by Diet Angel Diet Angel Enterprise

The concept of “healthy eating” has become the new cultural fixation. However, following a healthy diet does not mean you have to give up on your favorite foods. Ice cream is one of those “can’t-live-without” foods. According to a health magazine, you can eat ice cream once a day and still lose weight. The trick lies in paying closer attention to the ingredients. You can indulge in absolutely decadent, healthy treats by including organic raw food full of nutrient-rich ingredients such as organic raw cacao, organic raw maca powder, fruits and healthy sugar alternatives, which you can easily buy from a food store in Malaysia or your local grocery store.


Raw vegan ice cream is healthier than regular ice cream as it contains fewer calories, nutrient-rich organic raw foods, less fat or sugar, and uses a non-dairy base as compared to normal dairy ice cream. So, go with raw vegan ice cream that is perfect for cooling down on a hot summer day rather than normal ice cream.
