I was craving dessert tonight, so I was at the grocery store looking through the sorbets. I came across this and just tore through a half pint of the Vanilla Maple. The whole pint has 150 calories, 0 grams of fat, 320 mg sodium, 24 carbs, 8 grams fiber, 20 grams sugar and 13.6 grams of protein! I will definitely be trying the other flavors!

I just had to share this with you!

    I was excited to find this last week since it is so low carb. I didn't notice till I had some that it is fat free. It's like ice milk, blech! They took all the happy out. *sigh*

    If you don't mind ice milk, go for it, but I didn't care for it.

    I don't care for it either. I LOVE ice cream and frozen yogurt but this has no flavor. :-(

    I like it once in a while, it is basically a frozen protein shake. The pumpkin spice and coffee flavors are pretty good.

    Update: The strawberry flavor is not good. Not good at all.

    The chocolate and vanilla maple are good in my book. I would like to try the pumpkin spice, the coffee and mint chocolate flavors, but my store doesn't carry them.

    Just tried the mint chocolate flavour. It tastes pretty good but it goes from hard-to-eat ice to -gross-sticky-melty-gunk in 30 seconds flat. Ugh.

    If you have no qualms about creepy textures and can eat really fast, go for it. I probably won't get it again though, which is a shame because the taste is really quite nice.

    I haven't tried vanilla maple yet, but I plan to. I'd say to avoid the Cookies and Cream flavor and the Strawberry. They were odd to say the least.
    Peanut Butter Chocolate and Mint Chocolate are the best IMO.
    I nuke them on the lowest setting for almost a minute to make them more scoopable.

    I just bought it too. Agree with the poste who suggested you freeze your protein shake. Tat is what it is. Freezes like an ice cube. Does not taste like ice cream at all. I got chocolate peanut butter and I would rather have chocolate milk blended with pb. It's not gross but it is not ice cream... Or chocolate... Or peanut butter

    I guess it's a to each his own kinda thing, I love Arctic Zero and find it a perfectly acceptable sub for chocolate ice cream. Of course it's not going to taste like bryers, it is only 150 cals per pint, but it's delish.

    Disgusting texture and flavor. Try the Skinny Cow individual cups, also 150 calories though less quantity, but taste 500% better.

    Whole Foods carries Arctic Zero, for those of you who want to try it.
