Say goodbye to summer with this unforgettable, protein-packed ice cream that tastes like sweet and salty cheesecake. We are not exaggerating when we say this might be the best ice cream you've ever had.

It gets its creamy texture from a mix of gut-friendly Greek yogurt, kefir, and cottage cheese, which are all rich in probiotics to support your digestion and gut microbiome. This delicious treat is also packed with dates and miso for a touch of fiber and umami flavor.
