    Enlightened is another worthwhile low cal ice cream - I like their bars more than their pints

    Edy's has a slow churned that is lower calorie too. Am I right?

    You can find lot of ice creams for 130-200 calories per serving.

    I go the Halo Top route because I like to eat a lot. But my bank account suffers.

    Blue Bell is a regional brand with a No Sugar Added that is a good vanilla. I read that Breyers has a No Sugar Added but I've never seen it.

    Lucky you! You're in the right region for Blue Bell!.

    You fiend!

    I’ve been eating the Halo top it’s actually pretty good but gets expensive! Lol
    Going to try to make my own!

    I bought an ice cream maker. I tried to make something super low calorie. It was horrible. Never tried again and it's still sitting in my freezer after 2 years.

    My local Wal-Mart has been stocking the Blue Bell No Sugar Added for only a few months. It really is good. I prefer it over the Homemade Vanilla. Last week for the first time I saw it available in pints.

    Maybe speak to the manager of your local Blue Bell supplier and ask them to stock the NSA.

    Another vote for this. Its really is good vanilla. We also have Blue Bunny Sweet Freedom Sugar Free and its no where near the same creaminess and authentic vanilla flavoring as Blue Bell.

    I would get mad too, that's not a replacement for ice cream.

    Yeah I was always just like...a banana ice cream has the same amount of calories.

    But as someone else who can't moderate I get your choice more now. It's not a gallon of ice cream sitting in the freezer that you can pick at. Make it fresh, eat it all and enjoy.

    I'm eating some Halo Top as I type this. :D It's great but expensive. I also like the Breyers no sugar added Vanilla. Not that I mind eating sugar but it just has so fewer calories. It's very rich in vanilla flavor and has 80 calories per 66 grams.

    ya. I can make a decent delicious creamy fresh portion for 150-200 calories...Thats with yogurt. Surprisingly filling to though icecream doesnt fill me up. But ya its mainly the moderating thing that sold me. Being delicious is a bonus

    I think I'll take a walk to the store for some Halo Top now. Is it worth putting pants on for is the only question.

    Arctic Zero low cal cookies and cream is really good. And all the Yasso yogurt pops are delicious, not sure about their pints. Halo Top is hit and miss for me. Enlightened is super dense and takes more than 30 min to thaw but good. Guess I've tried a few....

    I don't eat dairy, so nothing I eat is technically ice cream, but my favorites for a sweet frozen desert fix are dairy-free halo top, nicecream, and various fruit sorbets.

    I have an inexpensive ice cream maker and I put Greek yogurt in it - delicious! Black cherry is my hubby’s favorite. I like plain mixed with green tea powder. I’ve added all kinds of fresh fruits and nuts. Peaches and walnuts are delicious together!

    No, it has a drum that you keep in the freezer that has some kind of gel around it. I just put a whole tub of Greek yogurt in and start it up (as it freezes, I sometimes stop it to scrape off the sides and stir). It has a hole in the top where you can add other things like nuts or berries. I love it - had it for years. Here is my machine:

    Sweet Freedom No Sugar Added.
    It is a chocolate covered vanilla ice cream bar.
    100-110 cal.
    Very good stuff.

    The protein ice cream from the volume eaters thread is amazing! I eat 2 batches a night. It's only 145 calories for the entire batch and it fills a 6 cup tupperware!
