About Ijsje
Ijsje, or ice cream, is a sweet frozen dessert originating from Europe, with Italy's gelato being a renowned style. Modern ice cream is enjoyed globally, often served in various flavors and forms like cones, bowls, or sundaes. Typically made from milk, cream, sugar, and flavoring agents, ijsje provides approximately 200 calories per serving and is high in carbohydrates (25g) and fat (10g). It has modest protein content (3g) and contains small amounts of calcium (100mg) and trace iron (0.2mg), although it lacks fiber, vitamin C, and vitamin D. Its creamy texture and appealing sweetness make it a popular comfort food and treat but should be consumed in moderation due to its high sugar and fat content.

Common Questions About Ijsje Nutrition

Ijsje has 3 grams of protein per serving, which is relatively low compared to foods like yogurt or nuts. It is not considered a significant source of protein but can contribute a small amount to your daily intake.
Can I eat ijsje on a keto diet?

Is ijsje healthy to eat regularly?
Ijsje is high in sugar (20 grams per serving) and fat (10 grams per serving), which can be a concern if consumed frequently. While it can be enjoyed in moderation as a treat, excess consumption may contribute to weight gain and affect blood sugar levels.
