A couple of days ago, I reviewed Jello Sugar Free Dulce De Leche Pudding Cups.  As it so happened, I had treated myself to a whole flock of reduced sugar desserts with my last Peapod order.  The pudding cups have been temporarily shoved toward the back of the fridge and now I'm experimenting with Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches.  I tried the mint flavor and thought the one I ate tonight was delicious.  Of course, it will never take the place of the notorious Big Wheel Ice Cream Sandwiches the 7/11 used to sell years ago but those sported about 500 calories each.  These Skinny Cow things contain more than 28 ingredients (including preservatives and dyes) but they are still better for you. 

STATS: 

Each sandwich is a single serving consisting of two chocolate wafers filled with about a half a cup of ice cream and containing 130 calories with 20 calories from fat.  There are two grams total fat, one gram saturated fat, zero cholesterol, 145 mg. sodium, 23 grams total carbs, two grams dietary fiber, 22 grams sugars, five grams protein and 8% (D.V.) Calcium. 

TASTE TIP:

For once, I can't think of one single thing that could be done to improve the flavor of Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches.  It was very difficult for me to stop with just one and I didn't detect any aftertaste.  Like most ice cream creations these days, these treats were a little expensive at $5.99 for a package of six.

I have had these before and loved them. You are just so surprised that they don't taste low fat, huh?

Hooow nooow skinny cooow? I can't wait for warm weather to get here so I can buy me some peanut butter ice-cream sandwiches. I just saw those in the ice-cream sandwich and they have banana ones. It makes me think of Ms. Anna, the top banana ;+)
