ON TO REGULAR PROGRAMMING!
For those that read my Arctic Zero review post, I have been taste testing other flavors for you! I will say that the coffee flavor is still my favorite right now.
I bought the chocolate for my hubby & although he likes it, he thinks it does taste a bit healthy.
I also bought the chocolate PB for me. I wanted to try a different flavor but it was not in stock so I went for the Chocolate PB since I love PB!
Let me first say that I am NOT a chocolate ice cream or chocolate yogurt fan.. not my thing -so it did effect my opinions on these 2 flavors! My thoughts on both - I liked them both BUT I did think these 2 flavors tasted more "healthy". For chocolate fans, you may like them better than me. I have a secret tester out there that wants to remain anonymous & she feels the same way about the chocolate & she likes chocolate ice cream...BUT SHE SAID THIS: i ate the chocolate today. it was good, definitely a non-fat food taste, but certainly a good treat
Early this week I bought the Vanilla Maple Flavor and Strawberry.
The Vanilla Maple is pretty sweet & lots of maple flavor and almost toffee tasting (YUM!). I think this is perfect for this time of year! I did like it BUT I think it may taste too sweet to some of you. It is hard for me to judge since I don't eat ice cream. I also like sweet things so......!
The Strawberry - LOVE IT!!!! To me, this tastes amazing! LOVE LOVE!
COFFEE flavor is still my very very fav flavor. I really had trouble portion controlling this but I did! Strawberry is a very close second & again, will have to work to portion control it. After that, I would go the Vanilla Maple, chocolate PB & then chocolate. This is only because I am not a chocolate fan. I am wondering what the Vanilla Maple would taste like mixed with another flavor like coffee or chocolate.
I have a couple more flavors to try yet. One lady that read my post tried the Mint Chocolate one & loved it but I have not tried it yet. Another thought the Cookies & cream was "just OK".
OH - THERE IS A PUMPKIN FLAVOR OUT BUT I HAVE NOT FOUND IT YET. ON THE LOOKOUT CAUSE I SO WANT TO TRY THAT FLAVOR!!!
I know you want to know how long they last for me. Even though you can eat the whole container for 150 calories per their stats, I make a container last at least a week.
Also, for those sensitive to Xanthan gum (can cause some side effects such as intestinal gas (flatulence) and bloating) & Guar gum (side effects include increased gas production, diarrhea, and loose stools) be careful of eating the whole container in one sitting.
Pumpkin Spice Pops - I have linked you to See's Candies Pumpkin Spice Lollypops! A friend of mine told me about them. I know, some of you hate me now cause you want to go out & get them! I have not tried them yet.

Carla, it is a bit pricey but if you can stretch it out, may be worth it! I would try the coffee or strawberry flavors first if you like those flavors...

I checked out the Artic Zero, but at $5 for a pint, it's not in my budget.

Cammy, your area is charging more than mine BUT I agree - expensive! I wanted to check out for the readers to give them an option. Me, I rather have my homemade protein cookies or even my healthier Costco animal cookies BUT so I can stretch out a container quite a long time.. although that coffee flavor rocks!! And, I do love the Strawberry too BUT I can stretch it out but having a couple of my cookies & just a couple spoonfuls of this..

I just got two pints from Whole Foods the other day! I tried the chocolate PB and admit I was disappointed. It had a definite diet taste to me. I also got the chocolate mint and took one bite to see and suspect I will think the same. But, it is a huge amount for very few calories if someone is really wanting a frozen treat. I will have to check for the coffee and other flavors. I do prefer to have something to chew with my ice cream, like chips, so miss that

Karen, like you, I prefer to chew so that is why I can stretch these out... but the coffee flav is really good!

Jody, although I recently wrote a post about how much I love my AM coffee, I hate coffee-flavored anything else. Thanks for letting me know the strawberry is also good. I went to a new specialty supermarket in our area yesterday and checked for it, but they aren't carrying it. I haven't made it down to Whole Foods yet, but will try some when I do. Thanks.
