This new healthy ice cream has the same calorie count as an APPLE

Katie Mythen-Lynch

Imagine if there was an ice cream with all the smooth, creamy goodness of your go-to brand, with only a fraction of the calories.

Well get ready to have dessert EVERY DAY because every kid’s dream is about to become reality.

Brothers Charlie and Harry Thuillier have created Oppo; an ice cream with fewer calories than an apple, at just 85 calories for two scoops.

Yes; you are reading that correctly.

Oppo is officially 65% lower in sugar and calories than regular ice cream (that’s an EU authorised health claim) and it’s made with all natural ingredients; fresh milk, virgin coconut oil, and stevia leaf.

The available flavours (landing in Ireland in the coming fortnight) are Salted Caramel with Lucuma, Mint Chocolate with Spirulina, and Madagascan Vanilla and Baobab…

The tubs will retail at €6.50 each (about the same price as other luxury ice creams) and they’re about to be available in 180 SuperValu stores nationwide within the next few weeks, so keep your eyes peeled.
