Wink Ice Cream (Or other low calorie brands)

Halo Top gets such great reviews, but I tried several and they all had a weird after taste that I couldn't get past. A few spoonfuls of each and they wound up in the trash.

I prefer the Edys Slow Churned thats also mentioned. It's real ice cream and tastes like it to. I go with the plain vanilla.

Also, I think it's Blue Bunny, but they have a mini ice cream cone with vanilla ice cream and a caramel swirl that's relatively good on calories. If you want the taste/crunch of a trip to the ice cream shop, I highly recommend it. The trouble is eating just one!

The new Arctic Zero pints are actually good. Used to hate them. Tried the vanilla maple, cookie shake... etc - thought they were all just terrible lol but the new chunky ones especially Brownie Blast / Snickerdoodle are actually great in my opinion. Halo Top is the bomb too but can't find it locally where I live unfortunately. Found AF at my local Walmart.

My goto treat lately has been Dove's snack size chocolate covered strawberry gelato bars. Sooooooo gooood. 150 calories each.

2 cups are in a pint of ice cream right? Edy's slow churned has a pretty great tasting Neapolitan ice cream that has 90 cals/serving which would be 360 cals for a pint. They have other flavors that stay right near 100 cals/serving (1 serving is a half cup).

I've tried that Artic Zero stuff and its pretty gross.

Looks like a store near me sells that Halo Top & Enlightened but it sucks paying $7.00 for a pint...

$7 per pint? Where are you buying them from? Halo Top at Wegman's (which is usually more money) costs just over $5 but I can get Enlightened for $4.49... still a bit pricey for a pint of ice cream, but not $7! They also have coupons online for $1 off two pints, which would bring it to about $4 each

Hy-Vee (mid-west grocery store) is the only place around here that sell those types of food and has them in the Health Food section and use that as a way to jack up the price. I'll have to look for those coupons.

I like the skinnycow ice cream sandwiches, and I am partial to the mint. :-) It is big enough to satisfy my sweet tooth, and it tastes good too! Having something that is pre-packaged also eliminates the chances that I would over or underestimate the calorie content of my food. So there is definitely something to be said in terms of helping in the convenience and discipline departments.

Last night I went to our local grocery store (and we live in a small town, so not much variety in terms of the brands others have mentioned) and I saw that Blue Bunny has several fat free/sugar free options. I ended up settling on a caramel toffee crunch. It has 90 cal/serving. When I scooped it, it wasn't as creamy or soft as some other ice creams I have had, but the taste was pretty good. It will do the job. Because it's a big name brand, it is reasonably priced and can be found just about anywhere, so you won't have to go to a specialty store like Whole Foods and pay $8/pint.

Wink is a waste of money and calories... literally the grossest ice cream-like dessert I have tried. Its basically an overpriced pint of ice.

Arctic Zero isn't bad for the calories, but I typically fit Edy's slow-churned into my day if I really want ice cream since the macros are great.

I don't eat sweets very often, or in quantity, so I'd rather enjoy good quality "real" treats

Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches. Chocolate, twist, vanilla, mint. They're all good, about 150 calories/sandwich.
