The Most Important Blog I Will Ever Write...Healthy Ice Cream: Dreams do come true!




All my life I have struggled with an "ice cream" addiction that I inherited from my mom. To give you an idea of how much we love ice cream, my mom's pre-wedding diet was simply not eating ice cream. My dad said that was the thinnest she ever was...

So for all you dieters struggling with that sweet tooth, there is finally hope, and it tastes amazing!


Its called Arctic Zero


Pros:
  • It tastes AMAZING, no weird after taste or texture. So far I have tried the chocolate and the peanut butter chocolate ones and they are soooo good! They also have cookies 'n cream, mint chocolate cookie, maple vanilla, coffee, and pumpkin.
  • It has only 150 calories per PINT (that's better than 1/2 cup of regular ice cream)
  • It has fiber
  • Its fat free
  • Gluten free
  • Lactose free
  • Low in sugar, plus it uses real sugar, for people with diabetes
  • It has 16g of protein per pint...basically its high protein for little calories. 
    • A 250 calorie lean cuisine with chicken or fish has around 20g protein
The complete nutrition facts panel is at the end of the blog
 
 
 
Cons:
  • The only way to get your hands on it in Missouri is to order it off Amazon.com but it qualifies for free shipping.
  • It is not very wallet friendly, it costs more than $7.50 per pint. 
    • Health care bills are also expensive.


What Columbia Missouri should do:
  • Please, ask Schnucks or Hy Vee to carry Arctic Zero! If enough people demand it, the market will supply it!
  • Even though it is expensive dont be afraid to try it because its so worth it!
  • Visit their website http://www.myarcticzero.com/ for more info and to print off a product request form to turn into the grocery store.
