The best healthy and guilt-free ice cream in Singapore

Newcomer on the healthy ice cream scene in Singapore, Kind Kones dishes out quite a variety of healthy, vegan and mostly gluten-free sweet treats. All their ice cream and desserts are made from scratch with natural and chemical-free ingredients that are unprocessed. Picky eaters will be pleased to know that the ice creams do not contain eggs, dairy products, emulsifiers or preservatives and instead, are based on coconut, cashews and/or almonds. Flavours rotate every day but the signature is the Blue Planet, which looks like Earth with green matcha cake bits and a base that is coconut, cashew and almond milk with vanilla and a natural blue pea flower dye. 

Vegans can scream for ice cream too – Brownice makes its dairy and egg-free cold treats with organic brown rice milk for Mao Shan Wang durian, strawberry, black sesame and mint chocolate chip scoops. Brownice also runs an Italian bistro out in East Coast serving pizzas and pastas topped with vegan cheese.

Made with all natural ingredients and fruits, free of all artificial flavourings and preservatives, be refreshed with each bite bursting with fruity flavours at less than 200 calories. Produced only in small batches in their Kallang popLab to ensure only the best quality, PopBar prides itself in offering only the freshest of handcrafted traditional gelato on a stick. Take your pick from more than 30 flavours across three different categories; popGelato, popSorbetto, and yogurtPop, including intense flavours like peanut butter and blood orange. Customize your popbar by choosing a dip from premium dips like milk chocolate to caramel dark chocolate, followed by poppings (toppings), like caramel corn, pistachio and crushed waffle cone.

Known for making artisanal vegan and lactose-intolerant ice creams healthy for both your body and the living environment, Smoocht is no stranger to the scene, being the sister café to Brownice. Indulge in a scoop of guilt-free goodness with nothing more than five per cent of fat and only 80 to 160 calories.
