Everyone in our family loves frozen desserts. We do not discriminate between summer and winter–they are a year round staple in our house. When I was sent samples of Arctic Zero, I was intrigued. D and I are always on the lookout for healthier alternatives for our favorite treats. I liked the fact that Arctic Zero is low glycemic, lactose free, and GMO free. However, I was curious as to how it would stack up taste-wise with ice cream, AND if my kids would enjoy it!
One difference between Arctic Zero and ice cream is that you are not supposed to eat it straight out of the freezer. Since it does not contain cream, it needs to thaw a little before you dig in. The directions on the carton say to let it sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes or microwave pint for 30 seconds. We chose to let it sit at room temperature and it went from rock hard to a delightful spoonable (is that a word?) consistency.
The verdict? Everyone in our family really enjoyed it! Even though there is no cream, it has a creamy mouth-feel.
Arctic Zero comes in several yummy flavors, including: Peanut Butter Swirl, Cherry Chocolate Chunk, Rocky Road Trip, Cookie Dough Chip, Brownie Blast, Snickerdoodle Dandy, Cookie Shake, Cake Batter, Salted Caramel, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Cappuccino, Vanilla Maple, Purely Chocolate, Hint of Mint, Poppin’ Pomegranate, and Toasted Coconut. The flavors really shine through with the natural ingredients. D and k like Brownie Blast the best; n likes Cherry Chocolate Chunk, and I like the Salted Caramel.
There is a lot less guilt when you know it contains protein and fiber!
It looks like Arctic Zero will become our new year-round frozen dessert!
