Arctic Zero ice cream, don't bother

So I went to my local Nuggets market and they had some new ice cream, Arctic Zero, near the Halo Top. I thought the flavors (cookies and cream and salted caramel) sounded great; it was cheaper than Halo, and has less calories. Win, right? No, just no, this is a frozen protein shake. Not creamy, not flavorful, and has the horrible artificial sweetener aftertaste. I could forgive the artificial sweetener taste if it tasted good. It tastes like a really watered down cookies and cream protein shake. I really regret the $10 for 2 pints

Oh no. I have an unopened pint in my freezer I was looking forward to trying. I drink a lot of diet pop ( I know...I know...) so the artificial sweetener taste might not bother me as much as others. Is Halo Top any good?1

I've liked all of the Halo Top I've tried so far. I haven't regretted any of those

Thanks for the heads up!0

I agree! Arctic Zero was a complete disappointment.0
-
I am weird. I actually love artic zero!6

Rather blend shake with Orgain plant-based chocolate protein powder, unsweetened almond milk and frozen banana slices0

I like Arctic Zero. The chunky pints are better, but they have a few more calories. I agree that Halo Top is better, though.1

The cookie dough pint wasn't a total abomination.
Their "creamy" pints are a complete waste2 -

Have you seen the Orgain almond milk? I picked some up last night. 10g protein and 100 calories per cup.
I have a freezer full of Artic Zero. Hate them. The only good ones are the ones with something in them. Like the 300 calories a pint ones. And they still are meh. I need to find Halo Top.0 -

Their store locator says it's at my Kroger. Either it's invisible or they lied.

I would rather have a serving of regular gelato or ice cream.4

I just eat ice cream. I tried Halo Top a few times and it gave me bad gas each time. I suspect the sugar alcohol and possibly the added fiber. I don't see what exactly is the source of their fiber. If it's chickory, then that's just powerful fart fuel for me.3

I am so lucky. a) I actually like arctic zero b) my local grocery outlet has it for $2.50 a pint -- sorry, gotta go break into the key lime pie flavor!1

I've seen plenty of post on here about both Artic Zero and Halo Top so I really didn't have any high expectations when I bought two pints the other day to try of Artic Zero. I mostly just got them to have something cold that had less calories than my regular ice cream and pretty much any of my other go to treats. I got Cookie Shake and Cookie Dough Chip. I liked both but more so the Cookie Dough Chip because it has little chunks of cookie dough and chocolate chips and that seems to satisfy me a little more. My boyfriend liked that one better as well. When he tried the Cookie Shake he asked if it is supposed to be just flavored ice and said "Well....it's different." haha
I'll probably try some other flavors in the future but here a pint is $4.68 (if I'm remembering correctly) and my real ice cream is cheaper. haha
@brightresolve I'm so jealous of that price! haha1 -
Halo top is VERY good and only good arctic zero I have had was brownie blast.0
-
It's so watered down. It's like an icee with barely any flavor. That is why it is so low in calories. It's mostly ice. Literally.3

When I wanted ice cream arctic zero was a complete disappointment. However I do like banana and someone let me in on a little secret. If you peel a very ripe banana put it in the freezer. Once frozen, blend it up really good it turns nearly creamery almost like an ice cream put a little PB2 on top, it's amazing!1
-
When I want ice cream every now and then, I just get my Talenti and call it a day. I'm a fan of just eating well the majority of the time and then having the real thing when I want ice cream as a treat. Not a big fan of doing the lower calorie stuff for something I don't love.1

yeah, I have tried all the flavors of arctic zero sold in my store and only one of them (fudge brownie i think?) was really edible, Like everyone else said, the flavor is very week and disappointing.1
