    First off, doubtful it's better than B&J... That's just LOL.

    Secondly, there are WAY better ice cream brands out there that make B&J look like a joke.

    Step your ice cream game up.

    I still have never had that :'(

    I saw it on the Target shelf and almost bought it, but decided to wait until my next shopping trip. That was right before they had their recall, and I haven't seen it on the shelf since...

    Story of my life...

    We have a storefront close to my place, just across the street from my L stop.

    Everyone has different tastes. If the op thinks it is as good as B&J, thengreat. Doesn't mean it will be for everyone else.

    No.

    Nice cream's cruelty free! Also, since it's made of fruit it's surely more healthy than processed ice cream from the tub?

    Why, because it doesn't contain milk? There's nothing wrong with drinking cows milk.

    I take it you are not familiar with Willet Dairy in Locke, NY, or other factory dairy farms?

    Last week I saw so many people mention a healthy version of ice cream, called nice cream. I was skeptical I thought no way would it be delicious.bbOh my gosh! As satisfying as Ben & Jerry's. And so easy to make and so healthy! I just placed an organic frozen banana in my food processor and added a fourth a cup of almond milk, and then I added a very light touch of nutmeg, and for a taste of chocolate chip, I added s teaspoon of organic cocoa nibs and for more of a little more Sweet, I added a half tablespoon of the most delicious brown sugar I have ever tasted, Organic Brow Sugar. I was shocked! I am a gorrmet cook and have never made this before. As satisfying and as smooth consistency as the creamy in Ben and Jerrys. I'm hooked. Half the calories and delicious. Next time I will be substituting walnuts for the chocolate nibs.

    How many calories was this?

    I would like to know this too. I'd be interested in seeing a side by side comparison of calories and macro's.

    No.

    Why not?
    For example, I am vegan. I love meatless versions of some dishes that I used to eat. I made it for my family and they didn't like it as much as I did. Different people have different tastes.

    About 90-100 calories for a banana, there is about 20-25 calories in the 1/4 almond milk (depending on if it is sweetened or not, if not its less) I don't know how many calories in the 1/2 tbsp sugar or cacao nibs but probably not much. So I think this dessert comes to about 150 calories.

    It's like people who eat Cauliflower pizza claiming it's better than Chicago Style Deep Dish, or other REAL pizza.

    I eat a lot of weird things and substitutes that get poo-pooed on here...so I don't want to poo poo on your banana ice cream. But I just don't get it because I don't consider bananas low calorie. I actually don't even eat bananas because they are 120 or so and I'd rather eat something else that keeps me fuller longer. And there are ice creams with that many calories per serving that help me hit my fat, protein, and carb macros better than a banana.

    Correct. I'm an Ice Cream snob.

    The consistency wouldn't even be close to the same. Compare the ingredients of ice cream or gelato against nice cream.

    So much this. If you like cauliflower pizza crust, that's one thing. But to say it's "just the same" as real pizza? No way. It just isn't. How can it be?
