Review: Nestle/Peters No Sugar

After low-carbers and cal-counters weeped over their lost "Carb smart" ice-cream, Nestle came back with a new one! More cals but apparently an improved taste. I never had the first one so I can't realy compare but it was a you either "loved it" or "hated it" for many.

Before I get started, note that I bought the ice-cream on the day of review and ate it within three hours of freezering it so it may be totally different as it may have defrosted. I'll let you know.

Nestle/Peters No Sugar - Vanilla

Nutritional stats - a little over 1 cal per 1g. 1 47g scoop = 50 cal, 1.3g fat, 1g sat fat, 80mg calcium, and a whopping 3.9g fibre!!
Price - $5.69 for 1.4L (so wait till its on sale!! I only got it cos the so good wasnt in vanilla)

Taste - Pretty weak I found. If you have a big 70g scoop you get hte taste, but with 70 cals of ice-cream you almost may as well have 100 cals of real taste from weight watchers. 6/10
Texture - really soft and creamy - almost like soft serve. I didnt mind it tho not your lickable stuff - too soft. 7/10

Recommendations - Dont rush out and get this. Yes its a lot lower in cals than other ice-creams but why eat twice as much if you still dont get the good flavour. It might be good if you need to make an ice-cream cake, with others flavours (like a baked alaska) or if you want to have a BIG ice-cream in the hot weather, but you can only fool really young kids that its not real ice-cream, and then its way to expensive to give it to a young kid who will prolly drop it! If you are a carb-counter however, this is a good choice, as most of the other ice-creams are too high in carbs (I think this one is ok)

Other good brands include coles lite (with the woman, not the girl on the front. 606kj/100g) or even light and creamy (660kj/100g) If you're not a massive vanilla fan, try some of the weight watchers ones which altho you dont get as much/more cals come in fun flavours like mint, hazelnut swirl, butterscotch, or even double choc sundae! Its like a maccas sundae. I'll review it soon.

I'll have a taste of it today, and let you know if its still 'airy'
