Arctic Zero ice cream. I tried two flavors - chocolate and vanilla-maple. Vanilla-maple was just barely tolerable. Chocolate was so bad I threw away the container after only a few spoonfuls.

150 calories PER PINT....and it tastes like it, too. VERY disappointed....

Ah well. Back to coconut milk/soy Purely Decadent. *sigh*

    I'm sure you've eaten worse things.

    Wish I could have the other types of ice cream, but am celiac, lactose intolerant and dairy allergic. :-(

    Try blue bunny frozen yogurt! 90 calories for a half cup, sure it sounds like a lot...but something really yummy is worth a little extra cardio :)

    Not ice cream, but have you tried Ciao Bella sorbets? They are reeeally delicious, dairy-free and gluten-free.

    No I haven't. Sounds good, though. What's the cal count on it?

    Life is too short to eat nasty things. Even if it's low calories, it's not worth it.

    PS love your little kitten :)

    LOL! I wholeheartedly agree. And thanks! She's not mine - I stole her from the internet, although I have enough sleepy-face kitty photos now to put one of my own on...

    I agree! Even higher calorie things, if I want to include it in my lifestyle, then it better rate more than 8 on an 1-10 scale. Makes it easier to say no to things.

    It's worth trying because your tastes may be different from mine, but ICK!! I hated it. All of it. So far. If a new flavor shows, I'll try it, just in case but as of right now - ICK.

    I've had cookies and cream arctic zero, I don't know if it's just me but I loved it! Let it melt a little bit and it tastes just like ice cream.

    I'm likely unable to eat that one due to gluten issues. If they make it with GF cookies, then I should be okay.

    They vary. The blood orange is the lowest I think -- 60 or 70 calories for a half cup.
