Although it can be challenging to satisfy a sweet tooth on a strict high-fat, low-carb ketogenic diet, better-for-you ice cream brand Enlightened created a keto ice cream collection to better serve people following this diet. Enlightened is known for its ice cream pints and ice cream bars, which are high in protein and fiber and low in sugar, carbs and fat.
Enlightened recently found that its brand name is commonly plugged into search engines along with the term "keto" and set out to provide a range of sweet, diet-friendly treats to satisfy consumers. The Keto Collection boasts indulgent yet healthy flavors like Chocolate Peanut butter, Mint Chocolate Chunk and Chocolate Glazed Donut—and best of all, each serving of ice cream contains less than a gram of sugar and only one gram of net carbs.
