SCOOPING UP HIGH PROTEIN WITH GLP-1 COMPATIBILITY
Two Spoons Creamery introduced a GLP-1 friendly, high-protein ice cream in four mix-in flavors: Rocky Road, Strawberries & Cream, Caramel Swirl and Fudgy Brownie. Each 16-ounce pint has 30g of premium protein without added sugar or sugar alcohols. Instead, the frozen treat is sweetened with allulose, an all-natural, low-calorie sweetener found in figs and maple syrup that studies show can trigger the release of GLP-1, the Los Angeles-based company says. Additionally, each container also is full of all natural, gluten-free ingredients such as salted caramel, natural strawberry jam, fudgy brownies, marshmallows and nuts. Two Spoons co-founder and ice cream flavor guru Rich Ferreira notes that it took over a year to get its Rocky Road flavor just right. “We broke a few machines in the process, but hey — if it’s not full of fluff, is it even Rocky Road?”

Using as much of that genuine, lemony goodness as possible, the proprietary recipe uses a combination of zest, oil and peel to pack the biggest, brightest, punch of authentic lemon flavor. The Strawberry Lemon Chill is made with real strawberry puree, infusing the natural sweetness of sun-ripened berries to add an extra layer of fresh, juiciness.
