Why Choose Fruit Gelato?
Fruit gelato provides quick-burning sugars that supply instant energy and help maintain a long-lasting feeling of fullness. Thanks to its nutritional benefits, it’s ideal as a mid-morning or afternoon snack and, during the hottest months, it can even replace a light meal.
This type of gelato is also suitable for nearly everyone:
- Children and seniors
- People with diabetes or celiac disease, depending on the recipe
- Pregnant women, as it may help reduce morning sickness thanks to its fresh and fruity composition
Just 100 grams of fruit gelato contains around 150 calories—only slightly more than a portion of fresh fruit, but much more satisfying in taste and texture.
A Natural Source of Vitamins and Wellness
Fruit gelato made with citrus fruits or strawberries is rich in vitamin C, which:
- Boosts the immune system
- Increases the body’s ability to produce antibodies
- Enhances the absorption of iron
Flavors like melon, apricot, or other colorful fruits are full of vitamin A, a powerful antioxidant that helps fight free radicals and contributes to skin and eye health.
A Smart Choice for Digestion, Diet, and Sports
Trying to lose weight? Replace heavier desserts with a cup of fruit gelato. It’s:
- Easy to digest: it stimulates gastric juices and takes only one hour to digest, compared to the three hours needed for a steak
- Low in fat and refreshing
- Ideal for athletes: it provides energy, helps with hydration, and doesn’t weigh you down
Happiness in Every Scoop
Beyond its physical benefits, fruit gelato has a positive impact on your mood.
A study conducted in London found that eating a scoop of gelato activates the orbitofrontal cortex, the part of the brain linked to pleasure and positive emotions.
In short, fruit gelato doesn’t just taste great—it actually makes you happier.
