Ode to Protein Ice Cream: Arctic Zero

Okay, just gotta give a quick review/shout out to a product that I dearly cherish. Talk as much crap as you want about it…but I love it! Especially the chocolate peanut butter flavor- for some reason, the texture of that flavor seems creamier than the rest. Arctic Zero is…my ice cream. My “ice cream.” It’s basically glorified whey. It’s whey and water and fiber (chicory root, xantham gum, and guar gum to make it fluffy) so I can eat it and not feel guilty. Chocolate peanut butter, for example, has in a pint 180 calories, 0 grams fat, 8 grams fiber, and 16 grams of protein! Plus it’s gluten and dairy free, for peeps who have intolerances. Okay, so the question is- is it good? Are you asking me, the chica formerly obsessed with protein powder and now just nonchalantly enticed? Well, for me, YES, I’ll take it! Truthfully, NO, it’s not the same as “regular” ice cream. But you can’t beat the nutritional stats of Arctic Zero. Yes, the texture of the flavors is slightly “icy” and uniform. But it is so much healthier than standard ice cream, too. I just wanted to share my delight with Arctic Zero. You don’t hafta eat it. But I will. GRINZ 🙂 You can buy them at Whole Foods, Sprouts, or through Amazon or http://www.myarcticzero.com

    I love this stuff, but it doesn’t like my stomach. Doesn’t it give you a tummy full of gas?

    I love the Vanilla Maple Flavor – and the Coffee Flavor…..So YUM! Maybe I just need to eat it in greater moderation so it won’t bug my tummy as much! 😀

    They sell it at Mollie Stone’s too. The trick is to microwave it for 30 seconds to make it creamy
