I occassionally indulge in diet ice cream bars. I like individually wrapped snacks because that way there is no question about the serving size and how many calories I am eating. Whereas if I buy a whole tub of 'diet' ice cream, it's easy to fill up your bowl with 3 or 4 servings without even knowing it!
I like Skinny Cow the best. They have a smooth creamy taste with a nice chocolaty cookie outside. Very satisfying. Also kind of expensive.
My 2nd choice is Slim-a-Bear ice cream sandwich bars or fudge bars. These are also chocolatey and creamy and satisfying.
Today the Weight Watchers brand of ice cream sandwiches were on sale, so I bought those. BLECHHH! They tasted horrible. The outside cookie part was dry and gritty and tasted basically like cardboard. I'm guessing they were high fiber. The inside chocolate ice cream part was ice cold and sickenly sweet. Not cream, just icey. I won't be buying them again, sale or not.
I agree with you that Skinny Cow is the best! My old job used to bring those in occasionally, and their ice cream bars taste like regular, full fat ice cream bars. Those ‘diet’ ice creams can be deceiving; they may be lower in fat, but often they make up for that by adding MORE sugar than regular ice cream. The way they market some of those products is very dishonest!
so funny … skinny cow is the best. discovered them a few years ago. I also keep Trader Joes fruit pops in the freezer for even less calories (and yes, less satisfaction!). but still, I like a good bowl (cup??) of ice cream …
