    Nicecreams cruelty free! Also, ince it's made of fruit it's surely more healthy than processed ice cream from the tub?

    It depends on how you define "healthy." Processing doesn't automatically make a food bad -- I rather like the processing that gives us coconut milk from coconuts so we can enjoy coconut milk ice cream. Yes, it has fat -- but we do need some fat in our diets. And it has carbohydrates . . . but so does the banana.

    Why, because it doesn't contain milk? There's nothing wrong with drinking cows milk.

    The user name of the person you're responding to suggests they're vegan -- vegans have an ethical objection to animal suffering and exploitation, including that which takes place when milk is produced.

    I'm with you I love ice cream but I love the healthier version of nice cream it's just easier for me right now but no doubt I will enjoy some unbelievable Ben & Jerry's in the future,

    STOP

    lol

    Cherry Garcia, New York Super Fudge Chunk, Strawberry Cheesecake, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Boston Cream Pie, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and the list goes on ....and we must not forget the retired flavors: Georgia Peach, White Russian, Wild Main Blueberry and my favorite>Holy Cannoli.

    I think what they meant by, "STOP" is, stop saying it's healthier/low calorie, because it's not.

    Don't you just love the people here? 95% are amazing! The remaining 5 %. Ignore.

    So, ignore accurate information and anything that conflicts with what you want to hear? Right :D

    First off, doubtful it's better than B&J... That's just LOL.

    Secondly, there are WAY better ice cream brands out there that make B&J look like a joke.

    Step your ice cream game up.

    Everyone has different tastes. If the op thinks it is as good as B&J, thengreat. Doesn't mean it will be for everyone else.

    I still have never had that :'(

    I saw it on the Target shelf and almost bought it, but decided to wait until my next shopping trip. That was right before they had their recall, and I haven't seen it on the shelf since...

    Story of my life...

    I take it you are not familiar with Willet Dairy in Locke, NY, or other factory dairy farms?

    Last week I saw so many people mention a healthy version of ice cream, called nice cream. I was skeptical I thought no way would it be delicious.bbOh my gosh! As satisfying as Ben & Jerry's. And so easy to make and so healthy! I just placed an organic frozen banana in my food processor and added a fourth a cup of almond milk, and then I added a very light touch of nutmeg, and for a taste of chocolate chip, I added s teaspoon of organic cocoa nibs and for more of a little more Sweet, I added a half tablespoon of the most delicious brown sugar I have ever tasted, Organic Brow Sugar. I was shocked! I am a gorrmet cook and have never made this before. As satisfying and as smooth consistency as the creamy in Ben and Jerrys. I'm hooked. Half the calories and delicious. Next time I will be substituting walnuts for the chocolate nibs.

    How many calories was this?

    I would like to know this too. I'd be interested in seeing a side by side comparison of calories and macro's.

    No.

    Why not?
    For example, I am vegan. I love meatless versions of some dishes that I used to eat. I made it for my family and they didn't like it as much as I did. Different people have different tastes.

    About 90-100 calories for a banana, there is about 20-25 calories in the 1/4 almond milk (depending on if it is sweetened or not, if not its less) I don't know how many calories in the 1/2 tbsp sugar or cacao nibs but probably not much. So I think this dessert comes to about 150 calories.

    It's like people who eat Cauliflower pizza claiming it's better than Chicago Style Deep Dish, or other REAL pizza.
