Breyers Chocolate Cookies and Cream Double Churn Fat Free Ice Cream
The cookies are dispersed, not as "chunks", but as bits and pieces spread throughout - which I viewed as a plus because you got a little cookie in every bite (at first glance, it looked like chocolate chip). When I experienced that first spooful/ mouthful many adjectives came to mind as I was oohing with delight and reaching for the next spoonful: CREAMY, smooth, chocolaty, chewy at times, decadent and out of this World. I am telling you that I could not tell the difference between this treat and something I would receive at a local creamery (and I would pay the same price, but only get 1 serving instead of 12, and it definitely wouldn't be fat free. I am an ice cream fanatic but since my palate is very open to different textures and tastes, I turned to the person who is one of the most stubborn eaters that I know for their opinion - my dad. He makes the most fattening ice cream store purchases posisble: super premium cheesecake ice cream, and will not sacrifice any reduced calories for taste. While he did not consider this a substitute for his fat-filled regular, he did ask for a second cone. Trust me - that speaks very highly for this ice cream. Each 1/2 cup serving of Breyers Chocolate Cookies and Cream Fat Free Ice Cream has 110 calories, no fat, low sodium (3% of the RDA), 3 grams of fiber (12% of the RDA), 14 grams of sugar and 3 grams of protein. Each serving is also 2 WW points. Somewhere in between all of those ingredients (and there are a lot), Breyer's sneaks in 4% of the RDA for Vitamin A and Iron and 10% of the RDA for Calcium. I have seen Breyer's FREE creations at varying prices from one store to the next, but the average price is generally around $3.00 for 1.5 gallons, which is unquestionably worth every penny. It's hard trying to stop at 1/2 cup (near impossible really), but 1 cup should be the limit. Consider this a treat, although the fat has been reduced. Bonus points to Breyers too for not sneaking in too much sugar. Comments

Anna said: I bought this based on your review, and I am now cursing your name. Why? Because it's SO freaking GOOD! And it's really hard to stop at half a cup. Thank you for letting me know, and I guess I really should take responsibility for my own addictions instead of blaming nice food reviewing bloggers such as yourself. ;)
