Skinny Cow Mint Ice Cream Sandwich: A Product Review

I have always loved ice cream! When I recently started a weight loss program, I didn't want to give up my favorite indulgence. That's why I'm so thankful for Skinny Cow. Their ice cream is low calorie, and truly delicious.

On the Package
Along with a cartoon rendering of an actual skinny cow with a tape measure around her waist, the front of the Skinny Cow Mint Ice Cream Sandwich package states that each sandwich has 140 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, and 3 grams of fiber. It is packaged in a long narrow tube-like thing, with each round ice cream sandwich sitting in its own little groove. Each package contains six individual mint ice cream sandwiches. After being opened, the package can be snapped closed. This resealable feature is quite nice to help keep your ice cream sandwiches from freezer burn or picking up of the smell and flavores of other items in your freezer. Nothing can ruin an ice cream treat faster than that!

On the back of the package it says this:

"You are holding in your hand my rich and creamy ice cream treat...The Skinny Cow Low Fat Mint
Sandwich.

Delicious low fat mint ice cream between two rich chocolatey wafers gives your tongue that
refreshing tingle. It's all 97% fat free! Enjoy!

I actually agree with everything said. It truly is delicious and the mint really makes it refreshing. Ever since I started my weight loss program, I have been having one of these as a snack pretty much everyday. I have to say they really give the feeling, taste and experience of indulgence. I also like that they are packaged as individual servings, so you know that exactly one sandwich has 140 calories. It's all laid out there for you.

The taste!
From the first bite, what you notice immediately is the soft texture of the wafers, and the cool, creamy ice cream. Then, the mint flavor hits you, and it is quite nice and not overwhelming. The ice cream itself is not as creamy as a higher fat ice cream would be, but the flavor is nice. The chocolate wafers are pleasantly not too sweet, giving somewhat of a dark or semisweet chocolate flavor to contrast with the sweet ice cream.

Serving Size
The size of each sandwich is nice. Not too small, but not overly big either. Just big enough to give that ice cream fix, a little something sweet. I, however, wish that maybe there were more than just the six servings in each package. I find that someone, namely my husband, tends to eat them all too quickly. My solution to this problem has been to buy a separate container of mint chocolate chip ice cream for my husband, who is not on any type of a weight loss program. Then, I can tell him that all of the Skinny Cow Mint Ice Cream Sandwiches are for me, and he can eat the mint chocolate chip ice cream to his heart's content!

One Downside
Other than wishing that there were more ice cream sandwiches in each package, I have only been able to find one small thing that I don't like about these treats. As you hold the ice cream sandwich to eat it, the wafer tends to stick to your fingers, leaving a chocolatey residue. This happens every time, and it can be a little messy. However, this problem is easily remedied by simply licking your fingers at the end. That is not hard for me to do at all!

In Conclusion
The Skinny Cow Mint Ice Cream Sandwiches are delicious, and low in calories! I have been eating them throughout my weight loss program so far, and have been losing weight. I recommend them to anyone who loves ice cream and mint.
