Nick’s is out to change the world by revolutionizing the snacks we love to make them better for us and still great tasting. By using sweeteners that are derived from plants they are able to provide the sweetness that we love without the calories or sugar rush we don’t.
The plant-based sweeteners that Nick’s uses include Stevia, Sweet Fiber, Erythritol, Monk Fruit, Birch Sugar, and Allulose.
In addition to using plant-based sweeteners, Nick’s also uses a plant-based fat called EPG. EPG gives the ice cream the creamy texture you would find in ice cream full of dairy fat, but without all of the calories. Compared to regular ice creams, Nick’s has about 1/4 to 1/3 of the calories.
For our Nick’s Ice Cream reviews, we received 6 pints of ice cream in the following flavors: Cherry Choka-Fläka, Cookies and Kräm, Sälta Karamell, Birthdäg Cake, Strawbär Swirl, and Butter Pekan. In addition, we received one Choklad Peanot Snack Bar. SHOP NOW >>
Out of the six ice cream flavors that we tried our favorites were the Cookies & Kräm, Sälta Karamell, and Butter Pekan. But we also really liked the Cherry Choka-Fläka and Birthdäg Cake ice creams as well. The Strawbär Swirl was our least favorite of the bunch.
More on each flavor is below.
The Cherry Choka-Fläka has a vanilla base with bits of cherry and chocolate flakes. We enjoyed the taste of this ice cream, but wish the base was cherry to give it more of a cherry taste. And we would also love more chocolate flakes. SHOP NOW >>
The Cookies and Kram was one of our favorite flavors! We loved the vanilla ice cream and cookie crumbles and just wish there were more chocolate cookie crumbles!
Nick’s says that the Strawbär Swirl has a vanilla ice cream base swirled with ribbons of strawberry. Unfortunately, we didn’t see any “ribbons” of strawberries and this ice cream tasted the most “fake” to me, and neither my husband nor son ranked it top on their list. SHOP NOW >>
The Sälta Karamell was another favorite! We loved the swirl of salted caramel throughout the caramel ice cream. This ice cream was especially creamy and we love that Nick’s uses caramel ice cream instead of vanilla as the base. SHOP NOW >>
I love the flavor of butter pecan ice cream, but I don’t love all of the calories that come with it. I was excited to try Nick’s Butter Pekan as it has 1/4 of the calories found in other brands.
We loved the creamy, maple ice cream base and chunks of pecans. It had all of the richness you would expect from Butter Pecan, but without the guilt. SHOP NOW >>
The Birthdäg Cake ice cream was a huge hit with my son. We loved that Nick’s uses cake batter ice cream as the base instead of plain vanilla as it tastes so much more like a real vanilla cake.
This flavor made me think of the yellow box cake mix flavor that we all love. And everyone enjoyed the festive sprinkles. SHOP NOW >>
The Choklad Peanöt Snack Bar is filled with nougat, caramel, and peanuts and covered in milk chocolate. It reminded me of a Snickers bar, but with fewer calories and carbs and less fat.
Nick’s also offers a Karamell Choklad Bar and a Krispi Nougat Bar.
Nick’s Snack Bars come in boxes of 12 and are currently $34.95. SHOP NOW >>
Nick’s currently has 23+ flavors including Butter Pekan, Coffee Karamell, Sälta Karamell, Mint Chokladchip, Peanöt Butter Karamell, Birthdäg Cake, Strawbär Swirl, Swedish Lemon Bar, Swedish Pistasch, Swedish Cookie Dough, Swedish Choklad, Key Lime Pie, Swedish Munchies, Rocky Fjord, Campfire Smorgs, Strawbar Cheesecake, Raspbar Swirl, Hazelnot Kram, Swedish Vanilj, Triple Choklad, Cherry Choka-Fläka, Peanöt Butter Cup, and Cookies and Kräm.
All of Nick’s ice creams are soy-free and have no added sugar.
Most of Nick’s ice creams are keto-friendly with only 4-7 net carbs per serving.
Nick’s offers 12 gluten-free ice cream flavors and 12 nut-free flavors, but all ice cream is processed in a facility that handles nuts and gluten.
Nick’s has partnered with Perfect Day to bring you 7 vegan ice cream flavors. These vegan ice creams are not dairy-free however, but they do use an animal-free dairy protein that is 100% vegan and made without any animal products.
Nick’s Ice Creams delivers low fat, low calorie, and keto-friendly Swedish-style ice cream directly to your door.
We love that this ice cream is sweetened with sweeteners derived from plants, is free from artificial sweeteners and synthetic ingredients, has no added sugar, and gets its creamy texture from plant-based fat. We also love that this low-net carb ice cream actually tastes good. Out of the 6 flavors that we tried, 5 of them tasted wonderful with no “fake”/chemical taste.
And while we love the taste of this low-calorie ice cream, buying online is more expensive than buying in-store and more expensive than most other “healthy” ice cream alternatives. In addition, shipping is extra when you buy fewer than 12 pints online. Buying Nick’s ice cream in-store is a less expensive option if you can find it locally and get the flavors you want.
Compared to other keto-friendly ice creams, Nick’s is similar to some by using plant-based sweetener alternatives, but what sets them apart is the plant-based fat that they use which adds to the creamy texture and reduces the number of calories per pint.
We would recommend Nick’s to anyone looking for a low-calorie, keto-friendly ice cream, those managing their blood sugar and want to enjoy a sweet treat without added sugar, and anyone on a diet. SHOP NOW >>
