I don’t know how many of you have been following the whole new ruby chocolate thing, but it’s supposedly a new type of chocolate sold exclusively in Japan... and eBay.
I bought one for $15 (I’m ashamed, yes), and while I enjoyed it, it’s definitely not something I’ll get again (even if it were regular price). It’s tart and fruity but reminds me of yogurt, not chocolate. I don’t recommend anyone here spend their money on custom ordering it (although to be honest, I’m probably the only person here who would resort to that).

Enlightened Ice Cream is bomb. I've tried four flavors so far and loved them all. Marshmallow Peanut Butter was one of them, and I agree -- the marshmallow taste does disappear the more you eat it, lol. I guess our tongue goes numb to the flavor? The peanut butter is very nice indeed. I doubt I'll ever go back to Halo Top. It's so icy and chemical tasting. I tried some of the new Arctic Zero flavors, and while I like them better than the old formulas, it still doesn't top Enlightened for me.
Has anyone seen No Pudge Brownie Mix in stores? I had it over ten years ago and suddenly remembered how great it was, lol. Fudgy, low cal brownies! But I can't seem to find it in stores anymore!4 -
Not sure how new these are but I just saw them for the first time today. If you like pizza crust then these are delicious. I’m already dreaming of a dip to pair them with. There was also a second flavor at my store which was garlic and oregano and I plan to try that one next.4 -

I think the flavor isn’t strong enough when I stop tasting it 1/3 of the way through. I had a peanut butter chocolate chip pint the other night, and it’s still my top flavor because I can taste the peanut butter flavor ALL THE WAY through. I remember the no pudge mix! I think Trader Joe’s reduced guilt brownie mix, if they still make it, was very similar if not identical. Made with yogurt right?

These are amazing. We have been buying them for a few years but I stopped. But I’ll have to remember this the next time I have a pizza craving0 -
Buy one get one free coupon for enlightened: http://go.eatenlightened.com/april-bogo?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=62066486&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--b1OpvWU9vhE9tpQ2SpJ3CfBc8-1vjRw0Yx4bx1qNDGE61byeJpMj5VZY4InC7vh6PiczW24HpOrKZVqYolNhB2DKp4Q&_hsmi=62066486
Also, I figured a lot of you here are probably coffee drinkers. I've been wanting to try Death Wish coffee, has anyone here tried it? I read somewhere it has around 700mg of caffeine per cup but I have a hard time believing it. My brother talked me into spending a little over $20 on a bag of Kimera Koffee recently (which is supposed to be extremely good with nootropics), but honestly after drinking two cups today I hardly notice a difference... it doesn't even taste that great....
I really like Death Wish coffee. Caffeine doesn't effect me very much at all so I can only evaluate it from a taste perspective. I would buy it regularly if it wasn't so pricey.

Welp I don’t know how many people here have heard about or tried Simply Scrumptous but I’ve been obsessed with them for the longest time. I found out about them through Linda’s Diet DeLites, but found if I order on Simply Scrumptous’ website I can save more money ordering by the dozen.
Well, I discovered something and I’m hooked on it. One pint of Enlightened’s cold brew coffee ice cream (240 calories) plus one chocolate Simply Scrumptous cupcake (70 calories) = best 310 calories you’ll ever eat (with 26 grams of protein)! The trick is to let the pint thaw, and scoop the icing off the cupcake and microwave so it becomes a glaze you pour over. It hardens into a crunchy delicious mess on the ice cream. It’s amazing.

I really like Enlightened movie night,very creamy and good pieces of chocolate,it does have a wee bit of aftertaste but nothing like Halo Top2

I finally was able to try the Enlightened pints. The only place near my side of the city that carries them is Whole Foods, which I generally avoid because of how expensive it is. I bit the bullet yesterday though, because I had the free coupon for a pint of Slim Twin (and, of course, WF is the only place to get them).
I decided to try the cold brew coffee flavor since that's probably my favorite flavor of ice cream. You can definitely taste the erythritol in it, but it wasn't so overwhelming as to cause me not to enjoy it. In fact, I like it much better than any light ice cream I've tried thus far. I ate the pint last night, and I'll probably hit up WF every once in a while for a treat (at $4.50/pint I really can't justify buying it often).
I went for cookies & cream on the Slim Twin. It's not nearly as creamy as the Enlightened, and I found the monk fruit flavor a little off-putting. I'll finish the pint, because the multitudinous cookie pieces make it worth it for me, but I wouldn't go back for another.3 -

That’s a shame it wasn’t as creamy, I’ve been dying to try Slim Twin but there’s no Whole Foods anywhere near me whatsoever
did it taste more like cookies or more like its cream? I can overlook texture if the flavor is really good and has any chunks of cream....
I went to Shoprite and noticed this ice cream, has anyone tried it? I was a little tempted, but for that price I wasn’t sure if I wanted to spend the money (and calories) trying it....
I did find some new Enlightened flavors! Movie night and French toast - I can’t wait to try them! I might go for movie night first since everyone here seems more impressed with it!
Additionally, I found the last flavor left of Monster’s caffe lineup. It’s my least favorite, kind of tastes fake and not nearly as satisfying as the salted caramel or vanilla. Vanilla is exceptional, salted caramel is really good, and this one was bleh.

I spent $18 on 2 packages of the elusive Girl Scout Trios cookies on ebay.3 -
@hgycta I only ate a few bites of it yesterday since I liked the Enlightened much more. I didn't notice any chunks of cream, mainly chunks of cookie. It tasted a lot like cookie, which, for me, is a good thing, because the vanilla ice cream had a definitely aftertaste from the sweeteners. I'll have to let you know once I've had a chance to eat more than a few bites though. I think I'll try thawing it more too, just to get rid of the bit of iciness that it has.

It looks just like my pint of Cookies & Cream Breyer's Delights honestly xD0 -

I’ve had their ice cream sandwiches and once tried a pint of the Campfire S’mores flavor... Very very delicious and indulgent! That price isn’t as bad as I paid... $7.99 a pint at Balducci’s.6 -

I've tried Coolhaus before - the molten chocolate flavor and one with a S'mores flavor. Honestly, it tasted fine but not worth the calories in my opinion. It's a better quality than something like Breyer's but not as good as Häagen-Dazs. It was worth trying once, but I wouldn't get the brand again. That might vary depending on different flavors, though.0 -
I tried the peanut butter marshmallow pint twice and after letting it thaw honestly, I never lose that marshmallow taste! However, I lost the buttery popcorn taste in this pint very quickly surprisingly. It wasn’t a match for the overpowering caramel swirl, which personally I think is too heavy on the sugar alcohols. I was hoping for chocolate swirls, not chunks, and overall it just tastes like a crunchier version of the salted caramel, not a popcorn flavor at all. I won’t be getting this one again, and for being one of their higher calorie pints I’m surprised they didn’t execute it better! I was hoping it’d be more like Ben & Jerry’s Late Night Snack flavor (which I think is what they were going for), but they should seriously change the ingredients in the caramel swirl to make it less fake tasting. At least they’re generous with it.

Soooooo the Enlightened's Cold Brew vs Halo Top's Caramel Macchiato. What's the coffee taste sitch on the Enlightened?1

Soooooo the Enlightened's Cold Brew vs Halo Top's Caramel Macchiato. What's the coffee taste sitch on the Enlightened?
It honestly depends. I think Halo Top’s is better if I’m looking for something sweeter/more dessert-like. Enlightened’s is more coffee-forward and balanced with a much better texture requiring more time to thaw first. Halo Top’s caramel macchiato is my favorite flavor by that company without a doubt and is my choice of dessert, but I normally eat Enlightened’s cold brew pint earlier on in the day since it gives me a slight buzz. If you’ve ever had Chick-fil-A’s frosted coffee, that’s what Enlightened’s pint tastes like in my opinion!4 -

I really liked Halo Top's because the coffee flavor was so subtle and it definitely reminded me of "real" coffee ice cream. I wasn't planning on trying the Enlightened but the calorie count is hard to pass up. The only other Enlightened I've tried is the Snickerdoodle. I ate most of it but I wasn't in love so I tossed the rest.
I wonder if I can get the caffeine fix I so desperately need from the Enlightened!

Oh no the snickerdoodle is one of Enlightened’s worst pints (the pina colada was THE worst but thankfully they chose to discontinue it), you are overdue to try one of their more satisfying flavors!!!Soooooo the Enlightened's Cold Brew vs Halo Top's Caramel Macchiato.

I know you all are ice cream aficionados lol. Any of you try these brands I saw? Never seen before.
Wegmans has like an entire aisle of all these random brands of low calorie pints I've never seen before. Funny how its the new trend. First it was protein cookies now it's ice cream. Wonder what will be the next thing every brand will jump on.3 -

I've tried Vice, Jeni's, and My/Mo. I picked up a couple of the new Vice flavors that I haven't had yet and will be working my way through them in the next few weeks hopefully, so stay tuned! Their pints have been tasty, a step just below Ben and Jerry's in terms of taste and texture. However, none of the pints have been amazing, but I keep picking up new flavors that I haven't tried yet in hopes that I'll find an amazing flavor - so they're a good enough brand to try new flavors with. I will say that their new pints have been sitting in my freezer for a couple weeks though, so not on my top priority list to try yet..
Jeni's is great, highly recommend. That almond brittle flavor in your picture is one of my favorites. If you see brambleberry crisp, that's really delicious as well, as is their Ugandan vanilla. I'd say they're on the same level as Häagen-Dazs with very dense, creamy flavors - I haven't been disappointed with any of their flavors. I believe they make their ice cream bases with corn starch and without eggs, which is a unique way to get clean flavors with a dense texture. They make frozen yogurt too which I've found to be hard to find, but it's the BEST frozen yogurt you can find in a store. Amazingly creamy and dense like ice cream.
I've seen My/Mo before, but only as actual Mochi ice cream pieces in boxes and not in a pint form. I tried their mango ice cream mochi and it was pretty good. Pretty caloric for just one piece though, so I haven't tried any other flavors. Those pints look pretty interesting!5 -

I've seen Jeni's and Vice before, I always thought they were full fat ice cream super high in calories? Have I been missing out all along??? As for that MyMo, was that one low calorie too!?! Oh my goodness, I ADORE mochi and can't stop buying Halo Top's green tea mochi flavor even though I'm not a fan of green tea (or key lime, which I think is what it tastes more like) simply for its texture, so if there's another brand offering more variety and indulgent flavors count me in!!!! I'll have to drive out to Wegmans ASAP!
I'm 100% ok with this low calorie ice cream trend, if there's been any trending food thing this one is by far my favorite. A low calorie fudge would be appreciated next, but hey, I doubt I could eat as much fudge as I can these ice cream pints since fudge is a little trickier to make diet friendly!2 -
@hgycta - ^^ none of those are low calorie pints.
Vice is pretty good, but I like Ben and Jerry's better, something about the flavor in Ben and Jerry's comes through more. But, Vice has some interesting mix-in combos that I haven't seen other brands do. Breakfast in Bed was yummy.
Jeni's is amazing- super dense and rich. The shop is close to my apartment and offers some super cool flavors. The pints are expensive though.3 -

Darn it, I was getting my hopes up, too! What kind of low calorie pints did Wegmans have? Is it their own store brand? Anything even closely related to a cotton candy flavor by any miracle?
I’m trying Enlightened’s French Toast flavor now. It’s enjoyable, but not a repeat buy when they have so many other flavors I think taste a lot better. The swirl is good but also a bit heavy on the sugar alcohols whereas the base doesn’t do much. Some crunchy cinnamon dough balls would have been incredible, they could’ve made this a lot better. Not a pint for those sensitive to erythritol, you’ll probably hate it.

Not light ice cream this time. But OH MAN! So freaking delicious. Frozen custard base was amazingly creamy, with toffee swirls and bit of crunchy honeycomb. I couldn't stop. I ate the whole pint.

Amazon had a lightning deal on Death Wish, so that settled matters fairly quick. Caffeine informer rates Death Wish as having over 700mg of caffeine per 12 oz, but I made one 6 oz k cup so it was probably closer to 350mg. Best taste of any coffee I’ve had and STRONG stuff.... I can’t drink it regularly or else I’ll probably have heart issues but goodness this is the perfect stuff for when you really need that extra kick working overnight or something!
Also, I saw this in Walmart. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this flavor yogurt before in the Light & Fit varieties? It’s really good, I’ll be getting it again! But then again, I like most of the Light & Fit yogurts so I’m probably biased.
I got an email this morning from GNC about these new bars. If anyone here tries them please report how they are because they look amazing! I don’t normally go to GNC but I might have to make a special trip if they actually look as good as they’re portrayed here.

That lemon meringue yogurt sounds amazing! And I just tried Annie's Organic Bunny Fruit Snacks (not a new product but new to me), and they are sooo good! I tried strawberry, grape, and tropical (the tropical was my least favorite, which surprised me since I thought it'd be my most favorite), and they taste like real fruit and have a nice chewy texture. They hit the spot and satisfy that craving for gummies, which I admit is a hardcore addiction for me. I recommend them highly as a 70 calorie sweet treat.1
