Summer is my favorite season because I can make ice cream everyday 😁

And yes – if it’s healthy you can eat it every single day!

The problem with most ice creams on the market is that they are filled with sugar! Like… so much sugar. If you read labels, ice creams at your local grocery stores contain between 14 and 24% sugar by weight.

WOW!

Sugar wreaks havoc on our gut and immune system, and when we overindulge, it can cause inflammation and an array of health conditions.

But for many of us, summer and sugar go hand in hand… Thankfully, consistent, daily support of your gut can go a long way when we eat a little too much of this, or a little too much of that. In fact, studies are showing that getting your microbiome back in balance can help your body:

Stop, slow, or reverse disease progression
Protect precious insulin-producing cells
Use insulin more effectively
Manage blood sugar levels
Avoid intense sugar spikes and dips
And even maintain a healthy weight

But what does this have to do with ice cream bars?

If you want to really enjoy this delicious, summertime treat without the added sugars… And get a healthy dose of great gut support… Skip the grocery store shelves and make some ice cream bars yourself!

Ready to indulge to your heart's (and gut’s) content?... Let’s go!
