Taste Test Tuesday - Skinny Cow Green

Skinny Cow Mint Low Fat Ice Cream Sandwich hits the spot!

I've seen these almost-neon-green ice cream sandwiches in stores for at least a year but this week (upon my younger daughter's urging) we finally tried them. She tasted them before I did so you could say I might have been subtly swayed by my daughter's rave reviews, but I really did think they were delicious. Just the right amount of ice cream and chocolate wafer, I thought, and there were no strange tastes during or after the eating experience. That's probably because they still use sugar as the sweetener (sugar and corn syrup to be exact).

You can look forward to 3 grams of fiber and 8% of your recommended daily intake of Calcium too! It helps that the first ingredient is skim milk.

I bought those today and they are delicious. My kids ate them up and asked for more, but that would defeat the point of buying low cal snacks! Even my big brother couldn't tell that they were reduced calorie.

Glad you tried them--glad you liked them too! I just tried the peanut butter and chocolate one and it wasn't quite as refreshing as the mint but it was still very tasty.
