Health-conscious people who also happen to love ice cream have a lot of options these days thanks to the plethora of brands offering healthier alternatives [1]. Joining the club is Chilly Cow [2], a new ice cream from the same manufacturer as Blue Bunny [3] that hit shelves nationwide in March. It's got 70 percent less fat, 60 percent less sugar, and 55 percent fewer calories than regular ice cream, according to a press statement, and it comes in a wide range of flavors like Brownie Batter, Sweet Cream Peanut Butter, and Cookies 'n' Cream. The secret ingredient is an unexpected one: "ultra-filtered" nonfat milk.
While a lot of lower-calorie ice creams use milk protein concentrate, Chilly Cow claims the ultrafiltered milk lends a much creamier texture and gets as close to the regular stuff as possible. Bonus: each half-pint serving has 12 grams of protein. But the million-dollar question is how does it taste?! The new ice cream is already getting lots of love from shoppers who spotted it at Walmart, Winco, and other grocery stores, and people are sharing their favorite flavors on Instagram.
One person who tried it said, "I wasn't expecting it to be as sweet as it was," and another described it as "super creamy and delicious." Considering adding a new ice cream to your roster of must-try desserts? Scope out more photos of Chilly Cow ahead.
