Mint Delight

I know that I have talked about Skinny Cow and healthier desserts before, but to be honest I wasn't exactly blown away by the cookies and cream ice cream sandwiches I bought. However, the weather has still be pretty toasty around here so sometimes a little ice cream goes a long way...(even though there have been all these recent news stories about how "diet" ice cream isn't really all that healthy and contains more unhealthiness that you think.) I would have to say that mint chocolate chip ice cream ranks as one of my top five ice cream flavors, so when I saw this at the store I get very excited. These were much, much better than the cookies and cream ones. The mint flavor tasted natural and had a nice freshness to it. Though the box said that this was a limited flavor, I really hope that's not the case. This one was definitely a winner in my book and something that I would buy again. If you have a chance to try these out, I recommend it. They made not be healthy, but at least the fact that it is an ice cream sandwich and not a pint helps with portion control.

Skinny Sandwich

Each time I go to the grocery store I end up having to go to the dairy section, which is conveniently (for the store) located across from the ice cream. This time I was specifically looking for something new from Skinny Cow. I was surprised to see all my childhood favorites like ice cream sandwiches, individual pints, and something similar to a Drumstick. With so many options I had difficulty choosing, but finally settled on cookies and cream ice cream sandwiches. They come individually wrapped and are 150 calories...not bad for an ice cream treat. I was pleasantly surprised that the cookie held its shape fairly well and the ice cream some how managed not to melt in the blink of an eye. I find it odd though that there seemed to be somewhat of an after taste. It wasn't enough to make me stop eating it, but enough for me to notice. Maybe it's because I haven't had ice cream for a while, or maybe it was just the flavor. Otherwise, it was really good and filling, so definitely a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth.
