France sees surge in low‑calorie matcha ice cream recipes amid heatwave

Fitness influencer Justine Gallice posted a matcha ice‑cream recipe that totals only 88 calories. The three‑ingredient mix – skyr (or plant‑based skyr), honey and matcha powder – is blended, frozen for at least four hours and yields a dessert low in fat and sugar. Gallice said, “Autant la canicule, c'est non, autant cette recette, c'est un grand oui !” highlighting its appeal during France’s current heatwave.

A separate guide offers six sugar‑free, homemade drinks to replace sodas, including cucumber‑lemon‑mint water, honey‑sweetened lemonade, peach iced tea, watermelon‑basil sparkling water, ginger‑lemon ginger ale, and a mango‑coconut smoothie. All are promoted as refreshing, calorie‑light options for hot weather.
