Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches

These babies are great for several reasons. #1 -- its an ice cream treat for for about 150 calories and 97% fat free! #2 -- its a controlled serving. You can't really say, "Oh, just one more bite... and one more and one more, until you've eaten 3 servings! If you want another, you make the conscious decision to have another serving. #3 -- they don't taste at all like diet food! They're real creamy ice cream with real cookies and not a glimmer of fakey sugary taste about them! Out of the 8 flavors (Vanilla, Vanilla/Chocolate, Mint, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Strawberry Shortcake, Coffee, Caramel and Cookies and Cream) I've tried all but the Coffee and the Caramel and all the ones I've tried are awesome. Skinny Cows can be hard to find in some areas, but http://www.skinnycow.com/flavorfinder.php will not only tell you where they are carried, but where your favorite flavor is carried! Could it get any better?

Skinny cows are pretty good and I agree that the individual units can keep you from eating more than you intended. They can be a good alternative treat if you are trying to control your weight and you really need a treat. They contain Splenda® (sucralose), though, so you should weigh the potential risks involved with this sweetener with the benefits of eating a low-calorie treat. I eat them as an occasional indulgence but, generally, try to stay away from products with artificial sweeteners.
