Taste Test Tuesday: Bryers Light Cookies & Cream Sandwiches
Two ice-cream flavors for the price of one! Okay, so there was no break on the cost but Breyers is now selling two ice-cream sandwich flavors in one box: Light Double Churn Creamy Vanilla and Cookies and Cream (three sandwiches in each flavor).
I bought a box with Taste Test Tuesday in mind but by the time I got to it, there were two Cookies & Cream and one Creamy Vanilla sandwiches left. I wonder if that means something? Was the Creamy Vanilla better?
I tasted the Cookies & Cream sandwich first and it was definitely enjoyable. The chocolate sandwich cookies were moist and tasty and the ice cream was nice and creamy with no aftertaste (like you sometimes get when alternative sweeteners are used). In fact my only criticism would be that there didn't seem to be enough ice cream compared to the amount of chocolate sandwich cookie.
But what do you want for 130 calories? Each sandwich also contains 1.5 grams fat (10% calories from fat), .5 grams saturated fat, 3 grams fiber, 13 grams sugars (40% calories from sugar), and 3 grams protein.
Sugar is the second ingredient listed for the ice-cream filling and the chocolate wafers. But, I was happy to see nonfat milk, as the first ingredient for the ice cream and whole-wheat flour was the fourth ingredient listed for the chocolate wafers.

healthy choice has a really good ice cream sandwich. They are smaller than other regular brands but big enough to fill you up and are very tasty.
skinny cow makes good ice cream treats
Stoneyfield Farms Frozen Yogurt - they have about 100 or 150 calories per 1/2 cup serving and it's deeeelicious...
Weight Watchers giant fudge bars are wonderful!
Orange cream bars are amazing! They bring back the euphoric mnemories of youth, knock out the sweet tooth and they are naturally low in fat and calories so you don't have to worry about sacrficing any of the flavor!!!!
Healthy Choice's version of the "fudgesicle" are great - creamy and with a great texture and flavor.
I agree on the skinny cow ice cream bars. It's because they come from skinny cows, not fat ones. You know, non fat cows.
they really are good , all kidding aside.
I also like the skinny cow ice cream sandwiches. The ice cream is smooth and the portion compliments the cookie nicely so that the cookie part doesn't stick as much to your mouth like some brands.
