About Spaghettieis

This playful treat appeals to children and adults alike. Nutritionally, Spaghettieis provides a moderate amount of calories (150 per serving) and a mix of nutrients from its components. Although primarily a dessert, it offers small amounts of protein (3 g) and calcium (75 mg), mainly from the ice cream, alongside 20 g of carbohydrates and 6 g of fat.
