FAQs

What makes Breyers CarbSmart™ lower in carbs?

CarbSmart™ range uses sugar substitutes to deliver the sweetness you love without the carbs you don’t. These desserts are low in sugar, rich in flavor, and designed to fit into your healthier lifestyle. Plus, they’re made with 100% Grade A milk and cream, just like all our other frozen dairy desserts, so you can rest assured that their texture is just as indulgent, making every bite as satisfying as the classic version.

Is Breyers CarbSmart™ suitable for keto diets?

Keto-friendly? Sure. Keto-strict? Maybe not. While CarbSmart™ is lower in carbs than regular ice cream, it’s not entirely carb-free. Some flavors have around 4–5 net carbs per serving, so if you’re doing a more flexible keto approach, it might fit into your day. Just check the label and do a quick carb count before diving in.

Can I use CarbSmart™ in low-carb dessert recipes?

Absolutely! CarbSmart™ is just as versatile as our classics. From fruity shakes to decadent brownies, it’s the secret to making smarter desserts taste every bit as delicious.
