Default Breyers No Sugar Added takes the prize!

Ice cream is my weakness. I love it. However, I figure that when I do indulge, it better be high quality.

Ben and Jerry's low carb wasn't thick enough. I believe I had an almondy flavor... but the flavor was so watered down it tasted like ice.

Carb Smart is good, mind you, but please take note that it is 130 calories and 35% of you daily intake of sat. fat. And that's in a half cup. Honestly, it's impossible to eat just a half cup of that stuff. The texture and flavor, however, is so thick and creamy, and ever soft enough, due to this fat.

As an alternative with just as good flavor, I prefer Breyer's No Sugar Added. It comes in with 90-100 calories per half cup, and much lower fat. Confusingly, the sugar and sugar alcohol content is the same as CarbCount, but it has no fiber and a higher total carb count. Either way, it's a wiser choice for someone watching fat and calories as well, which we must all do. And the flavor is beautiful!
