July is National Ice Cream Month, and we’ve found a winner. We stumbled across Rebel Ice Cream in our supermarket. The pint carton screamed out: No Sugar Added! Lactose-Free! Low Carb! High Fat! (The fat here is a good thing; you need it for premium ice cream.)

We were intrigued enough to pick up a pint to scan the ingredients and liked what we saw. It’s our Top Pick Of The Week.

While we don’t follow a ketogenic diet, we do look for sugar-free ice cream (because we eat so much of it), and given our proclivity to eat 3/4 of a pint as a normal serving, our system likes lactose-free dairy as well.

Rebel’s nutritious fats, zero sugars, and no lactose enable everyone to indulge in creamy, full-fat ice cream. It’s the first premium, low-carb, high-fat, no-sugar-added brand of ice cream and sorbet.

So how does Rebel compare to other ice creams, from Halo Top to Häagen-Dazs?

Check the chart below. And check out all of the wonderful flavors of ice cream and sorbet in the next section.

A CORNUCOPIA OF ICE CREAM & SORBET FLAVORS

Rebel’s line of keto-friendly ice cream flavors was created to be the lowest net carb ice cream to deliver the taste and texture of a creamy premium ice cream.

How can one relatively small company offer 28 flavors? We’re not complaining: Each one we’ve tried has delivered.

How many of these would you like delivered to your freezer?

Total sugar per pint is 0g-2g; each pint has 4g-8g net carbs. The sweeteners used are erythritol and monk fruit.

Most flavors have fewer than 0.5g of sugar per serving and are therefore sugar-free according to USDA standards. All flavors are lactose-free.

Rebel is the lowest glycemic index ice cream on the market. It’s also gluten-free.

Again, here’s the comparison chart of Rebel and other brands, from sugar-free to superpremium.

The brand also sells ice cream sandwiches, chocolate milk, and coffee milk. We can’t wait to try them.

Rebel Creamery co-founders, Austin and Courtney Archibald, said they initially tried a keto diet as an experiment to reduce their sugar intake and eat more healthfully.

One thing they missed, though, was ice cream.

“Homemade ice cream was a staple in our house and a favorite family activity. [But] existing commercial options were higher carb, contained sugar, and had an icy or chalky texture,” said Austin Archibald. “Rather than giving it up, we decided to ‘ketofy’ our favorite recipes.”

Seeking the creamy texture of real, full-fat ice cream, they worked with food scientists to develop the lowest net-carb ice cream that had the taste and structure of premium ice cream

“We ran a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign in December 2017. We were overwhelmed by the response! We hit our goal within 3 hours of launch and ultimately raised $80,000.

“We soon learned there were millions of people out there also looking to indulge in creamy ice cream without the negative impacts of sugar. Their demands and voices helped us get into thousands of stores across the nation [source].”

By 2020 the family start-up had reached $97 million in sales [source]!
