    I live in Maine and love Gifford's Old Fashion ice cream! My favorites are blueberry, mint chocolate chip and raspberry!

    I'm obsessed with Halo Top right now. But I'd also say Haagen Daz peppermint bark, and B & J's cherry garcia.

    I've been eating something called "net zero " protein ice cream. It's more like an ice milk, but tastes pretty descent. Around 150 calories for an entire quart! I think the protein is around 7-10 grams per quart. Several flavors, however the brownie blast has a lot of sugar (20 grams!) I will usually mix in a scoop of casein protein( adds 110 cal and 24 grams protein) for a "sweet tooth " satisfying snack.

    I'm intrigued....where do you find this?

    I love Blue Bell. I can't buy it or I'd eat a bowl every night. I just stick to the real fruit popsicles whenever I'm craving something sweet and cold.

    I'm a Blue Bell girl too. Natural Vanilla Bean is my fav. The Halo Top Vanilla Bean is really good too and what I eat now.

    If I had to choose a favorite, I'd have to say either Blue Bunny or Kemps or, for premium brands, Steve's, Talenti and Halo Top.

    I have no clear cut favorites -- depends on the flavor and what I'm in the mood for. Lately my supermarket has added McConnells, which I like a lot. I also live near a Jeni's, which is good.

    Haagen Daaz and Talenti for full-fat. I have to say, Kroger's PS brand does put out some good things too from time to time. Their black raspberry chocolate chunk is OMG. For reduced fat, Breyers tends to be the best. For frankencream, I have only had Arctic Zero. No one sells Halo Top here yet??!

    Frankencream...bwahahaha. I love it. I actually like AZ because I like an icier ice cream. Halo Top tastes like real ice cream. It's hard to find here too, but occasionally I can. I saw that Kroger black raspberry chocolate chunk just the other day and thought it looked amazing.

    A local place, Henri's, for coffee ice cream. Strongest coffee ice cream I've ever tasted and it's awesome. They also have a cinnamon, a specialty toffee, and a wedding cake flavor that are outstanding. Tasted their Do-si-do last weekend and I think that'd be a win, too. Yet, somehow, they manage to completely destroy chocolate (to the point I actually spit it out) and most of their other flavors are too sweet for me.

    For chocolate sorbet, Paciugo's. Gelato Fiasco's is great, too, but I can never find it locally.

    For sweet cream ice cream, Cold Stone. Once it's mixed with strawberries, yellow cake, and roasted almonds it's perfect.

    For dulce de leche, Haagen dazs. Must have with banana.

    For rocky road, Baskin Robbins. Yeah, I know. There are plenty of more interesting versions out there, but they just don't suit me. It's a childhood thing.

    For the unusual, Jenni's, Cool Haus, and the new Central Market specialty ice creams.

    Same here. The cookies n cream. OMG!!!!!!! But they kept getting food recalls lately so I have switched to Edys, loaded chocolate brownie. I can't bring myself to eat another brand's cookies n cream.

    HEB has a really good cookies and cream flavor.

    Honestly, cookies and cream was the last non holiday BB pint I've decided to pick up. The only reason I finished the pint is because I was binging

    I want to pick up Kroger's blueberry pie flavor! Their chocolate eclair was amazing. I picked up so many of these when I was binging. I seriously went to Krogers almost everyday and picked up that and some Thinster salted caramel cookies.

    We have a local brand called Van Rixel Bros. that makes this dreamy lemon lavender ice cream, but it's only seasonal. If I trusted myself, I would stock up, but that would be a recipe for disaster.

    I also love: Blue Bunny Bunny Tracks, Talenti Sea Salt Caramel, and my guilty pleasure is a Sonic Snickers Blast.

    ETA: Tried Three Twins Mint Chocolate Chip a few nights ago and it was really good - it had all these interesting spices that added a depth to the flavor. Looking forward to trying more, especially since they sell single-serve cups. :smiley:

    We have a local dairy chain, Lourdes, that is to die for. My favorite is their mocha almond fudge, but the double dutch and the pecan praline are good, too. It makes logging kind of a nightmare, because they don't have nutritional information. I just try to find something similar in the database.

    Blue Bunny Sweet Freedom. Vanilla is fat free and only 90 calories per half cup. I can always fit in a scoop or two in my daily diary. ;)
