    I've tried several of the flavors, they are really icy and kinda weird. In hindsight, I'd rather just save up my calories and eat some real gelato or ice cream.

    This had a weird grainy texture. Did not like. Poster above summed it up precisely! Frozen water soaked cardboard!

    I'm all about that stracciatella but salted caramel is a close second on my favorite list.

    I could see them tasting icy since water is the primary ingredient. I'm not a big ice cream eater, but I do like the Skinny Cow or Weight Watchers ice cream sandwiches occasionally. They are about the same calories as this, though not for a pint.

    I agree, the skinny cow ice cream treats taste really good and are easy to fit into ones calorie budget. The Trader joe's Soy creamy's are also really good, I think they are re-branded tofutties. I know soy ice cream isn't "real" but I honestly can't tell the difference except that I don't get all stuffed up in my nose from eating them.

    Alright guys lets not rain on her parade! If self control is an issue, stuff like artic zero is GREAT. I've never tasted it, so I wouldn't know if it's good but It could help some people curb cravings and feel like they aren't on a diet if they can eat a large portion yet still not exceed calorie goals. Sometimes a serving of real ice cream doesn't fulfill people cause of the half cup serving. So congrats on your discovery :-)

    actually, there are lawsuits pending against Arctic Zero because their flavors contain up to 68% more calories than stated on the label.

    read here and tread carefully. That 150 calorie pint could be closer to 300 and that really adds up.

    Might as well have real ice cream at that point. Slow churned vanilla from Dryers/Eddys is only 100 cals for a half cup, so 200 for a whole cup. Plenty satisfying and no law suits pending.

    I thought it tasted a bit like a frozen protein shake...not gross, but not good either. I did like something I found at Whole Paycheck called Almond Dream or something like that, more calories, but way better taste.
