I don’t know about you, but after a long, hot summer day I could really go for a big bowl of ice cream. The chilled, sweet refreshing taste cools me down instantly while satisfying my sweet tooth. But all of that added sugar tends to kick-start my sugar cravings. On top of that, having a pint (or gallon if I’m being honest) of ice cream on hand leads to my 3 year old constantly begging for it every time I open the freezer. I have nothing against ice cream on occasion, but if it’s going to be a summer staple, I want it to provide a bit more nutrition. That’s why I decided to create this delicious and satisfying High Fiber Greek Yogurt Ice Cream Sandwich recipe.
A healthy alternative without sacrificing the taste!
This healthy Greek yogurt ice cream sandwich recipe is incredibly fun and simple to make. Not only are these ice cream sandwiches higher in fiber and protein with less added sugar than standard ones, but they also are less expensive than buying them premade. As a bonus, the fiber and protein in the sandwich may help to stabilize blood sugar levels, which means you will stay satisfied for a longer period of time and won’t experience those strong cravings, energy dips, or mood swings excessive sugary desserts can often trigger.
