Guilt Free Keto Ice-cream Floats

Guilt-Free Treats

My partner and I went on the keto diet

As hard as it was, we managed to keep the diet up for a month or so. To sustain, we turned to meal prep which made it so much easier to remain consistent. On our journey we tested and created recipes that were pretty taystee. Keto mozzarella sticks were one of our favorites!

Withdrawals

For starters, you should know that I have a major sweet tooth. Candy and fruit were the hardest for me to give up. Oh yeah, and every other CARB! For a while it was tough. I thought I was going through withdrawals. To ease my growing pains, I made some keto blueberry muffins and ordered some keto gummy bears from amazon. They were out of this world good! Better than regular gummies good! Realistically, paying $20 for a 12 pack of gummy bears, to sustain a bad habit, isn't something that I could afford to keep up.

Like an epiphany, I had the idea to mix keto ice-cream with diet soda

I had no idea that I'd be able to enjoy an Ice-cream float on keto. It wasn't until we discovered this low carb ice-cream from Rebel. So far my partner and I have tried cookies and cream, mint chocolate chip and salted caramel. Of all three flavors, I prefer the salted caramel. Low carb dieting is all new to me, so to find a low carb ice-cream as good as this one was a revelation.

Whilst on our keto journey we grew tired of drinking water all of the time. For us the next best option was diet soda. The first diet soda we tried was Sprite, to me, it wasn't so great. When that was done, we shifted to diet Pepsi. Not that great either. But then! We tried Diet Dr. Pepper, which taste so close to the original thing it's insane.

Like an epiphany, the idea to mix the keto ice-cream with the diet soda and have a low carb guilt-free treat came to fruition!

This realization brought me back to my days working at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. Every day without missing a beat, I'd make myself an ice-cream float. That's one great luxury that comes with working in a kitchen, you can eat mostly whatever you want! Just as long as its not a $50 piece of steak. I had the weirdest flavor combinations too! I would mix strawberry ice-cream with Dr. Pepper.

Any-who. I'm sure someone has created something like this before. However, just as I was a bit late to the party, there's someone out there who is missing this in their life. With that said, Enjoy!
