    Thanks so much for posting this! I'm a carb junky and this will definitely hit the spot! I check the Arctic Zero store locator and there is a Whole Foods a mile and a half from where I work that sells it... Ekkkkkkkkk!!!!!

    I've never eaten a whole pint of ice cream. Just doesn't sound good.

    I'd rather have 1/2 cup of GOOD ice cream (like the Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie I had last night) than a whole pint of "diet" ice cream. Ick.

    You aren't alone. I tried this Arctic Zero stuff (it is not ice cream) out of curiosity. It is disgusting. I prefer to slowly savor some Ben and Jerry's or Trader Joe's real ice cream.

    MOCHA
    1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder
    1 cup unsweetened almond milk - vanilla or chocolate
    1 tsp decaf instant coffee crystals.

    Blend well, then prepare in either ice cream maker or ziploc method.

    MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP
    1.25 scoop vanilla protein powder
    1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
    1/4 tsp mint extract
    2-3 Tbsp chocolate chips

    CINNAMON SPICE
    1.5 scoop vanilla protein powder
    1 cup vanilla unsweetened almond milk
    Sprinkle of Cinnamon
    Sprinkle of Nutmeg
    Sprinkle of Cardamom (*optional)
    1/2 tsp vanilla (pure)
    Blend well, then prepare in either ice cream maker or ziploc method.

    APPLE PIE
    1.5 scoop vanilla protein powder
    1 cup vanilla unsweetened almond milk
    1 green apple, peeled & diced
    1 tsp of Cinnamon

    Sprinkle of Cardamom (*optional)
    1/2 tsp vanilla (pure)

    I tried the Vanilla Maple and the Chocolate Peanut Butter.. didn't much like either one and they both went down the drain (hubby doesn't know how expensive that little diet experiment was!).

    The taste seemed too fake to me and the consistency was more like ICE than ice cream.. am curious to know if I had pre-melted it a bit as some have suggested if I'd like it better, but would rather just savor the good stuff on the rare occasion I get it. If I'm paying that much for a pint, I'd rather splurge of REAL ice cream from the Creamery we have downtown!

    I tried to like it - I really did...but it tasted like watery fish paste. Aww bother. =(

    This. I'd rather use 150 calories on 1/2 c of REAL ice cream than on a pint of that crap.

    to each their own. i wasnt impressed the first time i tried it but once i did the ol nuke of the microwave method it changed my mind and all the flavors have grown on me. as for fish paste...i cant stand anything from the sea and cant even be in the same room when fish is cooking so this definitely isnt what i would consider watery fish paste. i personally LOVE it now. it is great in protein shakes too :) to whomever asked about the peanut butter chocolate...its awesome. i always throw some sugar free hersheys chocolate syrup on it too. yum yum.

    So, here I am eating a whole pint of cookies n cream ice cream. HAVE NO FEAR its a total of 150 calories, 24 carbs, 8g fiber, 20g sugar, and 14g of protein for the WHOLE PINT!!!! so, i even drenched it in sugar free chocolate syrup. If you havent heard of Arctic Zero ice cream replacement you are missing out and should search your local markets :) Actually you can go right to Arc tic Zeros website and they have a store locator. im in love. Pumpkin SPice is my favorite. ..
    I am dissapointed, I thought you were going to say you were eating a pint of Ben and Jerry's.

    :laugh:

    Just looked at the store finder and found out that the headquarters are only 10 miles from my house! It is all over the place here. I will have to try it. I can't believe I havent tried it before.

    I personally find Arctic Zero to be quite tasteless and gross. However, I LOVE Carbawhey soft serve style! There's a low carb market close by my place that makes it, and it's DELICIOUS! So much better than Arctic Zero. I'm just lucky to be in close proximity of the store, cause it doesn't look like there are many places that serve it soft-serve style.

    I might have to give Arctic Zero another shot though, maybe I just tried the wrong flavors. =)

    Love and Alohas,
