It is said, somethings are just too good to be true.I'll be honest. That was my first thought when I saw these cute little pints of ice cream labeled "Arctic Zero" on the shelf in my local grocery store.
150 calories? I was thinking......sure.......per BITE! Nope. The whole dang PINT!
So I bought it. {Mint Chocolate}
Instant. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE.
Then, the best thing ever happened.
This:
Christmas. In. September.
Immediately, Peanut had something to say:
Here is how the conversation went-
Me: I am going to eat this whole PINT of ice cream!
Peanut: You are so weird.
Me: Well, it's healthy it has protein!
Peanut: Can I have some?
Me: no freaking way.
Peanut: Yup, you totally win "selfless mom of the year". *Resumes TV show*
That's my girl.
It didn't take me long [about 7.44 minutes] before I got going on this one.....
I am a pumpkin girl.
This was amazing. By far my favorite of all of them.
So how do they do it?
The secret to its insanely low-calorie contents is monk fruit. Hmmm…never heard of it?
I hadn't either.
So I did what I always do.......Hello Google. Monk fruit is a natural sweetener from China and yes, I think I'll be buying stock it that, super soon.
I tried them all. [seriously, rough work] ;)
I got a little creative with a few . . . this was BLISS!
And this was a little piece of heaven:
I have used it on my Pumpkin Protein Cakes I make......incredible.
Then, just today I tried it [vanilla maple] in my smoothie.
best. idea. yet.
