This one-of-a-kind ice cream is enriched with vital polyunsaturated fats known as omega-3. Unlike the bad saturated fats found in traditional ice cream, polyunsaturated omega-3 fats have many documented health benefits. Based on cutting-edge nutritional science, Two Rabbits is specially formulated to enhance the absorption of these good fats into the body. Its unique blend of whey protein and collagen imparts a texture that is as creamy as ordinary ice cream and yet can rejuvenate your heart and blood vessels, help build muscles, promote glowing skin and hair, and even elevate your mood. This guilt-free treat promises to blow your mind, not your arteries.
