Who wouldn't want a refreshing ice cream on a hot sunny day? The only downside to ice cream is that it contains a lot of calories and is not suitable for dieting. But the BiotechUSA brand has come up with a solution and launched Protein Ice Cream, a protein ice cream. Let's briefly introduce this novelty.
How does it all work?
BiotechUSA Protein Ice Cream is not the classic ice cream that most people probably imagine. In fact, it is also an instant ice cream that you have to prepare yourself. But it's nothing complicated. Simply mix one batch (50g) of powder with water and leave this mixture in the freezer for about 2 to 3 hours. The result is a serving of delicious, high-protein ice cream.
The nutritional values will not impress you
The ice cream is based on whey concentrate and cream. However, there is also milk protein (without further specification), glucose syrup, sucrose, stabilisers and, depending on the flavour, other flavourings. The chocolate flavour contains low-fat cocoa powder, while the strawberry flavour also contains the highly controversial red allura dye. The ingredients themselves can be viewed as positive, although the aforementioned colouring in the strawberry flavour is certainly not something to be commended.
The nutritional value of the product is a little worse. One serving of ice cream contains 229 kcal, which is about double the amount of most commercially available ice creams. Therefore, the manufacturer's claim that this is an ice cream that can be enjoyed without regret doesn't hold much water. BiotechUSA Protein Ice Cream also contains 12g of carbohydrates (6.5g of which are sugar) and 8.5g of fat per serving, which is comparable to regular ice cream. The only positive is the 26 g of protein content, which is of course incomparable to commonly sold ice creams. Nevertheless, I have to say that the composition of this product is disappointing for me.
Who is protein ice cream suitable for?
Given the above, it's probably clear that BiotechUSA Protein Ice Cream is not fundamentally different from regular ice cream in terms of nutritional value. The high protein content is of course appreciated by most athletes, but if you're looking for a low-calorie dessert to fit into your diet, you'll have to go a little further afield. Protein ice cream is therefore a good alternative to regular ice cream for those of you who would indulge in ice cream anyway. However, if you would normally deny yourself ice cream because of its high calorie content, this is definitely not a product that will solve your problem in any way.
Is protein ice cream worth a try?
I'll admit that BiotechUSA Protein Ice Cream is quite a disappointment for me. The product tries to pretend to be a healthy and low-calorie alternative to regular ice cream, which you can indulge in without the hassle ofbut in reality it contains even more calories than the ice cream you buy in the supermarket or at the kiosk on the way home. The only benefit is therefore the higher protein content. But if ice cream is one of your favourite desserts and you can't resist it over the summer anyway, it may make sense for you to swapIt may make sense to replace your regular ice cream with BiotechUSA Protein Ice Cream and justify your occasional munching by making sure you're getting enough protein.
Why can you trust us?
Sport has been my lifelong passion, I have been close to it since I was a child. For a long time I was primarily involved in athletics, which also eventually led me to the gym. Every good sprinter knows that to get one tenth of a start, he must therefore sacrifice hundreds of hours in training. And it was this toil behind the curtain, which no one sees, that was my greatest passion.
Every kilo in the gym helped me to move a little closer to my goal and I fell in love with the gym very quickly. Even though I don't race anymore, nothing has changed in my relationship with uncompromising training.
