After a recent trip to the grocery store, my dad returned with a tub of Blue Bunny No Sugar Added Reduced Fat Banana Split Ice Cream which he bought for $4.99. I was really skeptical at first since I've had Blue Bunny ice cream before and I definitely preferred Breyer's slow-churned. But then, when I read the description of "Real pineapple and cherry pieces, vanilla ice cream, a strawberry-banana ribbon and a fudge ribbon, and a medley of mixed nuts" I could not WAIT until desert time.
After my dinner, I quickly grabbed this tempting tub of ice cream, and to my delight, it was amazing
. Every bite was simply divine. The ice cream was light - the banana flavor wasn't overwhelming allowing the strawberry to shine through and then there was a note of fudge tantalizing your taste buds every now and again. I could taste the cherries and the crunchiness of the nuts in every bite. Did I already mention that this was delicious?!
One 1/2 cup serving (94 grams) of Blue Bunny No Sugar Added Reduced Fat Banana Split Ice Cream provides 120 calories, 5 grams of total fat (8% of the recommended daily amount), 3.5 grams of which are saturated fat (15% of the RDA), 3 grams of protein, 7 grams of sugar alcohols and 20 grams of carbohydrate which includes 2 grams of fiber and 3 grams of sugar.
This is simply the best ice cream I have ever had (and let me tell you, I've had my fair share of ice cream). My entire family also loved it and we ended up finished the entire tub in 2 nights. The next week, my mom actually went out and bought 2 more, so I think this is going to be a permanent fixture on our grocery list. There is a $1.00 off coupon on the BlueBunny website, so get it before it's gone.
