30 DAY GELATO | ICE CREAM CLEANSE DIET

I'll let you know how it is after I eat it tonight.

Ok so I've just eaten it. It's actually really really yummy! It's a pretty mild lemon cream with a lemon and shortbread swirl. The shortbread is more like crumbs mixed in with a lemony zesty swirl. The lemon is not overpowering at all. All in all, I really enjoyed it! And at 160 cals and 5g protein a serving, it's a winner.

Hmmm tempted but I was burned by the B&J froyo. Was not a fan. What's the texture like?

i am curious about the texture as well.

also, is there a decent amount of the lemon swirl and crumble throughout? I hate when they skimp on the mix ins & it basically ends up being a whole lot of plain vanilla....

Texture was very creamy. Didn't even taste like yogurt at all, it tasted like a lemon cream ice cream... but not to be confused with sherbert. And there was a TON of lemon swirl/shortbread.

Here's a picture of it out of my carton:

Hmm maybe I'll give it a try. I love lemon cream.

me too! alright, that settles it. I am getting some tomorrow. I don't care that i still have 29 pints in my freezer. i will find room for it

Haven't posted in a couple days, but I didn't quit.

Monday I went to Coppa and had Carrot Cake and Haroset. At first I was disapointed by the carrot cake, but then I started to get nice big pieces of the cake, and the flavor really started to work, and just I was thinking it was great, the carrot cake ended and I was in to the Haroset. I really liked this. I'm probably going to go back sometime this week and get a pint. Of course if I do that, I'll probably grab a pint of the carrot cake as well.

In the evening I had Mikawaya Lychee. It was pretty good, not as smooth and creamy as Snoqualmie or Talenti. It's not the kind of thing I would just buy, but it tastes super Asian, so I'd definitely grab some for an Asian diner.

Tuesday, Final Day...

I had Tilamook Hazlenut & Salted Caramel in my protein shake. It's a decent ice cream, but thanks to all the other stuff I've been trying this month it has been relegated to utility duty.

In the afternoon I finished the Snoqualmie Honey-Cinnamon Custard. I think this may have been one of my favorites. If you live in the PNW, you need to check this one out.

And the final "ice cream" of my 30 day cleanse was Talenti Coffee Chocolate Chip. It was good, but after 30 days of eating such diverse flavors and textures, it was kind of a let down.

I think my five favorites, in no particular order,:
Talenti Blood Orange
Talenti Caramel Apple Pie
Talenti Egg Nog
Snoqualmie Honey Cinnamon Custard
Safeway Selects Key Lime Pie Frozen Yogurt

I'm kind of surprised that I didn't pick a chocolate or peanut butter... but I guess after a while they all start to taste the same. (though I'm still hoping to find/try the Talenti German Chocolate Cake).

Hey Guise

That is. That... THAT. IS. SO. MEAAAAAAN!!!! I WANT!!!! :sad:

1. Blue Bell Country Vanilla Yogurt (1/2c, 100)
2. Kroger Deluxe Vanilla Yogurt (1/2c, 100)
3. Purely Decadent Cherry Nirvana (1c, 320)
4. Talenti Sea Salt Caramel (3/4c, 360)
5. Talenti Sea Salt Caramel (1/2c, 240)
6. Talenti Coffee with Chocolate chip (1/2c, 240)
7. Ben & Jerry's Half Baked Froyo (1/2c, 200)
8. B&J Half Baked Froyo (again!) (3/4c)
9. Talenti Southern Butter Pecan (1/2c, 210)
10. Yeah. ^^^ That again! I may be addicted...
11. And again ^^^. LOL
12. Angie's Kettle Korn -- not ice cream
13. Talenti Sea Salt Caramel --
14. Haagen Dazs All Natural Strawberry, Talenti Coffee and Chocolate Chip, Talenti Southern Butter Pecan, and Haagen Dazs Caramelized Banana and chocolate.
15. Nada
16. Talenti Coffee Chocolate chip and Talenti Caramel Cookie Crunch
17. Talenti Caramel Cookie Crunch
18. Talenti Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup -- I went into this one knowing I wouldn't like it. I was wrong. VERY wrong. At first, I was overwhelmed by the sweetness of the milk chocolate ice cream but once I got a pb cup (second bite) it was on. ON. I loved that the cups didn't really 'crunch' and the pb was salty like good pb instead of sweet. Which perfectly balanced out the sweetness of the ice cream. LOVED IT. After the last few disappointments, I was VERY happy to have this one. I see this becoming a regular in my rotation even at 260cals for 104g. I want to say some said they had this and there weren't enough cups, but I had TONS. I want more. Now. But alas, bedtime. :yawn:

Hey Guise

o.O

I need dis.

This content has been removed.

SHOW OFF!!!

Seriously though, I need this in my life.

Not only did I eat the *kitten* outta some ice cream, but in the thirty days I did this "cleanse" I've:

lost 5.8lbs
lost 1" off my waist
set a new PR in my half-marathon time
made steady gains in my weight training

Well done!


I'm bulking and I haven't gained any weight. :laugh: So much for ice cream being fattening.

hey, me too! I was trying to bulk but I weigh exactly the same as day one.

I used to think I knew what irony meant, but then along came Allanis Morrisette, and then internet flamewars and the lines got confusing. But I'm going to go out on a limb and say THIS is ironic.

Every time I hear that Alanis Morissette song I just want to buy her a dictionary, because that word does not mean what she thinks it means...

i went with talenti fudge brownie tonight….that was da bomb!

I think I am the ONLY person who didn't like that one. I have a pint just sitting there with 3 more servings in it and no idea what I'm going to do with it. Maybe I can pawn it off on my kiddos...

You're not alone. I wasn't a big fan of that one either.

darn it. I was hoping that one would be an acceptable substitute for the German Chocolate Cake that i can't find anywhere...sigh....

Oh no, not at all. There is no comparing the two. German Chocolate Cake is is the Yankees, Fudge Brownie is the Bad news bears.

I was bummin' this morning, because I took that one to work, and I had planned to trade in my Tues/Thurs Pop Tart ice cream sandwich for a serving of German chocolate cake. My daughter is sick, so I'm working from home. :sad: I ended up having Ben & Jerry's milk and cookies for breakfast. Acrylics has good taste!

Guess we'll just have to keep trying.
