Summer is here, and nothing beats the heat like a refreshing scoop of ice cream. But if you’re following a low carb lifestyle, traditional ice cream and its sugar may be off the menu. Enter your new best friend, the CREAMi ice cream maker (maybe you even scored a PRIME deal on one recently).

You can create everything from creamy vanilla to decadent chocolate and fruity sorbets, which you can indulge in guilt-free. These cool, creamy delights will make your summer even sweeter.

New Low Carb Ice Cream Recipes

A CREAMi ice cream maker combines an ice cream maker and blender. It is a breeze to use, cuts down on prep time, and creates restaurant-worthy sweet treats with the touch of a button so you can enjoy delicious, low carb ice cream right at home.

German Chocolate CREAMi Ice Cream

This tasty treat will cure your ice cream cravings while staying on track with your health goals. Coconut, chocolate and pecan come together for an indulgent dessert that showcases an Atkins Creamy Chocolate Coconut Shake and an Atkins Endulge Chocolate Coconut Bar.

Low Carb Peach-Lavender Gelato Balls

Gently floral peach lavender gelato has a hint of cardamon and is perfectly complemented with the cinnamon crunch of Atkins Crunchy Snickerdoodle Protein Cookies for a fancy, frozen dessert.

Cottage Cheese Chocolate Crunch CREAMi Ice Cream

Cottage cheese is the secret ingredient in this recipe and adds a delightful, protein-rich tang to balance out rich chocolate ice cream and crunchy chocolate chunks. This guilt-free summer treat only has 3 grams of Net Carbs but features a whopping 10 grams of protein.

Blackberry Orange Sorbet

This light, refreshing, fruity dessert features fresh blackberries and orange zest.
