Nutritional values

With dairy products as the basis, the fruit ice cream trio has a thick portion of protein and calcium to offer while staying really low-fat. Only 4 grams of fat are in one portion! Because only a little sugar is added, figure-conscious people can eat without worrying.

While it is unique, basil ice cream tastes really good! But if you would prefer, you can also use lemon balm or mint instead.
