Watermelon Ice Cream: Healthy or Gimmick
The trend of watermelon ice cream is soaring on social media as a healthy summer treat, but nutrition experts warn that additions like heavy cream or sweetened condensed milk increase calories, sugars, and saturated fats, thereby reducing its health benefits. Natural watermelon is low in calories, rich in water and vitamins, but preparing it with rich ingredients elevates its nutritional value and makes it similar to traditional ice cream. It is recommended to replace creamy ingredients with Greek yogurt or plant-based alternatives lower in fats and sugars to create a lighter version. Moderate consumption of ice cream in general does not harm when part of a balanced diet.
