Breyers Love Fruit

By: Tanya Taylor, PhD | Sep 19, 2007

Breyers Love Fruit is a fruity ice cream bar - the product of a marriage between a thin fruity coating on the outside, and a light vanilla ice cream on the inside. I tried the Tropical Fruit variety, which has peach puree, passion fruit juice, mango puree and pineapple juice. The product is totally delicious with an intense sweet fruity taste coupled with a very creamy and rich tasting ice cream center - both merged together to give the ultimate pleasure that can be derived from an ice cream bar.

This is a big hunk of a creamy bar at 3 ounces - similar in size to Weight Watchers Giant Chocolate Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Bar (that's 4 ounces). Breyers Love Fruit is 110 calories, while the Weight Watchers Giant Bar is 130 calories - save 20 calories by eating the Breyers bar instead (unless you are feeling in the mood for chocolate), because although it's a little smaller, it still seemed like a satisfying snack.

In addition to 110 calories, each Breyers Love Fruit Tropical Fruit Ice Cream Bar also has 2 grams of total fat, 1 gram of saturated fat, 2 grams of protein and 21 grams of total carbohydrates, which includes 18 grams of sugars. Breyers Love bars don't have any artificial sweeteners - nor high fructose corn syrup (although it does list "fructose" in the ingredients list, and we know that food manufacturers can find 'creative' ways of labeling things).

The amount of sugar is a wee bit high, but the good thing is that the bars come in a box of 4, so at least you can't eat more than that (assuming you didn't buy more than 1 box)! A box is also $3.99 which is a bit pricey, but these bars really are delicious, so I would buy them again as an occasional treat.
