Re: healthy ice cream, I do enjoy Blue Bell's Natural Vanilla Bean.
> Milk, cream, sugar, skim milk, contains 1% or less of: vanilla extract, guar gum, carob bean gum, ground vanilla beans.
Still has a crapload of sugar and fat in it, eat in considerable moderation but at least it contains only relatively innocuous ingredients.
I dislike the texture of various gums and food science additives in my ice cream, I'm there to eat sugar and fat. If you have to enhance those you're doing it wrong. I suspect my digestive system dislikes them as well feeding the wrong species of gut bacteria or triggering some kind of imbalance or another.
I generally agree, buy it's a small amount compared to just about any other store bought ice cream flavor I've found, and way less ingredients than general. It tastes and feels different.
