Quest for the Best - Healthier Ice Cream - Peanut Butter and Fitness

***Updated August 28th, 2021***

Looking for some ice cream to cool down for summer or just enjoy with a movie? Well, if you’re skipping out on making your own ice cream (like this one or this one) and are opting for your local freezer aisle instead, here’s a breakdown of the protein/light/healthier ice creams you might find there! I decided to try to compare all the chocolate flavors against each other since that’s the gold standard in my book. I could have gone vanilla, but that wouldn’t have been as much fun for me 🙂 Of course, some brands don’t do regular old chocolate, so I went with what I could find or whatever I thought might be closest to the classic.

With my latest update to this post, I added some ice creams that are just lighter or healthier (but not necessarily protein-packed). Because they’re not all specifically protein ice creams, I decided to rank them based primarily off of taste and texture. If two brands were tied, I ranked them based on protein content. Hopefully this helps you decide which one to try next!
