These things are great...and they're HUGE!!!! Usually not a big fan of low fat frozen novelties, these changed my thinking!!

Anything Skinny Cow gets my vote. Their ice cream sandwiches seriously make my life worth living...
sheesh, how sad is that?....

I haven't tried the NSA fudge pops, but we do have the 50-cal each ones right now, and they're fantastic! We also recently tried Weight Watchers ice cream bars, and those were also really good (their ice cream seems a bit creamier than Skinny Cow's). We tend to be big ice cream eaters, and have recently decided to stop buying any ice cream, even NSA or low-cal ice cream, in 1/2 gallons. It's way too easy to overeat and end up with a whole cup or more, which is 2+ servings. At least with bars, sandwiches, and fudge pops it's portion controlled and I know exactly how much I'm getting and can limit myself easily.
 
I haven't tried their fudge bars, but their ice cream sandwiches are so yummy! They need to make a whole package of just the chocolate ones, though, instead of half chocolate half vanilla :)
 
I didn't realize the Skinny's came in NSA. They haven't made it to my grocery store yet, but I'll be waiting ;-)

Jerry, I hate to do this, but have you ever thought about what "no sugar added" means?

Bars get their substance from sugar; everything else is just flavoring. What substance do you think is holding that bar together, making it solid, if not sugar? It's usually sorbitol and mannitol, which, I'm sorry to say, are not foods and are not easily digested by the human body. Sugar has no fat, so why not just get a regular fudge bar made with sugar? The fat and calories will probably be the same (if not better) and your digestive system will thank you. ;)

In my opinion, everyone, with the possible exception of diabetics, should boycott "no sugar added" products.
 
Sorry to hear you got fired from Skinny Cow, Nancy...glad there are no hard feelings.....:)

This is a perfect example of good advertising, though...I never thought that No Sugar Added would be a bad thing..and you're right, why not just go ahead and have the sugar, since you put it that way!!

If my wife tries to eat one tonight..I'll have to show her what I learned today and say..."Don't you know it's loaded with mannitol..what's wrong with you." And then she'll look at me as if I have 3 heads, instead of my normal 2!!...:)

Seriously, Nancy, I appreciate the heads-up!!

I'm completely addicted to their ice cream sandwiches, too! I've been trying so hard to eat clean, but I just can't stop myself from eating one every night! Is that really bad?! Do the rest of you eat a sweet treat every night also??

Where I live they have the Skinny Cows ice cream sandwiches, mint, vanilla, peanut butter and chocolate. They have 140 calories each, 4 grams of fiber and contain real sugar, not the sugar free ones. I gobble these babies up, let me tell you. The regular vanilla are probably my fave!
 
You didn't just say peanut butter, did you??? Peanut Butter Skinny Cow....you need my home address to send about 50 cases????

Jerry, about 5 years ago, Skinny Cow had these delicious, and I do mean delicious, low-fat ice cream sundae cups. This was before their fudge bars became so popular. Well, I adored those sundae cups and indulged in them quite often. They resembled soft-serve ice cream and came in these cute, individual plastic bowls. I just couldn't get over how delicious they were. Then, they disappeared from the freezer case, poof. I was so distraught, I wrote an e-mail to the Skinny Cow marketing dept. They responded and told me that the sundae cups would no longer be available, due to the fact that they had miscalculated the calories and fat and that they were NOT a low-cal frozen treat! It was like the fat-free frozen yogurt Seinfeld episode. No wonder they were so yummy ;-) BTW~ Skinny Cow sent me several booklets of coupons for their fudge bars, to make up for all the pounds I had gained, eating those sundaes!

Exactly, Jerry. "No sugar added" sounds like a good thing, but they might as well say "This is not food and your body won't know what to do with it and you'll get a tummy ache". As you can tell, it really is a pet peeve of mine. x(
 
I just think the taste of most no sugar added things suck you know what. I'd rather have a few more grams of fat and real sugar, regardless of what is going in my body. However, I do love Skinny Cow stuff...we get it all the time.

Brain cells come & brain cells go, but fat cells live forever.
 
People are often so militant anti sugar that they don't consider the ramifications of eating artificially sweetened foods. There is nothing wrong, at least in my opinion, of indulging in the sweet treats in moderation and I'd personally rather have the real deal. That being said, I don't think the occasional Skinny Cow is going to hurt anyone.
 
I just have to say that sugar free foods have helped me ALOT with losing weight. But I really can't eat too much of it...cause the real sugar is replaced with "sugar alcohol" (well, most of the time) and boy it does NOT agree with my tummy...gassy and I get the quick step to the bathroom! LMAO!

OMG! That reminds me of a very funny story!:7
My roomie and I, years ago, were on a "diet" and craving sugary treats, our downfall.
So we went to the grocers and saw the bin labeled "sugar free gummy bears". We bought at least 3 pounds of these deceitful little beasts, thinking smugly of course that we had at last found a "cheat food". Well, we ate the whole bunch of bears while watching movies that night, went to bed and then all of a sudden had horrible stomach pains. We then took turns in the bathroom paying homage to the "throne!" Boy, talk about having the runs! It actually was hilarious later on, we did not realize that all of the sorbitol/mannitol they use in sugar free products caused extreme laxative effects if eaten in copious amounts!:7 :7
To this day I am even careful when I chew sugarfree gum!:eek:

Oh, and yep, if it wasn't hotter than h-e-double toothpicks here, I would gladly ship you the peanut butter Skinny Cows, strangely enough though, the vanilla ones just taste better! And I love PB! Oh, and the Skinnny Cows I get do have sugar in them, I just read the ingredients, like I stated before they contain 140 cal, 4 grams of fiber and 1.5 grams of fat. They better not be lying to us about this people!! I remember those evil little sundaes they used to sell!}(
