McDonald's has spent years trying to create a healthy line so that all kinds of diners have a place. Although there is still a long way to go in fast food chains, some options seem to be better than others. The latest release in Spain: McFreezy.
McFreezy is an ice cream that is reminiscent of the classic Calippo, although it seems that this one has better ingredients. A fusion of mango and pineapple juices start the countdown to fall. Although this product has been sold in other European countries for several years, until now it had not had a place in Spain.
Ingredients and nutritional value
Basically, it is an ice cream made with fruit juices from concentrates mango and pineapple flavored fruit. This means that they use juices with a poorer nutritional profile, since they have undergone a dehydration process in order to preserve them for longer. It cannot be compared to a freshly squeezed natural juice, and possibly contains sugar to recompose it with a delicious flavor.
People with celiac disease can safely take McFreezy, since it is free of gluten-containing ingredients. Regarding its nutritional values, one serving provides:
- Energy value: 51 calories
- Protein: 0,4 grams
- Carbohydrates: 11 grams
- Fiber: 1,2 grams
- Sugars: 10 grams
- Fat: 0,4 grams
- Salt: 0,04 grams
Logically, being just concentrated juice, its main nutrient is carbohydrate. McDonald's does not specify the list of ingredients, so it is difficult to know if it has added sugar.
If we wonder if you can consume a mango and pineapple Mcfreezy during the diet, it could have a place as it is one of the low-calorie products. And if we also practice some sport, it will be even better. The fewer calories we eat, the faster we will lose weight.
Is it a healthy ice cream?
Those wondering if Mango Pineapple Mcfreezy will cause weight gain should first ask themselves how many calories are they consuming throughout the day.
As can also be seen in the previous section, this ice cream only has 51 calories per serving. Pineapple and mango naturally belong to the group of low-calorie products and do not lead to weight gain after calorie calculation. However, here we are not consuming the fruit in its natural state, but its concentrated juice. That is, this is not equivalent to the recommended pieces of fruit that must be taken in the day.
Anything in excess is harmful and excess of a food leads to weight gain. If we want a healthier option when going to McDonalds, McFreezy is a good option. Especially when compared to the famous McFlurry.
