Taste Test Tuesday: Skinny Cow Chocolate with Fudge Low Fat Ice Cream
AddThis Social Bookmark Button

I know, I know, I'm a sucker for lowfat frozen ice cream treats! But in my defense, it's the rest of my family that really enjoys a cold treat some nights a week. It was my daughter, in fact, who picked this product to try out amongst the barrage of other ice-cream bars and such on the shelf.

I asked her what she would rate it between 1 and 10 (10 being awesome) and she said "11". Granted I think she is easy to please with all things frozen and sweet. I did get a few bites in though myself and I did think it was certainly an enjoyable chocolate ice cream dessert. The sugar cone certainly was crisp and the lowfat chocolate ice cream that mostly fills the cone was, in fact, creamy.

I thought my daughter was so cute and innocent when she complained, "Where did all the ice cream cones go?" I had to remind her that there were only 4 cones in the box. It might have looked like there were 6 and it may have been priced like there were 6, but sadly, the box held only 4.

The first four ingredients are:
Skim milk
The cone (wheat flour, sugar, palm oil, soy lecithin, salt)
Sugar
Corn syrup
(Note that three of the first four ingredients involve sugar or sweetness)

The nutritional totals are: (per cone)
150 calories
3 grams fat
2 grams saturated fat
4 mg cholesterol
3 grams fiber
19 grams sugars

Another great lowfat treat that a friend recommended to me was the Healthy Choice (green box) fudgicles pops. I don't know the specifics of the fat or sugar breakdown, but it tastes GREAT!
