-
Despite their healthy intentions, many people still have a bowl of ice cream in the freezer somewhere. After all, there are times when you really need some ice cold comfort food. And as a luxury dessert, there is nothing better than a bowl of ice cream â € “except two containers, perhaps ... The annoying thing about ice cream is that it contains an enormous amount of calories, and therefore has a significant impact on your energy balance.]
-
Precisely to counter that problem, there is now a new type of ice cream on the market: Oppo ice cream. The claim of this brand is that the ice cream is slimmer and healthier. Interesting for all ice cream lovers - but how healthy is Oppo ice cream really?
What is Oppo ice cream?
-
The name Oppo comes from â € ˜oppositeâ € ™, opposite. Normally, healthy and enjoyment are seen as contrasting ideas: Oppo's idea is that they are brought together! To that end, the brand has launched various types of ice cream.

In Dutch supermarkets you will find three flavors: Madagascan Vanilla, Salted Caramel and Colombian Chocolate Hazelnuts. The manufacturer promises on the packaging that all these flavors contain less sugar, so you can enjoy them healthily.
What's in Oppo ice cream?
-
The basis of Oppo ice cream consists of fresh milk and a little cream. For some extra fats there is coconut oil in it. Hardly any sugar is used to sweeten the product. Most of the sweeteners are made up of stevia and erithritol, a sugar alcohol that provides hardly any calories. In addition, there is a little apple extract in the product.
-
The different flavors are also created with natural flavoring agents. The vanilla ice cream uses natural vanilla extract. Salted Caramel's caramel flavor comes from the lucuma fruit, which is comparably sweet. Cocoa and hazelnuts are used in the chocolate ice cream. All in all, there are no ingredients in it that are really unhealthy!

How many calories does Oppo ice cream contain?
-
The natural ingredients, however, is only one claim of Oppo ice cream. The low number of calories is also promoted in large letters on the packaging. How much of that is correct? The Madagascan Vanilla contains 74 kcal per 100 ml, the Salted Caramel 75, and the Colombian Chocolate 85.
-
To get a little idea of how much that is, we can best compare it with other ice cream. Standard vanilla ice cream from Albert Heijn contains 220 kcal per 100 grams. Note: this is measured in grams, not in volume: 100 ml contains even more energy. Even with 100 ml of Ben Jerry's you are at 230 kcal in no time. So it is true that Oppo ice cream is relatively slim!
Is Oppo ice cream healthy?
-
Is Oppo ice cream, all in all, healthy? As always, that depends a bit. It is certainly a healthier choice than standard ice cream, with over three quarters less sugar and less than half the calories. So if you really feel like ice cream, you better buy a container of Oppo.

On the other hand, Oppo ice is also not actively healthy. It mainly contains many substances that are â € less badâ € ™, and few that have a really beneficial effect. The healthier reputation does not mean that you can eat this ice cream unlimited. Keep seeing it as an occasional bonus, as you would with normal ice cream.
