In between my trips to Mr. Frostys ice cream I try to snack on "healthier" bars and brands found at the supermarket--
My husband thinks I'm crazy.. but it's a way to feed my addiction without all of the calories. After trying some options-- here is my ranking of three specific brands:
1) Enlightened Ice Cream Bars
2) Yasso Ice Cream Bars
3) Arctic Zero Ice Cream
The first-- Enlightened Ice Cream.. I actually stumbled on these last summer at Shop Rite and have never looked back! The bars were invented by a fitness trainer-- all of the ice cream bars are between 80 to 100 calories and they taste like REAL ICE CREAM.. the sugar content in them is especially low and each bar has a decent amount of protien. My favorite flavor? Mint fudge swirl.
My second choice-- would be Yasso Ice cream bars.. you've probably seen them if you visit the Ice Cream aisle at the supermarket a lot. Yasso bars are made my Greek yogurt (you know I love that) and they taste really yummy. The calorie content is a little higher on some.. and the sugar too so that is the only downfall. But the taste is just as good as Enlightened.. in my opinion.
Finally-- I just tried out Arctic Zero for my first time.. and the amount of calories (75 per serving) was appealing as well as the fact it is lactose free, GMO free and has protein and fiber. I got the cookie dough flavor and the biggest issue? IT HAS NO TASTE. I guess that's what you get... so I will not be buying it again.
A great option INSTEAD that is dairy free are the SO Delicious ice cream pints made with coconut milk. They are SO good but a little higher (obviously) in calories and sugar. That's more of an indulgent treat. So are there any other additional brands you would recommend?? Let me know-- and let me know what you think-- when you taste test these!
