I have been keeping Breyers Double Churn Light Ice Cream on-hand for years now. It contains 3.5 grams of fat, 100 calories, and a gram of fiber per serving. I had always avoided the fat-free version, up until now however, thanks to more than a few bad fat-free ice cream experiences in the 90's.
Well, fast forward to today and I am pleased to report that the fat-free version of this brand is quite different than those! It is creamy, flavorful and the texture is nice. (My friend April also taste-tested it with me and she said it seemed just a little "gummy" to her, but I did not notice this.)
Unlike regular ice cream, which provides 4.5 grams of saturated fat per serving, this type has no saturated fat. It also provides four grams of fiber, something regular ice cream doesn't contain. (Certain ingredients used to replace the fat add the fiber.) There are 90 calories per serving.
So, don't let the fat-free label fool you -- this stuff's perfect for a chocolate fix!

But, if fat free and sugar free, exactly what is in it?
Sadly, Breyer’s Double Churned fat free vanilla, is just a memory. It was my favorite ice cream and we were buying it every week. I could eat my ice cream and have my weight loss, too. It’s not in the markets anymore and I understand it’s been discontinued. The “dreamy” version is not nearly as creamy. I’ll have to go back to Turkey Hill.
What is in it once you take out the sugar and the fat? Love
