does everyone know about this stuff? I found in kroger's today. get this: A pint of Ice cream, chocolate mint, peanut butter chocolate and several other flavors... ARe you ready for these calories??? 37 per serving!!! and you get 1/4 of the container! 150 if you eat the whole thing Sweet and good and definetly satisfied, plus it has 2 g of fiber and 3.4 of protein 0 fat and only 6 carbs it has no milk, gluten free and only organic cane sugar. It was 5.49 a bit pricey but the calories!!! unheard of !!! you could eat the whole thing and still be fine for the day!!!
Here is the ingredient list for mint chocolate chip: water, whey protien, cane sugar, chicory root, cocoa powder , guar gum, xanthum gum , natural flavors, sea salt and monk fruit. It tastes like ice cream!

    It seems to be basically frozen whey protein. It is definitely not ice cream and doesn't taste like it.

    i got the chocolate mint cookie one, flavor hinted at what it was supposed to be.
    Texture is like a freezer burned pudding pop.

    Tip: if you decide to try it, let it thaw a bit. It's texture is much better in a softened state.

    It is lactose free but not dairy free. It has whey protein in it. I wish I could eat it but I'm intolerant to dairy.

    It's ok if your in a mood to just eat a good bit in my opinion. But I think I'd rather just have a little bit of real ice cream or frozen yogurt.

    I liked that it was low cal, however, the taste was not creamy enough to pass as real ice cream for me. I prefer skinny cow ice cream sandwhich, they are about 150-160cals, creamy and addicting. (not diary free)

I made some root beer floats with diet A&W and had a full cup with no regrets... I had actually forgotten about this.. thanks for the post and reminding me.. going to stop at store this week and get some more :tongue:

    I tried the peanut butter chocolate flavor and couldn't even get one bite down. I tried several times to eat more of it over the next couple days, but couldn't handle it. I think the description of "freezer burn" for the texture describes it perfectly. I would MUCH rather have a small amount of regular or light ice cream.

    sounds tempting, but with sugar in it, it might not be something a diabetic should eat. I'll have to check it out

    uhoh - it has some of that horrible fat substitute stuff that makes the gut explode, doesn't it?
    never mind
    that isn't worth eating, no matter how it tastes

    I can't find 'Arctic Zone' online. I found 'Arctic Zero' at:
    http://www.myarcticzero.com/pints.php
    with nutrition facts at:
    http://www.myarcticzero.com/nutritionfacts.php

    Is Arctic Zone the same as Arctic Zero?

    So would eating the carton improve the taste?

    And from the sounds of it, there is no way Ice Cream appears on the label, couldn't be called that at all legally.

    okay, i guess I am more accustomed to healthy substitute type foods, Idk, tasted fine to me, no not ice cream but for the the chocolate flavor, and calorie amount it was fine to me, obviously I would rather have the real thing, but I am willing to make a sacrifice to save the calories

    I can't work out what 'yes' was in response to. Did you mean: "Yes Arctic Zone is the same as Arctic Zero"?

    I love this stuff! I can actually eat the entire pint without guilt or any kind of gastronomical issues. The fact that it has zero sugar makes it even better because my husband's diabetic, so I don't have to hide it from him!:happy:

    Just saw the Today show. This product has 68% more calories than it advertises. I say we let this company fold. LIARS!
