New Product

Food Lion's Taste of Inspirations brand now has frozen Greek Yogurt. I have never tried any brand of frozen Greek Yogurt but some people swear by it. It comes in Strawberry, Pomegranate & Blueberry, and  Black Raspberry. If you've tried it let me know what you think. 

New Products!!

While doing my weekly shopping at Walmart I team across these new frozen treats. Since I am an ice cream connoisseur, I'll have to try these at some point. 

Review: I'm in Ice Cream Bliss

Oh-em-gee. I cannot believe after months of searching I finally found the Edy's Salted Caramel Pretzel ice cream that I have been stalking the freezers of Walmart for.

The Food Lion five minutes from my house had it on sale 2/$5.00. I could not get home fast enough to tear into it. Upon first look it doesn't appear that there is that much to write home about. Just a swirl here and there, but upon dipping into the ice cream and first taste? Magic!

There is nothing special about the vanilla ice cream but what really makes this flavor happen are the swirls of caramel and the pieces of pretzel. They are big enough to give you that salty, crunchy satisfaction. It's something about the combination of sweet and salty that makes me feel like I'm indulging in my guilty pleasure. I hate the fact this is a limited edition flavor, but while it's in stores it will definitely be a staple. With 1/2 the calories and 1/3 the fact I don't feel like I'm missing anything.

New Edy's Flavors

Ice cream is probably one of my biggest weaknesses. I am so grateful that there are a ton of lower-calorie, lower-fat alternatives. Edy's is one of my favorites so I was excited to see they are offering several new flavors. They are offering German Chocolate Cake Spectacular, Take the Cake, and Three Stripes You're Out. They also have Sunny Salted Caramel Pretzel but I have yet to find that anywhere.

Since I'm always on the go I love snacks I can just throw in my bag and head out the door. These are new at Walmart and I'm not really a fan of pudding but the Banana Pudding flavor looks tasty. At 90 calories for the chocolate and 100 calories for the banana pudding you really can't beat it.

Still Undecided

I have been a huge fan of Breyer's since I was a little girl. My father always enjoyed a bowl of Butter Pecan after dinner. I grew to like it although I would spit out the pecans. Something about the buttery ice cream I really, really love. Breyer's Blasts are a staple in my home. They taste great and are fairly low in fat and calories. Now Breyer's offers new Butter Pecan for 100 calories per serving. It's sweetened with Splenda so it could go either way as far as taste. It was on sale for $3.00 at Food Lion so I don't know if I would pay any more for it.

The first time I tried it I thought it was really good. There was the recognizable taste of the butter and the nice balance of the pecans. Then the seond time I tried it there was kind of an artificial taste. I'm going to give it one more try before I give up on it. Low fat ice creams have really helped me in terms of weight loss so I always like finding a new flavor. If you really have a taste for butter pecan ice cream I would definitely recommend giving this a try.

More Than a Kid's Snack!!

I can't remember why I originally decided to purchase this - I think I just found them in the frozen section in Walmart and thought it looked good. I'm not a big fan of yogurt - just occasionally. I much prefer frozen yogurt or light ice cream. But when I saw this four pack of Dannon Danimal Crunchers I thought I would give it a try. There are little chocolate chip cookie bits. I am so not impressed with this but I can see why some people may like it. The yogurt is just kind of bland as are the cookies. Mixing them makes it a little better - but not enough for me to purchase this again.
