Artic Zero "Ice Cream" Review

What if I told you that you could eat an entire pint of ice cream in one sitting? Would you do it? What if I told you that you would only consume a maximum of 150 calories? Seems impossible, doesn't it?
A few months ago I was at Hyvee and saw this ice cream in the organic health section called "Artic Zero". There were 2 flavors on the shelf and on each container it had a blue label that read "Only 150 calories per PINT!" I had to do a double take. That's absolutely amazing. I looked at the label and it said it was $5. I'm not one to buy things without doing my research, so I didn't buy it.
About 2 weeks ago I was in Walmart and saw the same "ice cream" again. This time there were more flavors. I read the label more closely and found out that there are only 36 calories per half cup and 7 carbs while also having some protein in it. I looked at the ingredients list and everything in it was clean and healthy! It was about 50 cents cheaper than at Hyvee. I still didn't buy it because I couldn't decide on a flavor. I told myself that if I ate healthy all week, that on Friday I would buy it for myself.
That Friday I went back for the Cookies N Cream flavor. I thawed it out and opened it up! It wasn't what I expected at all appearance wise. It was a greyish brown color. There definitely were not cookie chunks in there if it was 150 calories per pint. I tried a bite.  It was smooth and creamy like ice cream. But totally not ice cream. I could work with it though! It wasn't bad! I didn't really get the essence of cookies and cream, it tasted a little bit like coffee. My mom tried a bite and thought so too. I wouldn't eat it all by itself, but it was for sure worth my money. I put some into a bowl and drenched it Artic Zero in some Fat Free Redi Wip (My absolute favorite thing on Earth next to Quest bars and peanut butter) and threw a few sprinkles on top for presentation. I took another bite. The difference was amazing! The textures together were soft and smooth. I loved it. I didn't eat the entire pint though, I had a little more self control than that. I mean I don't really want to eat $4.50 in one sitting anyways.
Overall, I give Artic Zero an 8/10. I get why it's so expensive, much like Quest Bars, they use high quality ingredients justifying the price of the product. I am for sure going to try more varieties in the future. It's an amazing alternative to ice cream and a great way to eat clean and stay on track. (485)
