A low carb ice cream sandwich is the best cool-down treat for the hot summer weather and these ones are so easy to make!
*NOTE: the sprinkles in this recipe are for decoration HOWEVER you can get sugar-free sprinkles from The Sprinkle Company who has an Etsy shop. (Not sponsored)
For this recipe, I made an oat fibre based waffle but you can also make one that has a base of protein powder and the carbs will still be fairly low. We want to make sure the carbs aren’t super high on the waffle to leave room for the ice cream.

Speaking of ice cream, I used Halo Top for this delicious treat but you can use any other low-sugar / low carb ice cream that you like. There are a few keto brands as well that have no added sugars but when I went shopping – Halo Top was the only one that had around 10 net carbs per 3/4 cup. Everything else was higher.

I hope you all enjoy this recipe! If you want to make lower carb waffle, I also have a protein based waffle!
