I took a few bites and was disgusted. It did not taste chocolatey at all. The only good part were peanut butter swirls. The base tasted like dirty water with a really weird taste to it that I can’t put my finger on. Looked at it again and realized I accidentally picked up the dairy free pint LOL. Would never ever buy the dairy free again. 1/10
That's basically what I did with one of my accidentally picked up dairy free version of some flavor I can't remember. It was horrible, horrible, horrible! But non dairy free is yummy.3 -
Still don’t see any new Enlightened or Arctic Zero pints in my Shoprite, but it looks like they are SERIOUSLY cleaning up shelf space for something!!! I wouldn’t be surprised if Shoprite released its own store brand low calorie pint like Safeway....

Looks like the shelves right before a natural disaster @hgycta lol
Tried these. Nothing special. They were just okay. Not really any better than when I make my own. I like to roast broccoli in the oven for extra long until it gets crispy like this. Just tasted like overroasted broccoli. Not much flavor. I think making myself tastes better because I like to add garlic, onion powder, italian seasoning, etc.

I picked up a Frontera Barbacoa Taco Bowl from Shoprite since it was on sale (never even seen this before) and my goodness I'm impressed! Delicious, filling, and very visually appealing for only 290 calories (and only 480mg of sodium which isn't bad) with 23g protein! I love how the pieces of pork actually taste like higher quality meat opposed to the cheap gristle or fatty stuff you might get in other frozen dinners. I'll be buying it again, 10/10 (even better once I threw some sour cream on there)!
Arctic Zero's Vanilla Bean Light ice cream is another 10/10. Very sweet and excellent vanilla bean flavor to it. As far as lower calorie vanilla pints go, this one is the best, even better than Enlightened. It somehow doesn't even get boring... I can't believe they made it this good for only 280 calories!
I've officially had all the Arctic Zero Light ice cream pints and here's my ranking:
1. Toffee Crunch
2. Mint & Chocolate Cookies
3. Vanilla Bean
4. Cookie & Brownie Dough
5. Cookies & Cream
6. Chocolate Chunk
7. Peanut Butter & Chocolate Cookies4 -

So upset that I can't find the new points. The mint and cookies is calling my mind3 -
Ben and Jerry's new truffles line has been a bit disappointing. The caramel cheesecake one was too sweet, and the coffee one isn't impressive either. The ice cream was a bit on the bland side with not much coffee flavor. The coffee liqueur truffles had that fake coffee taste and weren't good. I'd stick with the limited edition Gimme S'more flavor, which was great and much better than the truffles line.3 -

Wow, this was the one flavor I was really wanting to try! Thanks for that warning, nothing is worse than having to throw out ice cream or shovel down a 200+ calorie serving of it because you don't want to waste it!
Also, my brother was in Target and called me when he saw the Sweet Habit Ice Cream (I told him to just look for the penguin) so I had him pick it up for me. He said it was $5.99, which is about what Halo Top or Enlightened normally cost from there so I didn’t think about it too much.
Well, when he came home I couldn’t believe my eyes! This thing is MASSIVE! It looks like a pint, but it’s actually a quart (2 pints)! There goes my portioning! I’ll probably try it tomorrow but for those who have tried these already - are they ALL this big or does my Target just sell larger containers?

Because it never uploaded last night (it was having errors again) and I want you all to appreciate how amazing a frozen dinner can actually be. This brand rocks.

As a Canadian, what really strikes me is the variety of food products people in the United States have available to them. It's amazing! Even within a brand you have many more options. It's not like that here in Canada, at least not in the city where I live in Southern Ontario.4

I know what you mean. I grew up in the US and Canada, and shopping in Canada was always so boring! I haven’t been out of Canada since 2005 and threads like these make me want to go back home for more reasons than just missing home. I’m especially jealous of the ice cream selection I saw upthread.4 -

I saw online both one and two pint but in person have only seen the two pint ones. It was a surprise find too. The pb one was okay but feels like it is missing something, either more pb or more fudge. I might melt a little pb, half a serving, and add it since I still have over half the container left, which should be two more servings at least for me.

I've only seen the Sweet Habit Ice Cream in the larger, 2 pint containers. And for that price, get it! My local grocery store was selling it for nearly $10 which is why I've stayed away from it so long!2

They revamped the ice cream aisle at my Walmart. It wasn’t on my shopping list, but when I went past the aisle, I could tell that it was reorganized and fully stocked. I couldn’t resist. They had Ben & Jerry’s new lower calorie pints and Talenti vanilla cinnamon and mint cookie which I don’t like mint so didn’t get it. I got a few of the B&J and the one Talenti one. They also had the “new” Halo Top flavors and the non dairy ones, which even though they’re not new anymore, I kind of live in a new product desert, so it was exciting to see new things nonetheless. The only thing they didn’t have was the new Arctic Zero pints. I have higher calorie dinners planned this week, so I won’t be able to fit a Talenti or B&J pint this week, but maybe next week. I’ll try and review then.

Oh my goodness I am SERIOUSLY impressed with these!!!! Only 180 calories, a LOT less sugar than other bottled coffee drinks, and by far the best tasting vanilla flavor I’ve ever had. Monster killed it with these, I liked the vanilla even more than the salted caramel surprisingly!

I'm not sure if this is new, but it's new to me - Jody's peanut butter popcorn. It looks and tastes like caramel corn, with a hint of peanut flavor. I'm enjoying this - might have preferred a bit more peanut flavor, but it's still really good and I can't stop eating it.

My boyfriends family is gluten free dairy free, so my boyfriend picked up a bunch of these flax 4 life products I've never seen before to have when they came over. I took some photos before because they would have thought I was weird. I didn't end up trying the carrot muffins or the regular brownie bites, we let them take those home. I didn't have high hopes because I find prepackaged cakes to be mediocre at best, but these were actually quite good.
The carrot cake was delicious. I have had homemade gluten free carrot cake and it was just as good. It was surprisingly moist and had the perfect balance of cinnamon spice. The only thing I wish it had was more frosting because I like my carrot cake with a huge 2inch thick layer of the good stuff, lol. I was surprised it was non dairy. 200 calories for a small slice. If I had to eat dairy free gluten free (and it wasn't too expensive) I probably would buy this a lot because it was so good.
The chocolate was good as well, but not as amazing. it looked better than it tasted. It was very, very chocolaty and I think it may have been better heated up a few seconds to let the chocolate shavings melt. It would have been 10x better. The cake part was your average pre-made chocolate cake. It was a little dry, but the plethora of chocolate shavings on top saved it. I had a hard time believing one slice was only 220 calories with all the chocolate shavings on top. Would of been delicious warmed up.
The blueberry muffins were terrible. Very dry and bland tasting. They were gritty and did not have a strong blueberry flavor at all, they tasted like cardboard. Very strange grainy taste, I only had a bite and didn't want the rest.
Loved the chocolate cherry brownie bites. They had a nice chocolate flavor and this time I heated one up for 10 seconds. 130 calories for a small bite though.6 -

A small chain of health food stores called Earth Fare. I have never seen in regular grocery stores, but I know they are in some shop n saves or a lot of small health food stores. We had some coupons too because the company sends out coupons if you ask them.

Am catching up with what others have posted but my sister pointed out Dole salad kits recently. I have also seen Ore-Ida Just Crack an Egg. I haven't tried either yet but am planning on going to the store today and will try to find them. Both seem good for quick, healthier meals that can be taken on-the-go which is good for me.3

I like the just crack an egg. I put southwest eggbeaters in them instead of an egg though.3

I actually really enjoyed this Sweet Habit ice cream. I thought the peanut butter flavor was very distinct and more noticeable than Halo Top’s. It was also sweet enough, although a very slight bitter aftertaste from the stevia if you concentrate. I would buy this one over HT, but definitely not over Enlightened since there weren’t hard chunks of peanut butter like I enjoy. My only real complaint is how hard it freezes, I had to put it in the microwave for close to a full minute to get it soft enough to scoop out into two pint size containers for portioning. I’m too impatient to go through that again, so I’ll only buy it once I start seeing the individual pint containers.

I had the Enlightened Glazed Donut tonight. I didn’t take pictures because my husband is here and would ask me a million questions about what I was doing lol. The base is supposed to be glazed donut flavored. I’m not sure if it tastes like a donut but it’s sweet and good. The sprinkles are plentiful and give good texture. The chocolate icing swirl is where things got real. It legitimately tasted like the frosting on a chocolates frosted donut. The chocolate got more and more plentiful toward the bottom. I feel like the pint should be be called something more like chocolate frosted donut. Glazed donut puts me in the mind of classic Krispy Kreme and that was what I pictured when they first announced their new pints. Once I read the reviews about the chocolate aspect, I was less excited because that’s not my favorite donut type. Now that I’ve had it, I wouldn’t rank it up there with the peanut butter varieties, cookie dough, or movie night (all my favorites), but seeing as it’s 320 calories per pint, I do think I would repurchase.6

Anyone besides me enjoy the Skinny Cow ice cream pints? The rocky road is AMAZING! Plenty of small marshmallows and nuts and the chocolate base ice cream is very tasty. It's more calories than others (370 calories), but I was easily able to eat just half in a serving. A+3

@busyPK just had the skinny cow oh fudge cookie pint! It's really good. Lots of cookie bits and flavor. Will try the rocky road tomorrow!2

Do you have Grocery Outlet? I found two pints for $1.49.
The Fudgetastic Java & the Oh Fudge Cookie. Personally I didn't care for the flavors because it felt bland compared to Enlightened, Halo Top, & even Breyers.2 -

I went to their website to look at the ingredients and it doesn’t look like they use erythritol, just stevia; personally I like erythritol more than stevia so I don’t know how I feel about just stevia in ice cream alone, maybe that’s why it wasn’t as sweet?
Unfortunately where I live in Maryland isn’t near any Grocery Outlets
heck I don’t even live near a Kroger! I’ll confess, I recently bought some Pancakes & Syrup kroger exclusive peeps on eBay because I decided I couldn’t let myself miss out on that...
I noticed yesterday Target sells the Skinny Cow pints for about $3.99 which is the best I’ve seen it (Shoprite, Giant, and Safeway all sell it for around $5.99 here). I wrote to Skinny Cow to see if they’ll send any coupons, but if not I might just cave and try one from Target.1 -
I don't know how new these are but they're new to me and so good!
2 -
I found these at Target and tried the cookie dough and the strawberry one - really hit the spot with some coffee in the afternoon.

I haven’t tried this yet, but it looked pretty good and 16g protein for Mac and cheese sounds great!
I also found the Breyers mini pints. Great for portion control if you like the taste.
After the review of the Enlightened Glazed Donut, I’m dying to try it but can’t find it anywhere!!5
