It’s no surprise to most that I love desserts that offer health benefits! Most of you also know that I love to share my go-to’s and favorites. With summer OFFICIALLY here, I thought it would be fun to share my favorite [healthy] ice cream companies! Some new, some familiar, all YUMMY.

Now, trust me...you should know that I am all about balance when it comes to our eating habits. Just because I frequent in buying these healthier brands, doesn't mean I would never say to completely stop having regular, full-fat and dairy ice cream. However, if you are looking to stick to specific health goals, these brands are all great options and alternatives. The added health benefits are a GREAT treat, too.

DISCLAIMER: I am sharing these treats in hopes to inspire you with fun ideas! This post was not sponsored and is not affiliated with any company.
