30 DAY GELATO | ICE CREAM CLEANSE DIET

Day 1 - Haagen-Dazs Caramelized Banana Chip (10/10). Great flavor & creamy texture. Highly recommend if you like banana!
Day 2 - Ciao Bella Pumpkin Sea Salted Caramel (8/10). Flavor is spot on, but it has a pumpkin puree like texture I didn't care for. However, very macro friendly! 190 cals - 9f/24c/3p per serving
Day 3 - Talenti - Toasted Almond (currently consuming). 230 cals - 10f/27c/7/p per serving. Giving this one a 10/10 (I'm biased towards almonds though). Chopped almonds, brown sugar & maple syrup swirl in a sweet cream base. Good mix of salty & sweet. nom nom nom.
Day 4 - Three Twins Butterscotch Pecan - Currently Eating, will edit after consumed. Heavier macros on this one... 230 cals - 15f, 21c/3p. Flavor is really good on this one. Another mix of sweet and salt. However, the texture kinda sucked.... I was expecting it to be much creamier considering the 15g fat per serving. I guess the majority of the fat came from the chopped pecans though. I personally wouldn't waste 60g fat on a whole pint again moving forward. 7.5/10
Day 5 - Maple's Organics Cardamom Ginger - Great macros on this one... 150 cals - 9f/17c/3p. I had my hesitations about this one, but damn... 10/10! Very refreshing flavor, texture was very creamy! Cant beat that, good macros & good flavor. Highly recommend this one! **Just got to near the bottom and there was a huge candied ginger piece, motherofpearl it was yummy!
Day 6 - Talenti - Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip - 230 cals - 13/f/25c/4p. Really nice flavor, very creamy. Tastes just like a Dark Chocolate Raspberry candy bar. Raspberry Gelato with Dark chocolate shavings which provide a nice crunch, but melt in your mouth since they're so thin. I would give it a 9.5/10, but this is because I still can't get that damn cardamom ginger out of my mind.
Day 7 - Talenti - Sicilian Pistachio - 210 cals - 10f/27c/4p. Nice flavor... standard pistachio flavored ice cream base, with chewy pieces of pistachios. Good balance of sweet & salty. I recommend if you have a thing for Pistachios or nut flavored (giggity) ice creams. Stacked up against the Toasted Almond by Talenti, it ranks below it. However, still a solid one overall. 9.5/10.
Day 8 - B&J Red Velvet Cake - 250 cals - 13f/30c/4p. Big red velvet fan here, so my expectations were rather high. Nice red velvet cake batter base with cream cheese swirl. Also has a good amount of red velvet cake piece thrown in for a chewy texture (highlight feature of this IMO). I thought it was good, but not worth the due to the amount of calories for the pint as a whole. My review could also a bit biased since my expectations were rather high but actual taste and such came in below expectations...8.5/10
Day 9 - Ciao Bella Brown Sugar Caramel - 230 cals - 11f/28c/4p. Initially I wasn't too impressed with the flavor from the start, but as I got deeper into it... it did grow on my. I'll be honest my expectations were high for this one but something was a bit off about the flavor. I didn't really get any "brown sugar" taste from it... it tasted more like a coffee with caramel or something of the sort...So much so that I checked the label to see if that was in the ingredients. Oddly enough there was a tapioca syrup in it (not sure if that would explain it). Sorry guys... I know yall were hoping this one would be a winner, but I'm docking points for the WTF flavor factor despite it still being flavorful. 8/10.
Day 10 - Ciao Bella Malted Milk Ball - 240 cals - 13f/28c/4p. This one delivered.... My lord! So creamy and delightful! Imagine a Chocolate Malt Shake ice cream base with crunchy malted milk balls all throughout. It made me reminisce of Halloween as a young kid and getting the malted milk ball treats. The only downside was that is that I finished it and didnt have any left
....Highly recommend this one! 10/10
Day 11 - Ciao Bella Roasted Hazelnut - 230 cals - 12f/20c/4p. This was a fairly unique one.... Very smokey taste it to (uh derrrrrrr) with quite a creamy texture as well. Compared to the other nut themed ones (Talenti Pistachio & Toasted Almond) I think it ranks below it. Also, there no chunks or pieces which made it slightly disappointing. Again, I'm comparing it against the other nut related gelato's I've recently had. I'll give it a 8.5/10, stacking it up against it's nutty brethren. However, if you don't have high standards like me, or you haven't experienced the awesomeness that is Talenti Pistachio, Toasted Almond etc. I'm sure you'll quite enjoy it!
Day 12 - Talenti Double Dark Chocolate - 210 cals - 10f/28c/4p. Nice flavor, very rich dark chocolate flavor. Also nice that it hard crunchy dark chocolate pieces in it for added texture. Pretty standard here.... It was quite delightful, but won't make it into my top 5 since I'm not the hugest chocolate fan. Highly recommend if you're someone who really likes chocolate (JOEHENNY). 9/10.
Day 13 - B&J Peanut Butter Fudge Core - 300 cals - 19f/28c/6p. WOW.... So much going on here! Texture had so many different layers.... creamy base, crunchy peanut butter cups, and chewy peanut butter fudge core. Honestly, this one breaks top 3... if it were a women I'd marry it. If you like chocolate and peanut butter, you need to try this one. Seriously... the only downside was fitting the whole pint into my macros hahaha... not recommended eating a whole pint unless you're having a YOLO day, or you have a very high fat goal (81g for whole pint). 11/10!
Day 14 - Talenti Sea Salted Caramel - 240 cals - 11f/38c/4p. Great! I already knew going in I would like it... Great caramel flavor, very creamy. Reminded me of those caramel bullseye candies as the gelato base, with the caramel truffles for added texture and a crunchy gooey surprise (giggity). 10/10... I highly recommend if you have yet to try it! This has made my top 5 along with the B&J PB Core, Maple Organic's Cardamom Ginger, and Ciao Bella Malted Milk Ball.
Day 15 - Oberweiss Banana Fudge Walnut - 240 cals - 16f/27c/3p. Great flavor and texture. Oberweiss is know locally for their superior dairy and abundance of always fresh cream. Banana ice cream base with gooey chocolate fudge swirl and salted walnuts makes this another nice balance of sweet and salty. I'll give it a 10/10, due to the variety of flavors and textures going on. I would highly recommend it if you like sweet & salty types of ice creams. It will not break into my top 5 though.
Day 16 - Talenti German Chocolate Cake - 240 Cals - 11f/32c/4p. Great flavor, very similar to a German Chocolate Cake (derrrrrrr). Chocolate Gelato base with caramel swirl, chopped candied pecans, coconut shreds. 10/10. This would be ideal for anyone who is a fan of German Chocolate Cake, or chocolate in general I feel. This will enter into the top 5 ahead of Talenti Pistachio. I also believe this to be an exclusive flavor to Target, so it's a tough find!
Day 17 - B&J Rockin Blondies - 250 cals - 15f/26c/4p. Brown Sugar Ice Cream base with Blonde Brownie Pieces & Butterscotch Toffee Flakes. This one was a bish to find since it is apparently exclusive to Target as well. I had really hip hopes due to this sexy flavor description, but I was not impressed....I only got like 3 brownie pieces, the ice cream was not nearly as sweet as I was anticipating. Eh.... I can't really say anything that stands out about it. It was decent, but nothing impressive. On par with the 7.5 I gave the other Three Twins Butterscotch. Sorry guise! I guess I gotta stick to brunettes....
Day 18 - Haagen-Dasz Bourbon Pecan Praline - 260 cals - 17g/27c/4p. Pretty good pretty good. Really strong Bourbon taste from the first bite. Was not expecting it to be that heavy (I hardly drink so that's probably why). Bourbon Ice cream base, brown sugar swirl with chopped pecan pralines. Very creamy with a nice variety of textures from the crunchy pecans and gooey swirl ... I'll give it a 9.5/10. I would recommend giving it a try if you can find it (was pretty difficult for me.. only one store).
Day 19 - Talenti Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup - 260 cals - 13f/32c/5p. I really liked this one to be honest. Some of the feedback I've read regarding it wasn't that great, but I found it to be rather satisfying. It wasn't like a typical Milk Chocolate Reese's PB Cup like I've seen people compare it too....but I did find it tasted similar to a Dark Chocolate Reese's PB Cup It was sweet, but not overpowering. I'd honestly give it a 10/10. Chocolate base, PB swirl, and mini PB cups. Like like like! If you're a fan of PB give it a whirl.
Day 20 - Talenti Caramel Cookie Crunch - 220 cal - 10f/31c/4p. Was not digging this one right off the bat, but the more I dug in....flavor got much better. I think it was the chocolate chips that weren't jivin' with me as it was a very strong cocoa flavor.Crunchy chocolate chip cookies with Dulce De Leche swirl in a vanilla base. The flavor did grow on me, but IMO it is not as good as it's sister Sea Salt Caramel Truffle. Still will give it a 9/10 though.
Day 21 - Talenti Banana Chocolate Swirl - 200 cals - 9f/30c/3p. This one was great! Banana base, melt in your mouth thin chocolate shavings and caramel swirl. Pretty good macros too. Since I've also had the HD Caramelized Banana Chip... I believe this one heavily outweighs the Haagen-Dasz both in macros as well as flavor. Pick up if you are a fan of banana flavoring. 10/10.
Day 22 - Roundy's/Mariano's Caramel Latte - 190 cal - 8f/27c/4p. This is a store brand local to the IL and WI area if I'm not mistaken. I'm a big fan of their stores in general as I do the bulk of my shopping at their "Mariano's" brand store, which just so happens to have in an in-store gelato, coffee and a handful of other counter top areas for sushi, bbq, etc. I've only had their gelato once and it was Pumpkin Spice (divine btw)... so I figured I'd give this a whirl. Macros on this brand are really good for a pint sized serving. It does not skimp on flavor either, despite the lower cals. Italian espresso gelato based with caramel swirl. Very creamy, with a fair amount of caramel swirl mixed in. I'm not the largest coffee flavored ice cream fan, but I felt this one was rather tasty. I'll give it a 9/10. Recommend picking it up if you're in the IL/WI area, like coffee, and gelato
Day 23 - Baskin Robbins Baseball Nut - 220 cals - 11f/26c/3p. Nommies! This was great! Vanilla ice cream base, whole salted cashew chunks and a black raspberry swirl. Lots of flavors and textures: vanilla base was very creamy, chew/crunch from the salted cashews, and then the tartness from the black raspberry swirl. 10/10 on this one IMO! So many flavors and textures slappin me in the face.
