients. I started using all organic, grass fed (and finished when possible) dairy and eggs.
Wow!! I needed this information a long time ago. I’m glad I just finished my last purchase. I love the peanut butter chocolate Enlighten bars! Well, I did 😕. Thanks again for setting me on the straight and narrow.
One reason I bet these companies don't go all organic is the cost. These ice creams are already pretty expensive the way they are. The only time I buy any of them is when they are on sale. I can't imagine what the prices would be if all the ingredients were organic too. Oh, and Halo Top now has several flavors of keto specific ice cream.
yep thats why ability to read labels is important. Doctor one more video please on reading between the lines for product labels. Since a lot of confusing things are written which we can easily misread and buy wrong items. Please consider one more discrete video for understanding labels in its real sense. Also if we are unsure of some ingredient, how can we assess it and make a decision on the fly while in a store. Thanks doctor.
When I want ice cream, I take a ball Jar, fill it half way with heavy cream, put a teaspoon of vanilla, and stevia to taste, get my hand mixer out and only use one side to whip the cram until it's really thick. Put that in the freezer for three hours and there it is, keto ice cream.... with only three ingredients and you put them in there. You don't get more fresh than that.
Here's the deal for me...I believe in not allowing the perfect to be the enemy of the good and I do good keto and don't give a damn about doing perfect keto. I've lost 50 pounds in the past year, 35 of them on keto and those rid me of my abdominal fat. My blood work has shown that my severe fatty liver has greatly improved, my triglycerate/HDL ration is .74 and my HOMA-IR is 0.4. My ALS/ALT ratio from my liver panel is 1.2 and over 1 indicates there is no insulin resistance. So I'm satisfied with how I do keto and refuse to beat myself up by trying to do it perfectly and following a boatload of rules. I prefer to enjoy my success and enjoy how I eat, as keto imperfect as it may be.
I make a serving of ice cream every day, my ice cream recipe base:
- 2 ounces heavy organic cream (36%)
- 2 organic free range eggs yolks
- 1 Tbsp MCT oil (will get Dr Berg’s when I run out)
- 1 g pure stevia powder (comes w tiny scooper)
Then add flavour of choice.
Examples:
- 1/4 cup strawberries (+ 1tsp lemon flavoured omega 3 oil - yum) or
- 2Tbsp raw cacao + 5 sprigs fresh rosemary or 1/8th peel of organic orange (vItamin c!)
- 1/2 tsp organic instant coffee + 1tsp maca etc
Lots of options, no sugars. I use a nutriibullet (blends better than other small blenders) then pour into a serving dish & put in freezer.🤤
thanks
Was just wondering why Dr Berg did like it, maybe not so keto friendly
Thanks for the ice cream recipe. Any recipes for getting a date?
Are those egg yolks raw? Or are you cooking them? Wondering due to the bacteria.
Wonderful recipe 🥰
C'mon Doc. You know you want to. Launch an ice cream, I'll eat it. You got this. "Ice Berg". You can have that one. I'll take a case of mint chip ;).
Chad Trombley Chad, that’s a riot! Ice Berg, good one! And yes please to Mint Chip.
Me too. Also put be down for butter pecan. 🤗

I will NEVER buy any of those brands ever again! Thanks for the video Dr.
Mammoth Creameries. Vanilla Ingredients: heavy cream, grass-fed butter, xylitol, egg yolks, natural vanilla extract, vanilla bean seeds, pink himalayan salt.
The ONLY question is about the heavy cream is it either grass fed or organic?
@@Drberg sadly organic things are not available in my country... What should i do ?!
@@s62090 eat non organic but seek organic as much as possible...
@@Drberg They specify grass fed on the butter, but not the heavy cream. It also does not specify if the egg yolks come from grain and antibiotic free, pasture raised chickens. This is as close to what I would make if I were making it myself (and very yummy).
@@Drberg good luck finding everything "organic".
You coming out with a keto friendly food line with all "dr. berg approved" ingredients would be great!!!🤗
Its a lot of work, too much for me. I think I will just give you the recipe
@@Drberg I'd pay for those food products too
@@Drberg Please do :). I would love that!
Looks like he is doing so and creating an ice cream line :)
@@Drberg another problem is people would complain about the prices, common sense clean healthy food cost more. I don’t eat a lot but what I do eat now cost more, have to shop at health food store & I feel like I’m given a second chance even at my age. I do so appreciate your channel Dr. Berg. 😊❤️
Just ate some Rebel ice cream for my birthday today. It does say non GMO on it. I'm doing a dairy free challenge all of June so totally not even feeling guilty about my cookies and cream Rebel ice cream today lol!

It still has dairy. It’s lactose free to digest it better.

Love how you're breaking down the video into chapters, Dr. Berg! Thanks so much! We all really appreciate it. 👏🏼
Thanks for making such a thorough vid on the various 'keto'/LC ice creams. For sure, all those companies should be making these products from organic ingredients considering the outrageous prices they charge for a small pint of it!!
Ice cream, peanut butter, most fat bombs, I CANNOT just have a small amount. Gotta pass on all.
I'll eat a large jar of peanut butter in a few days....
I just made my own keto ice cream. Amazed at how simple it is. Not sure why the long ingredient lists. Organic heavy whipping cream, powder non- GMO. eurytritol/monk fruit and extract. Easy -easy.
Can you elaborate on this please? Sorry i know its 2 years later lol
@@juniorsanchez7441 Hi. Yes, two years ago. I haven’t made any since, but it was easy. I have an ice cream maker, but saw there was a way to make with a blender. I would say about 3 cups of heavy whipping cream, to sweeten, I used a eurythrital/monk fruit sweetener. It must be powdered or your ice cream will be crunchy. Extract flavor of choice. I did not add egg to mine.
I hope this helps.
I love when you asked the brands are they watching your video because you know they are I love when you tell the brands what they need to take out their products because you know they’re looking at your videos ! Awesome man !
I've been making my own "Keto Ice cream" for a while. That's the way to go.
Captain Everyman 👍 care to share your recipe ? 😊
is it okay for you to share it, thanks
@@kimdavis7812 I'm in the process of creating a channel with some of my Keto dishes. Hard to explain the whole process, but the ingredients are: coconut cream, eggs, olive oil, carob power, a little salt, and Stevia-all organic.
@@bubbletea5097 of course.
@@captaineveryman6589 Looking forward to when you post this recipe
Dr. B. I just wanted to thank you for all of your free and generous quality information. It has really helped me change my life. I appreciate your time. Thank you so much.
I've been binge watching your vids the past two weeks since I stumbled on your channel -- HUGE THANKS for all your efforts to shine the light on better health! After watching several potassium and IR vids, I'd love to hear your input on the 'how long to recover' aspect for replenishing potassium stores, iron deficiency, etc. I did catch a vid where you estimate 3-8 months for IR turn-around. No doubt I've got that issue. I'm on week two of your healthy keto plan, and have lost 12 lbs. No keto flu! Your concise vids have taken me from "I hope I can stick to it this time" to "No way will I ever do that to myself again!!" (sugar/carb overload) THANK YOU!!!
i will admit to not watching the above video just yet, but let me say that i see nothing wrong with eating Rebel Ice Cream, since a pint of out generally has no more than about 5 net carbs in it....which makes it perfect for overweight ice cream lovers like me....okay, i just watched the video now, but it did not make me change my mind. now, i should mention that i dont really pay attention to things like organic or GMO. i figure that focusing on limiting my carbs keeps me busy enough without worrying about so many other factors found in food. also, each pint of the Rebel Ice Cream has 1.5 grams of hydrogenated fat, which is said to be far worse than even sugar, and so i try to never eat more than two pints of the stuff on any given day. plus i typically buy the stuff only once every two weeks or so....now i will admit that when i eat it, it does eventually give me gas, which is not pleasant at all....but to be honest, i find that i can't resist it....hard to pass it up in the market without buying a couple of pints.....which actually tells me that it may be a danger sign, because anything that addictive is probably not healthy to eat....after all, as much as i love the taste of meat, i dont feel irresistibly, uncontrollably drawn to it. i just eat as much as i need of it, and that's it. btw, same with sour cream. sour cream is a perfectly healthy thing to eat, but i find myself too drawn to it. when i started keto, i would eat three pints of the stuff per day, and before i knew it, i had gained 40 pounds in just a single month! it was terrible. well anyway since this is so long probably nobody is even reading this so there is no point on my going any further with this
Well done dr berg I agree with your comments on point
Well dang I was watching this as I ate my rebel thinking my life was complete thanks a lot dr. Berg
Many people are having too much fat on KETO as well...these “Keto” treats are a disaster for most of us on Keto. Not a popular opinion.
You could probably have More fat if you've already reached your weight loss goals And you're not gaining weight from it.
My body tells me when it's had enough. Sometimes it's 100 grams sometimes it's 400 grams but the important thing is to LISTEN! If you eat until your stomach explodes you're not on a "diet".
@@RkicF8 It's interesting. Milk is not Keto (understandably) but it is also what is wrong about Paleo as grass-fed whole milk is incredibly healthy.
RkicF8 I make homemade cheese.
Calories still matter on Keto, and eating gobs of fat will not be healthy or reduce body fat. Eating on Keto is just for healthy “maintenance” of the body, since we don’t need to grow up anymore.
On the back of my Rebel ice cream it says Non-GMO, Grain Free and Gluten Free.
👊 Right on. Yes, we don't feel the need to make our ingredient list uber long by saying "non-gmo" before everything. But yes, the erythritol is non-gmo as are all the ingredients.
@@rebelcreamery is this the real company? I love the butter pecan. With you were in more stores tho
Rebel Creamery Ayyyy, Badass hahaha
Dr Berg Rebel 4g net carbs per pint Butter Pecan ice cream 🍨 does have on its label Natural,Non-GMO, Grain-Free, Gluten -Free also no sugar added but it does contain the Sugar Alcohol 8g per serving 2/3 cup total pint 24g and yes it contains Monk Fruit , Erythritol, Coconut 🥥 oil It states on the pint highFat., low carb and it is delicious n actually it taste like real ice cream 🍨 this one is a Winner. Oh you end up becoming addicted and yes iam still in ketos lost in 2 months 25 lbs Iam 60 years old doing intermittent fasting 1 meal a day I walk only 1 mile a day this ice cream 🍨 I have only 2 days in a week love ❤️ it
@@rebelcreamery go grass fed organic and we are set, yeah?
Thanks Dr. Berg. I’ll wait for the ice cream recipe from you and Karen 😃.
We make our own Keto ice cream with an ice cream maker with whole heavy cream, butter, egg yolks, a hand full of berries and sweetened with monkfruit. It's better than any store bought ice cream!! You can play around with the flavours too ~ lemon/lavender, chocolate/raspberry, chocolate chip mint....yummm
What measurements, please 🥰
Thank you for posting this! I've had the Halo keto ice cream and after having some of it. My stomach started feeling weird. I will start making my very own keto ice cream.
I don't buy "keto" products. And I always make my own icecream. It's empowering to know I can do it on my own and know what's going in my dishes. :)
I’ve been waiting for this!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
💜💜💜💜
We made an amazing discovery! In a Solo cup, fill half full with frozen berries. I prefer blueberries, but the berry mix we get with raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries is good, too. I don't like the size of the strawberry pieces, and you will see why if you try this.
Fill the Solo cup half full of berries.
Fill the cup the rest of the way with Heavy Whipping Cream.
Mix and eat!
This makes the best ice cream I have ever eaten in my life! The frozen berries like to clump together, so the mixing process is done, in part, as you are eating. The refreezing and clumping can continue. But, it is so amazingly awesome!
Couldn't you blend the fruit and add in the cream and then freeze? Maybe you are suggesting a quick fix?
@@hollyhock3945 Just sharing a marvelous discovery!
It's SO easy and there are SO many recipes for easy homemade ice cream on TH-cam. All you have to do is use organic cream, milk, and vanilla, and then substitute erythritol for sugar. I do like the Halo Top (which now makes actual keto ice cream) but the homemade just tastes a few months fresher. And is a lot cheaper as well.
Sometimes we just get a bit tired of meal prepping every single thing 😂 or maybe it's just me? I know it's much cheaper. I hate the misleading labeling, but ya know, someone's getting rich off "keto".
All that says keto or looks keto, is not always keto. 🤔
Hmm, worth giving a thought.
I think people don't know aikido is or the company's don't care.
people should start in massive numbers writing into and contacting those brands
I'm so frustrated........I love you Dr. Berg, but is there anything you do approve of?
I saw a cauliflower pizza crust and bought two boxes with 2 crusts in each. When I got home I checked the carbs and it's like 24 per serving, turns out it also has flour. Bruuuh
Rebel uses high quality milk protein isolate/concentrate with virtually no lactose (1%) from Idaho cows. We do not import our MPC from China or other countries. We do not add any tapioca, sugar, wheat, etc. We only use non-GMO ingredients, including the erythritol. While we would like to have organic cream and eggs, it would make the product too expensive for the marketplace, so it's not economically feasible. Cream is already the most expensive ingredient, so we had to compromise. It's still cleaner than homemade keto ice cream, because almost all store-bought cream has carrageenan, mono/di-glycerides, polysorbate, etc. The biggest difference here is that the founders of Rebel are keto and have been for YEARS. That is why we are so strict and refuse to put in any milk. These other brands had low calorie, high-protein lines and are just chasing the trends, the $s.
We tried Rebel ice cream when we visited Florida from the U.K. a couple of months back. It was delicious and we couldn’t believe it was Keto. My wife ate tons of the stuff and still lost weight whilst on holiday!!!!! We do have some Keto ice cream brands in the U.K. but not as good as Rebel - any chance you could bring your lovely product over to the U.K.? Pretty please?
@@MrSavvynet We don't have the resources to expand internationally unfortunately! Not unless some larger company bought us! 😂
*It's reassuring to know that we can enjoy ice cream while staying true to our keto lifestyle, as long as we are mindful of the ingredients. Your guidance will undoubtedly help many keto enthusiasts make better choices when it comes to their sweet treats.*
Good video. I've been tempted by these because i miss ice cream more than anything else but I have resisted and now I'm glad that I have. Try this instead: Spoon of organic peanut butter mixed into a spoon of grass fed butter mixed with some chopped organic pecans. Put it in the fridge to get it cold. Its a great substitute for ice cream and completely organic. Lots of calories -- keep the portion small. Easy to do because you can't eat peanut butter quickly.
I eat Rebel and Enlightened a few times a month. It doesn't bother my stomach and I eat it so rarely, I just don't worry enough about it, but thanks for making this video, it's informative. I also am not on the train with eating a lot of the extra fats; I just don't see how eating so much fat can help. Healthy fats, like avocado and olive oil I can understand, but not trimming fat from meat and such, adding extra fats to things... that doesn't seem healthy and I wasn't doing it before keto, so I can't change it now.
Hopefully, more keto products will start doing more research into what is really keto and changing, because it IS nice to be able to just pick something up from the store, sometimes, instead of having to make literally everything.
Thank you for making this! I found the keto pint ice cream bars and loved them. But I could tell something was off because I wasn’t dropping weight anymore AND I was feeling kind of addicted to them. I couldn’t have just one. I stopped after the first box (which took me about a week to eat). I figured it might be great once every couple of months as a treat. Just like I only have birch benders pancakes every couple weeks. But it felt like I had almost gotten off of keto when I was eating those. (Delicious though!)
That's the word, Keto Ice cream is "addictive". With me the problem was (is) with the pints, its always at east one pint, sometimes two. But as I said elsewhere it has not effected my weight lost so far.
"keto bread" is another one. If you don't make your own then pass on buying keto bread.
Andromeda Even Thin Slim Foods brand?
I just brought Chompies today; its ingredient list looked like it fit the bill. I'm assuming it's refrigerated because it doesn't have all the preservatives in it.
@@shoulung6203 If it contains vital wheat gluten, it may be low carb, but it isn't keto
YUP! I enjoy eating lupin flour bread, pasta. Pizza, Hawaiian rolls and burger buns and my family can't tell its not wheat!
@@tielde8199 vital wheat gluten is all protein and no grain. Educate yourself on this, it is clean as long as its organic and don't have celiac disease.
Best to make your own icecream at home, that way you control 100% of the ingredients
Dr B keeping it real. I will admit stopped the video and went and ate some ice cream in case I wouldn’t be able to after watching the video.
The brand I buy is not on this list but I’ll have to check the ingredients now.
Hahahaha!! That's funny.
Omg how did I miss this video that been out for a year. Two of those are my weekend favs, well were before I just invested in an ice cream maker. Not because I knew about any of this but because they’re pricey. Now I can mix my own healthy ingredients.
Maybe my logic is flawed but why not occasionally...once per quarter perhaps...have some of your favourite regular high fat ice cream. Not too much. Then plan on a nice longer intermittent fast of twenty-four to thirty-six hours. Autophagy will be kicked in to deal with any AGE's accumulated and other irritants. Yes you'll be out of keto for a bit but if you've been doing it long enough you'll get back in in no time.
It's summer, people. A little ice cream is mandatory!
What a timely video. I just ate a pint of Enlightened last night for the first time. I was pretty excited to taste ice cream again after some years. Guess I need to go find one of your alternative ice cream recipes.
Imported milk products could be lead paint for all we know.
Thank you for this!!! So many products are now cashing in on the Keto label and they aren’t true Keto and many contain ingredients that aren’t Keto at all!!!
Seriously! At Costco the other day I couldn't find a "Keto" labeled product with less than 11-15 grams of net carbs per serving. Plus they were selling "keto" granola with rolled oats, I wish! It was so disappointing. I'm getting a bit tired of the daily meal prep, I wanted a few convenience items.
I guess it's similar to the low fat craze in the 80's and 90's where they just replaced fat with more sugar (Snack Wells comes to mind as a terrible "diet" food). They may be lower carb like quinoa or whole grains compared to the refined carbs like white flour and white rice, but still to high in carbs to actually work with my lifestyle.
Just don’t eat ice cream. Unfortunately.
wat left only veg ,mushrooms,natural fat olive coconut ect and fatty fish and two eggs
Pretty much. There's a point where something is so denatured due to substituting ingredients, that you might as well say goodbye to it from your life. I've said goodbye to a hundred different foods that I love this year. I know they just can't be part of my life anymore - otherwise I won't have my life for very long!
make your own icecream
Heck with that! I can make my own in about 2 minutes with a few ingredients and then just let the freezer do the rest
You really reading my mind huh! I just had them yesterday! From now on I’m going to make my own!
Thank you for this video; really thorough explanation!
I love how the ad for this video was for a keto ice cream
Ice Cream Keto friendly recipe: Whip cream with a little monk fruit or stevia, add a little vanilla and berries. Mix, freeze. FINISHED. You can also add a couple of pieces of 85% Lindt Chocolate melted and cooled down. Put in freezer = Chocolate Ice cream. Easy, honest, KETO.. taddaaaah
people check out Joe Duffs mason jar keto ice cream recipe series and make ur own icecream. that way you can make sure to have good quality by buying high quality (organic) incredient...
You are THE BEST OF BEST Dr. Berg, no one in a world can compete with your knowledge. Wonderful job on reviewing these products I hope they listen and make the appropriate healthy changes.
I contacted Rebel Creamery and they assured me that the Milk Protein Isolate they use is from Idaho cows near their headquarters. They appear to be concerned about the quality of their product.
Thanks for contacting us and spreading the word. :) We definitely don't look for the cheapest ingredients! The only issue that doesn't meet his list is organic cream and eggs. I wish we could, but it would triple the cost of the pint and nobody would buy it. Some compromise is necessary in life for the occasional treat! At least IMO. :)
Wow ! I just learned alot about Keto ice creams . I was gonna buy rebel and Halo, also was gonna try the Almond breeze ice cream bites but that too had so many artificial stuff in it . Thank you Dr.!
Damn!! Now I gotta give up my keto ice cream!! I knew it couldn’t of been good! Thanks Doc. Good stuff!
Great. Thanks for watching!
Returning my Upstar Keto ice cream, purchased last night. Thank you so much!
They also add stabilizers and manufactured oils in their products
Honestly, Ice cream is the only thing I miss but I don't refuse to substitute and willingly do without. I'm 100lbs down and 3 years without the junk. Plants and animal protein only for LIFE!
Seems like the best Keto ice creams are the ones you make at home yourself. Plenty of recipes out there. Mason jar Keto ice cream. Currently my local grocery chain seems to be having trouble stocking organic heavy cream.
mines too>>Currently my local grocery chain seems to be having trouble stocking organic heavy cream.
Honestly speaking those brands selling small pints with higher prices between $5 to $8 comparing to the other ice cream makers like Breyers or Dreyer's.
If they are not using organic, then what would be cost? Probably less than $1
As u said it's low carb and sugar and way better then regular ice cream the key here is its a treat eating the whole pint no matter what the ingredients will blow and be bad on keto...a small amount of these ice creams in moderation isn't bad.....thanks for the info as Always berg
The way I see it, if you really want something like ice cream, just have the real thing, it’s not like your eating it every day..right
Even if the ingredients are dirty, will it still keep blood sugars and insulin low?
I did ice cream/ice candy avocado.1big avocado, coconut cream, heavy cream,little insulin / stevia,whipped raw egg yolk to steamer,salt. Combine all together
Enlightened is my favorite, don't experience any stomach issues.
I'm the same way! I ate only enlightened ice cream for 3 days jist to see what happened. I think everyone has different tolerance levels.
@@MarydToKeto I only have like 4 or 5 tablespoons at one sitting, and usually only once a week, it sure cures my sweet tooth.
@@AI-MusicPlanet That's awesome!! I've been adding peanut butter on top lately and it is SOOOO good!
Thank you for making this video! I hadn't tried any yet, but had been thinking about it. Now I know to just stay away from them all.
I fell for Halo top, tasted like plastic, very questionable ingredients in the other brands too. I just make mason jar ice cream now.
Thank you for sharing this important information with us all. Take care and stay safe too everybody. 🍦🍧😷♥️🙂🐶
Yes, mason jar ice cream(s) are yum!
@@sitdown3983 Exactly. 👍🍦 Stay safe Sit Down. 😷♥️🙂🐶
I just gave up the idea of eating ice cream or ice cream look-alikes.
Enlightened makes a great keto collection. I did an ice cream fast using it and it was pretty interesting. If U can live without it, that's awesome though
@@MarydToKeto Yes people still forget all of our bodies operate differently. I ate a pint of Rebel ice cream every day for a week (for science) without a single detriment.
Yes, I said goodbye to it. It keeps you in the headspace of wanting sweet treats, which leads to cutting corners and making compromises in other ways. It's safer and easier to just leave some things behind.
I've been making a very satisfying eggnog that taste like ice cream using
a can of full fat cc milk,
a can measure of almond milk (though macadamia would be healthier), and
1.5-2 can measures of organic heavy cream,
10 eggs (8 if really large), about
1Tbsp vanilla, about
1/4c powdered or liquid mixed sweetener (erythritol, monkfruit, stevia [glycerate my fave]).
My favorite use is about a cup with my green drink mix I made (that is hideous, but I have enough forever). It makes it pleasant enough and fills my 20oz glass. I suppose I could add some xathum gum for thickening and an ounce of vodka so it doesnt ice up and make ice cream w it.
Keto ice cream recipe that’s dr. Berg approved??
I was literally searching for keto ice cream yesterday and wondering about it. I've seen a lot of similar comments so im pretty convinced dr.berg has an ability to read the minds of his subscribers 😸😹
Dr Berg, its not labeled as Keto but my go to is So Delicious Coconut milk Vanilla bean. Its non GMO, no sugar added and uses organic coconut milk. Do you see anything wrong with the ingredients in it?
It has carrageenan in it which is not good for you!
Wow.. That was helpful, I haven’t had Ice cream for a year now, and I was thinking of trying the keto store bought kind.. Nope not now, I think I will try to make my own ice cream.. Thank you...
I have been a fan of Dr. Berg for awhile now and I do enjoy his healthy lifestyles advice and recommendations however I do become a little skeptical about the whole organic thing. Just because in this video he mentioned not knowing about foods organic status so my thing is how do we know its organic? We weren't there when it was harvested or even seen the care and maintenance of the food so we have to take their word for it? I strongly believe I won't know that it's organic unless I planted, grown, and harvested it myself. So I believe we're pretty much taking a chance either way. Sorry. Don't get me wrong I am still going to continue my healthy weight loss "ketolike" journey because I've seen major results and I feel great even if I don't always eat organically. IJS.
Just amazing Dr.B. Thank you 👍🏾😊🤙🏾💚
2 years ago going Keto...I have totally lost my taste for sweet, especially crap with the artificial ingredients, sweeteners, erythritol, or any other crap. One big nutrient dense salad meal a day...no keto bombs, no snacks! My health has never been better at age 66! Also lost 22 lbs & am at my ideal weight. Thank you Dr. Berg!
Thanks Dr. Berg, I watch and enjoy all your videos. I went keto during Ramadan and still going afterwards. Along with IF. I am supplementing daily with D3, Zinc, C and Fish Oil. I feel my brain is thanking me for these choices! No more foggy brain, way less bloating and overall feeling of well-being. When I miss some carbs I make sure to have them with slow digesting food, while keeping my carb intake overall lower than I used to consume.
Best regards from Algeria.
Thank you foe these videos ! You are fearless ! Get em!
I eat mascarpone mixed with cacao and stevia. Add half a cup of berries to taste. Voila, keto ice cream!
That sounds so delicious !!
Wow bitter sweet. Guess I’ll have to home make my own
I was 2secs away from pressing check out! Thank god! I searched for a review on Keto Ice cream. I’ve been on clean keto diet for 2months , I don’t want anything to ruined what I’ve achieved. I guess I’m just gonna have to wait for the rest of the year to end before I could it ice cream again. 😕
It's as simple as this. If you have underlying health problems which is why you're using keto, then don't touch any keto processed product. Make it yourself or do without. Dairy products, even cream, cheese and butter are inflammatory in a lot of people. Only very few can get away with sugar, sugar alcohol, milk etc in low quantities.
Thank you so much, I love ice cream and I am disappointed by these fake keto products. I made avocado pistachio ice cream without the red flag items you highlighted and it was wonderful.👍
sorry, but this one i dont really agree with . to me the bottom line is how much protein and net carbs that any product has, and in that regard, Rebel Ice Cream is perfectly okay to eat
Doc please make your own ice cream line !!!!
he dose.
Hi from Italy Dr. Berg! I don't understand why there are so many videos and recipes for keto desserts and ice creams. For me, after almost 4 years of keto + IF, all sweet-tasting foods and beverages are disgusting, and that includes all keto sweeteners and the majority of the toothpastes that are available on the market. Maybe keto desserts are meant to help those who are just starting this diet
Thank you Dr Berg. I knew something wasn't right about those ice creams.
I learned so much from this . Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Make your own keto ice cream. Very easy to do. Can even do it in a mason jar. Make sure you add 1 tablespoon of vodka. That keeps the ice cream from freezing rock solid. If you don't add the vodka you will need to leave it out for 10 minutes before eating.
You tell em doc😂😘
I've never heard of those brands. I eat Breyer's low carb until today. I just saw a great strawberry keto ice cream mason jar recipe that I will use from now on
The BEST way to insure an all natural product is to use only organic products certified by a reputable certification agency (do your homework to find one that is certifying products in your area) and make YOUR OWN ice cream.
At 50+ dollars per gallon cost for the store bought brands of "Keto friendly" , it wont' take you very long to recoup your investment on a good ice cream machine . Get one that does not require ice ie: models that have a compressor. Try to get one that has at least a 4 quart capacity if you are making ice cream for a family. For one person a 1.5 qt should be fine.
Keep in mind that "keto friendly" does not mean calorie friendly. The cream in ice cream is very caloric. 820 calories per cup for heavy cream and 470 calories per cup for light cream.
From my experience, the only way I have ever been able to get into ketosis, was to eat only green veggies, protein from meats and essential oils from flaxseed and avocado oils.
ANY kind of processed "keto friendly" anything, knocked me right out of ketosis.
ZERO SUGAR and carbs (from veggies only) below 50 grams is essential to get into ketosis. Once you are in you can up the veggie carbs to 80 , even 100 grams. That's a LOT of veggies. Even 50 grams is a LOT!
Also very important is to take a HIGH QUALITY vitamin supplement made from "whole foods".
Not the crap you buy from the supermarket. This high quality stuff can only be bought from a health food store. Do your homework. I don't want to suggest my recommendations because I don't want anyone to think I'm saying this to push a product. I have no affiliations with any products.
This is why I just bought an ice cream maker so I can control the ingredients. I started using all organic, grass fed (and finished when possible) dairy and eggs.
denada icecream (australian brand) has none of these ingredients except the pops, the dark choc coating has ethritol.
The best and the safest ice cream is the one you make at home using organic and keto-safe ingredients! It is worth it:)
Wow!! I needed this information a long time ago. I’m glad I just finished my last purchase. I love the peanut butter chocolate Enlighten bars! Well, I did 😕. Thanks again for setting me on the straight and narrow.
One reason I bet these companies don't go all organic is the cost. These ice creams are already pretty expensive the way they are. The only time I buy any of them is when they are on sale. I can't imagine what the prices would be if all the ingredients were organic too. Oh, and Halo Top now has several flavors of keto specific ice cream.
Emailed Rebel. They said some of their products are organic, but full organic is too costly.
Thanks for the work you put in.
I appreciate those kind words!
The bloating...I ate something with swerve...I had a balloon gut and a lot of pain...never again.
Isn't xylitol in that ? Xylithol upsets stomachs - mine too.
yep thats why ability to read labels is important. Doctor one more video please on reading between the lines for product labels. Since a lot of confusing things are written which we can easily misread and buy wrong items. Please consider one more discrete video for understanding labels in its real sense. Also if we are unsure of some ingredient, how can we assess it and make a decision on the fly while in a store. Thanks doctor.
Nobody explains it better, thanks doctor berg.
Thank you! Appreciate that!
Thank you Dr Berg for sharing this information.
It's always a great pleasure!
Even if your topic doesn't have anything to do with me (no keto ice cream where I live) i still learned something useful!
When I want ice cream, I take a ball Jar, fill it half way with heavy cream, put a teaspoon of vanilla, and stevia to taste, get my hand mixer out and only use one side to whip the cram until it's really thick. Put that in the freezer for three hours and there it is, keto ice cream.... with only three ingredients and you put them in there. You don't get more fresh than that.
Here's the deal for me...I believe in not allowing the perfect to be the enemy of the good and I do good keto and don't give a damn about doing perfect keto. I've lost 50 pounds in the past year, 35 of them on keto and those rid me of my abdominal fat. My blood work has shown that my severe fatty liver has greatly improved, my triglycerate/HDL ration is .74 and my HOMA-IR is 0.4. My ALS/ALT ratio from my liver panel is 1.2 and over 1 indicates there is no insulin resistance. So I'm satisfied with how I do keto and refuse to beat myself up by trying to do it perfectly and following a boatload of rules. I prefer to enjoy my success and enjoy how I eat, as keto imperfect as it may be.
