Gillz Banting - Our Story
Gillz Banting is a family business consisting of husband and wife team, Gillian and Ian Black, with the vision of providing sugar-free, Ice Cream and Desserts that are delicious, safe for those with diabetes, and guilt-free for those on a sugar-free diet, whatever the reason.
Gillian's banting journey hasn't been an easy one...
"I managed to lose 20kg in 2017, but at that time I was treating banting as a diet and not a lifestyle. This resulted in me “falling off the wagon” and gaining all the weight back again.
The following year I tried again - with the lifestyle mindset.
Everything was going wonderfully, and then the lockdown happened in March 2020.
The stress and uncertainty brought on by the pandemic caused me to lose my focus...
But now I’m back on track, focused, determined, and ready to get healthy.
We started Gillz Banting after discovering how difficult it is to find sugar free, healthy ice cream (and other desserts) at reasonable prices.
Unfortunately, sugar free ingredients are notoriously expensive, but we are always looking for new ideas, evolving and making improvements to our recipes, and remain committed to producing delicious home made, preservative free, healthy ice cream that is made with love, made to order, and not mass produced.”
With every tub, you are supporting local families, and indulging in a guilt free treat!
