Breyers Free Double Churn Ice Cream
This will will make your taste buds happy! Breyers Free Double Churn Ice Cream has only 90 to 110 calories per half cup serving - about what you'd get in a light ice cream. Sodium is very low - around 55mg per serving and there is no cholesterol or fat at all.
However, if you eat a lot of ice cream, the fat difference could really add up. Maybe it's the added polydextrose - an indigestible carbohydrate that shows up on the label as fiber - that makes Breyers Free taste so creamy. Polydextrose does not have all the benefits of intact fiber in whole grains, but it is safe.
Comments about the texture were that the fat-free ice creams were smooth, slightly gummy, and had a texture like gelato, a pudding pop or fudgsicle. Everyone seems genuinely surprised that this ice cream was fat free.
If you're an ice cream fan, it's definitely worth a try; 1.75 quart sells for about $6 in New York and California, which is equal to about 43 cents per half-cup serving.
Available flavors:
- French Chocolate

How about a "Creamy Dreamy Shake"? Take 2 cups of the Chocolate Fudge Brownie flavor, 1/4 cup peanut butter and 1/3 cup 2-percent milk and process it all in a blender. Serve immediately. If you prefer a thinner shake, add a bit more milk to desired consistency. For a banana shake, increase the amount of milk to 1/2-cup and add 1 medium, ripe banana before processing in your blender. Delicious!
