Is Over the Moo healthier than traditional ice cream?

Okay, okay, I know what you're thinking! We're going to be biased... after all our bangin' little ice cream bites are plant-based, but I promise we're going to be unbiased here... as much as possible at least! Now, dairy-free ice cream is often considered better for you for a few reasons, although it's essential to remember that not all plant-based ice creams are automatically healthier, there's a lot to consider in all the little extras. However, we are just focussing on us right now, and below are the reasons why we are coming out on top!

1. Lower in saturated fat: Traditional ice creams are normally high in saturated fat, which is often linked with an increased risk of heart disease (scary stuff). Now our little coconutty-based bites are naturally lower in saturated fats meaning they are a better alternative going toe to toe or bite-to-bite in that department.

2. Cholesterol-free: Yes you read that! Plant-based ice creams do not contain cholesterol as cholesterol is only found in animal products such as dairy. Again, high cholesterol can lead to some spooky stuff such as heart disease. There's another win for our ice cream bites.

3. Lactose-free: Did you know that experts predict that 75% of the World is it actually lactose intolerant to some degree? Crazy isn't it? Like it or not, eating a lot of dairy isn't that great for you, so swapping out the the occasional bit of ice cream for our tasty alternative could do a World of good, whilst tantalising your tastebuds.

4. micronutrient-rich: Plant-based ice creams offer more nutrients than traditional dairy-based ice creams. Imagine eating ice cream that is slightly healthier. Ka-ching!

5. Fewer additives: Most plant-based ice creams use fewer artificial additives, colours, and preservatives than traditional ice creams, making them a cleaner option! There you have it, 5 reasons why Over the Moo may make a healthier alternative for you! Don't get us twisted, we believe in a balanced diet and think that you can eat whatever you want in moderation, but if you are looking for a tasty alternative to the status quo then give us a go!
