No one should have to work that hard to enjoy dessert. Here are the steps I would recommend:
1.Buy Talenti Sea Salt Caramel
2.Prelog a serving into your cals for the day
3.When ready, remove from freezer, weigh said serving using a food scale
4.Enjoy
5.Never mention Arctic Zero or Walden Farms again unless it is to curse their creators.

eh….are you really going to eat fake ice cream and fake noodles for life????
Would you make the same argument to someone drinking NA beer?
That is a terrible analogy. I mean, not even close to the same thing.

Talenti Sea Salt Caramel. If it had double the calories it would still be worth it!
Talenti Sea Salt Caramel is a religious experience.

That was my go-to tonight!
I had 2 servings of the Toasted Almond and do not regret one delicious bite.
I love the Toasted Almond. Subtle, but that swirl is da bomb. AND I CAN'T FIND IT ANY MORE AND I'M ALL OUT!
The struggle is real.

Hey hey look at you with the profile picture, first time I see it. Awesome!!!therocpile wrote: »Vanilla Maple, Cookie Shake & Salted Caramel are really good. All the other flavors are awful.

By that time you already have eaten the same amount of calories than a serving of good ice cream or gelato.
Quality over quantity for me, thanks.
It would have been a pic of Talenti but I ran out

I tried it. The cookie shake was decent. I didn't mind it at all. Flavor is a little bland but not to bad. Only issue I have now is that all the stores that carry them have crappy basic flavors!0

Hahahaha I actually enjoy them. I rarely ever eat pasta anymore. Once in a great while. Can't really say I miss it. I will still eat normal ice cream on occasions. But this will be good when it's hot out and I need something cold! My son even enjoyed the Cookie Shake one!0 -

That is a terrible analogy. I mean, not even close to the same thing.
Because you assume everyone who doesn't eat "real" ice cream is doing it by choice, and not medical necessity. That's on you, not the analogy.0 -

What medical condition prohibits you from eating real pasta AND real ice cream? And the person who said they eat shiritaki noodles and arctic zero ice cream has this medical condition? They aren't just choosing low calorie substitutes to aid in weight loss?
I assume the medical necessity you are referring to with the NA beer is alcoholism? I still fail to see a solid connection.
I actually don't take issue with making dietary changes that take some getting used to. Diet soda is probably a good example, I started drinking it 20 years ago and I don't remember if I liked it straight away but I imagine it's a bit of an acquired taste for a lot of people. Now however I can't imagine drinking regular soda because it tastes awful to me. That, I think, is a comparable analogy to what NDJ was asking. Not NA beer which is usually a substitute for those with alcohol dependencies or who can't drink for other reasons. I drank O'Douls when I was pregnant and definitely wasn't something I was planning on keeping up forever.

I tried chocolate and it was gross...yes, shaved ice indeed. Something that has lowerish calories per serving is the Mars candy ice creams... Twix, M&Ms, Snickers & Milky Way. Those are really good but I have a difficult time putting the container down.0

I like it. I had the salted caramel this week and will buy it again. I let it sit out for about 20 minutes while I am doing something else, measure it out and then have a nice, cold snack to finish off my day.
It fits my macros that I can get a sweet cold snack that has lots of protein.
I am intrigued by the chunky version. I have not seen it around here, but will definitely be on the lookout for it.
I haven't even seen the Salted Caramel. Just Peanut Butter Cup, Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, and Cookie Shake. I don't want to try the basic flavors like choc/straw/vanilla. I have a feeling they would be exceptionally plain. I haven't seen the chunky versions either. I really want to try the Mint Chocolate kind0 -

So Delicious, Silk, & Lactaid also have dairy free ice creams. I haven't ever tried Arctic Zero & never plan to from all the horrible reviews I see on here.0 -
I think you should try a pint and decide for yourself! I have tried all their older flavors (my store doesn't carry the newer ones unfortunately) and have been pretty satisfied for the most part. My favorite is Cookies & Cream (or Cookie Shake now), Coffee, then Vanilla Maple; the others don't really do anything for me.
Is it as indulgent as full-fat ice cream? No, but considering the ingredients it's a good option if you're craving something cold, creamy, and filling (I recommend putting it in the microwave for around 30-45 seconds).
However, for the taste (and price) I would prefer to just whip up a just as filling protein shake for myself using my own protein powder, as it tastes fairly similar to whey powder (I actually think it's one of the main ingredients).
Some people hate it, others (like me) kind of enjoy it, but it will never replace ice cream.0 -
the problem is not the taste - its that you have it and you commit your night to the bathroom…….0

Most people here that have no dietary restrictions with dairy could easily fit in a serving of Turkey Hill, Breyers, or Edy's since they have lower cal options that range anywhere from 100-180 depending on flavors. I would rather eat something that has quality than be able to eat something in quantity that tastes like crap.0

I have celiac disease and experience lactose intolerance intermittently after accidental gluten exposure.
There are plenty of vegan ice creams out there based on cashew or coconut milk. I'd have them before I'd have Arctic Zero. Again, it's about mouth feel and fat.
I'd eat sugar free ice cream and have, but I need the fat in something I want as a frozen desert.
