Satisfying a sweet tooth in a healthy way is easier than ever thanks to the many better-for-you frozen desserts that have launched over the last few years. While there are many plant-based frozen desserts that are made with coconut, soy or nut-based formulas, ARCTIC ZERO is introducing two new flavors that are made from a base of faba beans.
While the all-new Classic Vanilla is said to be a smooth and rich take on a beloved flavor, the Pistachio variety fuses pistachio and amaretto flavors—and both of these new better-for-you frozen treats come in at just 40 calories per serving. The frozen desserts are not just plant-based and low in calories but also naturally flavored, gluten-free and low-glycemic, which makes them appealing to a wide range of ingredient-conscious consumers.
