As we get closer to summer, we feel like eating that delicious dessert ice cream or even on a sunny late afternoon.
There is no denying that ice cream is irresistible, right? The problem is that the industrialized versions of dough ice cream are not at all interesting to our health.
These foods are often high in sugar, which is absorbed very quickly by the body and generates glycemic spike, making you hungry shortly afterwards and favoring the accumulation of fat in the abdomen.
In addition, industrialized ice cream contains many saturated fats, which when consumed in excess may favor the onset of cardiovascular disease.
And, of course, for those who want to lose a few pounds or even maintain weight, mass ice creams are not usually a good choice as they can be very caloric. One hundred grams of chocolate ice cream, for example, offers 207 calories.

This all, however, does not mean that you will have to spend the whole summer without taking a sorbet! If you are looking for a healthier version of this treat, you can try detox ice cream, a crushed ice cream made with green juice.
The tip is from youtuber Flavio Giusti, from VegetariRANGO channel. Write down the ingredients and check out the following step by step:
