The words 'healthy' and 'ice cream' are hardly used in the same sentence. After all, it something is delicious and satisfying, then it probably isn’t good for you. Well, not with these ice creams. You can have a party in the mouth while keeping the tummy tight with all the guilt-free ice cream you can find in Singapore.

Callery’s

"Maximum Happiness, Minus the Guilt" – is what Callery’s promises you’ll feel after eating their premium low-calorie, low sugar, intensely flavoured ice cream. Claiming to have up to 77 per cent fewer calories, 80 per cent less sugar, and 77 per cent less fat as compared to other brands of ice cream, you kind of wonder where do the remaining calories come from. A key ingredient that Callery’s uses is Erythritol; a natural sweetener found in plants and fruits, which doesn’t cause bloating nor affect blood sugar levels. Currently offering the three essential flavours of ice cream; vanilla bean, Belgium dark chocolate, and strawberries and crème, each serving ranges between an incredible 51 – 72 calories. That being said, if a healthier lifestyle is what you’re after, everything in moderation is always the best way to go.

Callery’s is available at S$16.90 at NTUC Fairprice Finest outlets island-wide and Redmart.
