Breyers Double Churn French Chocolate Fat Free Ice Cream
By: | Jun 28, 2009
Are you the adventurous type when it comes to ice cream? The type that is always trying out new flavors? Or do you stick the tried and true? I'm the former, always intrigued by different flavors of ice cream and especially curious when it's lower in calories and fat. Breyers Double Churn French Chocolate Fat Free Ice Cream sounded yummy, so it got picked to be my flavor of the week.
Since this ice cream was fat free, my expectations on taste weren't too high, but I ended up really liking it. I don't know what makes the flavor French chocolate since the ingredients look the same as other (fat free) chocolate ice cream, but it's definitely tastes chocolaty with a mild sweetness and lots of creaminess. The light texture left me feeling refreshed and not weighted down like the heavier ice creams on the market.
Each 1/2 cup serving of Breyers Double Churn French Chocolate Fat Free Ice Cream provides 90 calories from 3 grams of protein and 22 grams of carbohydrates which includes 4 grams of fiber and 13 grams of sugars. There is no fat, or cholesterol, and 55 milligrams of sodium (more details on ingredients & nutrition facts can be found at Breyers.com). Not bad ice creams stats! One thing to note about the ingredients - this is "fat free ice cream" so don't expect to just see milk, sugar & cocoa like the Breyers Natural Chocolate Ice Cream. Instead, there is a mixture of gums & some names you might not be familiar with which help make the fat free version 50 calories less - per 1/2 cup serving (so 100 calories less if your serving is more like 1 cup).
A 1.5 quart container normally costs $5.79 at Kroger, but it was on sale for $2.99 when I purchased it. This ice cream tastes great, especially for a fat free variety and the fiber was unexpected but still welcome. The regular price is a little steep, but since it rocked the taste and nutrition facts, I will definitely be buying Breyers Double Churn French Chocolate Fat Free Ice Cream again

I must admit, I was pleasantly surprised to see a review of this particular flavor/brand of ice cream, because my mother is a tried and true devoted fan! Honestly, she will visit numerous grocery stores until she locates it. For some reason, she often has difficulty finding it, but when she does, believe me, there's not a smile bigger or brighter on anyone. Enjoy everyone!
I love this ice cream! It's always in my house in the summer!
I like this one too, though I also find it hard to locate. I usually opt for their Smooth&Dreamy Creamy Chocolate flavor instead, as that is in every store I go to. It's only 20 calories more per serving, too, so it's still a good nutrition bargain.
I was wondering if this would be any good or not, thanks for the review!
I also like this ice cream, these newfangled double churned flavors are pretty tasty!
(: If you love it, become a fan of it on Facebook!

I recently purchased the chocolate with brownie, and fell in love, and realized there was no fan page. So.. I created one (:
