# Whale-Saving Keto Ice Creams Killer Creamery Created a Special Black Keto-Friendly Ice Cream By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2019-06-13 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keto-friendly-ice-cream References: [nosh](https://www.nosh.com/food-wire/2019/killer-creamery-partners-with-orca-conservation-group-to-protect-killer-whales/) & [killercreamery](https://killercreamery.com/collections/keto-lchf) In celebration of National Orca Day, [Killer Creamery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/killer-fruit) launched a keto-friendly ice cream that's [all-black](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opaque-2) and helps to support the Raincoast Conservation Foundation and the research and protection of [Southern Resident Killer Whales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/genetic-optimization), which are dwindling in numbers. The all-natural black ice cream gets its unconventional hue from the addition of activated charcoal and also boasts a no-added-sugar formula. All of the profits from the sales of the limited-edition black ice cream by Killer Creamery will help to support the Raincoast Conservation Foundation's work, which is of the utmost importance as there are less than 80 Southern Resident Killer Whales that remain in the wild. The special Free Whaley flavor joins other unique keto-friendly frozen desserts from the brand, many of which boast whale-themed names like the Peanut Blubber and Chilla in Vanilla pints. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Eco-friendly Products:** Killer Creamery's black keto-friendly ice cream that supports whale conservation highlights the consumer demand for eco-friendly products. - **Activism Marketing:** Marketing campaigns like Killer Creamery's Free Whaley flavor, which pledges profits to support whale conservation, showcase the growing trend of activism marketing. - **Alternative Ingredients:** The use of activated charcoal in Killer Creamery's black keto-friendly ice cream demonstrates the trend towards using alternative ingredients in innovative food products. ### Where This Applies - **Ice Cream Industry:** The success of innovative products like Killer Creamery's keto-friendly Free Whaley flavor has the potential to disrupt the traditional ice cream industry. - **Environmental Conservation:** The partnership between Killer Creamery and Raincoast Conservation Foundation highlights the intersection of environmental conservation and business, creating potential for innovative collaborations within this industry. - **Health and Wellness:** Killer Creamery's keto-friendly ice cream is part of the growing trend towards healthier and more environmentally-conscious food products, disrupting the traditional sweets and desserts industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Boozy Blackened Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tipsy-scoop-kraken-ship-wrecked.md) - [Swirled Whipped Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whipnotic.md) - [Jet-Black Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opaque.md) - [Desert-Inspired Keto-Friendly Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halo-top-keto.md) - [Spooky Ice Cream Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scoops-skulls-series.md) - [Low-Sugar Ice Cream Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lowsugar-ice-cream-brand.md) - [Almond-Base Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/almondbase-ice-creams.md) - [Brownie Batter Whipped Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brownie-batter-whipped-cream.md) - [Haunting Halloween Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-ice-cream-flavors.md)
