Do you have any idea whether a diabetic could consume these? What is the caloric count? Any idea?
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie,
DeleteI don't know the exact calorie count but the only sweetner is honey (you could use stevia) and the soy icecream may have some sugar in it. You could swap it for a diabetic friendly icecream if available.
