What's one of the best things about the increasing popularity of the keto diet?

More companies are churning out their own brands of keto ice cream.

As delicious as these low-carb treats are, though, keto ice cream is anything but cheap. There isn’t enough competition to drive prices down, which is why most grocery store options cost between $6 and $10 per pint (twice the cost of regular ice cream).

Suffice it to say, if you want low-carb ice cream, you'll have to pay for it. 

Or will you?

This raspberry vanilla keto ice cream might just be the perfect way to get your ice cream fix without breaking the budget. 

Plus, it uses fresh fruit, healthy fats, coconut milk, and our MCT-based keto meal replacement.

No added chemicals or difficult-to-pronounce ingredients—which isn't the case for most over-priced grocery store options.

Tips for Selecting Raspberries

• Don't buy damaged fruit: Out of all the berries, raspberries are probably the most fragile. They can easily get squished or destroyed if they weren't handled properly before they hit the store floor. Simply put: don't buy berries that aren't in pristine condition.
• Look at all the fruit: Following that first tip, look closely at all the berries. They're usually sold in plastic containers that can hide inferior or damaged fruit in the middle. Turn the container over to check the ones on the bottom. Keep an eye out for any that have mold on them.
• Plump, firm, and red: These three words accurately nail what you should be looking for. If the raspberries look dried out, mushed, or aren't the luscious red color you've seen before, skip them. Over-ripe berries will be soft and falling apart.
