Even if you can find low carb ice cream at your store, it\u2019s often full of nasty chemicals. But it\u2019s so easy to make some sweetened whipped cream and freeze it, and it has the exact same consistency in the float as ice cream does. And these days, there are plenty of \u201cdiet\u201d root beers to choose from, many of which are made with healthier, all-natural sweeteners. So raise a frosty glass of low carb root beer float, because it won\u2019t raise your blood sugar.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<div id=\"zlrecipe-container-332\" class=\"zlrecipe-container-border\" >\n<div id=\"zlrecipe-container\" class=\"serif zlrecipe\">\n  <div class=\"recipeRating\"><div id=\"post-ratings-38108\" class=\"post-ratings\" data-nonce=\"9408bb8234\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_38108_1\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/asweetlife.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/asweetlife_stars\/rating_on.gif\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(38108, 1, '');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(3.9, 4, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer;
