Anyone Treat Themselves To Ben And Jerry's ?

I love that ice cream, and so many flavours out there. I am wondering if anyone else sometimes treats themselves to a half tub or tub ?

    I had a couple while I was away the last few weeks. I didn't do it too often because I was aware of the 1000 calorie per tub, but had them both on days where I didn't eat that much anyway. Very much enjoyed.

    Totally had some of their brownie cheescake ice cream last night, and it was DELICIOUS.

    True, it is expensive here in the Uk too, over £4 a tub, but gosh does it taste nice. It would be nice if it were lower calorie, not sure if the yoghurt versions are any better calorie wise ?

    I buy the baby containers of it now and then. Those two guys make me so darn happy.

    Yummy Cherry Garcia but no I don't but I do take 2 spoon fulls when my husband is eating some just to stop the craving.

    I try to avoid it but it is half price in the UK (in tescos!) at the moment so I just couldn't resist picking up some cookie dough tonight for my "special treat".

    Just had some this afternoon! Peanut Butter Cup:smile: And surprisingly, I weigh out one serving and don't eat any more. Which is a big change for me because I use to just sit down with the tub and a spoon.

    yeah, the fro yo stuff is lower cal and really good -- and this is coming from a guy that has ice cream fairly regularly. it's a go-to evening snack.

    It's expensive in the states too! I was going to buy some the other night, but pickded up frozen yogurt instead. I just know the quilt I would have felt, becasue I would have eaten the entire tub. I say it you want some Ben and Jerry's, eat some Ben and Jerry's.

    Half baked two twisted is my favorite! But I don't ever buy it because I would eat the entire thing.

    I like their Greek Yogurt Flavors. :) But they're so high in cals for only a measly 1/2 cup, that I do it only when I have WAY more calories than I know what to do with.

    I love Ben & Jerry's so much I had them make my wedding cake last year :) I tried their Greek Frozen Yogurt a month or so ago, but sadly, that is the last time I have had it.

    OMG! LOVE pnut butter cup ice cream. Just drooled on the floor a little!

    I am a SUCKER for their Blueberry & Vanilla Graham flavored frozen Greek yogurt... I will measure myself out a 1/2 cup (one serving) and then put the container away so that I don't eat it all in one sitting... lasts alot longer that way. :)

    Sometimes I will have more than one serving if I have the extra calories though! :P

    I had an entire container of the banana peanut butter Greek froyo last night... OK, so it was one of those itty-bitty 200 calorie containers, but it was GOOOOOOD!!! :)

    It's only about 50cals less per serving, but it is a smidge better for you

    Yeah, I love the stuff. Red Velvet Cake, Cherry Garcia & Boston Cream Pie are my faves. I eat anywhere from 1 or 2 Tbsp to half the pint. Usually somewhere in between those really. It's worth it. I'd rather pay more for it and eat less than eat more of some kind that's just so-so. Cheaper ice-cream just tends to piss me off now.

    Not me. If I want to treat myself to ice cream I stick with something with fewer cals in it like a soft serve cone, Schwanns rasp or orange cream bars or fudge bars. I get that sweet tooth fix and I don't blow my cals for the day!

    The guys I sit near at work go to the Ben & Jerry's ice cream shop down the street at least once a week. Thus far, I've resisted the invitations, but I know one of these days I'll wind up going. Maybe I should start doing some extra crunches NOW. ;)

    I love Ben and Jerry's. We make the best threesome. However, it's difficult to resist eating it all and a tad expensive

    Yeah, I sometimes do. When it's on sale I like to buy a few tubs of it. My favorite flavors are Red Velvet Cake, Milk And Cookies, and Peanut Butter Tracks (which I haven't found in forever :sad: ). I would rather have high calorie icecream that I can sit down and really enjoy vs. some low calorie icecream that isn't as good.

    I just bought the Strawberry Cheesecake and the Raspberry Fudge Greek Yogurt flavors at the grocery this week. Paid $3.28 each at my Walmart for the pints. Last night, I tried a spoonful (not lying! just ONE!) of the raspberry fudge and it's AWESOME!!!!! I can't wait to have more!!! :)
