Though not a recipe I wanted to share a product review that I just posted on my WLS blog:

Product Review: Arctic Zero Gluten Free whey Protein Ice Cream!

After hearing LIPO‘s Frank Surace rave about the gluten free, whey protein ice cream from Arctic Zero I asked him to write a product review on it. It’s also low cal!

I SCREAM..YOU SCREAM..WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM..(a product review)

Who doesn’t love ice cream? Frozen custard? Frozen yogurt? Sorbet? Gelato? I love all of these frozen treats, but since my weight loss surgery (Roux-en-Y) do they love me? Not so much.

So I’ve been on a mission. Find a good tasting “ice cream” type of dessert that’s low in calories, high in flavor. I’ve looked high, I’ve looked low and now I don’t have to look anymore. This week I found Arctic Zero, an all-natural, smooth and creamy ice cream replacement that tastes great plus it’s guilt-free when it comes to fat and calories. Arctic Zero is a frozen Protein shake that will satisfy your ice cream craving.

Arctic Zero comes in pints and bars.

The pints come in 7 flavors….Chocolate, chocolate Peanut Butter, coffee, Cookies & Cream, Mint Chocolate Cookie, strawberry, and vanilla Maple. Each pint is only 150 calories. Yep, only 150 calories for a whole pint!

The bars come in 4 flavors (vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and orange cream). They are only 85 calories per bar.

Only 85 Calories per Bar!

Arctic Zero is gluten free, fat free, contains no sugar alcohols. It is suitable for lactose intolerants and has a low glycemic index making it suitable for Type 2 diabetics. And here’s the best part: Each pint has 14 grams of Whey protein and 8 grams of Fiber. 150 CALORIE PINT

NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION 85 CALORIE BAR

NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION

But how do they taste you ask? So, ok, I’ll tell you.

I tried the Vanilla Bar and the Coffee ice cream.

The Vanilla bar whey protein ice cream was awesome. It was a nice size ice cream bar that has a chocolate covering. It had no after taste but more importantly, after I finishing, I felt that I had just eaten a “real” ice cream bar…and I was satisfied.

The Coffee ice cream was amazing. I would recommend that you keep it out of the freezer for a while, allowing it to melt a bit. It’s smooth and has a nice texture. I scooped a little into my bowl, then a little more. Before I knew it I had eaten over ½ the pint. But here’s the great part…that was only about 80 calories.

So if you’re like me and love frozen treats, you have got to try Arctic Zero!

And you know the Arctic Zero gluten free whey protein ice cream product review wouldn’t be Frank’s Place if we didn’t have a song, so…….(couldn't enbed the YT video).

That is interesting,thanks for sharing

Thanks, I went to their site and found several locations nearby (how did I never see these while shopping!). Unfortunately, only the pints and not the bars .

This week I am also going to try making ice cream from Costco's Premier chocolate shakes. I put my cylinder into the freezer last night-so it should be ready by tomorrow!

DebiC, please let me know how these turn out!

I had tried the Arctic Zero (in the pint container) some time ago. Different flavors had different nutrition content. At that time, only one or two flavors had the very low calorie content. I was not impressed with the product at all and never bought it again. I think it was a texture thing for me.

I bought it at Sprouts, which is a farmer's market type of chain.

You know I went and bought an ice cream maker last summer so I could make Protein ice cream and I still haven't done it. Hell I don't even remember where I put the ice cream maker! :-( I'm sooooooooooooo disorganized!

awesome I do love ice cream

Ice cream is my weakness and I have been going on some ice cream binges lately, so I will be stocking up on these for when the craving hits!

found it last night - gonna try it tonite for a snack

Ok, I need since reviews please.... :-)

It wasn't bad - its not the consistency of ice cream, but its a nice treat

When I get some room in the freezer, I am going to try to make ice cream with the Premier protein shakes. Or, maybe even some of the protein powder I bought before surgery that is too sweet and doesn't float my boat so much.

Eggface has receipes for making protein ice cream if you have an ice cream maker. It's good. It's nice to know where to get some quick in case of an "emergency".

Sooooo exciting!!! Thanks for sharing!
